Im among the minority who loves all the pictures including the 4th pic :P

I dont care if they are over-photoshoped wadsoever as long as they're pretty and I still can recognize her as Ayumi Hamasaki :D

I love the ones with the hat and the pins!! :heart The others are odd.

I...don't know what to say... I mean, there is something wrong with her face, imo...but I love her hair and outfit :love

I wish that they would go easy on the photoshop, though XD

i think this effect is affecting how she looks a bit. this mixed with photoshop of course. and possibly the scanner (in regards to the extreme brightness). it's normal for one to look different when they tilt their heads up and down. the entire jawline changes in the example I posted.

but i generally like how she's styled ;)

Yeahno. Ayu has tilted her head in all kinds of directions for years and years, but it's only very recently that I've been like, "what the hell happened to her face?" People complain about the 4th pic, and I agree it's like a totally different person, but the 6th pic is just as bad to me. Her nose and chin and eyes are just wacky. It's like her whole face was reconstructed.

its alright, weird face but it can be a lot worse

^ But at least we have video footage her face is the same. ;)

Oh jeez, they overly photoshopped this shoot. :no I love her in the very last one though, she's smiling!

Oh my god, seriously, ayu looks horrible!!! what the hell???? they went too far with the airbrushing, and the things they do to her to make her neck longer and her face features look different are just pathetic. ayu, you give a wrong message to your fans!!!

Ayu looks like Anza Oyama! :P

(This is Anza)

Love the poses and the outfits and the make up and hair but she looks death pale...:no Still I kind of like all this pictures exept for this one:



Apperently I am not the only one here who doesn't enjoy this pic...

Arigatou for the scans ^^

I don't mind it so much. I feel like she already posed for this shoot several years ago, except that it was done better before.

LOVE this photoshoot!
she looks so great in clothes like that ^^

oooh i like!

honestly I can say the outfits are superb and probably that one with english flag skirt outfit should have been on the cover :)

I don't really appeal to the photoshopping done. secondly, I don't like her poses when she looks as if from that up angle or I-don't-know-how-to-call-it angle. I think the angle ruins the photos
also, smth is wrong with the fringe in the skirt photos...don't you think? :)

they are anyways better then we've been getting :)

love Ayu's haircolor, red pants and MJ pin but there's way too much photoshop (esp pic 4)...
Ayu's beautiful face doesn't even need fixing, no more photoshop

oh, loveee the 5th and the last pics(i want the jacket)! those are really cool <333 i like when Ayu dress up like that ^ ^

and the bad thing is, PHOTOSHOP @_@ the 4th pic of cos,wth is that?? it's not even Ayu,i sometimes didnt understand why she love the pic like that,well at least she can tell them that she didnt like the pic and replace it with another shot,so,looks like she likes all the pics even in the 4th pic she looks really chubby and the leg..lol..

Kazu's photoshopper team seems to be made of incompetent interns now >_< It looks like they're actually enlarging, shrinking, and moving some of ayu's features now. Her mouth looks WAY too wide, and her eyes are too far up on her head in the Photo of Uber-Evil in this shoot.

AMATEURS. >_<
