It'll be out early August, that's how Japanese magazines work :)

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed the Paris Hilton thing! It looks like Ayu and Paris' faces were meshed together or something.

nooo, I don't like it :no

hope inside pics will be better

i LOVE it. the concept is great! love the styling and her long hair! this should be the album cover instead.

Lovely cover~

So horrible OMG she looks like a tranny
Why the **** do they photoshop her that much?

FFS THEY SERIOUSLY NEED TO STOP DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING. The styling is nice but good godness WTF is this???:shakehead even a blind person would do a better job on photoshopping her than they do... my sweet mother of cows...

PS doesn't really bother me much. Maybe because I don't stare at the photo that hard. Idk. Thank goodness I'm not sensitive to overphotoshopping or I'd never like ayu's photos I guess, like some people.

When I first saw it I LOVED it. And I thought it very much so looked like ayu. Especially since I always thought ayu's nose looked weird, similar to this lol

I really like this cover. I hope the inside pics are as nice. I love the style too, the hair is gorgeous.

Thanks for sharing, Karen :)

I guess its always like that in japan (only? dunno) couse I haven't seen that in other countries. Its April issue in March etc~

Paris Hilton comes right on my mind when i saw this.
but at least, she has wavy long hair and she smiles =))

I think she looks fine.

She looks fun and youthful. :)

Excited to see the rest!

I just think it's funny how no other artist in their respective threads can ever do any wrong, lol (most of the time). But whatever. :)

oh dear lord yeah :D

Her smile looks really awkward... which is a shame because I love her natural smile :c This looks like it's going to be an awesome photoshoot though!

Her hair and makeup and very pretty (loving the flower headband, too!), but holy hell that nose. :tired It looks gigantic and really misshapen. Plus, you can visibly see that they screwed up on photoshopping, because you can see a giant white streak going up and across her nose towards the bridge. Unless that's just terrible makeup they forgot to photoshop OUT.

Seriously this photo would be FLAWLESS if not for the nose. The over-tan skin + harsh lighting emphasize it too, it's just terrible. And it makes Ayu look much older than she is. So unfortunate. Cuz the smile, the flowers, her hair, all SO pretty.

ayu looks gorgeous in this cover! :heart now i can't wait to see the photoshoot. :)

yeah, something's wrong with her nose. she looks older :/

@sugarbasil: though I agree that it's a bit misshapen. I don't think it's too gigantic. I'm pretty sure ayu's nose tends to look that size when she smiles like that.

Jesus I love it! She looks really Western for some reason but I like it. <3
