lol @ her missing arm. i get the feeling the cd+2dvd is tame compared to what's going to be inside . can't wait for the rest of the shoot.

very disappointing that i misinterpretated her tweet as having pink hair for the covers. that hair on the covers is butt-ugly though, she looks like someone applied wet hair gel on her hair and combed it back

The PLAYBUTTON covers are cute! I like Secret's the most.

I wonder if Party Queen's cover would be her lingerie-donned buttocks. Can we say buttocks on AHS? You know what. Just did. Here's hoping.

OH, NOW I GOT THE ARM THING! Her arm is BEHIND the table's foot (I'm calling it table because I don't really know what that is) and her head and because of the angle the picture was taken it looks like it's gone... It's still strange though xD

But I still want bigger versions to understand what is that thing appearing in the back in the mirror o-o

This is my first actual post here (I think?), but I just had something I wanted to say

Speculation is fine, but I think some of us should reserve our judgement until at least the PVs come out. Remember Ladies' Night? It's an upbeat dance song that starts off with Ayu wearing something a little different and skimpy (at least more than what we were used to), and without knowing Japanese or having the english translated lyrics, it just sounded like a fun song. Then throughout the PV there is a bit of dark imagery, some foreshadowing, and actually the song is about something much much more than having fun with some girlfriends. I think Party Queen could go down the same road.

Ayu's had no problems getting the point across for 14 albums, 50 singles and nearly 14 years under avex. I really don't see why this one was so off the mark to her audience.
I would say that with her track record of 50 singles and 15[?] albums, there's probably a reason why it's so out there this time around. It doesn't seem to be because she wants to be 'random and fun' if she's hinting at a deeper meaning. I know what she said the meaning was is not obvious at all but it seems like that's her point. If the covers were a bit less thrown together-looking and a bit more of a tasteful pose chosen for the CD+2DVD, I think people would have way less problems with these covers. While the covers are very much NOT Ayu, her having a reason behind them is.

I don't think anyone knows for sure what she's getting at with these covers but I think it will become clear when the CD actually comes out.

I still don't see anything related to tabloids. The only thing i see in covers is an ode to excess.

The album title is supposed to be a bit of a "magazine title" (though horribly done) and there's a sticker where there'd normally be a "SCOOP: AYU DIVORCES HER HUSBAND" or something like that on top of a barcade where magazines normally have barcodes.

Zero tie-ins? how beautiful you are has a pretty good (if not great) drama tie-in.

I hope Ayu gets first

ABC just finished their version of Kuu's 12 single project and are at their highest peak, Ayu has zero tie-ins that are big and only got her fanbase for this release

Her arm is behind a table leg in the CD+2DVD and her face isn't photoshopped that much. The original NOT retouched version can be found in her TeamAyu blog entry and it's really not that different.

that drama isn't that big .___.

anyway it would be great if avex got her a CM,she could star in, the best promo imo

I don't really mind about the photoshop in CD+DVD. In fact; I didn't even notice. It's that AHS point out all the flaws + improvements, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it.
