Leslie Kee wants Ayumi Hamasaki in new book (confirmed)
Ayu may be be on the new Leslie Kee book, Super Stars, a book with the biggest japanese stars. There'll be superstars from every decade, like Namie Amuro from the 90s and Yumi Matsutoya from the 80s.

And I found an interesting news piece from www.akinanakamori.com

Quote:
It is official ... I have just received an email from my dearest friend, Leslie Kee that includes the following excerpt:

"I am now working on the possibility to photograph our Superstar Nakamori Akina, as I am going through Ayumi Hamasaki to help me contact her"

He is currently working on his newest and biggest book called "Superstars" and he has photographed many Japanese stars on it including 安室奈美恵 and 石川さゆり . His interview and a collage was included in the newest Japanese Harper's Bazaar January issue. You can also read more of the contents of the email and see a cap of the interview on my blog.

Hopefully, he will be able to finally get to Akina and include her in time for the publication. He has also previously mentioned his dream of photographing all the 80's idols in a single book. He has photographed Kyon2 and Miho amongst the 80's top idols and have spoken to Seiko once at a Karaoke for an hour or so (no, she didn't sing). Matsutya Yumi is his close friend and Akina is the only one that he has yet to photograph and would really love to. He said that he will tell her about this big fan (me) that lives in Australia now and I will tell him to include everyone here too! He also said before that I will be one of the first he will notify when this dream comes true!
And if you don't know who Leslie Kee is:

Quote:
"I've never seen anything like it," says Leslie Kee, the Singaporean celebrity and fashion photographer who shot Hamasaki's past three album covers. "She controls every detail of her image. She knows what she wants, likes, needs, hates, and is very, very particular."
edit: I tought it was confirmed, but it isn't. As Leslie Kee is Ayu friend, both are interested in having her in the project, but her schedule is very busy , so it's not confirmed if she'll be in the book. The shootings aren't over yet, so she can be in it, but that's not confirmed. Sorry... But she's still involved in the project, helping Leslie to contact Akina Nakamori.

Mid-april 2006 and Leslie Kee will spent the rest of the year traveling Asia to promote the book.

According to his website [http://www.super-sonic.jp/top.html], he did the covers from RAINBOW, My Story, & (single), one of her remix albums (the ones she's like a geisha) and Memorial Address. No idea if he did (miss)understood, but I don't think so, they probably used an american photographer [it would be cheaper than bring a photographer from Japan]

Some pics from the book: http://www.geocities.com/jamezle71/S...sInterview.jpg. There's no Ayu in it

Well, maybe Ayu will be featured later...

I like Leslie Kee's photography, though. And it's interesting to see who all is listed in the book so far [from your link]. ^^
