About the granny thing, it's weird but that style is kind of "in" at the moment with a lot of youths dressing like old women, haha.

1) I LOVE this PLASTIC photoshoot. It's crazy, very VOGUE'esque in fact. Very weird, my thing.

2) Ayu is that kind of a star that she should change her image often, and that's why I love her, lol

In fact, from the recent photoshoots, I disliked her curly hair the most, with these pink-peachy lighting and these granny-cute clothes and HATS. ugh. And her lips was disgusting back then (I love personally "peachy skin lipstick" but Ayu looks like an alien with em) She looked like 16yo teen-wannabe. This kind of session (ViVi 4,12) looks purely fun, it's nothing bad with "fun/cool/urban" in her age. I just think that "cute Ayu" (like in shoots back then or RnRC cover) doesn't work for her anymore.

and the last thing about lightning - yeah, Leslie uses the strong light a lot, it's not very fine for me cause Ayu look a little manequinesque.
