the fishlip act has to stop, now!

Seriously, what happened? Is Ayu okay? :(

i miss real ayu so much. image and songs are two diffrent things, true, but i loved this oversmiled, short haired ayu... this teeny ayu from real me / rainbow album era. or the perfect girl - dark haired ayu!

baww ;_; xD

i saw this magazine at the store, it's really not that bad. i think the scanner can't pick up the subtle detail... she is pretty and looks cute in the real mag

her recent photoshoots remind me of the latest photos of Kim Jong-il, where it is not entirely clear if he's alive at all.

aaahh, I could tolerate the bangs which make her forehead look two times wider, the too-blonde-hair which has been there for too long, the circle lens she doesn't need, but the total lack of dignified calmness and subtle playfullness she used to have in her expressions just breaks my heart.

^ LMFAO what a comparison!

Worst cover of "Sweet" magazine that I've ever seen. Such a shame I was planning on purchasing this issue because September is my b-day month.

Same here. :weep

OMG!!! she seems to had taken drugs before shooting..
she looks in trance!

anyway there's a good point: she hasn't much make up as her latest shootings
but there's anothere bad point: why does she leaves that mouth always open?? she's a fish?

Maybe it's getting harder to come up with newer, fresher ideas for these photoshoots. She's photographed like every other month practically, at one point or the other, it's bound to get a bit stale.

I actually like the pics!

Good lord, this is the absolute worst photo shoot she has done, what has happened to her? I think she has gotten tired of doing photo shoots or something, it's like shes not even trying anymore. Goodness, either they ran out of ideas for her or they hired a lousy photographer/director to make the photo shoot.

Edit: Heck I would rather see repeated ideas than this one..

actually its kinda nice.. its weird but GOOD.. don't worry this shot is not bad.. reminds me of MARC JACOBS, victoria beckhanm photoshot.. dead face weird costume and etc..

I guess everything's already been said about this photo shoot, but I gotta say L O L at this. Perfect first post well done :cool

wow Ayu looks... different?

looks like she sends a replica doll of herself to the photoshoots nowadays..? :eyebrow

I really really like these photoshoots, these are amazing fashion shoots for a fashion magazine,
Not a shoot to showcase the personality of the artist.
As a fashion photograph, this is top quality, showing off both the beauty of the model, and the beauty of the clothes.
Sweets shoots of Ayu has always been in this way
But recently people have been finding more and more things to complain about or find things that are NOT THERE.
Her eye brows are a bit thin, and have been drawn higher than they should be,
But Ayu herself loves clothes and fashion, and would of course want to pose like a natural fashion model for a fashion magazine.

And I have to say, I dont see anything different about her face, just her makeup and aging.

she just want to look younger... maybe?
who knows?
LOL

lol i overreacted to these when they were new
i actually really like the clothes, it's just her face that's really annoying and doesn't look good. that kind of facial expression is so unnatural for her that it looks really awkward. some people make that face 24/7 and don't make it look as bad/weird as this.

ayu is so qt and it needs to show in her photo shoots again! i'm sure she still cares abt her image, if she didn't then she wouldn't be looking so cute and put together outside of photo shoots. she just needs to pick better, more natural facial expressions or tell kazu to stfu if he's encouraging these kinds of expressions :yes

uh... corpse much?

yop. must agree here. Gives me scary feeling sometimes...almost like in the Marionette PV ^_^
