Aww she looks so cute! I can't wait to see all of the pictures, I love everything about this one.

I LOVE IT! can't wait for scans~

What is that little bracelet? She wears it often

LOL Her arm IS missing... didn't even notice. I was just happy about her face lol.

kabbalah bracelet that Madonna and other American celebs wears! google it! either that or an anorexia bracelet, but I think it's a kabbalah bracelet because ayu is such a poseur sometimes! first is was the faux Christian crosses for jewelry, now it's kabbalah. haha!

She's probably religiously diverse, that doesn't make her a poseur. Many people all over the world wear crosses more as a fashion statement than actually idolizing it anyways.

Awww she's so cute, she looks gorgeous.
The positioning of her arm is really unnatural,
But she is so pretty on this cover ^__~

I really love the way she looks on this cover! :heart

I like it. :) Thanks.

im so glad she looksnormal again!! the previous photoshoot with her dark skinned was very bad, this one is so cute!

Not an awesomely fantastic cover, but at least a lot less akward looking than her other recent mag shoots.

Woo~!! Finally! pretty Ayu comes out! Yay!!

It's okay...Not my favorite though.

I don't think it's because of religion

Because the other day, I was watching a show and the host gave her guest a pink string instead, apparently that string is to boost your popularity, but other strings can boost your work, love, family, etc.

my comment is actually a joke. but do you know about the red string kabbalah bracelet? i doubt ayu's red string is a kabbalah bracelet, but kabbalah is like the trendy religion that pretentious celebs like Madonna and a whole crapload of celebs "worship" *cough* now. That or scientology. If Ayu's string is in fact a kabbalah bracelet, which I DOUBT, then she is INDEED, a poseur. And of course I know the cross is a fashion statement, but whether or not someone considers that a poseur is something else. For example, some skateboarders consider people who don't skateboard and wear vans poseurs, yet vans is a popular shoe among Asian youth. In truth, Vans shoes were originally skater boy shoes but somehow got mainstream. Same with Cross jewelry that perhaps Madonna made popular among non-Jebus believers, but she was brought up as Catholic and had a deeply religious upbringing. But if you want my opinion, a lot of Asian fashion is poseurish, trying to be something they're not, without truly developing individual fashion from lifestyle. But it's all good fashion for the sake of fashion, I GUESS.

^ Ok, I understand what you mean.

First word pop in my head when I saw this cover
