I think if they were going to go for the 'I'm not wearing any makeup at all' look, they should've not done her eyelashes with mascara or w/e. It kind of looks strange, haha.

Also, I sort of wonder how Kazuyoshi has made Ayu look so strange in some (most) of the magazine photos we've gotten. He'd done photoshoots with her in 2005 (notably, Sweet 2005 and the fairyland covers), and she looked fine then, so what the heck happened?

And it seems rather common for Kazuyoshi to have Ayu barely move during her shoots with him for Sweet. There's no.. motion in any of the shots until you go back into 2005/2006. Like she's being shoved onto a set, and then she changes, then shoved into the same position on the set and photos are taken. I guess that's one of the major problems I have with Kazuyoshi. It just doesn't look like there's care put into directing the model into visually appealing poses. If anything, he's just leading Ayu to model-deadface.. which only works if you're one of those high fashion models wearing a 4 million dollar dress, haha.
