Rare photos...
 

I love lurking deep, down the internet. Too bad, some of "old" sites, just dont work or exist now. I found one photo, I never seen before.. o_O never, even in small thumbnail or sth.. o_o maybe it's fake? But it doesnt look like fake to me.

also there are some pics under the spoiler that i can call "rare".



You know, there a lot of pics of Ayu that you can call "classic". They are everywhere (the new ones and a lot of oldies from I am - Rainbow era especially) But there are also some pics that can not be found in recent Ayu galleries from any fansite, from google images... Some of scans are that rare that I dont even remember from where I hella got em!.

I was saving Ayu pics since, wow, Memorial address era? It was EASIER! Cause a lot of OLD sites gots a lot of rare pictures. Now 90% of em dissapeared, people abonded them ;(

Do you know any site that collects rare pictures, old scans etc maybe?
Maybe you got your own rare collection?
Am I the only one obsessed with pics? xDDD

i've never seen that first pic either! good find. :D

I also have never seen the first picture!! Pretty good find :D

I'm 99,99999% sure this is from the ayu-mi-x II version Acoustic orchestra shoot :) Her clothes, make up and hairstyle are the same!

Pretty sure this is from the Takano Yuri Beauty clinic advertisement ayu did :) I don't have a bigger picture but I think you can probably find it :D

I've seen all of those except for the first two. Honestly though, I can't tell you where exactly these came from other than I remember seeing most of them as part of magazine photoshoots. Looking at these really reminds me of how Ayu has gotten more attractive with age IMO.

jeesus this is so true :yfrown lots of sites do no more exist... thanks god, there's still zyrex tho :D

I had a big collection of ayu's photos since 2002, but I lost it in 2009 :cry

I've thought about it recently and decided that at least I remember those photos and hopefully never forget.

I don't know but i like it. Reminds me ANNA TSUCHIYA' s FLEUR (Photobook)

The photos are rares but gorgeous :love

It's definitely not fake. Deli had it in her unsorted magazines from 2001 folder, but there's this other pic in there that uses it on a calendar from June 2000. So I'm stumped on this one.

July 1998 Girlpop. Deli didn't have it in the folder so she might've been missing it - or it very well may be an off shot.

Deli had this in her "Source Unknown" folder.

Same thing with this one, but it's definitely ayu-mi-x II AO. I can tell by the outfit.

Chinese mag (obviously). Not sure which one, but the bottom pic is an ad for Takanoyuri mud pack.

Deli gave me her entire collection of Ayu pics. It barely fit on a DVD, and that wasn't including the TeamAyu mag scans. This was back in 2008, so I've obviously added more. I'm pretty sure I have every mag Ayu has appeared in - or at least ALMOST. I'm in the middle of uploading everything to AHN's gallery. To say it's an daunting is an understatement.

that's from ayu-mi-x box

2007, the song was going to be together when!
ha, it would have been so convinient some months ago, bridal jewerly!!!

ahh i like to know all this things *-* im gonna uploadmy folders maybe... I am collecting ANYTHING, even retouches of scans. I wanted to open a gallery, but I am not good at creating a sites... And I don't have good server :(

^ No need. AHN Gallery: http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net/gallery/

Yes, I think the most convinient thing to do is to contact the people who is on charge of AHS gallery and thell them you want to collabore. (Or maybe another gallery)
