Is A Best 3 confirmed?

No.

Wow she looks great. I wonder how the Shimoko shoots will turn out though...

A Japanese fan shared a pic of her in a white dress after that makeup and he and another fan were talking about her huge her tits look. One of them was like “Clearly her tits are doing an ‘evolution’” and the other was like “the cutely shaped ones are ‘Far away’” lolol

Lately her boobs have been bigger but that's partially 'cause she's eating more I think. "Back then" she used to like starve herself so no boobs.

I didn't recognize her at all. I thought she was a random Asian girl who like to dress like princess or so.

Yesss Shimoko has always provided pretty iconic shots. Positive or negative... lol.
I love how he photographs faces. And his photoshop team is better xD

He definitely has a flair for dramatics. And tbh I don't care about fish face so... lol

I can't believe Shimoko is back!!!! Yay <3 What was the last time she did something with him? A BEST Tour goodies and CD cover? High hopes for that! He did the A BEST 2 cover so maybe they're recreating the black & white theme? Or maybe goodies for the new tour! OMG can't wait!!

Just to remind some of the works he did with Ayu:

Talkin' 2 Myself (Covers)
Mirrorcle World (Covers and Video Clip)
Ayu-mi-x 6 -Gold- & -Silver- (Covers)
Days / GREEN (Covers)
GREEN (Video Clip)
A Complete -All Singles- (Covers)
Rule / Sparkle (Covers)
Sparkle (Video Clip)
Sunrise / Sunset ~Love Is All~ (Covers) LOL his only mistake on the list tho
You Were... / Ballad (Covers)
Lady Dynamite (Video Clip)
Countdown Live 2009-2010 A ~Future Classics~ (DVD Cover)
15th Anniversary Tour ~A Best Live~ (Goodies + CD Cover)

For me these are some of her best covers/music videos!

She looks SO cute on those videos, hard to believe she's almost 40 :luv2

I love practically everything that's been done by Kazuyoshi Shimomura.

SPARKLE was a classic. GREEN was amazing. Mirrorcle World is iconic.


He's a genius. Can't wait. He always brings the "Super Diva Ayu" out of her.

Sometimes her head looks like a lollipop when his team retouches her.

I don’t like his retouching OR his style. I remember that many weren’t fans of it back in the day, and I don’t understand what changed their minds.

^ but.... you joined us two years ago... have you been spying on us? haha

His work is certainly memorable that it even caused eneabba not to continue anymore. There are three a four covers I am not fond off, but I am certainly hopeful and exciting to see how the photographs turn out.

I sorta expect an A COMPLETE 2... but hey

Long time lurker 😛

Im hopeful too, but I’m also weary due to his magazine shoots and some of his covers. I shouldn’t be too pessimistic if whatever this shoot is hasn’t come out yet, though 😌

Can't say I'm happy he is back haha! :/

Only liked A BEST 2 inside photos, You Were... / Ballad and fairyland (which is one of her most beautiful single cover IMO.. Can't believe it!).
And I'm really not digging this whole "princess" outfit/look... Looks kinda cheap.

Prefer the casual/Timberland outfit <3 haha!

The first princess dress with tiara is a huge nope from me. But the black dress looked pretty cool and fashionable!

I like the future classic shot, seems like it wouldn't happen. Too bad.

I'm so dead right now, she looks so fierce and beautiful, hope next album cover is something like this!

“I’m so dead right now” LOL.

God I’ve missed that eye makeup so much! Amazing.

The queen is comin’ for ya.

she looks fierce!
