the only one that i would think would go well on the cover is the one where she's lying on the seat of the bike. but these pics are nice, i'm glad its official. but i still cant believe it's called STEP you....

As much as ayu is trying to look rougher in those it still looks so innocent in my opinion. I don't really see that cover as being worse than LOVEppears/UNITE!/Duty (the list goes on).
I agree with you 110%, how is this sexy and LOVEppears not? It just confuses me.... I'm guessing because it's "Classic/Old" Ayu

aiyaiyai!! T__T what's happening to the simple nice covers like No Way to Say, Moments, and Inspire?? It's like...that one is so skimpy..and if not, the pose overall isn't great..And I can REALLY tell this is a wig..wasn't put on very good. =( ;__;The cover makes me sad..but i hope the songs will make a good comeback! =0

Check out the official website at http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/ It looks like this will be the cover. No reason they take those pic for no purpose haha.

I must be in the minority, because I like those pics.

Yes, they are more sexy than usual, but in my opinion they are a tasteful kind of sexy. I like the whole glammed up look.

She may still look innocent, but the clothes she's wearing and the way she's sitting have definate innuendos. She's just trying way to hard to be "sexy" and "mature" in this cover, and it's not working.
"Sexiness" aside, the cover just looks cheap and fake. The wig is awful, the background is too plain but at the same time tacky...nothing looks natural. The whole cover looks tacky in my opinion.

IMO she has had covers that are just as "sexy", if not more so in the past.

And I think that the reason for the look of the cover is that judging by the pics and what we've heard of "Step You" so far, it looks like she is going for an 80s glam rock kind of feel. "Step You" gives me a bit of an 80s party rock kind of vibe for some reason. And the title "is this LOVE?" Sounds like the title for an 80s power ballad....in fact it WAS an 80s powerballad. If retro 80s rock was indeed her intent, I think the photos are really successful at getting that accross.

I do hope this wouldn't be the actual cover...cause I'm quite disappointed with these pics I don't like her new style. I prefer her old one better. Ayu's image is much better than this!! Anyways, we'll just wait and see. thanks for the info

Maybe the reason her taking so many pictures is because maybe there will be 4 different covers?

I dunno if it's a wig .. it could be extentions as well .. and extentions can be pretty long nowdays. Ouch. Bad colors to use to make it blend in with the other colors o.o
