The best she's done this year! I hope there are more kimono pics inside.

haha.... yeap, and i kinda realise those mouth comments are like coming from non-asians... (Just a random observation)...

ayu + kimono = :heart

She looks cute. ^.^ And the lips like this are fitting for that kind of photoshot, somehow.

Wow! I like this cover very much!!

wow, that's such a cute cover! i hope for good scans.

oh wow it's been a while since ayu wears a kimono and thats cute!

modern kimono deasnt exist, kimono isnt anything what should be anyhow moderned...she chose such a wonderfull one and she looks great on the cover even without the modern one...

let's say that Ayu needs to wear more kimonos. hahaha, modern or not, that's another story...

and well, those lips can be used for so many things...

Melrose's comment... hahahaha

glu glu glu glu (spanish onomatopoeia for the sound of a fish in the sea)

It is! No joke! I dunno why people complain about it sometimes

I have ordered it on Amazon , shipping cost are OUTCHH !

OMG!! xD Love the kimono but hair is a little... weird lol
And she looks too photoshoped i think :( Oh well.. hope it won't be too much. Thanx for the cover :)

Ayu looks gorgeous as always! The mouth really isn't too bad this time around. ;)

Oh.. nice. But.. I will talk about the mouth.... again that facial expression. (-.-)'''
BUt... can't wait to see the inside Pictures.

OMG CUTE!!! AH!! I can buy the taiwanese version of this!!! <33333

I cannot wait for scans, I will be obtaining a new set with these for sure

ayu is suteki~~ kawaii~!!!
this is very cute~!!!
I love ayu+kimono 2~

Ayu kinda looks like leah dizon on the cover. I think its the contacts. Very pretty!

so pretty! ^^ thanks!

She looks beautiful! It's been a while since she last wore a kimono. :luv2

Me neither. But I do think there are some photographers that makes the fishmouth more appealing than others.

It's probably the best (or perhaps the easiest) expression to make that shows off minimum lines around her face (not that they don't photoshop it, but still...)

At least that comes from my personal observations...

i think that's a kimono for new year...
kawaii!!

yaii.. I love she wears kimono. thanks,Bro

SEXY!!!

OMG OMG!!!
very cute....

Ooh, I like it! :D

Thanks for sharing!

me neither, I guess they loooove to make big deals out of nothing, they are obsessed with it.

I have no problem with her expressions in the right content they look good, and I'm loving the cover.

So cutee~ <3 I must get this magz a.s.a.p~ XDD

Hmmm i don't really like the cover..but thanks anyway!

she looks so cute in a kimono XD

That's not true. It's annoying to look at ayu and have a feeling she has some kind of drooling daydream moment, when she doesn't. Most of the times, the fish lips are actually very unappealing, and to be honest, ayu doesn't pull that well. I don't think she pulled it well in this picture either. I liked when she was more natural about her pose. I have a feeling that ayu sometimes gets obsessed with something "new" she learns, and then she overkills it up to becoming a little pathetic. Like oh "so this is a vibrato, I've learned how to do it. Let me put it everywhere in every single part of a new song". "Oh I know how to say yeah yeah yeah, and La La La. Let me put them in every freaking song". "Oh so this is how you make a cool sexy pose, let me copy it from this porno star in order to show my newly Donatella Versace-like collagen injected fake lips? Let me do this in every single picture I take from now on, because I can only be sexy if I show my suckerfish lips." Tbh, that's rather goofy. I don't mind it as much as I'm complaining here, but if some people have been complaining about it, it doesn't mean they're being unreasonable. To me ayu either wants to show how much her lips have been injected or she has some really bad cavity that's been making it painful for her to close her mouth on photoshoots..or must be seizres due to the flashlights. Because sexy, with that mouth, she's far from it :laugh Just because one picture is saved over other hundred, doesnt mean she does it well..Like that disco ball picture that looks ridiculous..I can't even stare at that one :laugh

i don't think ayu is at all like that, way to think the worst of somebodies personality that you're supposedly a fan of :S

Then why does she sometimes pick some kind of mannerism and abuse it to death? This is not the first time I've seem it. Sometimes it makes ayu a little amateur to be honest. It's not a judgement of her personality, it's something that she shows often, and some people get bothered by it, and other people can't tell they are wrong, because she's indeed overdoing it. Plus, being a fan is not about saying ayu rocks and rolls in everything, so don't try to pull that card on me :laugh

also being a good fan isn't judging someone on every little thing that they do to the point that you've typed up practically a whole essay based on their lips :shrug

Again you pull a senseless card on me :shrug I'm a fan of ayu and her music, but I don't have to love every single detail in her. That's absurd. About something I want to criticize, I can write a whole book about it, still doesn't mean how lesser or more of a fan I am. This is a forum for discussions, not solely worshipping. If you think people are only allowed to post how much they love every single detail in ayumi hamasaki, then there would be no discussion, and I'd be out of this forum ages ago. When i want to comment at how amazing she looks I'll do, when I want to comment at how terrible she looks, I'll do it. Doesn't matter in how many pages I write it. If you didn't like my comment, ignore it, report it, or bring something reasonable up to discussion, but don't bring this "you're lesser or more of fan" just because oyu dislike people who say something different from "love" towards ayu, because that's not the subject of this thread.

I love how you go into these threads and there's always people arguing, there are always people who absolutely NEED to find something wrong with everything, and people who absolutely NEED to argue with these people.

It's annoying.

she looks beautiful!
*waits for scans*

HAHA!! yup i am about to... but its a positive comment!!
i think it loook okay here, not that weird, or maybe im already used to it!!
STILL A PRETTY PICTURE!! :D

she looks gorgeous

Shу is so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.

Also, can I say I'm very glad that a magazine finally put a black/dark background? One of the things that bothers me about some of the other magazines is that the light background makes the picture look really overexposed. So hopefully the inside will continue to go with a darker background.

And I'm willing to bet that Kazu Shimomura is the photographer. I noticed the fishlips tend to show up with him photographing, as well as the more unnatural looking poses.

Really nice! Something a little different.
