『A SUMMER BEST』8. August 2012 ~III~

[ExodusUK]

iTunes should work http://www.macworld.com/article/1156...o_rip_cds.html I went to a record store in Times Square in Causeway Bay two months ago and was surprised by the amount of Ayu DVD & CDs, more than any other Japanese artist.

[toLOVE]

Is Ayu okay this year with her album cover? Because she been picking all these ugly cover for the album cover and the booklet and photobook have all these flawless pictures.

[ExodusUK]

it's called marketing...Japan doesn't want to see a woman in her 30s being sexy on billboards. As party queen proved...

[BlackSilence]

^ THAT would explain it xD

& um being sexy and being pretty is 2 different things....*shrugs*

being a guy and also showing the picture (CD+2DVD) to a lot of guys, I can tell you PQ is sexy. Basically anyone straight found it hot but my gay friends think she has more class to do that From a guys point of view PQ cover does work to grab our attention

If it's the only sexy pictures of Ayu they've seen, then maybe so. But for those of use who know she is capable of looking so much SEXIER (BoY PV, WE MEN shoot, NAKED TALK, Deji Deji Diary Bikini / Beach Pics, my name's WOMEN PV, lingerie scenes in Mirrorcle World PV, Wacoal Bra photoshoots, BLUE BIRD covers...), it is just depressing.

With Ayu, it's not just about her body. Her body is not that amazing. It's her stunning face and jaw-dropping eyes. It's her "look" that is so freaking hot. And with Party Queen she's got a slicked back hair-do that has NO written all over it!

I agree with this.
There is more to sexy then just posing have naked.
thats not sexy, thats trashy. and Party Queen was never meant to be sexy, it was suppose to be trashy and it worked.

I dont think women need to be in their underwear to be considered sexy.

[Yumsushi]

Damn...If not the cover why not make that awesome shot the poster? What's wrong with these people?

But even if there was a vision or theme that she was aiming for that was beyond the comprehension of us petty mortals, the S&S Love is all cover alone throws that theory out the window.

Many will agree that PQs cover was trashy not sexy, and poorly executed at that. I don't think its negative reception is any indication of Japan's overall view of sexy women in their 30s. Wasn't Namie 30 when BF was released? I don't think the ultra sexy cover affected the album's reception at all (or 60s70s80s either).

[TeamAyu2004]

so far I love all those photos in the booklet!
amazing!

[freedreamer]

Once again...Ayu's trying to say...Smiles on the surface dont represent anything you are underneath... XD

It's subjective

Thanx for the info.



It seems that the booklet could be a good reason to buy this album.

STUNNING GORGEOUS PERFECT BOOKLET

Excuse me as I wipe my drool and tears up.

Her face looks a bit Tomiko Van-ish in the 'fierce' shot.

[sesshy]

That sexy fierce picture.... WHY wasn't this the cover. Someone needs to be kicked. Omfg, can't wait for the HQ pictures!

[pommy48]

All kinds of angry as to why they chose such crappy cover shots then!

[jkm444]

I am glad the inside booklet pictures looks nice. Overall the pictures for this album is better then Party Queen.
