Thanks for this thread! Simply amazing!

I just really would like to know if there is any information about Kazuyoshi Shimomura's biography or anything related to his life and works.

I've been looking for his biographic info but haven't found anything yet :( I don't even think he's in wikipedia lol

I need this info for one of my study projects :) I would really appreciate it!



EDIT: I actually found a little bit about his biography (from his website), and the only thing missing right now is his inspiration, where does his influences come from? Seems to be a hard question since I have no idea which artists or photographers he inspires from :/ This is hard! lol

Updating with ayu-mi-x 7 information and AT10 when I get it.

ayu-mi-x 7 - Kazutaka Nakamura

Leslie Kee is the best :D
I quite dislike Kazuyoshi Shimomura's work in fairyland. kinda blurry ~_~

Keita Haginiwa made some old CM photoshoots
http://www.haginiwa.com/works/

How to read this name?

It's read as Shimomura Kazuyoshi (下村 一喜), haha.

it's unbelievable how her best works ever meant as covers and booklets are featuring leslie kee

damn %)

So...what happened to Keita Haginiwa? :O

I love all the covers done by him...

Probably just stopped working with Ayu for whatever reason.

Apparently Keita Haginiwa did some work with Kitano Kie [a new artist]... who has also worked with BOUNCEBACK (composer/arrangers that worked with Ayu from 2003-2005ish) so it's not like he disappeared, haha.

http://www.twitter.com/leica9haginiwa - his Twitter

maybe ayu will eventually work with him again :3

i feel like leslie kee will end up like shimomura, and ayu will use him regularly for a little while, and then he'll disappear again haha.

but who knows, he does live in another country :P

That seems to have happened with most photogs and Ayu, lol.

Shimomura, ND CHOW, Kazutaka Nakamura, formerly Leslie...

I wonder what kinds of shots they've made for this era.

she worked with leslie the most for her albums :love

I wonder if she'll use him for another 3 or 4 years straight again :laugh
