[News] Calendar 2012 (11/16/2011)

[truehappiness]

It will be a doozy to compare the recreated 2012 shots with the shots from 2003.

I think she looks much better nowadays, I love the plastic-dolly look, I'm a fan of it lol

Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!

[stivenoto]

Yup, I think so too. Since it's the first time she's worked with Leslie Kee on a calendar shoot since that 2003 one ~

The clearer cover looks beautiful!

[truehappiness]

I think he also shot the 2004 and 2005 calendars as well. Though IIRC, the 2003 one was the first one that they worked on together.

I received an email from Yesasia says that they will ship out the calendar in Dec 3! Can't wait to receive mine! xD

I wonder if they filmed the wedding dress scene in the street again.

Was there some video from a documentary awhile ago (perhaps the 2003/04 one?) showing the footage of it being taken? For some reason I remember seeing a video of it and people were watching it being taken and taking their one pictures haha...

[YUKARI]

^ yes, it was shown on NTV 2004 Documentary.

[inspire_rmx]

Absolutely love the 2012 cover! love her eyes and her nails print. will be getting it! ^^

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Not necessarily because of the contacts, or if anything the fact that there's practically a decade gap in between, but the '03 cover is a lot more natural. But I like both.

[Catfisk]

Ughh I want to see more pics already ;~~;
Ordering it for a friend as an xmas gift :3

[owlflight]

Is there any particular reason why she recreated a shot from 2003? I do love the 2012 cover though!

I think I've read somewhere that it's to celebrate working x years with Leslie Kee or that it has been x years since they last worked together. But I'm probably wrong. =P

Hamasaki Ayumi x LESLIE KEE in NY!
Hamasaki Ayumi and Leslie Kee have teamed up for calendar shooting again.
Furthermore, the shooting was done in NY, the same place as the shoot 10 years ago!!
“…If we can, let’s shoot the calendar in the same place as we did for the 2003 shoot!!”
With this special idea from Leslie, the calendar shoot was based on this theme.
After 10 years, Hamasaki Ayumi x LESLIE KEE has powered up, and this item is a must-check ★

^It's actually a pretty cute idea :3 I hope it turns out good.

I really like the concept of re-creating the 2003 calendar A really cute idea. Though.... so far, I prefer the original cover to the new one :p

I surely don't hope that ayu is thinking about rounding up her career... With compilations as A CLIP BOX, A 50 LIVE and this calender taking 2003 back up again. It's like she's carefully rounding things up, for some reason. (To me that is)

As for the calendar, i can't wait to get mine! The front picture is so beautiful. And like some people said, unlike others I'm a fan of the plastic look.
