New album 'Love songs' & Ayu-produced single 'Dream ON' 12/22 [III]

[ownsarai]

^quite a few California cities have them, I think the ones she used were in Palm Springs.

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

I liked most of teh PVs shot in LA so i'm pretty excited

[AyUmIXx]

I just hope all the new PVs will have cool themes~
I hope ayu went to several nice places all around LA to film haha XDD

[brener]

I hope the covers won't be overphotoshoped like Rock 'n' Roll Circus ones..

[joshohhhhh]

all you have to do is turn the lighting down in ayu's photoshoots and you can see that they're not over-photoshopped.
-about the pvs: as long as they're not one-scene stereotypical-ayu-in-LA pvs, then i'll be happy.

are you kidding? Ayu's pictures, like 99% of all celeb-pictures and modeling-shots, are overphotoshopped.. nobody looks like that ;p

they're photoshopped, yes... but saying they're over-photoshopped is a bit subjective. they blast the lights up in all of her recent photoshoots, but if you tune it down: you can see her features clearly. it is still photoshopped; but you can tell they don't change her skin by drastic amounts.

You have an excellent point. Ayu is perfect either way though...

Yup. Actually when you said it for the first time I tried with a few covers. Here's an example:

Spoiler:

looks better, huh?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^I disagree.

OMG, so my Evo just froze, which has never happened before, and I took the battery out, revealing a MICROSD card. lmao...I never knew it was there.

I can't wait to put ayu's MicroSD in there and see what happens...haha.

Celebrity photos are less photoshoped than most people make it seens... You can get tons of different effects only with good make-up, light and angles.... Even some of the "eeew!1! too much photoshop!1!" ayu pics...

But since the begining of the last decade everything is either photoshop or playback to general public

Just use a pause on any HD video (face close-up), she really does look flawless, it really not always photoshop, besides, when I've been to Japan, I strolled through Shibuya and had a closer look at girls there and their skin, they use lots of highlighters so their skin has a lovely shine and it's stunnigly beautiful. I even bought one myself, from Rimmel (I read in ViVi that she used it for the commercial photo shoot) and it's awesome. Add to that a healthy lifestyle, good diet and you won't be wondering why Japanese girls are that pretty in real life.

It`s normal that celebs use so much make up they could cut it with a knife xD If she was going to photoshop everything anyway, wasting time and money on make-up would be pretty dumb...

[ohsixthirty]

i don't even care if she looks like total plastic as long as it looks nice or has a nice theme! photoshop away and slather on the makeup, its fine with me!

actually, i don't even want to see her looking "real" on the covers of her albums. give me the "image" of ayumi hamasaki any day. if i want to see her looking real, i'll look at her TA pictures, which are also wonderful.

Me too! I don't care what the Japanese say! I will find a way >=D

I'm hoping for another (miss) understood CD only cover.
Or maybe another Sunrise!

Lmfao.

But you know I don't think they photoshopped her eyes really at all. Ayu just has large eyes, combined with the makeup style and her O_O expression - it really creates that effect.
