If you get to be ayu's director/photographer/fashion designer &+ what would you do?

The title says it all!

What would you do if you get to become ayu's director, photographer, fashion designer, composer, etc??


In my case:

director: If we are talking about a ballad, I would really like ayu to go to England and make a pv in there I would like her to walk down the English streets, looking for someone/something, maybe similar to no way to say but not really, because this time she's gonna be looking for her love, as well as singing

photographer: I would really like to bring ayu down to earth again and simplify her style a little bit... the "I'm a super plastic doll fashion queen" theme is tiring me a little. She should really stop wearing too much makeup all the time for her photos, I would like to see ayu's skin naked, without any type of products at all. Then, I'll use light brown, dark browns, soft pink & purple, maybe green too for the pictures. Dark hair of course maybe people might think this too similar to the (miss)understood era, but in my mind, what I'm thinking, is totally different... dunno... I just want ayu to go all natural

fashion designer: I dunno much about clothes (like many of you guys are experts and I'm sure you are going to find some really cool clothes/shoes and stuff out there ), but I would love her to get simple with her clothing as well

composer: After releasing this upcoming "ballad" single, I would really try to get into ayu's head as a composer that is creating new music for her. I don't wanna just go out there and do whatever I feel, I want to express as close as possible the ways she's really feeling right now, and the subjects she wants to share with her fans and people in general. Of course she's going to write the lyrics(?), but I want this song's beat to match the lyrics that she wants to put out there. As well as I wanted to get ayu "naked" talking about her style, I want her to get "naked" and say whatever she feels in her next works And even, give her a little push so she might feel bringing CREA back once and for all!

Feel free to share pictures, drawings and of course comments!

director: Oh well, i'd like more to produce some PVs with a touchy story in the background. Honestly, I liked a lot the idea of Glitter/fated. Ayu need more catchy stories in her PV, she need to keep her fans but also gain new ones.

photographer: She has to get more natural. Always keeping her high-fashioned colthes but her style should be more simple. Less sunglasses, less hats or funky things...she's to show more her beautiful face with a lighter makeup. And stop the fishlips effect.

fashion designer:
Sometimes I feel her overbuilt. But i even love her style.

composer:
I'll give her more time to relax and compose. She should return composing her own songs from A to Z.
people need to listen to real deep feelings again.
her music got a huge evolution last years but her lyrics sometimes got repeatitive, maybe due to the hurry or the amount of releases per year.

i can't imagine myself being anything but her photographer. while shooting her i'd encourage her to be herself and just smile and have fun with it and not focus too much on creating fierce/diva expressions. i'd also make sure that if we want nature in the background, it would be real. i wouldn't have her shoot in a pool in bali and then photoshop some flowers in behind her. i'd like to have a shoot with her in las vegas with that beautiful fountain in the background for a single cover. i'd actually like to photograph her outside a lot, not on a set with a plain background. my style with her would probably be the style that the "off my day" and "on my way" photos were shot. i'd want my photographs to represent the real ayu in different (real) background settings.

her music genre is developed into a wide variety for the past few years but yeah her lyric is repetitive sometimes. i hope ayu is allowed more personal quiet time to think of the aspect she is gonna express at this moment of her life.

like everybody else, i too wish ayu to be shown naturally from both makeup and costume style. simple yet elegant, which suits her age.

PS: i'm totally okay with dark-haired ayu

director: I'd send her to England too! Maybe in the style of ever free, a mix of Joan of Arc and Ayu standing atop magestic castles singing her heart out She'd have a giant long dress stretching down to the ground from the top floor I'd try to bring back the "epic" ness of her older PVs, with great sweeping scenes and storylines

photographer: No more fish lips! I'd go for something more natural, maybe help arrange a new A LIFE. Keeping Ayu simple would certainly help to connect her to the youth again, but she could still have her glamorous moments. Not overdo it though...

fashion designer: Again I'd go for more natural and casual clothes. Every now and then I'd send her out in something glam but I'd try her in jeans/shirt/overalls more often ^^

composer: I'd work with CREA, maybe doing some "part II"s of her older songs...maybe borrowing the chorus from songs like SEASONS, M and SURREAL to create new songs that echo her old ^_^

For all of the above, I'd talk to Ayu in-depth first, to figure out what sort of message she wants to put across and what sort of moods & emotions she wants to convey. I couldn't tell you what I'd do beyond that without talking to her first. XD

I WOULD tell her to pose & move more naturally in her photos & videos.

director: i would make a nice video like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HL-N9oOjcs

photographer: i would take lots of nice pictures! closeups of her face and other body parts, she has really nice toes and i would put a lot of attention on that.

fashion designer: i would put her in a lot of fur and animal prints, leather is nice too. i would put her in flattering things that make her legs look long and thin.

composer: i would take away any creative input that she has because i've noticed the more control she has over her music the worse it gets. i would make lots of cool songs like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YePmikngFRg or maybe this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjJwqDa1QVI

Director...I miss her symbolic pvs, so I would love to have those back.

I agree with everyone else on pretty much everything. XD

I'd love to be her photographer. Just let her be natural, of course you have to have some make-up, but not tons. Just enough to accent the features. And I would love to have Ayu in a full jeans & t-shirt shoot, with REAL smiles and REAL scenery.

I wouldn't be anything, because knowing her fans, those people will get *****ed to death with constant complaining. Even then, some fans are desperate enough to make death threats and harsh jokes.

Besides, I have no musical talents to compose, suck at taking pictures and movies, and have no fashion tastes. XD So... yup. But I want to be her friend! <3

If I were her director, I would do something completely unexpected, like for a double-A-side, the MV of one song would be a comedic black-and-white, uniform high-key lighting video—make it look like a golden-age-of-television-era American sitcom (I Love Lucy, anyone?) And the MV of the other song would be a 180-degree turnaround, something reeeeeeeeeeaaaally epic in the vein of The Lord of the Rings. (Of course, with all that esoteric symbolism that is the trademark of videos like Ourselves or Ladies Night)

Pretty much this xD Or do whatever she wants, what is everyone that works for her does anyway...

DIRECTOR:
I'm a film-maker and I've made some music videos before, so I've always thought it would be my dream to direct a PV for Ayu! I have always thought I would love to make a video for Kiss 'O' Kill with Ayu in some gothish/ funeral garb singing in a cemetery or in front of an old church, like M but more rock! But for the softer parts she can be in a more pretty pink or pale outfit in another environment.

As for the other 2, I think Ayu mostly makes cool choices I wouldn't change it much, but I like it when she dresses in a cute style.

As for me, if I be Ayu's...

Photographer: Let Ayu wears suits like Lady Gaga

Composer: fast songs. Also similar to Lady Gaga style.

Director: Ayu have to dance in the MV. Hard dance.

1. first I would just call Versace, Lady GaGa and Alexander McQueen.
2. then find the best nail artist and hair/make-up artists in japan
3. then I would call ND Chow, Leslie Kee and HIJIKA to do her next photoshoots
4. call up some directors with good ideas who know how to make a woman look good
5. let ayu work on her songs as much as possible herself

and the results would be something like this (tho in a new different way):



6. I would lock kazuyoshi away and only let him work with kuu

The funny thing about this kind of thread, it that people almost aways says that they want ayu to do stuff she already did in the past xD

It could be something like a "in what era should ayu be stuck?"

I think most people dont mean ''I HOPE SHE DOES THIS 10 TIMES AGAIN''
more like they like that and something as nice as that would be cool
just bcos I like the I am... photoshoot doesnt mean I would recreate it
it could be a inspiration.
the world is not black and white, not everything means I hope ayu suddenly
goes back to 90's style.
