A Lesson In Posing: AYU

[[biku]]

Hm, I think one of Ayu's worse album covers was My Story. She's either smelling her armpit or laying like a dead body. Her makeup was too much and it all looked very strange... She should keep it more simple and clean ... in the words of Hikki that is =__='

One more thing, every once in a while, Ayu has a single that sounds nothing like the other songs, i.e. HONEY or ANGEL'S SONG .. she sounds REALLY young in HONEY. But it's cool. There wasn't a point to that ... heh. @__@#

[RAISKA]

Well, I don't like Ayu on this cover, I like the cover where she's lying near her bed the most. But you are right! Too much make-up and the pose is strange! Still, I like all her album covers, even "A Song for XX"s one.

i like the limited MY STORY covers but not the original one

at first i didnt relli like any of the covers of MY STORY but when i actually bought the album, it loooked soooo beautiful!!

I think the inside picture of her in the bathtub with the bubbles should have been the cover. ~__~"

[AyuGAME]

i buy the one that ayu lying in front of the bed
i still love that cover..she looks different, sometimes artist need to always change their style and ayu is really smart with this

[[biku]]

She is like the Japanese Madonna ... except she isn't Jewish and doesn't kiss pop stars who lip-sinc at an awards show ... eh. Same difference.

haha ^^ never really bothered to look at the covers -.-

[nanami606]

it's the worst of her album covers. the limited version ones were so much better(two of them at least).

[ohsixthirty]

eh, it was ok. i've never really been crazy for most of her album covers. i like the single covers more usually.

^ er, second part of the sentence is sorta uncalled for? We all know she's compared to Madonna because she changes images so often.

Anyways, the pose isn't all that great, I agree.
Whoever said the bathtub pic should be the cover had a better idea than the CD designer.

people are so critical pointless.

[stardusties]

the My Story covers deserve the term "make-up monster" as..'said' by namie..[i put said in quotes btw oo;...] she wore so much make up there X_x; iunno what to say

[SheFliesHigher]

I think her past three releases have had pretty boring and uninspired covers....My Story, Step You, and Fairyland.

Isn't it Ayu who chooses what pics will be used? I remember somewhere reading that she would have the final say in which photo.

[elepop]

OMG. The whole ayu-has-too-much-makeup-on-the-my-story-album and the whole ayu-has-a-weird-pose-on-this-album are coming back again...

AND the thread's title doesn't even match the discussion.

^ You have a point there. I thought it would be a post with Ayumi in similar poses at different photo shoots or something.

[PURIN]

if you didnt know.. red lipstick was very in around that time..
and i think ayu looks great in the photos..
but if this is a reason that decides whether or not you like ayu your pretty shallow

Same here.

I guess it was. Oh well. It does seem to have drifted a little off topic but oh well. The only two things that get my attention in any of her poses are her eyes and her nails ... Hm.
