^ Cool! Thanks

sooooo beautiful!!! :luv2:luv2:luv2

We can see her drinking the same bottle of water everywhere.

This advertisement is so lazy. Most of the pictures are screen captures from the CM........

I don't think she did extra promo shots ... People will buy all her stuff anyway.

can't wait till forevermore comes out!

I'm actually completely amazed that she'd do this much promo. Remember when Ayu used to have entire buildings covered in her single and album covers? And the truck that used to go through Tokyo with her promo plastered on every side? It's just nice to see actual promo stuff being done. I wish I could just go there and stand at the street corner and witness it.

You're complaining about them using screencaps from the CM on posters but I don't really think that's a problem.

It could be worse, she could be using a screencap as the cover for her album, right, Britney Spears?

Besides, the photos (not screen caps, as they are not directly taken from the cm) are pretty, except some of them showing her dry pale lips...

LOL these ads were everywhere when I was at Tokyo last month. Tbh it was a little creepy, bc some of them are huge and it shows her face with her eye bag, dry lips and some wrinkles. I mean I understand they are trying to make it untouched and natural but it was just too much for a giant headshot ad.

OMG, I hate it when singers do that! It feels so cheap!

Actually that's very important for female image. Why female have to be portraited with flawless skin, perfect hair, no wrinkles at all, juicy lips all the time? I think it's dope that she accepted that direction. It can change the whole perception of female image in Japan :)

^yeah, I thought the same and i don't understand the criticism.

The more I looked at these pictures, I hate less and I am impressed more.

I hate them at first because I feel they are lazy, but more I look, these pictures make people relaxed. The mountain, nature, and the sky etc can destress people in the city.

I think she looks great. It's okay to have pictures that are natural and imperfect.

^I do think it's even more important these days

I actually love those pics BECAUSE they are imperfect. I honestly don't need to see another photoshop image that doesn't even show a real human being anymore.

I think you are right at this point.

^ lol Jokes aside, the real one might be my favorite cover of her. I love the fakeness of it.
One of the things I like about Utada the most it's her simplicity when it comes to image, it's really great to see such an influential artist changing beauty standards :yes
