arf... that sucks, to be honest =// nagase should be angry with her.

Since nagase is also in the music business, I think that he would be understanding. Plus, there's really nothing to be disgusted about. It's just photoshoot, it's not like anything really happened.

Plus, who cuold be mad at Ayu... hehehe..

Ashley

awww she looks so good! ^_^......those guys are ummm...interesting in a fetish sort of way ^^;

I can't believe that I haven't responded to this post yet!! Well...I don't see anything really wrong about these pics besides the guys (sheesh...lol), but although Ayu seems pretty provacatively here, I don't think she'd actually do that in real life. But as to why she'd agree to that is anyone's guess...sex appeal? promotion of herself? money? all the above? I'm not sure...just that if she continues on this trend, who knows what else she'd be willing to do...

did she really seem that provacative? i think the pix look very nice
and it wouldnt hurt that ayu has a sexy side.....
better than those shy girl w/ long straight black hair...i'm sick w/ those type (no offense and sorry if there's any in here)

I've been thinking...
 

It's only once in a while these kind of pix come up. The magazines would probably want to make ayu do these sort of photoshoots. But ayumi probably doesnt like these pictures. The want her to look like super sexy woman, but we all know ayumi is ... well... she has morals. And the Hanabi thing, well that was just plain stupid. Oh! About my earlier post... what a releif!

huh? sexy doesnt equal no moral

Re: I've been thinking...
 

wat hanabi thing????

Hmm .. Ayu has indeed grown more mature and lady like .. all thez photo shots are juz part of her job .. no matter how the magazine shots turn out .. maybe we shouldnt judge like tatx .. wad we can do is to support her in wadevea way we can .. :D :D

Yes, you're right! :thumbsup

I haven't a problem with those pics either - as long Ayu doesn't appear like Aguilera in her video "dirty".
I really don't like what Aguilera is doing - her whole new image is just too dirty to me. :(

But I think Ayu knows good enough what she is doing.

I'm wondering if she likes those pics. :)

cheers
AyuSwissFan :wave

It may be art, it is definitely sexy, but I wouldn't call it provokative. :D

But I still prefer her look in the vid. "Boys and Girls". :)

I can't believe that Ayu is "forced" to do anything in a photo-shoot she doesn't want to. I mean, she is doing the magazine a favor by agreeing to help do promotions for it, so they really can't force to do anything she doesn't want to. Ayu keeps growing and developing in her own way. No one can deny that she hasn't been displaying a sexier image lately.

Yes, I thought the same.
Maybe she had even a lot fun "doing" those pics. :)

I don't doubt at Ayu or at anything she's doing.
It's her life, it's her decision, and I will always support her.

But you can't be sure that everything she is doing,
also corresponds to that, what she likes to do.
For example the "A best album" thing...

But since then she has grown up a lot (in many different ways)... :)

Yah !! Maybe she did have alot of fun during the photo shooting session !! heehee .. Who knows ? Ayu tends to be sociable at all times .. :angel :angel

Wad about the '' A Best album'' thingy ?? Wad happened ?? :eek :eek

What I heard is, that Ayu not really wanted to do a “best of album” at that point of her career.
Because “best of albums” are often published at the end of a singer-career.
That might be also the reason why she is crying on the cover and at the commercial clips for that album.
But I’m not 100% sure about that.

Oooo ... :( i see .. .thanxs anyway AyuSwissFan ..

wow! i never heard of this but it is true that best of albums indicate a star's ending of career

yeop she didnt really want to released a best
but i guess the tear on the cover's not related to that....

yeah..i felt it was kind of soon to have a best album in my opinion....*shrugs*

neways about gq, maybe ayu just knows sex sells =P, thats just being a smart business woman, and i know ayu wouldnt go too far =)

y ???
interested???
