So I'm a little confused. Will it just be this one photo with a large article or will it be like a normal article with photos mixed in?

It's because of FANS' expectations that things get blown way out of proportion sometimes, not necessarily what Ayu is doing. We're like annoying parents who tell our kids, "YOU'RE GOING TO BE A DOCTOR, YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS OR THAT." And when they do something different or something they want to do, we shame them. Please, everyone, let's not shame Ayu. She's human, and even if you are a little disappointed, you gotta admit, it is not that bad, ne?

I completely agree, which is why I made the point that I got over it... cuz bottom line, if Ayu does something that I'm kinda disappointed with, the core reasons why I love Ayu don't change. The artistic integrity of her work is still just as good as it always was (okay, the "Real me" video lost an ENTIRE chunk of important plot detail when she started dancing all the time afterwards, but that's like... the ONLY example). Her lyrics still get to me, they're still fantastic. She still does so much for her fans. She still works REALLY hard. She's still a perfectionist. She still takes her career very seriously. And honestly, everything she's done that I've once disagreed with is a reflection of that. Fans wanted Ayu to sprinkle some english into her lyrics. Fans liked it when she danced in PVs and in concert so she worked REALLY hard to get in shape & get good at it. If she's doing this, it's because she knows fans will get a kick out of it, plus she'll probably get some new ones. She probably worked really hard to make sure she had exactly the right stylist and the right photographer working with her, made sure it was people she was comfortable with. She wouldn't have settled for some skeezy shoot with a questionable weirdo behind the camera. She's playing around, showing a sexy and fun side of herself, and she's doing it for those of us who find her hot and have wanted to see this for a long time! XD

urmm,the face expression is abit scary.especially the make up
if she can act a little bit more natural,i think this photoshoot will be perfect

[(AYU)Marionette]

no no no

if you want more money take of your clothes

[pepper]

I think it's typical American-Stars thinking. When they get naked, they want more moneyz etc~ But they often does that style in other way... (Playboy shoots, whole-naked shoots in other magazines, or the worst, sex tapes or naked pics leaked on the internet 'accidentally') But it's nothing like that, you're kinda overreacting. It's classy, not showing much, and very very sexy and fits her age at least! (im not a fan of cute Ayu~ i really dislikes those puppy faces)

This pic reminds me of a sexy commercial for perfumes, dunno why oO

[auss246]

After reading comments I think she's done this kind of photoshoot (nude) before? But I've never seen it, and I think it's totally new and different from what she's been doing lately! So fresh and natural (to an extent!) I love it!!

Spoiler:

Ayu's looks soooo good compared to Mariah's, haha.

Personally speaking, Mariah's is better.

All the hubbub over a exposed sideboob that's clearly photoshopped to be bigger than it actually is with a hat and shadows hiding the other areas (though I think they might've photoshopped her nipple off?). The only offense I see is her facial expression =/

[Mintkisses]

Her body looks stunning! But, her mouth expression.. not so much.

I love your posts

[1LOVE-T]

^ agreed

I actually like the photo, I don't love it, mainly because of the expression, but all in all, I'm really glad she did something spectrums different from her uber-pretty, cutsey stuff (that she's outgrown for about five years now..)

I mean she is a woman right? Not 17

Edit: You know, I actually don't mind the expression..

[primavera♥]

Idk what's been going on the last 11 pages lol but I agree with jbrat and delirum-zero

Anyhow after just getting home from long hours sweating in the sun. Being sore and etc. I thought that the last day of that made my day
But no THIS made my day. This!!!! Is hot!!!!
Now I see why she needed the red nails haha~
I ADORE!!! Can't wait for other pics

this

I'm a women lover and I think she looks hot and like said the expression is just weird

[love in music]

The expression is naughtier than the side boob to me.

[crea_spain]

I was thinking when a woman gets pregnant likes to eat lots of chocolate right?
*just kidding*

[NintendoHTF1242]

Would've enjoyed the shoot if her face wasn't so creepy looking.

[mcluva420]

ayu is a grown woman

[ll moments ll]

Also, her expression scares the absolute hell outta me.

But I am very interested to see what the rest of the photoshoot looks like.

Totally agree, the boob thing is bothering me and not because it's revealing but it just look unnatural and kinda too big (especially for a short and petite person like Ayu >.<). Her expression is just ughh.

Other than that, can't wait wait for the full scan ^^

Maybe it reminds you of the Coco Mademoiselle commercial with Keira Knightly lol




I think it's gorgeous. It reminds me of like, you know, those old french theaters, but also reminds me that Ayu is fun and playful and never misses an opportunity for excitement or a new experience.

I think her expression is funny! lol The full scan will be better...this one is all distorted...although, I'm not gonna put it past them to photoshop her boobs bigger lol

[mobius]

Oh. My. Lord.

Somebody, please resuscitate me.

All I have to say is:

BEST PHOTOSHOOT EVER! PERIOD!!
