Ayu 2011 Calender Cover is Out
 

So beautiful!!!

lol 1st glance on ayumi's 2011 calendar cover -> Kana Nishino

it's nice though but I feel her facial expression's a bit dead there :x

OMG THE SETTING IS BEAUTIFUL, and so is her outfit! I can't wait to see more pics. I just dislike her expression and that horrible font.

It's pretty... good.

errr... her expression is so bleeeh x_x
And the writing too.

omg...what's with the font??!!! :dead2

But everything else looks great! :love

Loving the Kana calendar!

This would be the most gorgeous picture if her expression wasn't so... 'like a doll'. :-/

Cannot be bothered with the font, I'm just going have to resign myself with the fact that whoever is in charge of these things on her team are completely amatuerish.

pretty! love the background~ but i prefer the font not to be italic ..i like the A logo thou

GORGEOUS.

haha yeah kana's expression in that cover xD
love it but hate the font

I LOVE THIS COVER!!!!! (OAO)

beautiful!

Oh My God,She look damn gorgeous !!! :luv2:luv2

nice!!!

That's some cheap font.

But she looks nice. I thought she had a fake beauty mark on her upper lip, but it was a spec on my computer screen :-\ haha

She looks so great ! love it !

This exactly. It's all amazing except for the look on her face and the font.

i love it...
she looks so pure and innocent..

love it!

horrible font placement (it would looks better if it would be centered... >.>)
horrible font (!)
horrible HAT

but her face even a bit stoned.. looks very pretty. <3

I think the expression suits her, it would be better if she was smiling but it might look a bit out of place, I think, especially with the background and clothing. I like it regardless. ^_^

I don't get what's wrong with her facial expression,
she looks just fine. I think people r just concentrating to much on the lips part.
I mean, compare the calender cover with Sunrise/Sunset~LOVE is ALL~ cover & u can tell what's mean by dead facial expression.

and this cover wins over her past years' calenders' covers.

She looks like she's back to her pre-2007 period & I love the cover.

Hrmmmmmm...

My first thought:

Gorgeous!

People are you still not used to her expressions? :laugh

Who said anything about lips? I think she just has this boring, blah expression is all. :-/

it's okay, I like this cover more than last year's ^^

woww it's gorgeous!
can't wait for the inside pics!

Haha I wan her to be fierce!!!!

The cheap font hurts so, so much. Whoever is in charge must have had a loooong week and gave up. Another than that, she looks good.

i thought her face was okay, eh..

anyway, this is so gorgeous omg looks like it will be a very suburban/countryside calendar?

very sweet

She has the same feeling in the cover as she has on Love songs cover. I kind of like this relaxed and sweet feeling I get for some reason.

BUT she looks like Kana Nishino. Lately I've been mislooked Ayu as Kana too often. D: Oh well, at least Ayu's beautiful in the pic. :)

OMG, that's a f-ing gorgeous cover! :heart :heart

and you're right 'bout Kana's expression :laugh

and thank god she used my favorite hairstyle, her best hair like in 2006-2007 during Secret era!

Perfect!

why such long nails???!!! -__-

nice but do not adore it

lol

I love itt!! so much better than last year's, I love love love it... can't wait to see the rest ^__^ merci

The font's horrible but she looks nice.

It's okay. She looks nice and natural but I don't really like her facial expression.
I hope the other pics will be better :)

It doesn't look 2010 to me. It looks like they shot they way earlier or something :P Of course they didn't, and the picture is very cool! =) Looking forward to the rest of the pictures~~

I feel as the calendar will be different from what she did before.
thanks

Really beautiful :) But yeah... Kana Nishino much? :laugh And apparently Ayu's graphic artist team doesn't give a damn about fonts anymore, eh :\

Still, I'm liking this one better than like, every pic of the 2010 calendar, so that's good XD

Bad word front and expression.

I love Sweet & romantic style from Ayu! Beautiful cover.
Thanks for sharing

+ Hurray for new nailart! I'm getting a little bored until new nails are out

I like the setting and all, but her fish lips again?
At least she looks pretty..

I think it's super pretty! <3

I love it. I think she looks totally beautiful. I'm not in love with the font, either...but it's OK. I can forgive it for the beautiful picture!
Thanks so much for sharing~
And by the way...the fish lips/duck lips aren't going away anytime soon people. Either deal with it and stop complaining, or just stop looking at her photos all together.
And another side note...Kana's look is based off of Ayu's...

That font. Other than that it's alright. I like the setting they chose for the picture.

That's Sunrise/Sunset font O_O

Isn't this the MOON/blossom font? Looks quite similar. Coloring as well...

:laugh Sunrise/Sunset's font is called "Snell"! It's the same font they just used on L!!! XDD

it's okay lol

she looks nice...her expression is weird though.

I'm kind of tired of the, "lets take a picture in this pretty backyard"

Come on Ayu, do something fun and bold! I have hope for the inside pictures since she usually has interesting ones...

I hope they're not all her around this house and in the kitchen or whatever.

Awww!!! But it's cute when Ayu plays "mommy"! :laugh Like in the 2006 Calendar! (*^^*)

it's also booorrriiiiinnnggg ;P

Hopefully, it's Ayu playing "Mommy" with a machine gun!!! ;D

It's ok but I don't really like it.

She's so beautiful!:heart

that would be just lovely lol

actually, I think it would be kind of cool if her calendar was like, centered around the Last angel pv.

she did not give enough attention to the white dress outfit, where she looked the best i've seen her in years.

if this calendar is even half as good as that calendar.. I'd love it sfm. she was so damn gorgeous and natural in that calendar.

I really like her expression here, very like MOON/blossom. It's so sweet. :)

She has really big feet though... lol!!

And come on people, ayu can't be fierce all the time. You want fierce, she's just given you 3 new album PVs for that. She's a lady, let her be one sometimes. :P

I love the cover!! So glad i preordered. Hope inside pictures are just as gorgeous as the pictures for the 2010 one were. :D:D:D:D

In a sense, Ayu's like my grandmother. I will always think she's a gorgeous person, even as a little old lady someday because she is such a wonderful person.:D

And the font looks very pretty. It works well.... oh well, guess you can't please everyone....

Yeah I was also thinking about MOON/blossom. But the text have the same color scheme as the single right?

Oh that would be sooo cool!!! 8D It would also ROCK if her white outfit is a ballerina! (*^^*) :heart But that's just me! lol

VERY beautiful! :heart

I can't wait to see the rest of the pics!!

finally, a calendar shoot that doesn't look so fake & photoshopped. :rolleyes i like the cover and i hope it sets the pace for the rest of the photo's inside. :yes

Outer glow, lol. Work those lips, bb.

it looks nice overall....

I love this cover so much. Can't wait for the rest of the pictures.Love Ayu!!!

Very, very pretty!! :D I love it!! :) Can't wait to see the inside images.

The text hurts as usual, but otherwise nice. Kinda looks like she's blowing air though, lol.

Will be interesting to see the rest of the pics.

The cover is sooooo beautiful!!!!!!

Smile Ayu Smile!!!

Oh my god NO. I am SO TIRED of that stupid fish face thing. AYU, STOP THAT.

agreed.. -.- this cover is so... eww.

looks cute fresh and young, can't wait for the inside pictures :D

....maagh.. I'm really tired of that face expression of hers....:grumpy Ayu, where's that gorgeous smile and livelly eyes you showed in the photos with fans in LA? Bring that to the photoshoots with you! That's all you need sweetie <3

But...

I love the set and her outfit. very soft, nature like and feminine ^_^

I, as a fan, am ashamed for her graphic art manager though..:innocent

This is a lovely cover. I like it very much. :)

Love the Cover! It's very nice ^_^

I think that it is beautiful, but I'm getting sick of the pretty pink pastel look. Kana uses it too much too, and I am an avid fan of her. Between the two of them though, I'm getting bored. And I love pink, so it makes me sad.

You know, your first comment was my first thought aswell. She has those fish-lips she quite often uses...

For the other part, I've been thinking like this since I started like Ayu in '06. The covers and its inside just looks cheesy and tacky.

Im not really impressed but its good (we've seen worse XD)

Aw, I think it's very beautiful :heart

I've been over the fish lips for about 27 years now, but other than that, I really like it

she looks pure and sexy, a nice combination!!! *-*

thanks for posting~

Font is eww.
Expression is meh.
And what the gay is that on her head. o_o

Setting is nice though. :]

It wouldn't suprise me if the cover was token at the sweet seasons set

that's how Love songs booklet photos will probably look like. :laugh

so beautiful! :heart i love the setting & ayu's outfit! very spring/summer-ish, too. :P

Okay, i actually kinda like what she's wearing and how shes posing, without her shoes, lol. but that mouth/face expression... ;__;

It's pretty, but what's up with that font and coloring?

Definitely do not support her obsession with outer glow, but love the photo. Hopefully the inside is even better (and hopefully we get another desk calendar. When are CDL goods usually unveiled? Is it only the day of the first show?).

It's very good :) She looks absolutely beautiful, and I could even say pure. The look in her eyes reminds me of innocence.

only good thing is her body RAWR yum

That is...one big hat :laugh

I really like this cover, yep the font is cheap but seriously who cares.
She's gorgeous and she looks herself. I'm getting tired of all these 'omg she lookz like Kana Nishino!!1' when she's wearing a white dress surrounded by flowers. She's Ayu not Kana. Period.
Not her greatest cover but much better then her latest calendars imo.

^Seriously!? i loved every picture on her 2010 Calendar.

She looks pretty!!:)

^Second that:D

Wouldn't mind it if it weren't for the illusion of not wearing any underwear.
