I wish I could see a bigger and clearer photo to say anything.
though i love the whole photoshoot style and idea

It's not that rude really... look at her face, there is no emotion. It looks like she's just laying there with her mouth hanging open and a blank stare, awkwardly posing on a rock. Lol.

saying that they look like a dead fish is rude, not liking it is different.
Its how they share their feelings is rude,.

I prefer to call it an exhausted mermaid then :P

It may sound rude but it's not too far from the truth imho.
She have to work on doing different facial expressions and smiling a little bit more. Even if the poster beat all PQ covers putted together.

I bet we will see other shoots in TA magazine and they will be more natural and gorgeous than this. As always :laugh.

This is AHS, you should take almost everything with a grain of salt...

You guys don't get art..it's not about facial expression it's about how ayu chooses to express herself. Like do you get mad with an artist that signs the same name with the same style in the corner of his paintings? Art is subjective, it's not a technical thing.

:laugh ahaha

I think what really-really-REALLY makes me feel a bit 'warned' is the amount of photoshop I can already see in that SMALL picture. I mean, if we get the big version/scan I'm already scared of what to see. I bet my eyes will bleed and the eyeballs will self-explode

I hope to see more full-body shots like that picture. :) I intend to like them more than close-up shoots.

oh, so she was going for soulless and empty.

It's the perfect contrast to summer! These covers must have a really deep meaning...

Does not mean there is not room for improvement. Especially when so many of the elements are right and it can be improved by making one small change.

I think the meaning is she's just been shipwrecked but it's bitter sweet because she's washed up on bali but her dogs have died.

does anyone know if Ayumi is re doing her music videos for this new album???
I got an e-mail saying that there were new PV's coming out.

^well, there's at least the one new one.

there will be only one new PV and a-nation's lives.

The only thing what buggers me with that photo is the obviously high amount of Photoshop.. ehh.. Like in LANDs of eden (those are Horrible).. We'll see..

I really like the shipwreck photo.
I just think some people have in mind what they want and when they dont see it, it lets them down.
Sometimes its hard to set apart something that is art and something that you like.

^I really didn't see any criticism except for the expression :shrug

and maybe photoshop from jewel~


Personally, I don't really ever have anything in mind for her except that, as a beautiful person, maybe, just maybe, she can have photos that show off how beautiful she is, instead of how dead she can look?

I guess I should just be used to it by now...but I don't think I ever will be.

Whatever. Not that huge a deal.

Not everything has to be pretty/gorgeous/beautiful. Some things are just meant to be the way they are...

......Guess you're right?
