Gosh, I remember when this CM came out! I must have been in... middle school going into high? Makes me feel so old! :laugh

Back in the day before I was aware of ayu concerts or live tv performances I use to look forward to these! I miss the BOSS CMs!

I love the photos, wants scans so badly! I maybe dislike a little of her duckfaces, but she is very cute IN THAT GOOD WAY! I love her smile, I like the casual cute Ayu (I dislike the DOLL Ayu from back then 2010? with the locks and hats ><)

love the inside pics of the magazine..
they all look so niceee!!

^^ I -lived- for that CM bahaha. I loved it so much!!! Ahh, back in the good ol' days

yayyyy a cute picture! natural smiling ayu = best ayu :D
i'm very interested in what she's going to say about her marriage/divorce.

Who's that pirate guy on her t-shirt ? :roflmao
... with a double-guitar ...?!

Looks like Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin.

I love this photoshoot !
I actually even like the cover (surprisingly), I guess the lips totally match the cute concept. She looks really lovely.

I thought the cover pic was Ai Takahashi!!!!!!!

I'm kinda sure it's Angus Young from AC/DC.

I tried to translate one part of the interview

「The truth is, I hated loneliness but loved it. I had strong feelings of believing in love and eternity since long ago.

That part of 'belief' that I set my heart on is there somewhere though, but I noticed it at last that I didn't believe in myself.

In the end, I am who I was.」


I hope it helps :)

thanks..
ayu is just totally a very unique person!

oh that is exactly how I feel! :thud
Ayu is the only person who can understand my loneliness:love

Love that one!
Surprisingly the cute concept works well with all those preview pics.
Can't wait to see more.

Yup, this.

Wow... I love the lips. Can't wait for scans!!! I'm loving the hair and styling..and expressions. They just focus SO MUCH on the cover pic that they photoshop it and retouch it to "perfection" aka ruins.. haha...

Yep, it's gotta be Angus Young on her shirt.

the cover doesn't look like ayu.....

love those inside pics :luv2 she's so cute and her smile is gorgeous. I'm not a big fan of her lips, but they looks good on this photoshoot.

Wow, definitely a bit of a different look for ayu in here.
I'm feelin it. I guess it's hard to go wrong when you're ayumi hamasaki, lol

Hate her lips and again with those creepy contacts that don't match her at all. Everything else is nice, though :laugh
