This is going to be an interesting release.
Maybe she ended up not liking what they shot in London or the London shots are going to be used for the album booklet instead.

No matter what's the concept, they're horrible.
And no I don't believe in any "deep meaning" when I see them, and especially when I know WHEN they were shot. She just made this photoshoot and then chose to use pics from it to make the covers.

Seriously... I'm sorry if I don't agree with a lot of you but I'm really disappointed.

I still think there's a lot to look forward to, so writing it off right away is kind of silly to me. I still have reservations about the design of the covers, but the pictures themselves don't bother me.

Ayu just confirmed on Twitter that they are parodies of tabloid/gossip magazine covers.

the whole sad party queen idea is interesting...but sad isn't the vibe that i get when i look at these covers. maybe the larger versions will make the feeling more apparent.

or maybe i just need "sad" to be a little more obvious.

people are just overreacting too much... if she released those covers and by what she says in the tweets it may be for a reason.

I don't say, that my idea is a right one, but I really like it myself.

When I saw these covers for the first time, I instantly started to think about gossip magazines. These covers are like one big parody of 'em.

The big colorful fonts are shouting "PARTY QUEEN, AYUMI HAMASAKI" like it was the tittle of the magazine. "13TH ALBUM" like it was some scandalous detail of her life. Then, well, some of these pics do seem kinda unprofessional and casual, like taken in secret. This fits especially well with the Cd Only-cover.

When thinking about this, I began to like these covers even more. Of course it's only little idea of mine and nothing official, but still, I don't see anything too bad in these covers. I think these are clever.
I think they are quite refreshing from the close up face in a studio shots and I like them. If I had that body, I'd show it off And if this concept is right and it certainly fits with the style and fonts then I love it even more.

As someone mentioned Lady Gaga's album cover...I also hated it but loved the inside. And I like the songs so far. I'm getting drunk to Party queen on Friday. Might make my housemate listen to it too!

er.. so it seems like the covers are a sort of parody of tabloid magazines? well unless she's portraying an overall image not herself being called party queen, cuz I somehow don't recall a sinle article calling her a party queen or party girl or whatever....

Even though, the covers appear to be parodies, it is sad that they're of a bad taste =(

It's fine by me, the tabloid parody thing... But why on earth these COVERS has to be a dmn parody? A booklet would have been fine. But covers are important, not a joke....

ayu is like that tho
she said there's even a deeper meaning and sadness to bold & delicious that brings her to tears so i believe it
she's kind of weird that way lol

anyway i like the covers. her covers have been getting predictable and it's nice to have something completely different for a change.
my fave is the CD only, she's so qt.

This makes it even worse. Seriously, if she's supposed to be ~sad, what the hell are we supposed to get from the CD+DVD+DVD cover? There's no way that pose can be interpreted in a non-sexual way, so...what does that say? It almost implies rape.

WHAT IS GOING ON, MY BRAIN CANNOT HANDLE THIS *****ERY
