AMEN!!!! :lech

Woah! Very nice. However, this super glossy skin effect is a bit strange, haha.

I personally do not recommend using imageshack anymore. Their service has gone down a lot lately... wonder why the thumbnails are all wonky?

Lol ayu is so gorgeous here....the male models are not preferred this time though lol

Such an awkward pose when Ayu with the boys... Just like the previous magazine cover story Ayu and male models, Party Queen. Sheesh...
To much photoshop for the skin. Rather than making a fake summer beach setting, why not took a shoot in the real beach, it could become more natural and beautiful.

at least i see 2 shots i actually really like...

The male models tho....
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c7...KZ71r1wtop.gif



and why can't i open them up in full size? Imageshack, stop f-ing around...

:puke

I guess to make herself look less plastic she surrounded herself with male mannequins lol.

Queen of summer, gays and plastic surgery
t4p

this photoshoot is stunning. It's fresh, warm, colourful. Ayu's smile is so sweet. She's beautiful. The only thing I don't like it's the white background for the two pics with men. It'll be 100Xbetter with a natural or colourful background. Even if it's only colourful wallpaper or marble wall with tropical plants.
This Vivi shoot is better than her last one.

Where did they get these male models? Ewww. The shoot is more the same as the cover and I don't like it. Deji Diary from PV shoot is cute, though.

one of the best if u ask me, its so pretty

I like it and i don't like it at the same time
it would be perfect without these male models and if she looks more natural
thanx for sharing!

Yeah I REALLY want to see that first photo you quoted in full size (I think I got the second to show before). She looks so gorgeous there!

So gorgeous!! It's getting hot in here!! ayu's ass in big scale hahaha.

And ayu wanna share? ONE of the models is handsome (the one that doesn't look old).

I just use the thumbnail image links and delete the ".th" from the link and get the full sized images.

I don't use ImageShack anymore really because there are a few more extra steps to get direct links to everything unless you log in. Their service is a bit shoddy nowadays.

Love how she looks here, especially that last close-up--the models look kinda weird though

Wallpapers of the last two would be great!!

I love the third to last picture :luv2

lol I like only those cute boys, Ayu looks plastic and unnatural.

Leslie Kee is including guys again for this Vivi issue. Ayu looks pretty on the solo pictures!

Yay for Ayu's butt :D Also she looks very pretty in this shoot <3

Other than the male models, this shoot is HOT! :heart (But that's just me, though! :D)

oh gosh, she and Maro together. <3

Too much photo shop on the cover. T_T


Though...
:heart the shoot for the most part!
I love the photo of her up close from the side with her hands around her head.. and the one with the two guys around her.
I like the concept, just wish there was less photoshop, my GOODNESS she is beautiful without the overediting and caked on makeup/tans!!!!

The cover is like odd and so much photoshop everywhere, as always buuuut... I must say it, I like those pics <3

I LOOOOOOOVEEEEEE the shoots...

even her ass doesn't look like is hers

:no this is plain NO

thank you she's so gorgeous!

Dat aaaasssss.

thanks for sharing..
ayu and maro look good together, they look like they are dating.

Thanks!! Queen of Summer :love

Lol the guys do look out of place and kinda cheesy but she is gorgeous and showing her cute smile in EVERY PIC. How long has it been since this has happened? Way too long imo. Good going ayu and Leslie :heart Also loving the styling and pretty colors in this shoot :D Very good eye candy!

Ayu's being very generous right now for giving away talent fees on random noob-looking male models, and they appear on mags with her too! :laugh


And I like the title Queen of Summer :love

she's so skinny!!!! but I like this photoshoot ^.^

^i have to agree. i'm not gonna lie, i don't want skinny ayu. makes me think she has anorexia or sth. oh good lord please no


just her Naked Talk body is perfect. RnRC - Love songs, yes. but ever since PQ she's being skinny even more :(

what...the...hell...?

i can't even begin to fathom the terribleness of this shot. all i saw were ayu's butt and weird looking male models. :no

agreed!

Lol is there even much of a difference? Ayu's just a thin woman. I don't mind.

I wonder where I seen him before..

Lol seriously :laugh.
I can't look at Ayu and how much she's gorgeous in this shoot, without laughing now.

HAHAHAHAH

sup Ken :lech:lech

there is, i think. if not, i would love her frame in MW. I dunno, her limbs seem so... thinner nowadays it's not good for me. :shrug

Pretty shoot, minus the derpy male models. The one with the guy in the chair with the high face. Priceless. He looks like a yuppie.

she's always been thin :shrug She was even thinner in 2002.

She's been showing her body a lot lately, so I guess that's why you think she looks thinner.

This is great lol :laugh...honestly his face really bugged me when I first saw this shoot

Ken shouldn't have to be compared to that lol

I notice she is thinner lately too. She has probably been working out more lately. I wouldn't ever accuse ayu of being anorexic or anything. She keeps pretty active and I remember she mentioned she only eats organic foods a year or so ago which could have contributed to her weight loss too. She looks good right now imo. If she loses more weight I may get concerned though. I think she still looks healthy-skinny right now.

she doesn't look anorexia at alll~~~~~

Those male models are always interesting :laugh
Let's see if the interview has anything interesting to say.

@Kazeyomi: a striking resemblance :laugh

That "Ken" guy has a cute smile to be honest. :laugh I love Ayu's smile too! Thanks for the scans!
Wait... you know what, he reminds me of the voice actor, Vic Mignogna because of his smile.

Ugh that doesn't hardly look like Ayu :(...the only one I liked was the one where she's posing with the two guys.

I really like some of these photos and some not (male models look weird). I love her smile though :)
As people has pointed out, I think also think that she looks too thin. I wish she would eat a little more! :)

Please I just can't :eh::puke

I like this shoot. Ok.. the male models looks strange. But I like, Ayu is smiling a lot.

Thank you!

Thanks for the huge scans! Still not a big fan of sexy style but hey...
Yay for nails! (re-using her LoE sets?)

Life in plastic... It's fantastic! She looks like a different person

I hate the guys, especially the "Manequine with tan" one

But Ayu looks quite good and I love the profile pic :)

Does those two guy really a model? Or just some random western tourist or so? Cause their looks really not convincing, its not like many male models I saw in runway, fashion magazine and campaign.
Love Ayu nails here though, colorful.

This shoot... ugh, really, do we need the guys? But Ayu looks MUCH better on the inside than on the cover. Quite sexy. :)

i loveee these photos. so fond of the summer outfits, hair, accesories n her nails!! pure love ^^ even her smile r really pretty.

I don't know if I like the shoot or no. certainly it won't be included in my favourites lists
I think to some extent, maybe her facial expressions & styling are better than before, a bit

what I don't like - unflattering BOYZ around, they look pretty bad.

also, it is a second ViVi shoot in a row featuring guys, I do not want

I love her close up shoots, the guys though... look awkward :innocent

I wish she would gave up those circle lenses she wore in the last while, she doesn't look like herself with those blue eyes :(

I don't thinks she's very skinny though... believe me, I'm skinny to the point that my ribs are visible and I'm not anorexic, I do eat a lot and do exercise. It's just how her body is made of, she is still healthy as ever.

Cover = atrocious
Inside: ayu = gorgeous

Hideous male models a side.. I think this is quite a nice shoot. The whole tan thing reminds me of INSPIRE era ayu, with that interesting shoot she had with really tan skin and black hair xD
She does look very sexy in these pictures though :)
I love the one where she has her eyes closed :) very serene.

I actually love the shoot, I think it's very summery and pretty. I think it would be perfect if it wasn't for the over-photoshopping and if Ayu's smile didn't seem to forced.

EDIT: LOL omg, I just realised I have the same wicca chair she is sat on in the garden, haha. The condition of mine has sadly deteriorated though. D:

That has just proven to me though how tiny Ayu is, and that's why she is so skinny. I'm not that tall myself or big (I'm about 5"3 and a size UK 10/12 US 8/10) and my whole ass fills that seat, whereas hers only fills half. And that's not about size, that's about frame. She has a tiny frame, hahaha.

Ayu looks amazing, I love what's she's wearing and everything is perfect for summer.

...but those male models. Where DID she find them? A time machine?! They ruin the whole thing.

The derpy one on the chair... I am speechless at how ridiculous he is.

They probably should have just done the shoot without the male models. I think at least last time they actually looked like models...

I usually like all the things Ayu does, but, I really don't like this photo session... :/

The last picture (profile pic) is just absolutely stunning. The others are nice too but I'm also not a fan of the male models.

In this case, it's not Ayu but the photographer that's to blame. The photographer sends out a casting call and selects the models for the shoot. In any case would you like to join me and have a nice chat with the photographer about the model selection :mischief?

I think AHS just needs to get together and write the photographer an open letter about the model choice. :thud

Even though the photographer finds them, I do have a hard time believing Ayu would go ahead with something she disliked. She can still have part of the blame for letting this happen with her in it. :p

She looks so gorgeous, why does it have to be this shoot they ruin with these models? ;_;

I'm sure we'll get some edited-out images soon, haha.

I don't really like the guys either lol

And some of the angles are REALLY REALLY bad.

But, styling is pretty, and she's pretty in the majority. So, nice :)

.... Did they just looked around in Tokyo and grabbed any white guy they could see? Lol

What's wrong with those male models? Yes, they're not hot but they're at least cute :laugh It's Ayu who is neither cute nor hot there :no

All shot by Leslie Kee, but the difference is just O_O

The only difference is that he used now cute boys, but oh my, the previous ones are really hot :D

Ever since Leslie and Ryan started working with Ayu again ...she have become too shameless lately, and this style doesn't suit her at all...it seems like she's too forced or something. :shrug

Hey it's light years ahead of that atrocious shoot with the ugly men she did before Party Queen's release. Even she was ugly in that one.

I think ayu has some gorgeous shots here. And the models just look either awkward or creepy, one on the floor is almost cute but still awkward lol

It's funny you think they're cute there and ayu is not. I wouldn't be surprised if we both view a lot of her shoots differently lol. :P

leslie kee shot these?

honestly, she needs to move on. he's made some amazing work, but more and more i think he's pretty terrible. :(

^ Yea, Agreed. Leslie's "talent" seems to be ruining a natural beauty with wrong usage of PS and unflattering camera ankles

The more I see, the more it doesn't look like Ayu!!

i think being a HQ photographer he's like overdoing it now. I think he's forgetting one thing LESS IS MORE. And yeah she needs to take a break from him and he needs to take a break from her....weird how you'd think he should know her best angles really well after working with her for so many times, but he's failing incredibly latelly. They should have stopped with FIVE.:no

The pictures are what Ayu want them to be (or the concept the magazine is using), the final result of her photoshots has less to do with the photographers talent and more to do with the employer...

The only awkward person out there is plastic Ayu who looks like a creepy gyaru who is forced to smile :P And her body looks overphotoshopped :P Hahaha I guess we would ;)

Yeah haha. I don't think the models look cute at all lol.. and cuter than ayu is really pushing it. I almost find that offensive lol. Ayu is a cutie here.

Lol what makes me crazy here?

I personally just find the male models unnecessary.

They make the photos a bit edgy though.
Since these are the shots they chose :yes

and photoshopped themselves probably.

it makes me so sad seeing the older magazines she looked so gorgeous and
natural but now that they discovered new filters and effects on ps they have
gotten downhill

OMG so gorgeous, love this photoshot

Translation previews!! :D

^ Thanks Misa for the translation! ♥

Surprisingly, I really do like it. It's not a flawless photoshoot, but ain't a disaster either. I get my BLUE BIRD feeling again (perhaps Ayu should use more pillows in her summersingles haha) and that's why I am happy. Thank you for sharing.

thanks misa!


but, is ayu doubting herself? her ability to traverse her feelings to the audience? Ayu, you're being looked up to by so many, everyone is below you, so please, don't feel so low. Just be yourself and sing.

i just feel sad. :shrug :(

@aderianu : I just have to say that, Aderianu, you really made it better. Even if it means that you're photoshopping it even more..
But she looks more natural in your version.. Idk.. That's just how I see it
