Ever seen This Photo?
 

I find this photo on internet, from the young Ayu. I've never seen it before, and you? Does someone know more about this photo, like for what it was taken etc.

It's probably just from some of her early idol modelling days; I'm not too sure of where exactly its from though.

i love how natural she looked in her modeling days. she looks the same now, just a little bit older. :D

It's definitely one of her magazine shoots... I seem to remember it's from an issue of Up To Boy? Not sure though.

I'll look for it when I get home tonight and try & place it for you. :)

Thank you all for telling. ^ok i am curious.
@Panda - yeah she looks very like the ayu now, only a bit younger

Kawaii~~♥

so young and innocent *O*,almost cant believe it of who she is now ^^

I think such photos are made for old horny japanese men. I hate how most of her old bikini photoshots reveal her crotch in a softcore porn way, in my opinion! But this is how young japanese girl try to get into business; Ayu's is by far not the only one who started her career with such photo magazines...

And evidently, its the same reason why she wanted to get out of it and do something difference; she wanted a place of her own where she worked hard for something; she really didn't like those modelling days, I guess she just didn't like just being seen and not heard.

Then again, loads of people go and do that stuff with no problems, and because they want to. Ayaka Komatsu had quite a few great acting roles, but she focuses mostly on bikini and underwear modelling.

oh my... :O

she is so adorable *.*

That's a gross picture, IMO.

She has such an adorable smile. Even though back then her teeth weren't perfect like they are now she still looks so cute.

Sorry this reply is so late ^^;; only took me a week to remember to do this :P

Looks like this is from the September 1995 issue of Up To Boy! (I KNEW it was from Up To Boy, go me! ^_^) All the scans I have from this issue are here: http://ayumi-hamasaki.net/gallery/th....php?album=262

lol, the cuts of the bathing suits are so old xD anyway, thanks for the info Delirium :D

Agreed. As ShiSeido said, it's for pervy old men, who I think really wanna look at young, and I mean young girls...

I miss her eyes like that. So beautiful

sorry for my late reply, just saw you post it, sorry.

she looks great in this shoot. so energic and young. I only think if she has worne myabe a little more clothes, she looked better. and 1995, i was about 1 year. Ayu would be like 16 or 17 right? Personally i thik that is to young to get photographed in such clothing. But without thinking about the colthing, she looks amazing. SO innocent and youthfull, soo without worries. Thank for sharing:)

i dont see the big deal with her being in a swimsuit at such early age.. :irked

BTW nice find ^^ first time seeing it. ayu looks so cute :)

That outfit is horrible, but she's so damn cute!!
