When I saw these covers for the first thime, I instantly started to think about gossip magazines. These covers are like one big parody of 'em.

The big colorful fonts are shouting "PARTY QUEEN, AYUMI HAMASAKI" like it was the tittle of the magazine. "13TH ALBUM" like it was some scandalous detail of her life. Then, well, some of these pics do seem kinda unprofessional and casual, like taken in secret. This fits especially well with the Cd Only-cover.

When thinking about this, I began to like these covers even more. Of course it's only little idea of mine and nothing official, but still, I don't see anything too bad in these covers. I think these are clever.

I really like your reasoning here. After some time, I started thinking of a gossip or tabloid magazine when I saw the covers. Just like the tracklist, it appears that these covers will take a bit for me to appreciate them.
