Ayu has a "Diva Status", so everyone is expecting ultra expensive PVs and glamorous covers. I also expect more from Ayu, and when a not-that good song comes i think is worse than it actually is. So i decided to not have enormous expectacions for FIVE, i will let Ayu be a "normal" artist (even if I'm sure I will enjoy FIVE)

I think it's the same with Kumi and For You got critizised, too for not being thaaaat good.
So not only Ayu has that status;)

^I personally adore for you because it's so summery. :D

And I've also decided not to expect too much from Ayu. I did so with Love songs and RnRC and noticed how amazing both albums were. It's a good way so I'll do the same with FIVE. :)

A good way to minimize expectations about a new release is to not read through every post in the news topics as well! I know this is a weird thing to say on an internet forum XD, but when I only read up on posts containing information and ignored the rest for quite a few recent releases, I didn't get influenced by all the posts already praising it in the heavens, or all the posts that hated it from the get-go, or all the criticism about the covers and the promotion, and all the overly positive "AWESOME" posts. I mean, sometimes it's nice, but they do mess with the way you yourself view a product.

Anyway, I loved this release, and then when I checked back most people hated it. I'm pretty sure that if I had read through the topic I would've been much more negatively inclined towards the release...

hmm I think since Ayu joined Avex, it's not entirelly about Ayu anymore. She became a part of the company. It becomes sort of a team work, if they have profesionals working everything should look good. I mean yeah tastes are tastes but somehow from such a huge company as Avex I expect better artistic stuff than I see now. Like if you have a great thing then represent it nicelly too and do the job 100% till the very end, details are also a part of the overall look and just as importaint as the main thing. But that's just my point of view...

I hope Leslie Kee as photografer from this mini album, Leslie is my favorite ayu's photografer, if Leslie do it, ayu's album always looks gorgeous, example MY STORY.

I hope FIVE cover album will make with indoor photoshot concept, in a studio. I were borred with outdoor photoshoot for her album. Time by time, from GUILTY to Love songs.

nanakopy87 21st July 2011 07:02 AM
leslie will shoot for the covers + 1 of the PV

What are some photoshoots that Leslie has done for Ayu? I want to know why everyone has always been so damn obsessed with him and his work he has done with Ayu...

Her album/ single covers have been gorgeous, but some magazine photoshoots are terrible

roanmy 21st July 2011 09:51 AM
I had no idea he did RAINBOW and SECRET, they are some of my favorites!
Though I still prefer Shimoko's covers (Days/GREEN, NNEXT LEVEL, MW, A BEST 2).

Aderianu 21st July 2011 10:20 AM
Leslie tries to show full Ayu's body
Kazu - only face
