Well, Ayu is a fashion icon and is known for wearing a lot of different clothes and styles, so, accourding to this book, apparently in "real life" she wears simple clothes or no clothes at all (or just lingerie)...?


I don't get why not posting the scans, don't we have scans of, like, everything else here? What's the difference with this photobook?

Anyway, I'm restraining from looking at the new shared pics until my copy arrives (though it'll probably take a month >_<)

^same old issues "being a fan" "supporting the artist" "buying shit cuz you can" bla bla, just some people can't get over that allready...*rolleyes*

[~angel*ayumi~]

I also don´t get it.
Then you can also say, don´t scan Mags because everyone can buy it, don´t rip CDs + DVDs because everyone can buy it bla bla bla...
I whould appreciate Scans, because my Scanner is broken, so I can´t scan it myself and I want the pictures on my PC^^

[anna_ayu]

Oh, please, scans. It´s so important. There are many fans that live in countries that don´t sell products of Ayu or is very difficult to buy or order on web.

And, in my opinion, have the scans don´t impede fans to buy the photobook.

^ I would say scans even help sometimes... For example, I was very uncertain about this photobook before seeing the inside pictures, but after seeing the previews I was sure I wanted it because she looks gorgeous

Though of course it can work the other way as well if someone doesn't like the pictures after seeing them...

I absolutely want this photobook, but not everyone like myself can afford it. I appreciate all the scans people are posting up until now, and in the future if this photobook is still printing, I will definitely get it for sure.

Let's not make a huge deal out of this again guys..

And I'm somewhat turned on by looking at Ayu even though I'm a female LOL is that weird

Nah, you're not weird.

[freedreamer]

the book is bigger than I thought!! will be opening it after finals haha

[pimenta]

^ how big is it? I though it would be kind of small (same size as the hart nail book)... but the bigger the better

[truehappiness]

IIRC, the HEART NAIL BOOK was A5 while this book is A4.

(for reference, a B0 poster is HUGE compared to a B2 poster which is usually the size of the free posters we get with Ayu CDs... sometimes they also give away B3 posters which are smaller than B2)

[Isicio]

I want post pictures of the photobook when arrives...

Nice! I'm happy to know it's bigger, A4 is a nice size for photobooks
Though... the heart nail book is A5? It looks a bit bigger then A5 imo...

[truehappiness]

Yeah, now that I recall, it was a bit bigger.


Size comparison with CDs.

We should see the two books next to each other, but 'ayu' looks a bit bigger than A4 in photos, hm...

Spoiler:

[pimenta]

^ woah, it does look big!

[chocopockymaster]

For comparison, what size was the collector's/limited edition of the Deji Deji compilation?

[BlackSilence]

tumblr is full of scans already it seems...

Do you mean the original one? That one was B4.



Deli's comparison of the mini (A5, apparently?) and B4 edition:

I think those scans were from Aderianu, or maybe not.

Gahhh I want scans already Too excited I'm tooo excited to see the naked ayu.

[truehappiness]

Well, some of those were posted on TA.

And a few were found on Foraver Club's albums.

[HULUFan]

^ yeah, most of them are actually from TA and ViVi.
i guess one of them is from a weibo user (and i saw her post saying "repost is not allowed")
