[Scans] Sweet 2009 September

[Yeli13]

just my idea: maybe they are using her wax statue???

edit: and oh, I'm definitely blind after seeing this gold cloth she's wearing with her tee shirt on the cover and on the second shoot. What was the inspiration of the guy who did this?? a cup of tea?? a hot air ballon??

[Stricte]

SHE LOOKS TOTALLY LIKE A CREMED/BALSAMED DEAD BODY OR YEAH, A WAX STATUE.
There's no life in her. No emotion. Same face on each foto.

THIS SUCKS. in fact i love her hair ;p

lol cutest thing ever: that they used her wax statue! So plausible, and a fun way to view these disgusting photos!

I don't like them.
Clothes are bad, poses are bad, Ayu's expression is the worst (well, there isn't any).

The only thing I really like is the less make up. It looks good, it's just the facial expression that ruins the make up, too.
I'm always for less make up.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I like everything except her unchanging facial expression. They're all the same...

Sorry, but these are some of the worst mag scans I think I have ever seen :/
She looks so drugged up, it's hideous
@_@

[truehappiness]

I think if they were going to go for the 'I'm not wearing any makeup at all' look, they should've not done her eyelashes with mascara or w/e. It kind of looks strange, haha.

Also, I sort of wonder how Kazuyoshi has made Ayu look so strange in some (most) of the magazine photos we've gotten. He'd done photoshoots with her in 2005 (notably, Sweet 2005 and the fairyland covers), and she looked fine then, so what the heck happened?

And it seems rather common for Kazuyoshi to have Ayu barely move during her shoots with him for Sweet. There's no.. motion in any of the shots until you go back into 2005/2006. Like she's being shoved onto a set, and then she changes, then shoved into the same position on the set and photos are taken. I guess that's one of the major problems I have with Kazuyoshi. It just doesn't look like there's care put into directing the model into visually appealing poses. If anything, he's just leading Ayu to model-deadface.. which only works if you're one of those high fashion models wearing a 4 million dollar dress, haha.

I guess...I'm slightly scared now.

So...the dress in the cover is weird.
I like the pink dress. But it looks more like a baby-doll.
The last dress is the nicest.

I'm guessing her facial expression is on purpose to accentuate the nude make up? I hope...

[Francotirador]

I like the pictures, very profesional. Cute and sexy as a dream.

She looks weird just because her eyebrows aren't visible.
Simple: No eyebrows = Lack of facial expresion.

I suppose she doesn't give a **** about her image anymore.

[do it again]

it's the photographer's fault. she's absolutely blameless for the way she makes her own face look.

[Ayu_Ready]

I don't know who is the sweet's photographer but he is always makes strange shoots no?

I like the cover and the pic with the same dress whom is very beautiful like the shoes !! For the pink dress it's very original I think not awful and for the last a beautiful night dress I love her hairstyle and her shoes too

[inspire_rmx]

seriously i love all the outfits, her hairstyles and the nails.. realli nice esp the outfit on the cover. it's not that bad. at least for me. ^^

[Beauty4123]

i kinda like her outfits, but her expressions are almost all the same, lol. i love that GIF, too

[mcluva420]

The dead look is SO in!
weird, but not extremely horrible ^^

good idea to stay in denial

EDIT: SHE looks okay, but regarding the outfits-->

[GRACE]

She needs to replace her face, it's getting to the point of extreme awfulness here.

Everything else, though, looks pretty good in this shoot. Just that horrible face. Ayu, stop it or go away.

Apparently she DID replace her face though. What she needs now is to get her old face back. ;(

[emi♡]

oh dear god.

Where has her sense gone? You know, everyone's always saying how she's just "changed" and so everything about herself has also "changed" but this is ridiculous.

I know Ayu was never a great model, but she was at least decent. I don't care who's coaching her, she should know outright that these make her look awful.

Furthermore, Japanese magazines need to fire everyone in their art departments, or at least get them some advanced lessons in photoshop, along with some therapy to learn how to be okay with their eyes.

I've never seen someone look so tired and old in the eye area, yet have their eyes so open, bright, and liquified to be larger.

You know, it doesn't help all the surgery claims either. If anything, photoshoots like these, are just fuel on the fire.

At least the outfits are okay...but then they lost the look with the over the top hair. In the last pic it works, but the first and second really needed something else. Not to mention they needed expressions so she doesn't look like a wax figure.

And what's up with all the brown backgrounds...Is that their new grey?

Ew...I have to...navigate away...navigate away...

[CeReSu]

OMG these scans are so horrible u_u
Poor Ayu xD

[JackieRos]

on the bright side this is another moment to say
how bad of a photographer that guy is so bring it on
he forced ayu to use him as a photographer
"ayu i will shoot you if you dont use me"
"ok ok! i wanna live"

bad man you should be ashame of yourself
