Ayu is so fierce and sexy! JUNO did great too.( But the 2nd pic. meh..)

JUNO needs to loosen up imo. ayu is so playful and cute but he always seems so nervous & uncomfortable around her.

My personal favorite pic is the one with them lying down - Ayu looks great in that one. The one showing only Ayu's back is also good, but maybe that's because JUNO's expression doesn't look as displaced in that one, and Ayu can't make any weird and lifeless expression like she does in some of the other pics.
A decent photo shoot, in my opinion. The clothes are very visible and look nice enough, too.

It's not just you. The only change in his face between the pictures that I see, is a couple of twitches, really. He's handsome but I don't find it so attractive when he looks like a statue instead of an actual living human.

Yeah, but he is standing next to Ayumi Hamasaki, after all. ;) I'd be kinda nervous too. I don't know how used he is to these kinds of celebrity-things either.

They look so cute together. They have good chemistry. Both in the photoshoot and in the event photos. The awesome clothing helps too :P

I think he kinda has to be like that, to be polite or respectful. Being all crazy would be just not respectful lol

who's that guy? the first pic looks like jay chou

So what, RayJason?

This looks so tacky like an American clothing brand ad for high school students.

JUNO IS HOT!! AYU'S BODY *0*

Who is JUNO? I totally thought it was that guy from TVXQ... Xiah? :laugh

Ayu looks great except for her lips in the 2nd photo made me LoL

Really? JUNO is the one who sings why... with ayumi from her latest album

Haha well Xiah is JUNO's younger brother!

just sayin' but I wonder what Mannie thinks of these pics :laugh XD

lol yeah, some of them are a little on the sexual side

Mannie, you've got yourself a rival :innocent

Anyway SWEET PHOTOS!! XD
They look so hot together and I actually don't mind Ayu's lips this time~

If you did, it's because they're twins.

I love this pics! * - * JUNO so sexy!!!!

@pommy aren't they twins? xD i think they stated so long ago...

the shoot is nice :yes but JUNO needs to loosen up a bit x)

It's not just you, he looks like a statue in all of these photos. I wonder if the photographer had trouble working with him.

Did I offend you?

I have to admit, I'm not exactly sold on these pictures. JUNO's expression just kind of ruins it all for me. The picture with Ayu on top of him doesn't look good. And the one with her butt on his shoulder...what exactly is that? >_>
Oh well. Ayu looks nice in most of them so its ok I guess.

^:yes

I showed Ayu's photo campaign to my husband, (who does professional photography on the side) and he said. "If Bruce Weber, Nigel Barker, Donald McPherson, and Karl Lagerfield saw this, they'd probably roll over and die........of laughter." :innocent

I've taken classes on fashion, fashion photography-advertising, etc., and I'm not impressed either. :no

thanks!

Uhmmmm... aren't the clothes like that though? Cool but somehow a bit conservative? I don't know :P Depends on the audience they're targeting.

Because the models aren't in their 20s so yeh lol

whoa, it looks like she's gotten some surgery...

She looks good though!

They are, non-identical twins though! :yes
Juno is Junsu's older fraternal twin brother.


@dartsofpleasure: I guess it's more like too much Photoshop...again! :headache

The lips in the first pic...I can't take it...someone get an epipen

The lips aren't that worse. The boy's soulless expression is what gets me. :laugh

ROFLMAO

but hey Japanese advertising photos and well admit it artists covers doesn't show much of the profeshionalism there xD so I dunno why we're so surprised here lol

ayu is so beautiful in the shoot

omg those lips 0_0

^ same reaction, but everything else come out nice >_<

It looks like Ayu is the queen there :laugh Thanks for sharing~

both of them really look like a couple..
hahaa~~ wish to see making off vid instead of pics.

The making video.
(Was the video posted before? Sorry if I posted it again. XD)

^ wow thanks a lot for sharing!

i never seen the making before...
thank you!

^^ Oh wow! thanks for sharing! haven't seen this before

who taught her to make her mouth like this...OMG *facepalm* :thud

OyTony thank you!

BOOBS *_*

I hate how the off shots and stuff always look better than the finished product lol

She looks so good~~

^Yeah I agree ! She looks so hot !!

^ikr!? her eyes look fierce, but close your mouth, Ayu! D:

@emiko: seriously. probably because it's way more natural though. :/

Ohh I didn`t know there was a making-video! sanks for sharing sharing.

I guess she's done a photoshoot for spring season too..can't wait, teh first shoot was great

^ she posted via twitter about new shoot,so we're waiting :)

I thought Juno is a model for Lands of Eden and Ayu just a bonus with him
it's kinda weird for me that she was alone on recent photoshoot

I used to think the same too, but we were wrong.
Anyway the shoots are nice ^_^

it's just that they understood that their latest campaign sold well only because of Ayu, so why multiply the expenses? :rolleyes

New promotion pictures of LANDS of Eden.

I like them. =D

The contacts look awful on her.

woow!! the first pic is cool! though I wish she stood in the middle Oo

in the second one she's so sexy, but her hair is such a mess....

The concept is so cool. But that face...Ayu what happened to you? She looks alien. Unreal. And not in a good way. I don't like it and I'll just pretend it never happened.....

^^And I love how she's not placed in the middle. ^_^
I also think I wanna get that white t-shirt she has in the first pic. Second pic... well I'm just ignoring that one for now. If they wanted that kinda siren-look they really pulled it off imo.

Ranting again but: I love her long strawberry hair. I would love it if she put in extensions for real and had it for the tour. :tipsy

AHHHHH SHE'S SO GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE THESE PICTURES! :3
making a new background with these!!!! So stunning Ayu!!! She's on a photo role

I'm in love with her strawberry hair!!

On the second pic her eyes look glassy or idk haha but otherwise i really like those pictures ♥

LOVE it!!!

Is it just me or does something seem really weird with her waist in the 2nd picture? :shakehead

thank you!!

i like the first pic and not really the second one =.=

The pics would have been soooo EPIC... if there never were those contact lenses... :no

The first thing i thought when i saw these pictures were.. "this is what the Sunrise/Sunset covers should have looked like"

I love them, she looks so amazing!

There is something wrong with 2nd pic...

...is that really ayu?? :dead2

first one is so gorgeous!!!
second one..looks vacant...
(her nose.. >.<)

I love the pictures, the styling, everything, I even love the contact lenses because they remind me of Don't look back, and it's also giving the photoshoot an even more surreal look.

But I don't like the way her whole body is photoshopped in the second picture... awful.

The concept is VERY cool, but PS ruins everything again, especially on the second pic! She looks like an alien! :headache

When I saw the first picture I was like; 'damnit ayu wtf is this'. BUT when I saw the second picture I was like, 'ha just kidding I love you ayu'. :laugh

I like the new photos but really... waaaaay too much Photoshop. =s

Ayu doesn't look like Japanese at all. But that doesn't mean I hate it. In fact, I love it xD

I love the first pic, the contact lenses on the second one makes me wonder a while~LOL

WOW thanks for sharing the bigger version
she looks so nice in 1st pic..
2nd pic, she has super sexy body..but her hair and make up just look so weird haha~

OMG!!!This is so amazing...

I just imagine her with short hair on the 2nd pic, and I actually realize that she would be 100+ times more gorgeous .

The Ayu is beautiful in the pictures! I liked more these pictures than with the Juno... But they're overdoing it in photoshop... The Ayu's face seems artificial...

it's definitely not just you.

i think...she did it on purpose to looks like alien..siren like...
the brand is "land of eden", a different world...maybe she want to be person that live in that land...
dunno..just assumption...

she looks fabulous though....fantastic!!!

She looks dead on first picture and overphotoshoped on second

that's what i was thinking too.

interesting.... too much photoshop on her body, and what's up with that messy hair... but i sort of like it... it's beautifully done....

hahahahaha these are terrible, she looks like a tranny in the second one. What the hell?! They look like something from an America's Next Top Model photoshoot

she dont even look japanese in the second picture.

Just a quick edit. (Just darkened the eyes a bit)

http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/s...ss/wldw0h2.jpg

The picture would have been a little bit better, if they didn't use those contacts.

Ayu's body has never been shaped like that and everyone knows it, who are they trying to kid?

I hate how her new nose stands out on her face, it's like a Mr. Potato head.

exactly, she doesnt have that body...

WOW I actually REALLY like them!

Then they could have gone with a fairy-concept or Adam and Eve (like the pictures with Junho!), because Sirens are not really friendly creatures, you know. :laugh

The contacts aren't the greatest, but I love it!
Made the one with her hand above her head my wallpaper <3

This! :yes

I don't like her eye-Colour. Would be better with her normal eye-colour.

LOL :roflmao :roflmao

New nose? I must have missed something :thud.

The photoshop. It burns. :thud

They really did not need to do that much retouching...

OMFGGG AMAZINGG

lol ok so I did a little experiment with the second pic xD I fixed the shadows on her nose, changed the eye color, shortened her neck, shortened her waist and widened her hips slightly to balance the figure cuz ayu is quite proportional also just minimally smallened the lips and fixed the shadows under them, oh and I shortened her thighs....I dunno about you guys, but i can actually now look at it.... :D

Before&after
http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/255...andafternu.jpg

big version of after


if they really ****ed up all these things with photoshop, and made her into some weird human creature, then I gotta say, they need to be kept away from photoretouching....

^ To be honest, I don't see much difference. Ayu still looks totally inhuman to me in this picture (and the second pic is not much better).

The thing that really gets me the most is her skin. Who has a skin that's so smooth and shiny and perfect?

I don't have a problem when people use PS/Topaz Clean. I use it myself when I make graphics, but I know when to stop and that's when the person starts to look like an alien!

Your edit made this picture look so much better! She should be rid of those contacts! Everyone prefers brown-eyed girls anyways. :ywink

Her nose looks like something straight off of Mt. Rushmore.

This photoshoot is just so awkward looking. All these magazine shots and promotional things don't even look like her anymore!

Look at how terrible the photoshop job is on the arm with the bracelets.

I don't notice much of a difference either. Really, I don't think it's that serious. Stars are photoshopped to death everyday. :shrug
