Hey it's light years ahead of that atrocious shoot with the ugly men she did before Party Queen's release. Even she was ugly in that one.

I think ayu has some gorgeous shots here. And the models just look either awkward or creepy, one on the floor is almost cute but still awkward lol

It's funny you think they're cute there and ayu is not. I wouldn't be surprised if we both view a lot of her shoots differently lol.

leslie kee shot these?

honestly, she needs to move on. he's made some amazing work, but more and more i think he's pretty terrible.

[jewelbox]

^ Yea, Agreed. Leslie's "talent" seems to be ruining a natural beauty with wrong usage of PS and unflattering camera ankles

[yoshino]

The more I see, the more it doesn't look like Ayu!!

i think being a HQ photographer he's like overdoing it now. I think he's forgetting one thing LESS IS MORE. And yeah she needs to take a break from him and he needs to take a break from her....weird how you'd think he should know her best angles really well after working with her for so many times, but he's failing incredibly latelly. They should have stopped with FIVE.

The pictures are what Ayu want them to be (or the concept the magazine is using), the final result of her photoshots has less to do with the photographers talent and more to do with the employer...

The only awkward person out there is plastic Ayu who looks like a creepy gyaru who is forced to smile And her body looks overphotoshopped Hahaha I guess we would

Yeah haha. I don't think the models look cute at all lol.. and cuter than ayu is really pushing it. I almost find that offensive lol. Ayu is a cutie here.

I personally just find the male models unnecessary.

They make the photos a bit edgy though.

Since these are the shots they chose

and photoshopped themselves probably.

[JackieRos]

it makes me so sad seeing the older magazines she looked so gorgeous and
natural but now that they discovered new filters and effects on ps they have
gotten downhill

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

OMG so gorgeous, love this photoshot

Translation previews!!

from this page...

Summer in Japan is really short. I feel that it's a really special season. That's why I want to treasure each day more than any other season.

More than the end of spring, autumn or winter, the end of summer truly feels desolate.

Evening in summer just somehow feels sorrowful. The lively mood during the middle of the afternoon, paired with the sadness of evening. There are songs which can only be sung in this special season.

For "You&Me", I tried singing about the sorrowful brightness of such a summer. I am laughing, but the tears come anyway. That's the feeling.

I want to end summer with a smile at a-nation, feeling that "this year was such fun too". It'll be great if my summer songs can help to create that kind of fun mood.

Before a live, when I'm on stand-by alone, I always think this. "I'll surely bring everyone along. I need to have that overwhelming power to bring everyone along."

Whenever I have trouble with creating a show, I always go back to the idea of "Will the audience enjoy watching this?" Whatever I decide on must fulfill this.

This summer, I hope that the fans will feel that they have played a part in the production of ayu's summer best.

^ Thanks Misa for the translation! ♥

Surprisingly, I really do like it. It's not a flawless photoshoot, but ain't a disaster either. I get my BLUE BIRD feeling again (perhaps Ayu should use more pillows in her summersingles haha) and that's why I am happy. Thank you for sharing.

but, is ayu doubting herself? her ability to traverse her feelings to the audience? Ayu, you're being looked up to by so many, everyone is below you, so please, don't feel so low. Just be yourself and sing.

i just feel sad.

@aderianu : I just have to say that, Aderianu, you really made it better. Even if it means that you're photoshopping it even more..
But she looks more natural in your version.. Idk.. That's just how I see it
