Wow! I didn't recognize at first either, but I love it! For once she isn't carrying some nonsensical, emotionless expression and stiff, exaggerated pose, and the picture as a whole looks much more professional and creative than... well, any Ayu mag cover I can remember. The emotion from both her pose and expression is magnificent, and the clothes/shoes fit her wonderfully. Her hair is gorgeous as well, the make-up is great, I just aahhh, she's absolutely beautiful!
Yeah, I have to say that this is one my favorite mag covers from Ayu (if not my favorite), props to Ayu and all those who worked on this cover! I'm hoping the inside pictures will have the same quality.
