I don't mind the costume and hair and stuff, but the fact that she's on a motorcycle... that's really really lame. Same with the H photos. I hate when they just throw a scantily clad woman on a motorbike or car or something. It's the most unoriginal, unexciting, classless idea.

Ayu seriously is getting ****tier and ****tier by the minute. She really likes showing off her ASSets
 Now how that is empowering to women, I don't know. Her powerful lyrics, catchy tunes, and natural beauty was her trademark. Blah!

For an artist like Ayu, I see nothing wrong with being trashy to sell records. We all should know by now that Ayu doesn't sing trashy lyrics, as long as that stays unchanged, I'm happy. If that's the cover of the new single and if it comes with 2 ****ty PV's then this single will probably sell off the wall.

Okay, guys.. Seriously, I don't think its THAT bad at all.. Cause, it really isn't ..It's jus' a short skirt, and its not like shes naked under there, she has under shorts are somethin' under it. The outfit is exactly like the two outfits she wore in A Musuem for NEVER EVER and SURREAL.. aaand, from ARENA TOUR 03-04 for Because Of You, SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL. It's basically the same thing, there really isn't anything wrong it.. It looks like shes goin' with a "GIRLS ARE AWESOME! WOMEN POWERRR!" type theme for this new single, 'specially with the My Name's WOMEN PV.. The motorcycle is supposed to make her look all "Grrr.." Haha, if anyone understands that.. Buuut, of course.. this is only my opinion..

Maybe she doesn't smile because she's tired of it...I mean, how long could one go on and ALWAYS wear that smily happy mask...
After all she wrote: We have our weak sides We are not always smiling Don't forget That we don't exist to be convenient for you

The new Ayu image fits to the popular trends in Japan:
1) LOLI-CON, this means Lolita-complex. Many sociologists report that Europeans could be really scared of some mangas or movies normal hard-working Japanese businessmen read or watch. 2)Burikko-the act of pretending that you're raunchy and a little stupid often done by female singers 3)"Love hotels"-places visted by lovers are often kitschy decorated and in one of the hotel rooms you can easily find some gadgets like motorbikes or certain outfits. To sum up, in the Japanese culture erotica is not a tabu.

Honestly, i can kinda tell that those poeple that complain 'bout Hamasaki Ayumi in this photoshoot gonna be tired of her in a few more years. I mean after her she's tryin' to create new style or will you want her to copy sumeone again? Plus, i think why everyone get so excited over it when it's nut official release cover of "STEP you/is this LOVE?". The reason why i said that because the title of the single is nut even official that's it gonna be "STEP you" or "is this LOVE?" or "STEP you/is this LOVE?" or even "STEPLOVE". I jost wanna wait and see.

Well, I think her cover looks great! Yup, although it's not that of an original theme like how AUDIENCE was and how the other single covers were, but I think she's aiming for a new style, and in fact, she looks really great! I do hope they could add a few more microphones here and there though! Haha, I would prefer her to lie on some metallic stuff (screwnuts and other metallic works), some microphones and the bike! I think it would really be a very much better portrayal. With regards to her attire, I think she looks really great. Yar, she's showing more than usual, but yup, I think it's just another one of those styles she's experimenting with! Still looks great in my opinion and I'm definitely going to get the CD+DVD.
Word of Caution: I don't know what Avex is going to do with this CD+DVD set. I hope they don't do the same thing to Ayu as what they did with DAI. Release only the PVs for that song on the single and release only the non-single song PVs on the album. I hope they just release all the PVs on the album, so it's much better!
