All credits goes to taylayu @ AYUNITE!

She is amazingly stunning in the car and in that pink dress <333 And in that HAT.
I love that she has her dogs in like, EVERYTHING.


SHE CAN HOLD. SO. MANY. DRESSES. OMG.

The guy in the Dejideji = ND CHOW. Not Tomoya.

So so far, ND CHOW pwns Leslie Kee in looks.. :p

I was wondering, too... ND CHOW is cool. The first picture is HILARIOUS.

edit,
last two scans was just uploaded and added.

Remember~! December issue = an interview! About the album probably <3

Thanks for the scans - lovely pics :)

omg
thanks a lot

Look at her NAILS.

Oh my gaw, there are probably diamonds on there. :B

I am pretty sure its crystals... swarovski crystals ;).

Oh god, swarovski. So expensive x.x

The dress she's wearing in the cover..
Or coat or w/e..

280000yen x.x

Such a showoff she is, lol.

Swarovski is expensive, less over priced than diamonds though.

Whoa...the scans are so so nice!..that pink dress...my gosh

OH GOD.

DAY O did location coordination again >[ Grr..
It's those.. PEOPLE. (/cough (m)u booklet)

I failed on creating this thread, it should be vol.75.

Please edit the thread title whoever sees this.

You should PM a staff person instead~ :p

You so should've just put ViVi Dec 2006 :p

Whatever, lol. I wonder where the heck I got vol.74 from anyway...

I pretty much like the 'day o did' way of doing it.

GOSH! perfect! She is cooo cute.
Thanks for sharing

so pretty... i love her hair

tenshi no hane over at AYUNITE got sharp eyes, he noticed a bit of a similarity with the Kohaku dress she wore once, back in 2001 :D.

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6...restuv8vy1.jpg

It is Most likely the same one.

Tenshi no hane also resides here! :)

Amazing! Thanks for the scans! They're like WAY FANTASTIC!

Wow!
She's stunning!
I like these pictures a lot!
She is so cute.

WAY FANTASTIC needs to be a new Ayu song, NOW.

I love the pinku dress and when she's in the car!

thanks

I'm more like... that's an awemazing album title. lol.

lol
i see
only the staff and admin can edit the title here, right?
so weird:innocent

No.. it's too out there.

People'd be all:
"Wtf, get out of here Ami Suzuki!"

More like forum protocol ~

Those pictures are AWESOME:thudMan, she looks so stylish driving that lambo lol D:

thx for the scans!

nice pics, she has the same style back in 2000 - cool!

but obviously, there is so much preparation under those pics.. although they seem to be casual...

thank you for posting!

pmg she's so stunning at these magazine pictures!!! i want this issue

SUPER BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUST GET IT!!

These are really fabulous pictures, the car pics are my favorite. Good for Ayu taking a nice vacation this year, it was about time.

Wow, very gorgeous as usual. Thanks.

Nice pictures, she looks really stylish and beautiful. Thanks!

thanks alot :D

thanks so much for the scans!!

I've gone gay for Ayu :X

Thanks for the scans :yes

Ayu is very pretty and stylish. And as people mentioned before, she seems to be reverting to her 2000 era fashion. She still goods good btw :yes

I wonder if some of these pictures will appear in the new album booklet? Last year it was Ayu in New York, and now this year....Ayu in California? :shrug

If that's the case, at least, this time, it was ND CHOW taking them, so they'll have quality.

Has ND CHOW shot for Ayu before?

Thanks for providing these new pics! I've been eagerly waiting to see some new mag scans. What's up with this hair circa 2000?? She needs to go back to dark hair. :mischief

I agree, the darker hair was gorgeous ... like in your set :3~

Ayu + Blonde hair = good stuff

Even though Ayu looks better with darker hair, something about that blonde hair makes me all sentimental

In a way... me too, considering evolution was the first song I ever listened to.

Rainbow, Surreal :heart

Now I'm getting all Ayu emo

thanks for the scans!!
she looks beautiful! Like a doll.
I'm facinated how easily she changes so drastically!:luv2
I agree with everyone, it does remind me of SURREAL/AUDIENCE era :yes

Would you stop posting in this thread TH? We get it. You're obssesed.

e_e

I personally thinks she looks like an alien. Worse than ever. That dress is cute, but she looks like garbage in these pictures.

Ahhh, refreshing.

Nice to have the view of someone who's not a hardcore fan. I personally think most of the pictures are gorgeous, but compared to most of her other magazine shoots those are pretty... boring, well, actually they are pretty exciting but she doesn't look all too good in all of them.

Wow such glamorous scans.

It's mentioned in the scans that info about the new album will be in the next Vivi issue~!

thanks for the pics!

Thanks for the scans! I love these, she's so cute!

Cool. The next one will be released about a week before the album release.

Look at the 'special RING' she wears
hahahh

I love her 'shopping' style
so casual
and yeah...she spent her money A LOT outside Japan

If you notice...she wear a heart shape diamond pendant

I think ayu really obssesed with 'heart shape' stuffs
that ring she wears also in heart shape combined altogether

she's such a feminime heart shape lover lady
hahaha

That cover is one of her best in a long time! It looks like it's straight out of the Duty era!

Her hair. Is amazing.

I think it's minutely outstudied in it's least detail, everything but casual =P.

Sharp eye there :).

I wonder if it's things Tomoya gave her or if she was told to wear them for the photoshoot. I lean towards believing the latter.

She looks nice in the scans. and she totally looks like she's having fun. whee! Her hair looks a lot better in the scans than it did at MS. Perhaps it's because it's longer..... I think she should like thin up those bangs that would make her and her hair look a lot better.

Yeah, that would help a lot. She definitely looks doll-like in these pictures with this hair and makeup. "Doll" is the first word that came to mind when I saw these. But the thick, plastered down bangs made her head look too wide. (Sorry, Ayu. Still love ya.)

I wonder what the people in the cars were thinking when they see an asian girl in an oversized pink dress walking the streets of LA.

I thought about that, too. But I wonder if the people can even tell if she's Asian with her blond hair?

I LOVEEE 2000 AYU! and the pink dress is from kouhaku 2001 right?

Thanks for the scans!

Isnt that the same place BoA had a scene from Key of Heart ^^

Love that crazy pink dress! The pics in the car are good too.

Love the pics! Thanks for sharing! I wonder what those pics will be for. Maybe release a photobook? Its been a while since the last one (not including (m)u) I love her style, makeup and hair...its so much like the duty era :love

I'm pretty sure those photos are only for this issue of ViVi.

Although... the fact that she used ND CHOW as her photographer makes me think this'll be another photo book, or the album booklet.

i love this outfit! :yes

I think it's scary. She looks like she's extremely tall.

I think that looks _very_ sexy :luv2

I am sad. I was on holiday in LA 2 weeks after Ayu - .-;; I went to same places too T_T

An Asian drag queen?... A cute tiny one of course XD

wow, they do look very similar, but i don't think they'd reuse the same dress. thats so not fabulous.

I posted that on the first page but no-one noticed D:<

haha... yeah, it really is very similar... it's even got the darker tones underneat... many similarities.

If Ayumi is keeping all her dresses and outfits and keeps buying more... I wonder how big her freaking closet is.


It's probably like... an arena.

Dramatic? Ugh.

^Healthy.

That's why she doesn't do Dome Tours anymore. She's using the Domes as a closet because the arenas are too small.

wow, i went back and saw it! oops!

its surprising how similar it is. but i don't think it looks exactly the same.

do you think ayumi would reuse a dress?

Didn't she re-use the dress from the fairyland cover?

^When? During a photoshoot or a live or something?

hrm, i think she may have done a performance in it or appeared on a music show in it?

A live of Born To Be... on Music Station. I'm pretty sure Kuu was there.

I'd be able to accept that. Well, I'd be able to accept her re-using an old dress for anything... I survive. It's not like I've been using the shorts I'm currently wearing now and then for a year :D.

Maybe there was a purpose behind it and she mentioned it, but we don't have any translations?

...I never saw the big deal about her re-using a dress or any kind of clothes. .__.

here it is on nick's site.

http://eneabba.net/ayu/video/live/pa...Born_To_Be.htm

ayumi hamasaki = stunningly beautiful.
furreal. :]

In fact, it makes her look better. She's not a typical celebrity waster that buys a $10,000 dress and only wears it once. :P

I love these pictures! she looks so pretty

She went to LA for a vacation, but as she brought ND CHOW for this photoshoot I'm pretty sure she's been taking pictures for something special and not just this magazine. Probably the coming albums booklet or something, we can but speculate.

xD edited post because I didn't see the first few pages.

anyway, some of those pictures remind me ALOT of the (m)u covers/booklets.. which horrifies me..

Well, the (m)u booklet would have been real nice if only the pictures was higher quality, and now it's a professional taking them, I expect it to be great.

I LOVE them!! She loks so hot! Her style is very chic,which is cool! And I like her dark eye makeup, reminds me of her 2001 period..Sexy!

Hm.. I suppose you're right. I just hope that this time the cover is better.. I don't even care about the creativity anymore, I just want it to be pretty to look at :D

She's back to BLONDE! YAY!

The pink dress + hair = "Endless sorrow" in DOME TOUR 2001. :P

Those are lovely pictures! ^^

Ayu looks so pretty. I love the cover of that magazine. Kawaii :D

OMFG BEST ISSUE EVAH!

ouuu, Jamba Juice! <3

very cute, thanks!

You know, remind me someday to go down the street of LA in a big, poofy dress, and see what people thinks. :P

Nice pictures. Really does remind me of 2000-2001.
