Ayu ditch that photographer now!
Seriously, I don't get why someone who has so much creative control over her career chooses to okay such bad photographs ;_;

Her nepotism with the dancers and Kazuyoshi is getting ridiculous..

I would say its been ridiculous for a while now. But this is like the epitome.

:sigh: I just watched a-museum yesterday for the first time in a long time and it was great. The people in the back did not take over the whole show and where used only to compliment certain performances when needed. (a bit of different topic, I know ^_^)

Because they are so photo shopped that it looks like a fan could have pasted Ayu's head on a different body.

To bad it seems official that they are real.

Moonstar, these are from TeamAyu. They get stuff earlier than the official site.

I don't know.. I don't really see what's wrong with the covers. If you're disappointed, then what were you expecting? We pretty much knew from the get-go that Kazuyoshi was photographing it and that she was going to be on some poolside.

I rather like the fonts they chose for the covers. LOVE is ALL is barely visible though, but.. hey, whatever. Haha.

If these are the real covers, I'm not too unhappy. I think that the concept was really beautiful, but like many have said, she used a crap photographer. If she had hired someone different these pictures could have been some of her best.

I don't know what to think of the covers. I like the feeling they give me of a lovely hot summer day in your bikini, but the photoshopping is terrible, like someone's taken a soften tool and just dragged it all over Ayu. I really like the curly hair though. You can't deny that Ayu's body does look hot either.

I don't understand, why does everyone keep hating Kazuyoshi Shimomura? I think he makes great covers and PVs, just except of these, though..

okay, I've just been shown the covers.

and omg.

They're awful. I'm sorry. The background, the "scenery", her outfit, the photoshopping...it's all so incredibly cheap, and just bad.

um...maybe they'll be better in HQ...but just...ew. She doesn't even look good in them...apart from her heavily photoshopped body.

just...yeah...I have to navigate away now.

Kazu just sucks this year.

Leslie Kee seems like he's off enlightening himself with some men in some foreign country.. he hasn't done much lately, haha.

Anyone but Kazuyoshi IMO could turn out a better cover. But since I could already kind of tell this was going to happen from the initial "Hey guys, Kazuyoshi's shooting my covers!"-talk on her blog.. I kinda thought "poolside, in the water, with flowers behind her."..

Kazuyoshi's previous works: fairyland, talkin' 2 myself, Mirrorcle World, A COMPLETE, A BEST 2, NEXT LEVEL, Days/GREEN, Rule/Sparkle..

Because he makes terrible PVs and mediocre covers, oi.. at least in comparison to some of her older photographers..

I really like liked all but the last 3 covers he made.
I don't understand why he just sucks so badly? I mean he has Ayu, a beautiful women; Bali, which should give him a beautiful scenery, and he's a professional!!! He should at least be able to get a decent photo so he doesn't have to photoshop her that much!

Personally I don't like that cover, I think her hair and her body looks so fake and not like herself...
Some of the fanworks here on this forum should have been used!!!


Leslie Kee come back~~~
