What's your favorite Ayu Photo?

[Louass]

I see Ayu getting so much crap for the way she looks in photographs over the past few years, but while looking at old photoshoots for photos to use for graphics I was quickly reminded that this woman has taken some seriously GORGEOUS photos in the past. And I mean, in my opinion, she still does to this day.

So let's share and talk about our favorite Ayu photos, shall we!?
They can be from social media, concert photos, or professional photoshoots. All's fair game! (If it's a large photo please be considerate and put it under a spoiler)

I have about 1,345,123.95 favorite photos of this woman, tbh, but I'll go ahead and just share one to start

This has definitely been one of my all time favorite photos of Ayu, idk why but seriously who could ever dislike a beauty like this! I question my sexuality every time I see it, lol

(PS I apologize if a thread like this already exists, I tried looking for one but the Search bar doesn't work for me. I tried scrolling around and looking for it, but I'm pretty damn blind so the chances of missing it are pretty high, lol)

[Uknow!]

I love so much the photo you posted.

It's difficult to choose but I'm going to post the first image that came to my mind.

Then this:



I'm into big hair atm.

Those are all such lovely photos! I think my favorite photo of Ayu will always be the RAINBOW cover.

this is hard to choose... so I'll post first that came to my mind



I love this hair color

[Louass]

Yo I love her with dark hair so much!! I know she's said blonde is her favorite and I keep seeing people saying they hope she goes back to blonde soon but I just hope she goes darker and darker, lol




Has she ever gone fully black? I know she's done super dark brown but I can't remember if I've ever seen her with pure black hair.

(I got bored and decided to do a quick edit for her with black hair, lol)

I LOVE everything she wore in that magazine! All was edgy, glam and a bit rockish.

BLUE BIRD photoshoot

One of many favorites.

^Omg I don't think I've ever seen that picture, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
Is there a whole photoshoot or just the one photo?

[Toniayu123]

^Me neither, it's gorgeous...
I love 2010 calendar, specially the one she is on the water (i think it was for July or August).
http://ayukuufan.blogspot.com.es/200...ndar-2010.html I remember reading bad comments when it was released but I loved it, same with Sunrise/Sunset covers which are from the same shot. I like when she looks fake and over photoshopped, I think I'm kind of an exception lol.
Also Ayu-mi-x IV + Selection Acoustic Orchestra Version cover. I have the LP size poster, if I met her someday I'll ask her to sign it for me.

[Louass]

^OMG, I have a giant poster of that water picture in my room! (One of my exes actually gave it to me for my birthday...I broke up with him a week later but kept the poster, lmao. I was such a piece of shit back then) People didn't like that calendar when it came out? o_o I love all those pictures! But the one where she's in the water is definitely my favorite. If the poster wasn't so huge I would totally ask her to sign it too, if I ever met her

There is more! It is part of a photobook that was released many years ago. I'm still trying to buy a copy.
You can download the entire photobook here: https://jpopcdcovers.wordpress.com/2...%81%BF-a-book/

[Louass]

^YOOOOO I'm in LOVE with that photobook! Thank you so much for sharing!
I wish she did photobooks like this again, some pictures are super amazing. And I even appreciate the ones that aren't so special

She looks like a fluffy kitten with those feather nails!

[EndOfTheWorld]

You're welcome!
It is maybe my top favorite photobook of her's. I would love another photobook from Ayu.
It's been a while now.

Literally the first photo I thought of was the 2007 (?) shoot where she has long brown hair with a rose and is somewhat sensual looking with her legs somewhat exposed in a white robe (?), and you literally posted a photo from the same photoshoot in the OP and I'm so happy and in love. This photoshoot has been my favorite for almost 10 years now.

Seriously I have so many favorite pictures but this photoshoot is the first one I ever think about, every part about it is so perfect.
Even love the photos where she's dressed as a man with a mustache and everything, haha. But I mean this one just
