I think yess!!!

Omg look at her hair in the pic! loooooved it!

Yup!!

Ayu and the baby looks so cute!!

She does look super young on that closeup picture.

I would say that whole song becoming suddenly slow and sad, all lights turned off except the one on her and she singing "I am a lonely queen" in a sad tone was extremely obvious.
And I personally think the whole "hotel" idea of that tour was pretty well done and quite easy to get as well...

That selfie from yesterday looks so...unlike her. wow.

which one of the Covers?

come to think.of it, why was the book cancelled?

"interesting photoshoot" and the outtake looks nothing along the lines, i mean plain background, a cube and elegantly dressed Ayu. *blinks* That's what i call simple and nice, rather than interesting, unless there's a twist that we will actually see.

She looks gorgeous here.

Huh I think there was a Lifestyle book released though? or is the one I remember something else..?

I didn't even know the Party Queen covers were supposed to be a shooting for the lifestyle book only..I simply thought they wanted to promote the book and album with revealing a picture in the VIVI amagzine..

^ She did release a book called "LIFE STYLE BOOK" in 2014, but it's a different shoot.

I don't know why people freak out so much that she took the Party Queen pictures from the photobook's shoot for the covers, the book was originally scheduled to be released together with the album, so it makes sense they had the same theme at some extent. I don't see why it's so important that she makes entirely different shoots if she likes the pictures and wants to use them for more than one thing...

I like the Lifestyle book the way it is tbh though..
I don't know if it would be the same if we had all these other pictures in it with her lying down with her collection of shoes and such.
Not saying I don't like the shoot they did( that was then used for Party Queen), but now we have only a few proper "shoots" and the rest is really showing her collections of all her things and that's how the Lifestyle book is supposed to be.At least I think that.

What is with this one photobook though, the one only a few rare and lucky people could get ( I don't know if it was called SUPER AYU as well?) I think there are also pictures of the Party Queen shoot in it. I wish we could get photos of the books pages, just so we know what is in it.

^This? I really disliked this photoshoot... not my taste at all... although this is gorgeous:



Rest of the photoshoot in the blue dress, with the "catwoman" and the "chain mustache"... :shakehead:shakehead:shakehead:shakehead

^ but that was inspiring and "interesting photoshoot" =)

That Harper's bazaar photoshoot was amazing :heart

Probably another naked photoshoot.

^ maybe not nakes but lingerie? wasn't there this lingerie brand where she was supposed to attend a store opening for but in the end couldn't go?

But I'm interested to see what the photoshoot is about. I hope it's not black&white though

not another lingerie shot.... plus she was just scheduled to attend the event, there was no talk of her getting involved with them? I really hope not. We've had enough of those. I need more of Harper's Bazzar and COLOURS booklet stuff. This mature, grown up, gorgeous woman in haute-couture. I like her "girl next door" stuff, that AYU photobook was gorgeous, but we've had wayyyyyy too many of those. They are very pretty to look at, but I wanna be inspired by those pics! Every magazine she's in she's in that "pretty girl" image, and we don't get many magazines nowadays. IF ANY at all. I'd love if she did some seriously editorial stuff.

I have a feeling she will ask him to design look for her CDL coz Alvin said he will be flying to Japan a lot for the rest of the year

"Recently I always fall asleep when I'm traveling... Haha
I'd like to do some work when I'm traveling too, but when I notice I've fallen asleep... I wonder if I'm going to get taller? Haha"

^ she looks kind of tan or is it just lighting?

^
I think it's because of the lighting, shes in Tokyo and it's winter so no tan excuse I guess xD

shes as focus as always in this pic and I think the tightly tight at the back hairr style made her look a bit older sometimes xD

^
^ I think it's lighting. Seems it was pretty dark in the room

http://i.imgur.com/cHvr9qrl.jpg

She looks like an Asian version of Kim Kardashian in that off-shot.
I can't wait to see teaser pictures from Winter Diary pv shooting.

Asian Kim Kardashian's past appearances include: Zutto... PV.

i was thinking same!! she's just like Kim in frozen scenes

Don't compare a queen to a talentless peasant

I don't think she looks like Kim at all, but it doesn't bother me since I love Kim and they're both gorgeous. :)

I'm with you!

it doesn't make any harm for ayu to compare her look to someone, it'd be totally different story if we were like OMG SHE SOUNDS LIKE KIM

i'm not Kim's biggest fan but even i'll have to admit that she is smokin hot

twitter: "Morning^ ^ I'm off to Taiwan now!
Wish me luck that it will be a good piece of work ♡"
http://i.imgur.com/bCKrYmbl.jpg

I know! I thought it was weird that people liked the PV and song to GREEN, but hey different strokes and all.

Shu-ya
http://i.imgur.com/l7JRGYJl.jpg

^ That one is better than the first one with Ayu
He looks really old on the first one and here he looks okay again..
maybe it's the sunglasses/glasses

Whats up with people saying Shu-ya looks old? He looks like a fine 36 years old to me...

weibo: "Delicious lunch at Din Tai Fung! Now shooting!"
http://i.imgur.com/tGLFCBC.jpg

Yum!! Shuya looks old cause his going all natural. :roflmao

Talking about Ding Tai Feng, me and my husband decided to walk away to another dimsum restaurant due to the waiting time was more than an hour when we were in Taipei couple years ago @.@

weibo: "Today is a new day"
at twitter she wrote that her team working hard in Tokyo while she with shu-ya make this shooting

i love those buns to death

Lol Casino du Minuit is back :D
I like her outfit! The buns are so cute

Let me know when a peasant's net worth is upward of $80 million ;) kthx.

I'm excited to see Winter Diary PV! I don't mind it being on the next single/album release DVD/blu ray but NOT on the CD itself. No reason for it! Let it be exclusive like RAINBOW, ever free, Life, etc.

Shuya with handgun? Hopefully not another Virgin Road alike robbing casino scene :tired

ayu's face looks extremely small, so cute!! shuya again looks very handsome.

http://i.imgur.com/dD3Shxsl.jpg

lmao, i'm with you right there

Yeah! I'm sure we're not alone xD
This excites me a bit, though. Alvin is great so I hope the costumes look nice and not cheap.

I'm almost ashamed to say this but her purple and black outfit with the cute buns in her hair...reminds me soooo much of a Miley Cyrus look....


But, besides that...I LOVE that outfit on Ayu.

Still hoping she would model for Goh in his underwear designs.

Ayu now have her own instagram account (official)

Oh magazine shoot? It's been ages not seeing her grace any magazine editorial.

Finally the Alvin Goh lingery shoot?! Damn she looks hot!

My guess is also shooting for la Perla.

she tagged La Perla on those pics

I was right with the lingerie shoot!
but from the pic with Alvin Goh it was kind of predictable anyway.
So happy to see a new photoshoot.

she looks smookin' hot.

I hope she replaces Liu Wen and these pictures will represents La Perla Asia

Ayu is more of a classic sexy than lingerie sexy to me, that's more Kumi's department.

Did she realised that lingerie almost not visible because of chair and her hands? )
