^ i think its the booklet for (miss) understood? is it??? XD

Yes! It is!

:o

Leslie Kee probably will do the rest of Ayu's covers <3 xD

The (miss)understood booklet. Hmm... If The startin' cover was shot by leslie kee... Hmm... I have the speculation that Leslie was reserved by Koda Kumi when ayu preparing her (miss)understood album. Is that so?

The photographer of On My Way and Off My Day calls himself ND Chow (Angle).

I haven't checked the actual booklet, so I don't know about it.

Well, let's hope so at least. :)

Makes sense really. XDD Ayu needs to get some hot photoshoots soon. ;D Pity that she used such terrible photos for (miss)understood and gave hot ones like the red balloon photoshoot to cruddy magazines. D<

Anyway, I also thought Leslie Kee was a woman. XDDDD

If it is, evils!

It would've been better if he did it, I like him a lot better.

I love the Off My Day and On My Way booklets even though they werent shot by Leslie Kee. I have no clue who shot the actual cover of the album, the DVD version is nice but the CD version is not in my taste.

Leslie Kee is a man, for those who were unsure.

(miss)understood was supposed to look amature. That is why she asked her assistant (who is NOT a photographer, btw) follow her around and take pictures. It was supposed to be a "Ayu is on vacation" type thing. In my opinion I think they should've done this for the MY STORY album since MY STORY was "Ayu's Diary"

And the book that everyone is talking about...is Leslie Kee's Celebrity book? He was doing a book of famous Asian celebrities. Ayu was asked to be in it, but she declined because of schedule problems:

^ Thanks for the explanation on the book.

Does anyone know who shot the actual cover of (miss)understood?

EDIT:
I opened my copy to look.
Cover Photographer: Mitsuo 'Hime' Yamamoto
Booklet Photographer: Mika 'Mikajohn' Noguchi
Assistant Photographer: Teppei Nezu

On My Way/Off My Day Photographer: ND CHOW (Angle)
Assistant Photographer: Takuo Arai


I'm deeply in love with the pictures in On My Way/Off My Day.

I just hope for he next album will be shoot by leslie kee. Let (miss)understood be the last for not-so-good cover of ayu... =)

I looked in my AT2k6 Pamphlet yesterday, right before going to bed, the 'normal' pictures in it was shot by ND CHOW (Angle). Has he ever done any work for Ayumi before, or has he started appearing as her photographer recently?

The shots from AT2k5 that is featured in the Phamplet is shot by Leslie Kee.

He did on my way/off my day :x

:D

^Yeah, I mentioned that in my post a little above ^^;

What? Not really... he's REALLY talented but he doesn't do lots of works out of Asia, I guess... oh well, it's a shame, but I don't think we know lots of celeb-photographers besides him (because he works with Jpop artists) to compare, really. But maybe I'm wrong and you know lots about photography, who knows, it's possible :x.

Anyway, I hope he does her next album cover...

It wasn't her assistant, it was her best friend, Mika Noguchi (Ayu call her John). Mika Noguchi isn't Ayu assistant (or mother, lol), she's the CEO of Peach John (it's like Victoria's Secret) and one of the most powerful womans in Japan. She was on the cover of Times magazine, too...
