Holy smokes, beauty.

from Twitter:

her 2015 look was the best

now sometimes looks like too much botox? also yeah "new" boobs xD

It looks like her team deleted all the traces of the 'cute' videos and stuff from IG/Twitter before they posted the 'fierce' pic. I guess the team was like "Ayu, what is this?", lol.

^ It's in her Saved Stories under the name.

I really really don't like when she does this hair style. I don't know her forehead seems so big, it isn't a hair style flattering for her (in my opinion). I prefer when she has a bang or when her hair falls more naturally (like here https://scontent-bru2-1.cdninstagram...70563840_n.jpg )

+1 #makeAyuUseBangsAgain

this is certainly not for album cover, it has never leaked out in this manner.

more like for marketing material, could be for goods or phamplet.

Maybe we're finally getting that release of TA Tour 2016 ~Black & White~

(we're not. :cry)

For 20th Anniversary concert pamphlet?

I think Leslie’s work is related to the release of Just The Beginning DVD and this last shoot maybe is related to the new tour (goods and pamphlet). I don’t think it’s related to a new release...

This new picture reminds me of her ads for London Rimmel from 2009! Beautiful!

No, they were not stories. They were posted as videos/images separate from the stories, iirc. A bunch of short videos that people could scroll through. One of them was on Twitter as well.

^ It's still under her saved stories, they're the first set on her Insta.

Those are not the ones that were removed though. She posted stories and she also posted a string of images/videos that were just random baby faces. Only one of the IG ones made it to Twitter though but was removed after she posted this latest pic.

She looks amazing. Mature, tone down :luv2

Ayu looks beautiful with this style. Wig snatcher.

Been a while since she had volume in her hair. Lots of snatched back wigs lately.

I am kinda getting Kana if she had maturity (Namie?) or something from this.

Love the stripper shoes <3

I guess that is true. Ayu does look great, it would just be much better as a natural shot though. She should have left it alone.:yes
It also reminds me of the album cover of 18 by Nana Kitade.

She did it like that 'cause she wanted to use it as her IG/Twitter icon, lol.

too late, it's all over the internet
