O.....M....G!! :thud
so sexy!!! she's in great shape!! and looks atleast 10 years younger than she is! XD

i love the pics of her in jeans, there's never enough pisc of her in jeans♥
i love her clothes and makeup in this pic.
can't wait for the whole photoshoot:heart

Thanks for sharing - looks hot! But I don't know what the rest of the photoshoot is for - maybe next month's feature?

Also, I'm speculating that next month's Deji Deji diary could contain a-nation pics...

Seriously, her body is SLAMMING here. Oooooooooooooooooo.

Um...I never say anything in this forum since I don't really feel the need to. But now I want to say something after reading all the harsh stuff about that one picture.

It was titled NAKED TALK so my first thought was 'Oh so that's why the picture is like that'. Because she's "gonna reveal it all" in the interview (about the singles and stuff) so the picture was made to say that to the viewers just like the title. So I don't understand why some of you seem to think it has no concept, that it's just that Ayu felt like being naked to promote her singles. It has a concept and a meaning IMO.

That being said, I love the picture. It's artistic and classy. But I don't like the expression that much, it looks weird and a bit creepy. Maybe if her mouth wasn't so open...Though I'm getting used to it, it doesn't look as weird as it did yesterday, lol.
The expression is really saying that 'I'm gonna reveal it all' in a nauhgty way so in a way I think it's great like that....but at the same time it says 'I just ate someone, teehee' *laughs* just put some blood in her finger and lips.
Oh and I like it that it's black&white. It fits the concept.

All the other pics look great too. I love those jeans.
I can't wait!

Ooooh this was fun...^ ^ Maybe I should do it again sometime..probably won't, lol. Bye~ *waves*

Thanks for these, I love the pics.

haha yes more nakey pics!

WOW!!! thanks
cant wait for the next issues of vivi! xD

THNX A LOT! Those pictures are beautiful!

Even though the naked look is hot, she is absolutely beautiful! Seriously, that woman is so gorgeous. :) She even looks comfortable in her own skin, and I admire that so much! :yes

I was thinking the same thing! :laugh I'm straight, but Ayu is friggen hottt! I wouldn't be disappointed if I dreamed about her. ;) :roflmao

"AYU NAKED TALK" oh yes. :D

The next two ViVi shoots are gonna be so stunning!

aaahh I luv her jeans!!! luv her wardrobe and hair.. and she is in a very very good shape, looks really good.

can't wait to see those pics, to be honest I'm not a big fan for the first black n white pic, but after seeing the back stage pics.. it seems like the whole photo shoot will turn out way better..

again I luv her jeans! wondering what she's wearing..

DAMN YOU, AYU!!! YOU'RE TEASING ME!!! >O< :laugh She's so hot in these pics! <3 Thanks for sharing! ^^;

Gorgeous Ayu! When I saw the naked picture I was like 'Hot Diggity Damn!' :D

Thanks!

ew you can see what looks like a tatoo on her ass. way to go Ayu, getting a tramp stamp.

apparently, it's not confirmed to be a tattoo... but perhaps a flap of the jeans or something... well it's a reli small photo so we can't be 100% sure what it exactly is, it could even be a shadow :innocent

and even if she reli got a tramp stamp... well I wouldn't mind :P

:luv2

ugh~~~ :heart *bleeding*

thanks!!!

yay! for evolution jeans and fox tail!!!!! :D :D

she really goes naked in front of the photographers??? gosh...

Wow.. Ayu is so sexy this time. I wanna get that issue too!! =D

OMG thanks!!!!! you're the best~ :luv2

Her body is just...

W-O-W!

I cant imagine that >.<

Well, they are all professionals and apparently Ayu is comfortable enough with them and herself to do a topless photoshoot. I love the behind the scenes photos, she looks adorable. And I wonder also if she got a new tattoo on her back. Or maybe it's just temporary for the shoot? I guess we will find out.
Damn, I love topless Ayu! She's so HOT!

omg I want scans :thud

dito, thank you so much for that :)

O-M-G wow wow so wow wow oh wow wow so wow wow..... **speechless**

Still not very comfortable about Ayu's sexy image but i have to admit that this shoot is cool... somehow... must get used to it. love her hair anyway


i realize i'm feeling like a mommy finding out that our baby Ayu is a big girl now :laugh


Thanks wincci & marioryck!

She's almost 32 years old omfg.

^Some people still see Ayu as a very innocent type, even though she has already done topless shoots before, since early in her career. I can understand feeling that way to a point. It's those people who don't think this shoot was done tastefully that I don't understand.

i wonder when is she going to get married...i'm sure it would be a marvelous wedding ;-)

^She probably won't, at least not while she's so busy. And as far as we know she has no one special in her life. Maybe 10 years from now she'll finally decide to settle down and get married. It's never too late for love. :heart

I just don't understand the whole "ayu is growing up! she's a big girl now!" thing though. She has been a grown woman for years.

It might take some time, I still have to save up the money to pick out the ring and then fly to Japan :D

that's true, but if you look back at her, she used to act too cute sometimes, she dressed rather cute on some occasions, talked in a chibi-like voice ;-) etc.
I think that's what made people think she has become more mature now.
Of course she's been adult for years, if you just consider her age.

this is better!!

and anyone can tell me if the clothe ayu held in front of her, covering her body, is a jeans?

^ it's a hat :)

Hope we can see this shoot soon. Looks interessting.

it sure looks interesting indeed :D
Ayu's so hot ;) although I've never really looked at her like that, I'm still very excited ^^

It's not because she's using a "COME RAVAGE ME" face :l Plus it's called "AYU NAKED TALK" the whole purpose of this IS for her to be naked, there's nothing else about it

That could very easily be shadows and tramp stamp tattoos aren't on asses. They're on the small of the back.

ETA: Oh wait, I see you like trollbaiting. Nevermind, then.

Any woman should be proud of thier body, and Ayu shows that in a mature, beautiful, feminine way. Looking forward to the rest. :)

I may be alone in this but I'd rather Ayu have a "tramp stamp" than that gaudy mess on her shoulder!

I'm with you! This tatoo is so gross... The original was nice. The full dissymmetrical heart with crown on top screams "home made"! :innocent

Hmm, not sure I like her expression in the picture with the hat. Hopefully the others will be better.

That's so disgusting. :no I hope she doesn't have one or I'll definitely lose some respect for her.

wait...

it really DOES look like she has some more tattoos. i even noticed people were talking about it on aramatheydidnt.

but i see two on her front pelvis, you can actually see one in identiy's avatar. it looks like maybe she has two little red hearts tattooed there? and then i see one on her lower back too.

i don't know, i guess they could be for the photoshoot, or they could be tricks of the light or whatever, but they reallllly look like tattoos to me.

I really like the tattoo on her shoulder, and don't have a problem with her having any other tattoos. But that's just me. I've never seen any problem with tattoos. It'll be cute if she has a heart on her pelvis. xD

she looks so pretty in the making! XD I love her hair :) thanks for the scans!




meh.

I have no problems with it either. I'm just a bored fan with nothing better to do. :)

http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/1ac242b3.jpg http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/afba44ea.jpg http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/602b787a.jpg

I turned up the sharpness on the first one, but no clue what it could be.

But looking at these close-up like this...its hard to think they are anything but tattoos.

^ thanks! I see them now. I think the hearts there would be cute.

You guys are overreacting, it's just ink. It's her body and she can get plastic surgery, piercings, tattoos and the like where she pleases. Having a tattoo on your lower back doesn't make you a ****, sleeping around with half of Tokyo does.

Grow up. Adults have tattoos.

Even many respectable people have tattoos :yes It doesn't make them less of a person! And Ayu seems okay with having those tattoos, so~ :)

They're probably painted on for dramatic effect.

She's had several shoots where she's had temporary tattoos on so it's not surprising if she had them for this shoot.

That's strange...

I don't really know why it's called a "tramp stamp" which is why I put it in quotes because if you ask me, it's a better spot than on the shoulder! The hearts are cute though <3

I hope you're right. But I still think it's weird to even want a fake tramp stamp. It's so classless.

Maybe some jeans tag? Reflections of something? Shadows? Maybe we have no clue; it looks as if Ayu had another tattoo, but her right shoulder tattoo is all what she has...

A lot of trashy girls in bars have them there, so it was dubbed a "tramp stamp"

Apparently, Ayu automatically becomes trash because she may possibly have one. :laugh

Odd how a person's character can amount to nothing against where a simple tattoo is placed lol. And besides, even if Ayu is a trashy tramp, I won't hate her for it. Hell, it only makes it easier for me to have a shot with her. :lech

perhaps you are correct. although the annoying part of this is that whether she has these tattoos in the final photoshoot or not, it still won't prove if they were real or not! i mean, just think of her real tattoo. we had to speculate about that forever and ever as she kept it covered for so long. she could easily hide these or airbrush them in the final shoot if they are indeed real. on the other hand, the photoshoot could show them in full detail but we will have no way to know if they are real or fake. ugh.

however, i do feel if they were for dramatic effect that they would be a little more prominent or featured. these feel kind of like "oops!" they forgot to hide her tattoos, or ayumi didn't realize they were showing. whats the point of creating two tiny fake little hearts?

aaaaanyway...i don't really mind if she has tattoos or not. like i said before, as a fan i just find this kind of pointless stuff really interesting to speculate on.

i need to get out more. :grumpy

wahhh the 1st pic showing something near the bottom~~ wahhh looks like tattoo though..
but the red colors one..i think it's part of the jeans though~

So tattoos are trashy now? Or just where this supposed... tramp stamp? is...

I don't get anything. :laugh

Actually I think the placement of her back tattoo wouldn't make it a tramp stamp.

...and also that it's not a smaller one, like a butterfly or something that you would see easily in the very center of your lower back when your jeans are pulled way low...


the red ones are interesting to me cause they're on both sides...unless the picture was just flipped.

i'm sorry, but you're ridiculous if you'd lose respect for this woman over a simple tattoo that we will probably never/rarely see again.

that picture brought quite a lot of fuss here, funny :laugh

Everyone takes it too seriously, I think. Some of you should relax and enjoy the view. I mean a difference in one's life is allways good. Beisides fans (not just here) should learn to love their favorite one the way they are - with goods and bads, not nescessarily agreeing with every single thing one does or say, but understand that they also can make mistakes and experiment in their lifes, just like any of us! :yes

Blech. I hate the topless pics. I much prefer the outfits she's wearing. She even looks cuter in those shots.

^ I agree with you (^_^) I love Ayu's outfits and would really love HQ pics of them... IMO, they'd look much better, but maybe we can hope to see them in the next ViVi's! :)

thanks a lot for sharing those scans

So, according to some people here, if you get a tattoo on your lower back you automatically become less respectable and ****ty? Nice logic.
I love tattoos so a little part of me is hoping Ayu will get tons of them lol. That would be sexy.

:yes

:no :no :no :no :no :no
:no :no :no :no :no :no
:no :no :no :no :no :no
:no :no :no :no :no :no
:no :no :no :no :no :no

As much as I respect her right to do what she wants with her body, please Lord, NOT THAT!!!! :laugh

Lol. I honestly think it'd be hot if she covered her entire back in them. She wears tops most the time anyway so you wouldn't have to see them :p;)

I don't like "sleeves" and the like of tattoos, but I do like little accenting ones. That said, the lower back is a very beautiful place to have a tattoo. It's only recently that it's been seen as "bad", and that makes me sad. (no rhyme intended) I'd get one there if I didn't think it would hurt so much, lol. (plus I don't know what I would get)

And I keep wanting that beautiful orange top soooo much! Would look great in my wardrobe, ugh.

Definitely need these issues.

maybe those tattoos are only for the shoot?
(somewhat like stickers?)

lol Anything that she does seems to somehow damage fandom in certain people :rolleyes not that it matters at all though, nobody cares if you kill yourself because ayu got a new tattoo or if she appears half naked in a photoshoot.


And lol I wouldn't want her to cover herself with tattoos! I personally don't like them... Either way the one she has on her shoulder is pretty awesome! and the ones she seems to have now (fake or not) look cute! xd

I don´t like tattoos, but i hope her tattoos are beautiful (i love what she has in her back)

I think she'd look cool with a tattoo going down her back lol

(if it was a nice one, anyway)

I don't know, maybe it's just cause I like her...but I have more respect for Ayu getting tattoos than other idiot people that get them just because they think it's cool...

I feel like she is really sure of what she wants to do with herself and that, a tattoo would be something that she really wants, and would be something that means something to her.

Chanel has just released lots of temporary tattoos, it's fashionable and classy right now... the hottest accessory, definitely nothing off-beat. Thanks for sharing close up pictures!


:hi5 Know what idy, the strange thing is that i like tattoos on Ayu, but not the naked thing... while you feel the other way round. not shocked by the same 'sexy' things, it's interesting

imo tattoos in "hidden" places are the most beautiful ever, means a lot more than the "visible" ones...
btw, on her hip I see a rose instead of a heart :P

ViVi November issue is now available to pre-order from CD Japan:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview....Y=NEOBK-833405

it comes with a snidel Far pouch with chain :D

Real or fake those tatoos looks sexy.

As long as she dosen't have it on her arms like Namie or on her face its ok with me.

BTW, if these tatoos were real, wouldn't she posted on Twitter or on her TA already??

^i doubt it. she probably wants them to stay as private as possible due to some fans "losing respect" for her because of it. :rolleyes

Really.. am I the only one who's just thinking.. "stop the woman"? -.- omg

As long as she doesn't become Amy Winehouse, whatever. :yes

i kinda hope they aren't real.

i don't mind tattoos, but, iunno, I guess I don't love them either.

Why would you care? I dont get people who are soooo concerned about other people
have tattoos especially if they are on 'hidden' places. Like that makes a person worse or better? I personally would never done a tattoo and I think its ugly but I dont see what is there to judge. We all have different views of beauty.

Shame Levi don't pick her up... she could model jeans so, so well. She's got such a great figure for it.
Great pictures! :)

i agree with you! she looks so damn good in jeans, its amazing.

well, it's ok if she's partially topless in front of the photographers (Like when she's covering her boobs with the black hat)

but i don't think she can stay in that position for 30 mins or so whist taking the shot... so when she puts down her hands, it's like free porn for those male photographers... poor ayu... haha :shakehead:shakehead:shakehead

^they're all professionals. i'm sure they've seen naked people before. lol.

They're fashion photographers, I don't think a pair of boobs is gonna get them excited if you know what I mean :laugh Don't worry.

Could anyone answer my question: When is this October issue coming out? Because I ordered the Vivi that came out in Japan like 3 days ago, but I'm afraid it's the September issue :( help!

exactly. if she was that uncomfortable, she wouldn't do the shot at all. plus, someone she trusts could bring her a shirt or blanket after the shot is done. it's not that hard. :laugh

and apparently the photographer is kazuyoshi shimomura? well. she has nothing to worry about then :P

lol!

High Fashion Models get photographed completely naked ALL THE TIME. Go read an Italian Vogue.

I'm fairly certain it's only in America (and possibly asia?) where the censorship is so crazy we can't even have a model show her nipples.

Photographers are professionals. If they weren't professional about it, they wouldn't last in the business. It's not free porn. It's a job, and it's no big deal for them.

I swear, ANYONE that sees these and still think this woman isn't absolutely gorgeous needs a new pair of eyes (and possibly brain surgery). :thud Beautiful. Fabulous. Sexy. Mature. Classy. Lovely. Ayu. <333333

lol and I love how she's using the RnRC Ayupan mirror... :laugh I love when artists promote/use their own merch.

And I agree with jbrat and ero-kakkoii on the tattoo thing. :P It's just ink y'all.

LOL mte. Plus they're pros, they photograph beautiful sexy people all the time so they know how to keep themselves in check.

The October issue is supposed to be coming out "today" or it came out yesterday in Japan, haha.

(The October issue is being released in August. I've supposed that due to ViVi's release date being so late in the month, they have release an extra month ahead of time.)

I agree :) It's only called a 'tramp stamp' because girls who like to wear thongs, hang their jeans low and get in bars kept getting them done there. I think it's a shame cause I always thought it was a beautiful place to have one done.
I think Ayu dosen't have the tattoos in obvious places because they're personal to her, and nobody needs to know or question why they are there, because thats something personal she's done for herself, just like the one her shoulder. :) I don't think she wants wants people to see them for that reason alone.

The back is an awesome place to has a tattoo. xD I wish I could buy Vivi, but I don't know where to order from. D:

OMG Pretend my last post didn't exist. I was thinking of sweet not Vivi. XD Gaaaawwd I'm a retard. Thanks for the correction, TH.

No, I don't think so. We'd usually be able to see him from the behind the scenes shooting pics but he's nowhere.

hi there, voice of reason, thank you for joining us <3

i also don't get the hubbub about this from some of you, considering ayu has posed topless or nearly naked in several shoots already throughout her entire career: loveppears, audience, i am..., rainbow, mirrorcle world... there's probably more that i'm forgetting. not to mention the skintight cat suit for duty/surreal and the modified lingerie she wears on stage for some songs and performances. and the entire freakin' sparkle PV.

ayu is a grown woman and has a body that can be shown off just as easily as a grown man shows off his. no one pisses themselves about how a man's career is gonna tank when he does that stuff, now, do they?

(ooh, i'm a Connected Initiate now!)

People seem to think this is more vulgar, for some reason. (even though she looked stoned on the Mirrorcle World covers).

I don't think there is anything wrong with being sexy for the sake of being sexy at times. Ayu doesn't do it a lot and it's not too overt so I think it's fine.
I'm really looking forward to the whole shoot, that's for sure.
