Album art: Ayumi Hamasaki - Party queen

This trick. Has she lost her damn mind!? Avex slap hush money at Manuel over some pictures of his willy flapping around in black and white. And then they go and commission a picture of Ayu assed out in some box? I love them. I should hate the Party queen album covers (there are 3 versions - each on horrid) with every ounce of my being. But they're are so f**king horrendous that they're classic and amazing. I want Avex to slap this shit on every digital screen in Shibuya the week this album drops. I had no idea Ayu had a skank streak in her. She made Kumi's album covers look conservative. I like to think that this is Ayu completely jacking Kumi as a middle finger to her for ripping off the Rock 'n' roll circus album covers with that surrealist Salvador Dali meets a Trafalgar square souvenir shop mess that was the Deja vu album cover.

Ayu seems to have developed a thing for London ever since her work on Rock 'n' roll circus - which involved recording, filming a video and shooting the inlay over here. Ayu began recording Party queen in London and ended up doing most of her sessions over here as well as filming two of the music videos here. She really does need to consider doing a gig in London. It must surely be on her mind. It'd sell out in a heartbeat. And I will say this here and now, that I would pay this hoe money. Bitch does NOT play with the stage productions. Although her vocals have been sounding more of a hot mess than usual live as of late.
