GUILTY covers from TA

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

Yay!
no (m)u covers this time!


Looks like they skinned the leopard from Duty to make a dress out of it for GUILTY XD

Good thing I ordered CD only! And first press photobook!

[Marseille]

THESE ARE FANTASTIC!!! I love her new hair color!!

[ayumisrael]

wow ayu looks hot.

[cttncandy]

I don't know... I really don't know....... I don't know!!! I am not really excited... looks like just another beauty shot... Ayu wtf why!! *cries profusely*...

I kinda like the CD version better.... I think I am going to go and pre-order that one too because I might like it more than the CD DVD one which I already pre ordered.

[Halla]

the CD-only cover isn't the best possible, I think the picture with Ayu laying down they are seen taking in the Deji Deji diary would have probably made a better cover.

Overall tho I'm liking the feel of the covers tho

[Mercedes]

At first I thought they were photoshopped from some magazine. But they're actually kinda nice. I could really give a care less that the title doesn't match the cover

[Choyan]

OO, wow, nice~ :O

the photobook does have that magazine cover look... (Vogue~)
but then it's what they were after I suppose XD


many thanks~

[SKYia]

absolutely awesome............... !!! O.o

[Calico]

Oh...no.

Anyway, as usual I prefer the CD+DVD cover. But not by much. That thing she's wearing in the CD only is total blargh.

God I hope the music is awesome, because thus far this album is totally panning for me. =\

[minna]

ohh I love them!! They are really beautiful!!!

[Ayappe]

I love them.... She looks natural... and... well i like them...!! They don't look fake.. but.. if they're..well.. compliments.. well done xD

I think the reason why I am so apathetic towards this is because this album was shaping up to be this amazing emotional roller coaster. In my mind Ayu was going to go all the way with a very dark themed cover or something that conveyed the strong feeling she is trying to make us think this album has.

For the cover to be another beauty shot... I don't know it just takes away from that feeling in my opinion. It just makes me feel like things are just going to be glossy and pretty. I love Ayu because her lyrics are extremely moving and she has substance in most of her songs. But I really wish she wasn't so focused on glamorous and pretty.

There is nothing really "tale-telling" about this photos, in fact they look like your average photoshoot you would find in a fashion magazine. I don't see any substance here, in the photoshoots of I am..., Duty, Rainbow, and even My Story there was a feeling being conveyed, a story. I was just expecting some amazing creative aspect, not just a beauty shot.

I agree in a way. I like the covers, but the title and what ayu says about the album makes one expect something different. But we don't yet know the actual meaning behind the title nor the feelings conveyed in the songs... Maybe once we know, it won't be "just a beauty shot".

While I agree that her covers should have more substance.. it's something I have learned to accept.

Anyway, wouldn't you agree that her earlier covers lacked substance as well, or even more so? Duty and LOVEppears are both brilliant albums with.. slightly tacky concepts. My friends took one look at those covers, called her hot, and got the impression that she was some **** who sang about being a ****.

Duty might have been "tacky" (even though I don't think so ) but there was a concept behind the photos.

^A concept? Really? All I see is a cat-girl in a cage. The only Ayu album covers that I see having meaning are I am... and maybe RAINBOW, or maybe it's just that RAINBOW's cover is so artistic. I don't know.

I would have to say Duty, I am..., RAINBOW, and MY STORY did, even though Memorial address was her best cover by far, followed by RAINBOW

Yes a concept. She is an animal in a cage, and the way the photoshoot is set up it's as if she is being watched for mere entertainment (as animals are behind cages in a zoo). I don't know about you but there is something powerful about the way those pictures are set up.

And anyway, We could apply the same kind of thinking to the Rainbow covers... i mean she is just naked on a swimming pool dressed in different colors =D

[the3ye]

she's GUILTY because the covers are CRA*!
what the hell is that?

[lovemimi40]

Honestly, these covers look fake. I think they're pictures inside the photobook, and someone just pasted the words GUILTY on them and claimed they were the covers. I'm still hoping for something better..something dark and mysterious...some tears involved maybe? lol
