Here's a "higher quality" version of the pic. I just retouched Lizzie's photo to make it look a bit more like a scan. Hope it helps anyone who wants a better version until the scans come out!

Thank you!

I don't see what the fuss is about... :\ I think she looks incredible HOT! :luv2

Cuz we dont picture Ayu this way. This is obviously sexy shoot, and
I cant remember when was last time Ayu did that :) When she was half naked
or naked it was not sexy (imo), this is SEX IN UR FACE but not ****ty at the same time (at least imo)

I love this :love

*O* Yes. HOOOOOOOOT

Is true that is not "our Ayu" but I think she's really hot!

I don't like it... it doesn't fit with Hamasaki Ayumi character...

It's kind of shocking. The same shock I got with Sparkle PV...
This is really vulgar, if I say truthfully.

I do not understand this controversy. Is only a photoshoot. Not that Ayu's gone to get drunk or has set up a scandal. If she did this, is because she wanted to do it.
If the photographer had proposed this and she hadn't wanted, she wouldn't have done. So suffice to say that it's not Ayu's personality.

I'm not saying that you have to like this photo. But I don't understand this too exaggerated reaction

Eeeek <33 She's looks so...amazing!!

I don't think this is trashy at all, this is classy nudity! It would be vulger if it wasn't done tastefully. It's also Ayu, it can't be vulgar, she isn't that kind of person/artist. And seriously, LOVEppears is tackier than this...

Anyway, I'm going to go back to mopping up my nosebleed. <333

Her nude shots were always VERY tasteful and classy. This is just...

I'm done, you can all be blind stans and ignore that she obviously should be above this. I don't care.

lol people overreact so easily, it's like she never did the cover of LOVEppears or something :D love the pic, so beautiful and classy. ayu knows how to be sexy without being trashy. that's what true sexy is to me.

HOT ayu, very hot! :thud:luv2

Wow, why are people freaking out? did Mirrorcle World get this kind of reaction? XD
and she was totally naked on the RAINBOW cover, which seems t be a fan-favorite for most people :rolleyes

How is this not tasteful and classy?

What's so vulgar about it? I don't understand...?!

She looks like a cheap hooker. She's standing there like "tee hee~ my tits are out~~~" It's naked for the sake of being naked and nothing more. It makes me want to scream.

It's like they sat down and said "how can we up Ayu's sales?" "Lets make her a *****!" "Okay!" *photoshoot8

LOL Her facial expression makes this picture really ridiculous.

She's been topless/naked in other pics before.... LOVEppears cover, appears cover (complete with BABY necklace, mind you), RAINBOW cover & scans, in I am... she was just covered in leaves o.o, Mirrorcle World cover, UNITE! cover...

Tell me exactly which part is classy?
Covering yourself with a hat while giving a suggestive expression isn't classy in my book...

Anyways... I still can't get over the shock...
I kind of agree with GRACE in a small way.
This is something other artists would do,
But Ayu has never done nudity like this...

Loveppears was really good, and you didn't see anything,
And Rainbow was very artistic,
And Mirrorcle World made her look like a fairy or elf or something...
But now, this shot is... just like any other nude shot any other artist did.

I think she's above this too but you overreacted and trolled too much this time. If you don't like her anymore get out.

I hope this shoot is just one of those things that happen every now and then and she doesn't sex up her image too much because I know how above this she is. One of the main problems I have is that if Shimoko shot this is that he pressured her into it because he's kind of a weirdo :/

i think its not attractive but i dont mind if she did it or not. nobody is forcing you to buy the magazine or look at the pictures but why are you getting so mad GRACE? she is "above" WHAT exactly? being confident in her own body??? not everything has to have ridiculous deep meanings and stuff. maybe she just felt like being sexy! there's nothing wrong with that and you shouldn't go chatting crap about her.
