GUILTY covers from TA

[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.

AAAH! I love them! Those are totally not the covers that people expected. ...ugh, more GUILTY and Duty comparisons. >.<

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

[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

[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

Look at a lot of her singles (STEP you / is this LOVE? for example), or vogue.

bAD text is not really a "New" or "Uncommon" thing for Ayu. XD

but even there you can see "design" on them... but these covers.. dunno... just the first thing that came to my mind was "the design looks awkward".

Like I said, I could be wrong, is just my opinion.

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.

[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

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

As cttncandy said, there seems to be little story here (hell, even (m)u had a concept). But I can't complain, as long as the stuff inside is good.

That's possible. Guess only someone from TA can confirm this.

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".

[[taskin.ayu]]

Hmmm not bad.. they suit more as single covers than an album cover. Damn me and my high expectations. XD

[darc_aqua]

unexpected and impressive

to me its like the covers Secret+Duty+I am.... = GUILTY

[ayumisrael]

It can't be fake because those pics are new..
question is are they photobook pics or really the covers of the album?
Don't care if they are 'cause they're hawt. That's what I think.

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 ****.
