'again' mini album covers

[Mari-chan]

I thought, she would choose a more winter-looking cover.
But they are ok. I don't care, who is there with her.

I think there's a difference between basing your lyrics on personal experiences (loads of artists do this) and putting your partner on an album cover and revealing you're dating a few days before.

Aside from the Love Songs era, I can't think of any PVs that explicitly cite her real life relationships. Some covers have had a message, but this is the only one where it's, again, explicit.

There's definitely a difference between making an allegory using actors and using your boyfriend.

i wonder when she break up with him how this covers will look to her...

Special 6th consecutive release mini-album for her 15th anniversary Out April 8, 2013 though a sooner release may be expected

Yeah, someone said it doesn't show his face, so it won't be that big a deal if and when it happens... but Ayu will remember the time and feelings from when they were shot. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

I guess it depends on the way they'd break up and the way Ayumi looks at past relationships. She doesn't seem to regret any, she seems to have a "ok, it didn't work, but I'm thankful for the happy times" approach.

Lol.

I like the simpleness of the cover but maro ruins it for me,
Even if he's somewhat blocked.

These covers feel rushed also.
"We been dating for a month, let's put you on the cover."

Maro is cute but idk.

The h covers are amazing btw.

I thought the same thing.

[Andrenekoi]

And we don't even know if they will break up

[Yoake]

It's really fresh to see one of her cover with another person even if we don't see him very well.

[BluishDays]

I like the covers, although i like the cd one more, I just think it's sweet, but I'll be buying the dvd version since I always buy the dvd versions ; ;

[chocopockymaster]

I know I've seen Ayu wear rings on her left ring finger before that didn't necessarily reflect hr marital status at the time (she was wearing them a lot during DT2001 for example) but looking at these covers...it looks to me in the CD version that she's wearing an engagement ring and a wedding band. That, coupled with the title, and the fact that it's Maro in the picture with her...I swear, if my eyebrows were raised any higher, they'd blend in with my hairline.

zeke ur drma queen overreactions r hilarious n unsurprising LOL its like u kep forgetting maro is her dancer n her coworker n *gasp* yes is gonna appear in her works!!!!! i know wtf is tha about eh ****in weird RIGHT? honey this isnOT "in our face" LOL

Lol, when Ayu's selling 100 copies per release and everyone still continues to say "well you know for as long as she has been in the business that is good" we will all look back and see that once Ayu started becoming almost irresponsible in a way, regarding her real-life and the "Hamasaki Ayumi" image, is when her career took a much sharper decline. I'm not saying this is the worst thing in the world but I think it's weird how some people don't even have the slightest, ... "uh...?" feeling about this whole thing.

[saigodansu]

She's wearing the same bands she tried to pass off as the wedding bands with Mannie and those same bands are in pics dating back to atleast 2007. In case the recent events don't open eyes enough. Every relationship that has been in the press is a publicity stunt , same as this one. No one has to wait to find out if they will break up, because they were never together. Their kiss in You & Me people keep talking about, no one can miss a mouth by that far without trying to miss. Use this experience to open your eyes as to just how far Avex will have her go just to put her back in the headlines.

She looks so young and cute in the CD+DVD cover. Maro sharing the cover with her is a little distracting but not a big deal.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

They'll need to grow on me.
