Cute pic.

Question:

Didn't we all know that she would put photos from that 'set' somewhere in the calendar? LOL I mean we did get a sneak peek at every single 'shoot' done for the calendar..

Those curles are a bit... strange. They don't look much like the curlers I usually see. They're more... sea shellish.

^ I know. That's very true. o_o

Or are they mini hair scrunchies?

I think they might be minicurling-scrunchies. LOL

Japan has tons of things that look.. awkward.

Oh and the date is 'confirmed' to have changed from 11/4 to 11/25 ;D
２００６年１１月４日⇒１１月２５日発売予定

Oh not bad, I like the timing. : D

Do the commoners/non-fans/regular Japanese/people who need calendars buy these kinds of expensive official calendars?

I imagine that people who need calendars go to a store and just get something relating to whatever they like.. the Japanese are willing to spend a lot on goods like this.. I mean a 2400yen calendar.. D:

If I were in Japan, I'd have like anime calendars and Ayu calendars.. <3 <3
And maybe some cheapo desk calendars.

Well, it should've been expected that any one of the photos from Sweet were to be used as a cover..

I think that they didn't want to use it in the calendar itself, so they sort of just stuck it in the cover LOL~ :p

Artistically, it's an awesome shot so maybe they did want it to draw in buyers. It's a very commercial photo. Like Ayu's going "OMG NO DON'T BUY ME! XDDDD" which of course will make people intrigued and buy.

I wonder if the people who fork out THAT much for a calendar will actually use it, hang it on the wall, and cross out dates and stuff with a marker/pen/un-eraseable equipment.

I would. o__o

I would. It's a calendar.

Then again, I might use Post-Its/sticky notes. LOL Can't write on Ayu's precious face! :p

I do think that the cover was chosen to 'lure' buyers in.. since it's a very inviting look that she has on her face.. :)

Like "I'm having so much fun! Would you like to see? ;B"

Or maybe...it's just a nahnahnahnah~ see this?? just a taster XP cover??? XD

Me too. :P Or I'd use artliners that can be wiped off later.

I imagine that this will be one of her best calendars inner-content-wise in a long time ;D

Last time she had pictures that a lot of people were satisfied with was like 2002.. :p And many people don't even know wtf is in that calendar :yes

or laminate it so ...can wipe of with meths? XD

^ Yep, great idea.

it'll be all water proof too <3

omg that's perfect hahaha props to you TH
seems like she's always like that in the vivi dejideji diaries
*I'm having such an awesome time omg just watching me makes you feel happy too!* (which is kinda (sadly?) true) sigh, the power of Ayu...

Well, it's different...that's for sure. :meditate Hopefully the inside pics will be not as freaky. xD
