This was the first picture, that when I saw it (quite some time ago) I did not recognize her, I do now though,

I haven't seen that before, maybe the only one with a cowboy hat that I like =)

I think that the style is so very un-Ayu-like, that is probably why my brain refused to see it was her when I saw it. Here's more from the same photoshoot:

^ Didn't she wear that in the Dearest pv?

Hmm.. I could imagine those clothes on Jessica Simpson.. That is quite un-Ayu.

But still, she looks awesome, as always :yes

I'm saving these too^^

I don't know, I don't think I've seen it :/.

Think so =]

EDIT: Not exactly the same, but both are very similar.

I checked and yep, she did.

Oh, norrel was faster.

I love Dearest PV

omg that smile is wretched! Why did she let something like that get sold to millions of people @____@

If only it had sold over a million copies... :(. You know, it was the first Ayu album to not sell over a million.

^ Didn't A BALLADS take forever to sell over a million?

Yes, but I don't think we ever had any real confirmation it finally did? Or maybe we did. It had a REALLY weird chart-life I think if I remember correctly, or maybe that was A BEST... unsure. I think the word-of-mouth is that it did sell over a million in the end. (miss)understood won't, it's still got 135k copies to go, start counting the years it'd take... sadly.

When I first saw it I was like...I wonder if anyone thinks it is as bad as I do...

Makes me sad that it could've easily sold more given a few tasteful changes.

the Ayu Mi-x II JPN Ver. she looks really weird there. and i think (miss) understood didnt sell 1 million copies because cds dont sell like they used to. now, a lot of poeple just download it and treat it like they bought it. also, they couldve changed a lot...the cover was disgusting, the booklet was boring, and it was just a couple pictures before and after filming the PVs for the album...the only thing that had good taste was the music, PVs, and the new A symbol

lol @ the last picture.
hahah. oy, she's soo cute.
