^ I think the long-held belief is that I Am...'s original photoshoot was used in Ayu-mi-x IV Acoustic Orchestra as it's by far her most artistic remix shoot to date. She mentioned something about feeling a need to change the cover to reflect hope and forging a new world or something akin to that, hence the dove to symbolize peace, the ivy as a natural or Eve-like theme etc...
But, yeah, wow, this cover is the superior Party Queen cover, I love these!!! *___*
Unfortunately I spent a lot of money on Lolita clothing this month haha, maybe if it's still available in July I can get it as part of my birthday present - Ayu's photo books are always gorgeous, and I suppose it's not too few pages for the price.....
No release date yet? Hopefully I can get it!
