I love this picture, who cares what people say really :shrug

How much I wish that pic would be the cover for her Summer Best album. ;_;

Ayu you need to do some tv lives to promote this release. SERIOUSLY.


ok OT, but hey whats up with her now,TA is updated by her staffs most of the time >.<

^ +1
Ayu we want some promotion ^^

This! We finally get an epic promo picture and people are still *****ing about it... Whatever, I love this picture and I love her expression. She doesn't have to look 100% perfect (though she looks like that anyway) in every single picture.

I cannot wait for High-res picture.

Personally i think she looks fine.

seeing by the big preview, she's absolutely gorgeous. And her face looks not so heavily photoshopped, thank god. I just don't like the expression :shrug I'd rather preferred a smiling face. But whatever, it's just me.
Seriously, it doesn't mean people have to like everything she does. Also I think people overreacting too much about this damn dead fish :laugh. She's looking like a dead mermaid :heart (lol jk).

Now I'm looking forward the covers though.

Doesn't Ayu's name mean fish, beach and beautiful if you break it up ayu-mi hama-saki? The poster really represents her!!

or maybe the whole point of the photo is that she's a dead body washed ashore, lol, kinda creepy :laugh

omg i love u LOL

wow really?! thats super cool!!
and yea i loved if she smiled too...like the swimsuit shot she had a few years ago with vivi deji? that was perfect

-mi added to a name means "beautiful" used with girl names

Beautiful fish washed up on the seashore!

That really makes sense!

that just made the poster ULTRA special :)
thanks for the explanation!

ayu- sweetfish
mi- beautiful (as said before)
hama- beach (as said before)
saki- something like a cape along the beach or something. related to hama i believe.

Whoa, that poster really does represent Ayu! Although I'm not fond of fish (read: phobia) I'm gonna let it slide with Ayu :P

...her nails are absolutely terrifying in the poster.

More like a piranha than a mermaid. Even if piranha's are a bit glittery.

the level of photoshop is dupa-maximum, the face & the picture are completely unpretty.

You know you are among photography experts when people start discussing details of a low quality photo of the photo...

LOL HIGHFIVE :love

Lol. I love all the insights of the picture...
sometimes I think we put way more thought into it then she does.
