Ayu VS Kuu ♥ Favorite 2010 calendar?

[Corvina]

Thanks cutie for the explanation!
I love this picture!

I take Kumi's, it's way more artistic. It isn't very consistent, there isn't s theme for her calendar like for Ayu's. I like Ayu's calendar, but her cute and dumb face expression on three of them kills it for me.
I like 3 pics from Ayu's, 4+cover from Kumi's - so Kuu for me.

[sanzo2011]

Ayu !
but Kuu's cover's better !

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

both are awesome!!

ayu = bali
kuu's = japan

(L)

[Andrenekoi]

Well... both of them are just looking pretty on random places... I can't see anything artistic in neither... As boring as these celebrities calendars always are...

pick Ayu cuz I'm biased

[Sandre]

Both are nice! I 'll choose Ayu.

My thoughts exactly, honey. ♥

Kuu's calenders are always gorgeous.

[aqua_crystal]

Ayu's is tbh, a BIG improvment from the previous one! But Kuu takes the win this time

The theme for Kumi's calender looks oriental to me...?

And it doesn't look that artistic in my opinion, maybe the one of her on the rock, but even then they didn't make full use of the background. She looks like she's on a pile of poo at first glance. My guess is, she's in some kind of temple or shrine? If she had taken pictures with view more interesting locations - something like this:

Spoiler:

Then yeah, I could see the art. But from what I see, it's just her posing in multiple outfits in almost similar backgrounds. No different from Ayu's really...

Neither calenders make me think of four seasons either. So I don't think it's fair to judge them on that. I mean really, how much more boring and predicable would their calenders be if they were limited on representing the seasons of each month. Why don't you just buy a regular calender then and glue their pictures on it xD;.... And I'm not singling you out personally! I just had to get this off my chest lol.

Kuu's. Ayu's is nice and all, but it's kind of plain. If I'm going to be looking at a picture everyday for a month I want it to be interesting.

[Handjan]

Ayu - I like almost all pictures, while in Kuu's only 2.

[Lee^ChaN]

Kuu wins (except for the blonde wig pic)
I only like 3 pics of Ayu's (sitting in the garden, smiling and in the water).. i HATE the cover..

[rookies]

Ayu's pics are better , imo.

Kuu's pics are taken in a temple in her hometown Kyoto, but there isn't a overall theme. In comparison to Ayu's calendar, Kuu's pics are artistic, that's the only thing I've said (especially the cover and the Zen pic). Ayu is on the safe side with her choice of pics ( setting and theme). Almost everybody likes flowers and bright colours. The only pic that stands out is the one with Ayu in the water. So yeah, that's my opinion.
And I don't comment on your post with the seasons, cause I don't care if they represents the seasons or not. And I didn't see anybody here saying something about seasons either.

[daybreak123]

I like Ayu's calendar better. I think Kuu's calendar is ok, but the only pics I really like are the second and the last one. Oh, and the cover looks good, too. But I was really happily surprised when I saw Ayu's calendar pics, they look really gorgeous. I think almost all of them are awesome. I still have to say that Ayu's calendar pics are looking quite alike but Kuu's ones are all different.

[terra]

Ayu's are more colorful and fun to see. Moreover the pictures and the style are the one I've been waiting from Ayu since she released NEXT LEVEL.

Kuu's is artistic and full of ideas, but idk for me there seem to be no emotion.

Yeah, I know it's your opinion; I respect it but I kindly disagree. And people have been mentioning the seasons thing in mostly Ayu's calender thread, but I didn't feel like making the post twice to be honest. It all came out while I was in here.

I didn't know that's where she shot this one. That's cool... And personally, I think Kuu's pictures this time around are mainly artistic, with a hint of oriental theme.... So you're both right! XP (Because whatever I say is right, of course. >.>)

The setting is in the official description used by her website and YesAsia:
http://www.yesasia.com/global/koda-k...0-en/info.html
(it's japanese, of course, but google translation does everything right this time XD )
And it was in one of her FC messages.
I still don't see a oriental theme, more japanese. But I kinda agree with it now, yes.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Both.

As Corvina, Ayu's is bright and flowery, something that almost anybody could love which is good but there's nothing really to grab you.
Kuu's is very interesting. I love the fact her pics are over the place; not one blends in with the other. The only bad pics are the blonde wig and "elephant poo" (Kuu looks more of a random anime chick than a human being. )

Koda Kumi's calendar looks so hot. I would buy that for myself if I wasn't so suspicious about ordering stuff via internet. >.<
