About AUDIENCE cover.

immel · #1 17th June 2006, 11:24 PM

I saw this question posted over at AYUNITE! and thought it could create an interesting discussion.

What message is Ayu trying to give with the cover of AUDIENCE?

(Notice that every person on the cover is Ayu)

My first thought was that it is to tell her fans that they mean as much to her as she does to them.

The feeling of standing on stage with thousands of people cheering you on is awesome, it really can't be described in words. It seems like Ayu somehow want to show her fans how she feels and how grateful she is.

What do you think, am I just on a past midnight ramble?

I don't know, all I know is that those arms aren't her's because they're so fat and manly (have you seen the HQ version of it yet?)

I think that she wanted to express her love for her fans through that cover, as she also does in the song^^

I think it's kinda funny XD if you look at the detailsXD

the very middle ayu (with the hat) doesn't even look anatomically correct

^A lot of them don't, I think. I wonder what the purpose is, surely some complex message behind all of it... it's a conspiracy! :-O :-O :-O

i bet they put her face on a picture of fans. cuz every Ayu's proportions are different.

Obiously she's cheering the fans, thanking them for doing the same to her.

THose arms looks kind of freaky. O.o

Very possible, I thought about that aswell.

Now I think we should try to stay more on topic, any ideas what the actualy message really can be?!

Message? Umm its just a cover. Theres a ton of people because the song is called audience, and why hire like 5000 extras when she could just do it herself?

Could the fact that there are different colors represent anything?

i never noticed her arms...everything looks so unnatural.

Maybe shes just that egotistical that she needed a cover all to her self...unlikely though.

Neo Daydream · #14 18th June 2006, 01:55 AM

that's a really good question. *shrugs* I guess she just wanted to give something to us.

truehappiness · #15 18th June 2006, 02:01 AM

In the CM I think it was like.. her staff or something.. [the bodies were..]

There were some names and stuff on the CM~ [OR NOT >3<] x3

Yeah, that's why I wonder what message she is trying to give us

Delirium-Zer0 · #18 18th June 2006, 04:17 PM

I think, based on the lyrics and the context of the Duty album, she's putting herself in her fans' place and seeing herself from their point of view. That's the idea behind the album "Duty"... she has a duty to her fans to uphold an image and be a good role model. So for the AUDIENCE cover, she's seeing the situation from their POV, and considering herself just another person like them... "I don't want to be a leader, but I don't want to follow anyone either... When one among you says 'YES'!, I should say 'YES!' too!"

micster · #19 18th June 2006, 04:19 PM

To be honest i think people are going too far into this

She wrote a song called audience, she thought it would be cool to have herself as the audience on the cover

Beautiful, thanks for telling, Delirium-Zer0
