its not just a picture. its picture of ayumi the legend hamasaki. so please, dont act like its nothing

lol

I don't even know what Leslie has done to that photo. Why? Does anybody look like that?

Ayu, please, I ask you again - look at these photos (edits, I should say) of you that Leslie is posting on Twitter, then ask yourself this simple question: do I look like I was drawn in using photoshop?

If the answer is yes, send it back to him and tell him to take off all the terrible filtering. Re-post photo with crappy iPhone blur to maintain ideal of flawlessness. I'd rather that in every photo to whatever Leslie is doing.

They edited it crazy and shadows came out that are unflattering and downright ugly.

It's not upsetting to us, stop being ridiculous. We're just stating the truth about how awful it looks.

It's not even about the tan.


If they want to be all "this is what ayu looks like" okay. Fine. Be prepared to hear opinions and sometimes truth from people :shrug


oh and for that iphone blurring we were talking about earlier...

a little blurring goes a long way lol

Both Ryan and Leslie's faces also have a bit of weird shiny dimplewrinkle-action going on so I think they edited it really oddly...

Also Leslie did not set a timer or anything for this shot, it was taken by an assistant or something named Ryo Nakagawa.

Anyway, she just mentioned finishing a godly song it seems?

hoping it's not a spray tan! - we shall see when she posts another twitpic :)

Oh Leslie....what happened to the genius you did with &? T_T

@ emi
lol, its the tan! its horrible! But to be fair, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so someone likes it!
But those two pictures! look at all of the editing! and thats just from a blur?? amazing how lineless she gets!

I miss the old magazine shots, maybe even before LOVEppears era. Her uneven teeth, no hair extensions, no special makeup, no obvious photoshopping, no pseudo-sexy poses. Just the little lost girl that I fell in love with.

I have a file just with "Young Ayu" pictures and everytime I got to see such hideous stuff like now I get back to those pictures :3

^ Maybe you should share that folder? :P I mean, I would love to see an Ayu like that.

Too much photoshop = omg leslie you keep making her look bad omg where's old leslie she looks fake i love seeing her flaws i want old ayu

Not enough photoshop = omg this is the worst picture ever she looks so bad and sickly i wish this and i wish that

Just some observations.

oh my god the difference. :shakehead


anyway, if she's making GODLY music, like literally, all abominable pictures would be forgiven. :luv2

bottomline, they don't know how to use photoshop. someone teach them, ahs :innocent

Lol! It's really ayu's fault for not being perfect enough to take a decent picture in the first place. I mean gosh... why does she have to have flaws. It's so human... Yuck. :grumpy

This one has just as much photoshop as any over photoshopped plastic ayu. Just the wrong kind lol

I don't think we actually ever get any unphotoshopped/unfiltered ayu pics, unless you look at fan photos which we havent gotten for a long time.

that tan is soooooooo bad
it ages her like 15 years... idk the whole thing just looks fake and blah with the blue contacts and bleached hair too. she'd look much better than this just stripped of all makeup and tan and with her natural hair.

"Natural hair"? What do you mean by "natural hair"? We don't see it since... 1996? o.O

i should wait for the final result before judging =))

Any hair color looks good on her except the blonde.. and I'm sorry but that pic is just plain awful, too much photoshop or too little, no matter which but it's still a very unflattering photo.

:laugh oh yeah

Why are people making such a big deal about this picture like it's going to be on the cover of a magazine or an album =___=. It's just a picture...a bad or good picture, but a picture nonetheless, nothing official. Everyone has bad ones...
