ROFL. I love the way you think.

No, in the BLUE BIRD poster, I see beauty. It's like she went all out to combine as much beauty and elegance as possible into a shot. The colours are stunning, the pose complements the surroundings, the flowers add serenity. Yes, she does look more majestic, doesn't she?

It's just a very beautiful picture, I wouldn't call it a sexy shot. Of course it's sexy, but the beauty and feminity overpowers the sexiness. Although her eyes, when looking straight into the camera lens, does have the kind of expression indicating sex but only very subtly. Thankfully the ones where she looks elsewhere are more mysterious and more beautiful.

Other sexual poses? I would say Startin' but the expression on her face, the big smile, suggests something different. It's more like fun and joy and happiness. This is the CD+DVD version I'm saying. The CD only version has a strange expression that I can't decipher. Is that her expression when she uses her sex appeal? I imagine that could be her "come hither" expression. Like in the STEP YOU cover shots.

Unfortunately, I don't think Ayu has taken a picture where you can instantly say "oh, she's using sex appeal". She just can't pull it off. It's something she can to learn of course, but I don't think she needs it. Other sexy pitures of her would be the "Rainbow" cover. Even that isn't a picture showcasing her sexiness. But the back cover does of course.

Not like I would ever think of sex with Ayu.
