Nami: I agree that Ayu's looked her age in previous photoshoots, but I guess it depends on the photographer sometimes. I dunno, it just seems like Ayu changes her looks a lot really often. I mean, Ayu looked kinda like a homely girl when she first debuted, kinda like how YUI is portrayed, but now she's like this glamorous figure that people look up to. Has the Caucasian-ness really not been that evident before? I thought it was the most evident around the RAINBOW era. Her light light strawberry blonde combined with some of the hairstyles of that time made her look really Americna. O_O
Who, me? XD Oh no I'm not angry. When I have an idea in my head I just have to present it (with visuals when possible, of course) XD It's the speech & debate side of me, lol.

Hmm, that's a good point. The person who Photoshopped the Startin' cover probably isn't the same as the person who did these covers, and it's most likely the photographer changed too...and now that you bring it up, I suppose it has been more evident before. The big blonde curls in 2002 did seem quite classic American...I guess I'm just taken aback by these covers because they present the Caucasian-ness in a different form; I don't remember an actual cover in 2002 being this flashy in this sense XD; Just Ayu in lives and such.
