Party Queen / Power of Music / CDL 2011-2012 official covers

[jewelbox]

IS THIS FOR REAL????

[truehappiness]

Something tells me that this might end up like Love songs and we'll get a slipcase or something. I mean, what else will we "see" when we get it?

I wonder what Ayu means with her tweet...

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Huh? What's up with that last tweet?

Really??? 2 me, She looks very sad that is why I love them☆RT @A_Tal_Segal: @ayu_19980408 Covers are so party queen hahaha =D

Sad? Hmmm, very interesting, i can already see a hidden meaning behind those covers

[chocopockymaster]

She must be smoking crack. Or she's trolling everyone. I don't even know, at this point.

[kiseki]

She could've represented the theme in a better way.
I'm really disappointed in her covers.

[KPL]

Mysterious tweets.

[LEOyumi]

Absolutely LOVE these covers! The CD+DVD one is my favorite, love her expression in it.

If I write out a long reply now I am pretty sure you will just ignore it since you already used such idiotic arguments that I know you are completely convinced of that crap.

BTW, I fully agree with the video. I watched all 4 of her short speeches on the topic. It just can't be used to show that this cover is good or bad. Actually I'd say it does the opposite.

Seriously, what's your problem? Who do you think you are to say someone posts are idiotic? Please understand this is a forum and you need to learn to respect other people's opinion. You need to stop acting like you own the whole truth of the universe and relax

Btw, i don't really think it's a parody of a tabloid. It should have headlines like "scandal!" Or any other message that goes along with these kind of press.

[pimenta]

TOTALLY UNEXPECTED! O_O
But I loved it!! *O*

[jewelbox]

I can't believe this. MUST be a joke.. If it's not.. ......

[truehappiness]

I wonder if Ayu is laughing right now, bahahaha.

Sometimes you don't just say things directly ;3

ayumi hamasaki @ayu_19980408 I think she doesn't wanna b a party queen.RT @Blasterion: or maybe the party queen wants to escape the party? @ayu_19980408 I don't know?

She's 33, so she's old enough to do this. This is NOT the same Ayu as we saw some 5-10 years ago. (But I do miss her younger days...)

She kind of looks HOT with her full body... (almost that lower back tattoo was shown...so close)

But especially the fact that (not including the "how beautiful you are" digital single) this is her first studio album WITHOUT any physical singles contained here (just about "clean sheet")...

I mean, this cover is just way over the top here! Especially the fact that I just woke up and right there on the very first minute I checked my computer/Twitter all of a sudden the album covers just came out, after saying that "I'm patient" and the fact that I am NOT rushing for the covers to come out, unlike some of you guys who want the cover "NOW"...

Not even mentioning the compossition and design itself IMO and with that leopard print it's like the tackyest part of it all! Let alone those hooker heels & that pose.... it's like... i don't even wanna start explaining that....

I was referring to those people who don't think the Duty covers are "trashy."

I see everyone's point about the covers, I really do. It's the people that act like Ayu doesn't sell sex that I find to be annoying and contradicting. Have y'all seen her "idol" pictures before she started singing? They're much more sexually explicit than these photos merely because of the symbolism and the suggestive nature of the photos. People act shocked every time Ayu does something "new", but this is really nothing new. She's been doing this for years... just with different executions. Ayu's image is more Madonna than Tori Amos... always has been. These photos aren't even on the level of Kesha... more like a FHM/Maxim shoot. Big deal.

[Not Fade Away]

O.O" ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....?!??!

*takes Namie's 'Go Round' photoshoot and places it far far away from PQ photoshoot*

Well at least I possibly have a Namie album cover to look forward to in the near future.

KOKO OMG YOU GOT A REPLY!!!

... this day is getting weirder and weirder, what is Ayu trying to hint us?

[Tom Punks]

So I guess what Ayu's trying to say is that the covers aren't supposed to be straight up trashy to be trashy, they're trashy because they're supposed to portray a party queen who is sad and doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore. Or something.

That kind of explains them, actually. In the CD+DVD cover, she's smiling, but the room is trashed like she got upset and threw everything all over the place. In the CD only cover, she's smiling, but she's holding a tissue as if she were crying into it or something.

That explains why the album was called a concept album, and why it looks like it starts off with only a few party songs and then heads into a ******** of rockish songs. It's probably somewhat a story about a girl who is a party queen and then changes or something lol.
