I'm not sure what this has to do with ViVi but she looks so sweet and cute there. It looks like she just woke up or something, her hair looks really messy lol.

Really? I think because most people are kind of disappointed with her facial expression.

I'd just like to say that I am not saying that she can't be sexy or whatever...
I'm definitely not saying she can't be nude, because she's been that way before.
I really loved the photoshop in like 2002 with her and those guys in bondage ones...
It's because she looked strong and in control.
I liked LOVE'n'HATE performance from AT09...
Or usually if she is nude, it looks elegant or artistic, or with a message.

Her image to me is "strong" "in control," and that she doesn't need to pose like "Come to bed" or ~~MOE~~

Moe is some Akihabara term, and it's definitely used only by otaku ones,
And it kind of degrades her character, because Moe is used just for making money from pervert old men, or otaku teenagers in Japan.

If she had a laughing face, or like a stoic face, or like fierce b**ch face, it'd be great.
But I really really hate her facial expression. It looks like a bimbo...

Anyways, yeah... I understand everyone has own opinion...
_ _);; sorry about my opinion.

Aw, she looks cute <3

i can understand why people think this looks "vulgar", because her facial expression is flirty and her boob was definitely enhanced to appear bigger. she's been nude before but her expression totally changes the direction of the picture.

but at the same time, who cares? she's a grown woman and she's never done something this sexy before. people being worried that she's going to sex up her image is ridiculous. this is Ayu we're talking about. i don't think she could sex up her image even if she tried. :laugh

Daaaang. That's all I really have to say...

Oh wow. She is so great

I quote myself lol

For me..the facial expression is totally ok.

At least, she's doesn't have a stupid face like these pictures:




She's wonderful, absolutely not vulgar. She doesn't do something like that everyday, it's something of special

im totally with you :D

i am trying to persuade myself to accept this sexy ayu. and i kind of like this photoshoot in some extend, ayu is bravely trying to give us fan another image and style.

what concerns me is that her facial expression and makeup. i hope she looks a bit more "mild" in other shots. and i can't deny that i miss her old/younger makeup so much, the time she didn't use heavy eyeliner.

that's a very nice shot!!!!! I have no effin idea what's wrong with you people =_=

oh my GOD I LOVE IT

I think a lot of the "makeup" that some of you see is just intense shadows.

The second one is good, the other blow tho.

I like the new picture, its a lot better than them ugly pictures she'd been taken before this where she looked like a bag lady.

SIDE BOOB HOUR!!!

it is, and honestly, she looks great with it because her eyes are so big...they just get so emphasized and gorgeous.

She's lucky she can wear such intense blacks without her looking like a raccoon.

^So true. I would LOVE to be able to pull off dark eye make up like her...unfortunately it just makes me look like a crack wh**e:P.

exactly. the dark smokey look is perfect for her eyes. :yes

Personally, after the excitement from yesterday night... I'm beginning to see the photo more closely.

You know, that "HIT ME!" face she's got... that's probably the flaw of the photo lol.. since it looks pretty odd tbh. But I still think her being naked isn't THAT a big deal... I mean it's Ayu after all, it's not like she's gonna sing about sex and what not just because she starts posing naked otherwise she'd be singing about sex and getting laid since LOVEppears!

And the symbolism about her nudity and what not.. oh dear I think we should be over the era when Ayu would put symbolism behind EVERYTHING she does. That was so 5 years ago... she's simpler and more direct now ^^

Btw, there's supposedly a whole shoot for this, and what we have is but a preview. How could we judge so much, based on one photo? I at least hope she doesn't do such an odd facial expression for every photo in the whole shoot~

I hope there's a big two-page photo.

omg that would be so awesome <3
