I mean, her butt is more in focus than her. And a combination of that, of how thin she is (like.. poor ayu ), of the boots (!).. I just really don't like the way she is going.
Also, I found this cover while I was in school. I don't like to be embarrassed by looking at her album covers in school.. magazines, fine, but albums.. >__<

^I don't think they're trashy at all. But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm not getting the porn cover...
Have you ever seen a porn cover? Ayumi is pretty tame compared to what you can find on porn covers...

^I agree. The CD+2DVD cover is not pornographic. Risqué? Yes. But similar to covers of porno films/magazines/etc.? No. My boyfriend pointed this out to me and I agree that the CD+2DVD cover is supposed to represent her feelings on how Avex uses her as a means to get money. They don't care about her as a person. I would think that Ayu feels dehumanized by this.

I think that the non pornographic cover is very similar to the acting of Ayu in Sparkle. But only in a still image...

Two and a half weeks. Is it too late for her to administer sudden cover change? Like in the I am... days.

^Unless a big disaster happens, no I don't see a cover change happening anytime soon.

They reminded me of Sparkle as well. The difference is that Sparkle was actually inspired by porn while Party Queen was inspired by tabloid magazines.

^ where did you read that?

Sparkle was not that hardcore, in my opinion. She was not showing that much of a skin in there. And the latex made her more looking fierce than erotic sexy

At some point a while ago I believe it was general agreement that *the current covers* were a big disaster. Now everyone seems to go bananas for them. Must be ayu's lingerie-donned arse.

It's not so much 'read' as much as it is 'seen' since the film in question looks almost exactly like Sparkle but was released quite some time earlier. Like... the same sets and outfits. A lot of the stuff used in Sparkle looks like it's actual outfits used in that kind of film.

And the album cover thing... it's what it said in Misa-chan's translation but I don't know what the original said. It was the "Back to Japan!" entry from December. (Again, translated by Misa-chan!)

I just reached Japan safely ♪ Just can’t stop smiling. (laugh)
Well, this time, we did 3 PVs and recorded 12 songs, shot the album cover, attended dance school, all in one month…..

Um... No.

I don't know about sparkle.. I dont know much about it, but if it has the same sets and what not then fine, but...
but in general tight leather/plastic whatever does not = porn.

Um. Yes, according to almost everyone who laid eyes on them the first time, which isthisLOL's blog post beautifully illustrates.

Is it bad that I never saw Sparkle that way? I thought that it was supposed to be showcasing the innocent side of people (Ayu) versus the sexual, take charge side.

I'd say that it's up to the way you want to interpret it.

I think that the actual intention of the video was to illustrate what isthisLOL? had mentioned in his blog post about sexuality since for some people that kind of 'idol' is a huge turn on. The fact that they went with that sort of inspiration for most of the PV makes it very clear imo. Who'd have known that there'd be an Ayu PV that was inspired by such films?

AR (augmented reality) cards are regular-sized cards that show 3D CG images when you view them with a compatible (3DS, cellphone, etc.) camera. The images "pop" out of the card and stand/hover on top of them.

The AR card for "Party Queen" sounds like it's going to be an ayupan standing on a stage.

Now I wonder if she knew about that film or if she was completely unsuspecting (Kazuyoshi Shimomura notwithstanding XD)
