"Swing and a miss."

Love her hair and body! #drool

I don't think they were trying to make her look alien. I think she looks very European and exotic

OMGness GORGEOUSSS..PERFECT BODY! :love

This is the thing, I don't get why Ayu is obsessed with looking caucasian...she looks most gorgeous with dark long hair and tan skin like Arena tour 2006.

This version of the promo looks better.

I like both, I kinda like how weird her eyes looks with blue lenses. I dont like her hairstyle a bit, but I adore the color.

I think I like this picture better than the other two we've seen. :love

Ayu with the smaller mouth works so much better LOL
her body does look really incredible

(@beffi..the ayu in ur ava and sig's very nostalgic hahha)

i don't see that ayu is so obsessed to look like caucasian.

mte.

actually it could have been an absolutelly stunning photoshoot... i'm kinda sad they wasted the opportunity...

wow the new one really looks better!!! great promo!

I love to see her body :luv2

hair & makeup = good...I love the blue contacts actually. She's beautiful as usual! :)
. but wtf stop photoshopping her so much!!!!! It's what makes her facial expressions look unnatural!!
she's in reallly good shape. I'm envious.
I need to go workout!!!!


If you look at page 2 of deji deji, and see the group picture, she looks absolutely stunning and cute. But the photoshop turns her into looking plastic occasionally...

+1 Agreed..

well guys i'm not sure she's obsessed with looking caucasian...she just seems obsessed with blond/light hair this past year or two or three....getting your hair dirty pinkish isn;t really much of a change. If she really would want to change, and be noticed she's go dark...i think....*shrugs*

fixed

sometimes I blame the photographer's more than ayu.
But if I was her I would put my foot down and tell them to stop doing all of this crap to her.

Ayu has had blonde hair for pretty much 12 years now, with a few exceptions...IMO Ayu goes out of her way to look the way she does, although she probably didn't sit down one day and decide "I'm going to look as caucasian as possible". I guess it's just the fashion/style she likes.

^ lol ok when i typed the years I thought it's a little too little .... But I really wasn't trying to say she is looking Caucasian, i'm not sure where people get that from. Blond hair is usually always on the fashion stage...tho i don't think she really goes for major changes, she still sitting on her safe boat of blond hair and mainstream fashion style. So far it just got more mainstream than it was during FIVE.....

She is probably going to go back to dark hair soon, but she changes her mind a LOT so we can't really assume it's automatically going to happen just because she said she plans on it in the future. (From a magazine interview)

Here's the quote [thanks to Misa-chan!]:
Of course, since then all she's done is cut it some more but maybe when she stops doing that, things will be different?

I don't mind her blonde hair, most American artists are fake blonde anyway.
