Picture that dont look like Ayu....but are Ayu

[immel]

This was the first picture, that when I saw it (quite some time ago) I did not recognize her, I do now though,

[ayu1m]

I haven't seen that before, maybe the only one with a cowboy hat that I like =)

[immel]

I think that the style is so very un-Ayu-like, that is probably why my brain refused to see it was her when I saw it. Here's more from the same photoshoot:

^ Didn't she wear that in the Dearest pv?

[ayu1m]

Hmm.. I could imagine those clothes on Jessica Simpson.. That is quite un-Ayu.

But still, she looks awesome, as always

I'm saving these too^^

I don't know, I don't think I've seen it :/.

[Norrel]

Think so =]

EDIT: Not exactly the same, but both are very similar.

[ayu1m]

I checked and yep, she did.

Oh, norrel was faster.

I love Dearest PV

I really REALLY hate this picture. TO me it doesn't look like ayu.. at all

omg that smile is wretched! Why did she let something like that get sold to millions of people @____@

If only it had sold over a million copies... . You know, it was the first Ayu album to not sell over a million.

^ Didn't A BALLADS take forever to sell over a million?

[immel]

Yes, but I don't think we ever had any real confirmation it finally did? Or maybe we did. It had a REALLY weird chart-life I think if I remember correctly, or maybe that was A BEST... unsure. I think the word-of-mouth is that it did sell over a million in the end. (miss)understood won't, it's still got 135k copies to go, start counting the years it'd take... sadly.

When I first saw it I was like...I wonder if anyone thinks it is as bad as I do...

Makes me sad that it could've easily sold more given a few tasteful changes.

[LacusClyne]

and this cover...it's ayu, but if you don't know you might not know who is this...

[JesA]

the Ayu Mi-x II JPN Ver. she looks really weird there. and i think (miss) understood didnt sell 1 million copies because cds dont sell like they used to. now, a lot of poeple just download it and treat it like they bought it. also, they couldve changed a lot...the cover was disgusting, the booklet was boring, and it was just a couple pictures before and after filming the PVs for the album...the only thing that had good taste was the music, PVs, and the new A symbol

[blahh]

lol @ the last picture.
hahah. oy, she's soo cute.

[shavoingin]

i think this one looks weird

[ayu1m]

lol I totally agree

[BigAyuFan]

THATS Ayu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
