^ I know right... I actually never really thought his single/album covers to be "bad", A BEST 2, A COMPLETE, GREEN/Days, Mirrorcle World and NEXT LEVEL were all nice to me... it was his magazine shots and PVs that really disgusted me.
But now, he looks like he's trying to branch out his epic phailure to single/album covers as well. Soon he'll drain all the life and expression out of Ayu's eyes in every photo of her that he takes...

^ But to me, the big question is still "why does Ayu keep allowing it?" Shimomura may be bad, but I'm even more disappointed in Ayu herself for either not realizing or not caring that he is bad. Or that no one in her staff seemingly has the guts to stand up and say how ridiculous things are becoming. Friendship shouldn't be factored in at all when it comes to business.

1. Horny? LMAO You seriously do not know how people 'look' horny. Ayu wears a very typical beach/summer outift, and there is no emotion on her face whatsoever, which just highlights the fact that SHE DOESN'T LOOK HORNY on the cover at all. Koda Kumi - FREAKY CD + DVD cover is one example of a cover, where the artist actually looks horny. 2. I am on this forum because I love Ayu. It is embarrasing for me to share the love for a superb artist with so childish people, who won't buy the songs just because of the cover! Well, guess what; Ayu is on the cover. She's on the cover. She is on the cover! Some artists just insert some crappy images instead of themselves on their single/album cover. 3. In those cover you mentioned, I only find the CAROLS cover nice. In Blue Bird she's got no emotion on her face at all and she is lying on a stack of differently coloured fabrics. Endless sorrow is much worse cover than Sunrise/Sunset. 4. She's done something different, and I like those covers for that reason. They're not overdone, they're average, which suggests that Ayu is still pretty much a normal person.

@Sunshine: Friendship could be a factor... but I think there's some sort of contract involved too. I don't believe someone who blogs about her discomfort in doing strange actions in a PV would allow that same person to just stay with her...
I think, in that original TA message, she wanted to say, "Kazuyoshi Shimomura sucks and isn't my friend and he made strange yoga and Fergie poses in my awesome cool song, Sparkle! I hate him!!!" But since she's nice and a friend, she said whatever she blogged which is something like, "And I was doing strange movements! I feel werid!!! XD LOL" He's really bad. If Ayu had eyes, she could see the PVs that he directed (GREEN) is a big fail compared to the rest of the NEXT LEVEL PVs, even if they weren't amazing or whatever. At least the other PVs do not have her "I'm a diva" face 24/7 and all the over-mouthing or whatever... I really don't like that.

And as I said before, if Ayu doesn't want to be working with someone, she wouldn't be. And I doubt Avex would actually WANT to keep this guy on contract when it is so obvious that she has worked with far better in the past.

And yeah, I agree with the 2nd part... she has worked with her friends for a really long time... Peco, her dancers, Takade Ishii... I don't mind these people, though Ishii is a big hit or miss (though Days was  ).Kazu however is the biggest hit or miss with more misses than hits anyway... she really should just wake up. Does she need this guy to violate her or something before she would fire him???

^ I think most photographers' contracts are 3-5 years. Though he shot STEP you/is this LOVE? and fairyland, I think Kazu officially signed a contract from A BEST 2 onwards, which should be 2007. Maybe his contract would expire from 2010-2012...

lol I was talking about Kazu to my friend who, doesn't know anything about this stuff...
and she is positive that Ayu and Kazu are sleeping together, and that's why she's keeping him around

Yeah. I don't see ayu keeping someone she doesn't like. I don't buy music for it's cover so it doesn;t really matter,but it is something to look forward too after waiting for her new material.
