My opinion on the Ayu = Caucasian-ish thing is that she's looked like this ever since LOVEppears. She's always had a non-black haircolor and has looked very foreign. Her look is very non-traditional Japanese, especially since she's been using crazy makeup since her debut.
I think that she should try to keep things Asian for the next single. Kimonos and hot black hairdo, please! And easy on the eyelashes!

Yeah, she always looks Caucasian. However, it's never been quite this extreme, I don't think. Not even in the off my day/on my way photobooks where she looked quite Western too. I mean, I can't exactly explain it. The "homg not Asian" meter is broken when it comes to these covers. And no she doesn't always look 19.
Exhibit A:
She actually looks her age here. Doesn't look like someone used Photoshop after eating three bags of skittles either. And as for the whole "well it's not an album cover" argument...
Exhibit B:
Why yes, it is possible to look one's age AND one's ethnicity! :O :O :O
Seriously speaking though, I'm not saying it's terrible for her to cross cultural boundaries. However, sometimes people need to know it's okay to be who you are and not have to capitalize on someone else's standards of beauty. And looking Asian means you have to throw on a 17th century kimono and have stick straight black hair? Not rly, no.
Exhibit C:
I rest my case.
