I'm sure she'll never sing untitled for her again

It'll be the first time I won't buy Numero Tokyo that features Ayu. The photoshoot could have been good but the editing is bad and make her expressions weird in most of the pics. On the window's one she even looks like a plastic doll. She looks so good in the video and the outcome in photo is :no

I was really looking forward to buying this as soon as I'm back in Tokyo, but besides two good pics, the cover and one of those in the sprakly black dress, everything else looks pretty horrible. The one outside could have been great, but this expression is just no. The ones with the bunny ears are as cliché as it can get and just boring, not to mention her expression again... and what the hell is this pic with her on the desk? I need Celest Barber to make a parody of this, would be great material I think. :laugh
The promotional video looked so good, but the outcome is very disappointing. =(

The one of her kicked back in the couch is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.

Great photos, especially the one showing off her tattoo! Oh and the one on the couch and the one where she's holding the shoe. That navy dress is gorgeous!

Dunno why but I felt a certain type of WAY when I saw her insta post. “I am shining because I am a Tokyo girl”!!! The gyaru in ayu is still alive after all. But I think she looked beautiful.

The quality of the scans is not good enough to read the interview properly.
I can make out some parts, but not in full.
Like she says cause A^3 is a special live for only 2 days, the setlist is going to consist of songs she made a survey for - but then the sentence goes on.
After that I think she's asked if she wants to do another year with a considerable amount of tour dates and she answers something with halls and arenas.

Same here, I was expecting a few more pictures since the video made it seem like they had so many ideas going on during the shooting. I wonder if there was a deal with the photographer and they'll use some of the leftovers as promo materials eventually? I'm here for Bunny Ayu tour goodies~

This. :tipsy

I’m just happy to see her in a magazine again! I like the vibe of this shoot and I wish we did get to see more!

Yeah it must have been hard for the photographer to narrow down to the best few photos of the shoot. She probably only had a certain number she could show, I'm sure she'd love to have shown more!

This one is perfection https://i.imgur.com/M9dmnKY.jpg
Her pose, setting, expression, outfit.. the black and white is done beautifully, just the right amount of contrast. I agree this would have been a better photo shoot for the Party Queen album.

Hmm, I don't mind her sexier photoshoots (such as the lingerie she did a few years back) but for some reason this one kinda missed the mark for me.

It doesn't appear totally natural, but that could just be me. I think I'm a little bored of bunny ears.

Edit: however, I love the cover. Her smile is very real. Wish it was used for an album or single :P

Just saw the magazine on the stores yesterday. It looks really nice!

Updates first post with images from digital version that I bought, they are slightly bigger - 1600x2048. Please credit me if you repost it, I played puzzle game for too long.

Thank you very much for your effort <3

these pictures look like Party Queen meets Sexy Little Things

How were you able to play the puzzle game? It's pretty annoying (saw that on Twitter).

Really annoying. I use guidelines at photoshop so I was able to select pieces carefully. Not familiar with slice tool

The one with the hat and the beautiful light dress is my favorite. The setting is perfect. I love the pose. And I love the hint of her shoe under the dress. I wish I could see it because it looks fab as well.

I would definitely love more of those shots.

Honestly the only one I dont care much for is the close up one with the toy as her expression did not come out as well there.
