I'm starting to seriously consider that she is having a midlife crisis, lol.

I have nothing against her being youthful and fresh for god's sake, it's just that she looks ridiculous and awful in those tasteless clothes! She's 33 and she looks absurd pretending to be 17...

[Yoake]

I totally love this photoshoot. It's funny, wild type & so fresh.

I don't think so...Those people in the photos are far away from 17,I'm sure.
I like 'barbie' side of Ayu,but i prefer her as 'meaningful' Ayu...I wish she would do a photo-shoot without make up

Yea. Quite tarty, if you ask me. But well. I did not expect her to come up with something else, since it's "Party queen" time.

If Kyarypamyupamyu dresses like this, I can see where it comes from, but Ayu should be more serious and aesthetic...

[Larisa-chan]

Lol I feel like the decades got reversed with Ayu...

She's in her 30s but trying to be in her 20s...
When she was in her 20s, she seemed to have this maturity about her that someone in their 30s would possess..

Just my opinion though

[bluegie]

^That applies to many people as well. When you are young, you always wanna act maturer than your real age. After you hit 30, you'll start wondering if you still have youth within yourself. I have that problem as well, except a bit more complicated. My bones telling me that I'm aging (yeah, my body is stiff and not as flexible as when I was 20), but my face still looked like I'm in early 20s.. A month ago I went back to HK (my birth place). I went to a market with my mom, and a store owner said, "little buddy hanging out with your mom?" That was quite a shock to me..

But anywayz, back to the the topic. I dun absolutely love the photos because I dun like the theme. That's all. She looks fine in those pics.

[TeamAyu2004]

I was just think about that! I mean, I'm 26 (still young, i know!) but i look like i'm 18, lol. I always wanted to act a lot older than I was, but now that I am older (kinda) I want to recapture my youth! lol

[pop909]

I don't know where else to ask this;

What website is the best place to order ViVi?

I checked CDJapan, it is only $8 CDN, but at YESASIA it is $20.00!

Any other suggestions?

[TeamAyu2004]

^ lol, I think you answered that yourself... 8 or 20... man! I wonder why it is so much at yesasia?

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

CDJ charges more for its weight, so be careful.

I might order it from yesasia.

If I were you, I would try to avoid getting it online and try to go to a Japanese/Taiwanese store that carries magazines. It costs way too much to get magazines online.

If you really need to get it online, you can try HMV. Their shipping rates aren't that insane. (I just did an order though and the total was 1819yen so... YesAsia may be the best way to go. HMV is better for orders with multiple items.)

[SpiceSquad!]

i gotta feeling that we will getting this kind of pic for PartyQueen Album Cover

[ownsarai]

I love the shoot. Very fun and refreshing. Ayu looks adorkable.

[rakeru]

Thanks for the scans! I'm still not sure how I feel about them. For one thing, she looks good, but then again, it's a little overkill.

Agreed

[SheFliesHigher]

Uh. It's...fun? But trashy, definitely. She looks like a trailer park queen, especially in the 3rd one with the polka-dot tank that's falling off of her. Her face looks pretty bad in the pic where she's winking.

The Lands of Eden pics are no better. There's something about her face and hair that makes her look like a totally different (and older) person.

[Kanzaki]

Ugh, the Lands of Eden pics look awful Strawberry blonde wigs definitely do not suit her, at least not that one. And what did they do to her body? It looks like it was contoured a bit too much. Her breast looks perfectly round and she looks completely airbrushed. Plus she looks so strange in that second pic, Euroasian almost. Doesn't look too much like her at all. The first pic is okay, but the pose...no, I don't really like that photoshoot. First pic has the most potential though, I think.

agree completely. I have a feeling of "what the F happened to her taste"

[~X2RADialbomber~]

The only good thing about this photoshoot is that the models in it are extremely hot
