Harper's Bazaar Hong Kong - 10/2013 (preview)

This interview mentions one interesting thing.

Which album does ayu like most?
She said if she really has to pick one, she will pick "Secret" or "A Song for xx". However, she mentions all albums are unique.

[Refix]

Thanks for the translation. I enjoy it very much!

I love that I can read articles from magazines! thank you!

Very nice shoot and im glad shes going this direction. Maybe she realized she needed to step up her performance after love again instead of falling back on what she's comfortable with..still the shoots are missing something for me a background would have been nice. Im not comparing to be one sided but if she had went the same route as namie with high fashion and something aside from white I that would have probably been great

Thank you!


Edit: “If I had to pick a favourite aspect of my job, I’ll pick composing. I love the process of composition and all the preparation work that has to be put in. Composing is sometimes like a relationship, or a test of the emotions. Even though there may be feelings of frustration and pain, the product is always beautiful and right.”

Please Ayu, bring CREA back! >.<

[AyUmIXx]

^ it's actually very weird, since she said composing is her favorite aspect but, she rarely composed any for the past few albums haha.
i hope she'll do more in the future.

[mi|kshake]

Yeah, I thought the parts where she spoke about composing were very interesting!

[jierarudo]

Boring.

[asagarichan]

OMG. This fotoset really cool!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I need HQ scans of this! Especially the cat suit.

[KillTime111]

This is an amazing set of photos.. great shoot!! I hadn`t seen the last two before, they came out very well!!!.. Did they make her look taller in the pink dress photo?.. something seems proportionally off because we know she`s not that tall.. Either way, these look amazing!! My favorite is the one w/ the wavy blue dress, the puffy one, exquisite !

[MeltingCORE]

Wooooooooooow! What a great photo shoot! My favorite is the wave dress, the way Ayu is wearing it looks so majestic. And thanks for the interview translation Misa-chan! Interesting read.

Already bought this and it's awesome :d

[BlackSilence]

errrr......we saw that dress on someone else, Alvin, too...so how would you explain that if u did it specifically for THIS shot with Ayu? like you did this for AYu but then decided to lend it to someone else? or how does it work..i'm confused...o_O

[truehappiness]

Alvin must have dropped his association with Rainie. I have no doubt that he made it originally for Rainie and just kinda forgot about her since she's irrelevant compared to Ayu.

[BlackSilence]

^...mmmmm...would make sense

He seem to like ayu a lot...(as a friend).. Keeps popping up his harpers bazaar work with her in instagram occasionally somehow...

[TeamAyu2004]

ohhhhh. nice pictures

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I guess nobody has gotten the mag to scan it for us yet?

[truehappiness]

Someone actually has it, but I don't think they scanned it.

My friend in HK has to send me the magazine still, haha.
