One of my main problems is the background like others have mentioned. It almost looks like a backdrop rather than the real outdoors. My opinion may change when we get larger versions of the covers but as of right now these are not Ayu's best. Another bad thing is that we may be stuck with pictures of Ayu like this for a while since I have a feeling there is a contract with Shinomura that cannot be broken without many legal issues to follow which Avex nor Ayu probably wants.

Thank u. I completely agree with u.

I was just telling my friend there must be some kind of contract or sth forcing ayu to use Kazuyoshi over and over.

About the photography thing, i agree with u as well.

HOWEVER i think it's okay when fashion pictures look completely fake. At the end of the day it all comes down to what u were trying to convey through that pic.

It's art after all. There are no rules.
