yes I'm happy she doesn't look like this in real life =D But I take them for what they are and they are very beautiful ^^ I love her shoes !

Thanks for the translation.

quite frankly, this shoot is awful. the angles are awful, the face is awful, and im not too crazy about those clothes either. shes had much better shoots than this.

The coat she's wearing on the cover - I WANT IT.

It really seems like someone is doing everything they can to put emphasis on making her eyes look HUGE (I noticed this in the BALLAD PV as well), and I think that is contributing to Ayu not looking like herself in some of these shots.

Maybe they should do a video ala Dove's Evolution video (the one where they showed the process of a photoshoot from the makeup to the photoshopping to illustrate misconceptions relating to beauty) and use Ayu. :P Actually, the more I think about it, the more interesting it seems like it would be.

How horrible! o.O
The clothes, her face...everything is wrong here.

scary shoot, im not saving any of these pics :tired

I'm sorry but these are some of the worst pictures I've ever seen. I don't recognize her.

she rocks!!

I like the clothes. That's enough for me. Ayu is really just a mannequin in most of her magazines shoots, anyway.


It's more like her shoddy attempts at humor were greeted by the sound of crickets. "Oh, I'm too cool to take Ayu seriously, you are all unironic crybabies." God, I hate hipsters.

Well we seen the fourth face before. Vivi with the green eye liner anyone?

I love that pic! it's my favorite pic so far this year~ ^^

i like the clothes but she seriously doesn't look like herself in some shoots.... O_O

she look slim and tall

The earrings are a nice touch.
