Does those two guy really a model? Or just some random western tourist or so? Cause their looks really not convincing, its not like many male models I saw in runway, fashion magazine and campaign.
Love Ayu nails here though, colorful.

This shoot... ugh, really, do we need the guys? But Ayu looks MUCH better on the inside than on the cover. Quite sexy. :)

i loveee these photos. so fond of the summer outfits, hair, accesories n her nails!! pure love ^^ even her smile r really pretty.

I don't know if I like the shoot or no. certainly it won't be included in my favourites lists
I think to some extent, maybe her facial expressions & styling are better than before, a bit

what I don't like - unflattering BOYZ around, they look pretty bad.

also, it is a second ViVi shoot in a row featuring guys, I do not want

I love her close up shoots, the guys though... look awkward :innocent

I wish she would gave up those circle lenses she wore in the last while, she doesn't look like herself with those blue eyes :(

I don't thinks she's very skinny though... believe me, I'm skinny to the point that my ribs are visible and I'm not anorexic, I do eat a lot and do exercise. It's just how her body is made of, she is still healthy as ever.

Cover = atrocious
Inside: ayu = gorgeous

Hideous male models a side.. I think this is quite a nice shoot. The whole tan thing reminds me of INSPIRE era ayu, with that interesting shoot she had with really tan skin and black hair xD
She does look very sexy in these pictures though :)
I love the one where she has her eyes closed :) very serene.

I actually love the shoot, I think it's very summery and pretty. I think it would be perfect if it wasn't for the over-photoshopping and if Ayu's smile didn't seem to forced.

EDIT: LOL omg, I just realised I have the same wicca chair she is sat on in the garden, haha. The condition of mine has sadly deteriorated though. D:

That has just proven to me though how tiny Ayu is, and that's why she is so skinny. I'm not that tall myself or big (I'm about 5"3 and a size UK 10/12 US 8/10) and my whole ass fills that seat, whereas hers only fills half. And that's not about size, that's about frame. She has a tiny frame, hahaha.

Ayu looks amazing, I love what's she's wearing and everything is perfect for summer.

...but those male models. Where DID she find them? A time machine?! They ruin the whole thing.

The derpy one on the chair... I am speechless at how ridiculous he is.

They probably should have just done the shoot without the male models. I think at least last time they actually looked like models...

I usually like all the things Ayu does, but, I really don't like this photo session... :/

The last picture (profile pic) is just absolutely stunning. The others are nice too but I'm also not a fan of the male models.

In this case, it's not Ayu but the photographer that's to blame. The photographer sends out a casting call and selects the models for the shoot. In any case would you like to join me and have a nice chat with the photographer about the model selection :mischief?

I think AHS just needs to get together and write the photographer an open letter about the model choice. :thud

Even though the photographer finds them, I do have a hard time believing Ayu would go ahead with something she disliked. She can still have part of the blame for letting this happen with her in it. :p

She looks so gorgeous, why does it have to be this shoot they ruin with these models? ;_;

I'm sure we'll get some edited-out images soon, haha.

I don't really like the guys either lol

And some of the angles are REALLY REALLY bad.

But, styling is pretty, and she's pretty in the majority. So, nice :)

.... Did they just looked around in Tokyo and grabbed any white guy they could see? Lol

What's wrong with those male models? Yes, they're not hot but they're at least cute :laugh It's Ayu who is neither cute nor hot there :no

All shot by Leslie Kee, but the difference is just O_O

The only difference is that he used now cute boys, but oh my, the previous ones are really hot :D

Ever since Leslie and Ryan started working with Ayu again ...she have become too shameless lately, and this style doesn't suit her at all...it seems like she's too forced or something. :shrug
