Please explain me what getting naked may have to do with expressing your sexuality? Is this the way some people on here express their maturity? XD
Ayu is not showing her private life, no-one knows who "Hamasaki Ayumi" is, you can only believe in what she pretends to be. However, in fact she's working as a professionel in entertainment section of japanese media.
Everything people do in this business is calculated and happens for a reason. You guys can believe in whatever you want, but in my opinion
she's not losing her clothes because she's no longer an ever-virginal artificial product or trying to show new aspects of "her life".
After all, I am not really sure who decides what these album covers look like. I for one don't believe in Avex, letting an artist do anything he/she wants. It's a company and they will make sure, what they produce, what they investigate in, is gonna sell as well as possible.
For me these covers are a mirror of the most recent trends in japanese popular music, which you can see on many many, mostly female singers. Things have not always been this way. Just look at singers in the past, like Akina Nakamori, Momoe Yamaguchi, Seiko Matsuda etc.
They always portrayed a classy image and you may assume basically no-one would of ever accepted covers like "Party Queen".
That's why I don't connect these "Party Queen" covers with a possible process in maturity of Ayu as a human. For me, this is just the cheesy product of japanese businessmen and Ayu has to deal with it/them.

I was a fan of her years ago because of her unique style and songs.
