@nootak

Uhhh I first saw the lips... again @.@

her lips not bad, I think =)

Interesting... I like it I think.

No her lips are actually fine if you compare to her latest work. That picture makes me really intrigued actually. I want to see more! :D

Her lips aren't bad at all. She looks like a mermaid! I love it! :)

Thanks for sharing!

It seems ayu likes to work with Leslie a lot..

I like the idea of photobook.

this looks like the shoot with pink hair and green contact.

another photobook... v_v But I really like the cover!

she totally looks so gorgeous here, nothing is weird~!
and it's actually remind me of naked talk.

Stunning! I want a copy!

I really like the title. Cute.
She looks really nice, but I'd have to see pictures from the book before rushing into an opinion. ^^;

she looks great and sexy..
i love it

I like it. Wondering bout the inside pictures though :D

Is it possible to buy one ? ^^

oo. a new photobook. this is no doubt wayy better than the album cover..

She looks good even that the wig is really fake.

so this is the photoshoot with pink hair. She's stunning though :luv2

Lips look good and she's very beautiful!

the famous Anteprima wire bag :)

how can COLORS of hope be black n white? -_-

shield? xD

she's holding on to something like this:

Anteprima is famous for their 'wirebag'. Not exactly cheap though. ayu was sent the Hello Kitty version as a gift last time.

http://i42.tinypic.com/29v2uv.jpg

wow.. wish i could get it! they cover looks amazing!

She looks stunning!

i'd prefer it without the wig but still gorgeous.

Oh I see. Thank you ! I thought at first was a cactus toy :laugh

the hello kitty bag is cute!

I Was just gunna say how she looked like a mermaid too!!!! :)

mermaid.

This looks great :)

Beautiful!!!!!

OMG! This is exactly what I wanted! Reminds me a lot of the NAKED TALK shoot, but she looks gorgeous with her Barbie-haircute :)

wow!.. She's soooooooooooo beautiful!! :heart

her faces looks just ugh.... I hate that expression, I don't get why photographers just her tell the truth and say it is doing her no favors

anyway the models in it are boring,so pass

I like it actually. I think the lips are fine this time. :P

I like it but her lips man wtf

her lips look fine/normal to me :shrug
she could have done this again http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/917/lipsv.jpg

This is probably the pink hair shoot~

Her lips are fine. Do people forget that some people actually do have lips?

Long haaaiiirrr!! I don't care if it's a wig, Ayu with long, flowing Rapunzel hair is my favourite. Slight exaggeration, but it feels like she's had her short hair forever - by Ayu standards that is.

Her lips look nice here, she looks amazing, this best have pink hair.

I swear, long hair alone makes me gush a thousand times more, she could do the best concept ever with short hair and I'd probably just not be able to get over her short hair lol

^i kinda have a feeling it's from that pink wig photoshoot...

am i the only one who gets the vintage, I Dream Of A Jennie wibe there? :laugh also I really really like the shot! she looks NORMAL for once xD

also to those who missed the thing.. those in the picture on the first page are the INVITATION cards not the photobooks xD

Gorgeous picture!! I don't think that blue background fits the picture though, but the picture itself is gorgeous <3


EDIT: She's holding a bag? Seriously??? For me it looked like her CAROLS hat from MY STORY TOUR LOL

Yeah, since ANTEPRIMA is sponsoring[?] the photobook like Tiffany did for LOVE&HOPE, most of the photoshoots are going to feature their bags.

I love how many pics are in this realese <3 Omg, I can't wait for pics! For album! For everything.

Btw, I love the picture! Her lips are ok!

Nope.

I'm glad she has long hair, but I hate that the wig looks like she got it from the Dollar Tree.

yep, vintage, even a little pin-up vibe, sth 60-70th

Oh.. I really like it. Hope, we can see it in HQ soon.

Her lips are gorgeous wtf. People be cray.


I love her hair so much, but yeah, the wig is a little too obviously fake....but oh well. And I like her expression, and that her body doesn't look awkward~~

Yey :D

I can totally see it's a wig, looks kinda cheap.
I also don't like her face. This picture could've been totally gorgeous but once again everything is ruined because of that mouth. I loved her wig's color too, but they had to put it in black & white again (weird since it's called "Colors of Hope" :laugh ).

I like this cover, she looks absolutely gorgeous! Ayu reminds me of a mermaid here for some reason, I think it's the hair and how it looks all flowy :D

Not a huge fan of the wig or lips, but otherwise, loving the concept!

this is beautiful picture of her

I wonder if this is the field shoot that Aura asked about.

Pretty good, not so crazy about it, but still good.

Her lips look okay on this one. Gorgeous.

Her hair looks like a wig and its kinda annoying, but I like it overall.

^ It IS a wig. XD

She looks nice. Like a mermaid. I hope we get to see all of the pictures.

So....how will this be sold? I want one. xD

The field shoot was probably the one how beautiful you are's jacket came from. I wonder what they're gonna do with all of those shots, to be honest.

This one appears to have been done with the light pink wig and green contacts about a week ago as she didn't even have anything close to pink hair back when they were in London. In fact, I remember she touched up her blonde hair and even cut it a bit while in London.

I really like the colors. She looks good. :-)
I'll prob go and pick one up...

I bet the majority of them will be sold at the exhibition. If any are sold online, they'll be even more limited I'd assume.

I wonder if they'll be available on Amazon.co.jp in the same way that LOVE&HOPE was available?

I can see them doing another LOVE&HOPE+FIVE deal but with COLORS OF HOPE+Party Queen if there's enough demand for the shots.

I think she looks great! :luv2 The wig is obvious, but I really love her pose! But...why did she wear a pink wig if it was just going to be in black/white? lol

Hope there are colored pictures inside *_*

lol!

she looks great in this but yeah, the wig is very fake.

I like it!!!!

so this is her long pink hair goes!

I do love the pink hair :heart

KIT CHAN? Why is she there?

Anyway, ayu's wig looks awful. I want her natural long hair!

mte :D
I love the shoot, she's not weird looking nor really over the top
just classy and sexy

^well..a Singaporean photographer photographing a Singapore artiste..is quite normal right? lol

I like it. Love her long hair, her lips aren't too "fishy," and I like classy half nude shots :)

I like it :love
It would be amazing if they chose this picture for the album cover!

LOVE it! Best recent shot~
Thanks for sharing!

yaaay for Ai Tominaga and Kiko Mizuhara! don't care about ayu that much :laugh

Love this!
Beautiful shot :)
Thank you for posting.

it is stunning! from all new released pics this one is probably the best! :luv2

Looks great :heart I just wish the wig was a bit less obvious lol

^^That's how I feel lol

how i read it in my mind: ayu yey, bla bla bla bla aya ueto - wow nice all i need now is horikita maki-chan n imma buy this ****.. bla bla ba bla OMG MAKI-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN :luv2 :heart

where can i orded iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit?????

edit: i googled it n here's another pic... it's really small :O http://storage.canalblog.com/81/15/430409/73415502.jpeg

oh wow, I thought they were like oversized lol

This small one are not the books, this is an invitation card for the exhibition.

The tweet to the picture:
LESLIE KEE ‏ @lesliekeesuper

Inviting all of u to see the exhibition #colorsofhope RT @nootak Ryan holding lovely『COLORS OF HOPE』invitation cards

^ah so ah so... :)

She looks gorgeous, and I love the hairstyle, but it looks a little too wig-ish.

luv *-*

It's really pretty, but the wig stands out way more than anything else does. It looks too much like a wig, which is kinda a stupid thing to say, considering that it IS a wig, and she wears wigs all the time, but her wigs usually blend in a whole lot better, and this is obvious.

Fix the wig, and this would be peeeerfect.

I love this shot - she looks so glamorous <3

I don't mind the wig, I think this picture should have been the album cover lmao.

She's gorgeous! One of her best for me since Love songs covers!

Ooooh, so he is the Ryan ?
Cute :heart

^ lol.. i was totally going to say who is the cutie holding the pictures... lol, but someone already said.


I like the wig! Although I do think that it looks a little to fake on the sides next to her face.
Almost like it is too thick or something.

She's a stunning mermaid here!!

I love that Jonte and Andrej Pejic are in this, haha. They're both men.

If you've never heard of or seen Andrej, search for him. He is -extremely- androgynous and models both men's and women's clothing.

He has even modeled for bra advertisements and he doesn't have any breasts! haha

^Andrej's so pretty! :heart

I heard that he's known for being the "Muse" of Jean-Paul GAULTIER (French clothes-designer). And yes, he actually does runways for both Men and Women clothing :yes

you know what.. this cover match to "Party Queen" album title..

HQ picture!
GORGEOUS!
