I think the reason why I am so apathetic towards this is because this album was shaping up to be this amazing emotional roller coaster. In my mind Ayu was going to go all the way with a very dark themed cover or something that conveyed the strong feeling she is trying to make us think this album has.
For the cover to be another beauty shot... I don't know it just takes away from that feeling in my opinion. It just makes me feel like things are just going to be glossy and pretty. I love Ayu because her lyrics are extremely moving and she has substance in most of her songs. But I really wish she wasn't so focused on glamorous and pretty.
There is nothing really "tale-telling" about this photos, in fact they look like your average photoshoot you would find in a fashion magazine. I don't see any substance here, in the photoshoots of I am..., Duty, Rainbow, and even My Story there was a feeling being conveyed, a story. I was just expecting some amazing creative aspect, not just a beauty shot.
