I predict that these covers will reflect already-hinted-at 'mature' themes. i.e. the affair presented within the Step by Step PV, the few shots we've received from the Sayonara PV with Ayu lying next to one of the members of SpeXial on a bed. Also, I mean, gosh, the appellation of the album itself, sixxxxxx. A ONE was the return of Ayu imo, and I'm glad that she's followed it up with choosing something darker for summer; while perhaps a bit more explicit that her subtler younger self, I feel like it is a return to form.
Also, I feel like these covers are quite reminiscent of some of the A BEST cover shots, photos that convey a certain honesty, rawness, and even suffering.
