I think it IS her body. Only photoshopped xD lol. They just accentuated the shadows in those areas to make her breasts look bigger and stuff like that.

Her body looks hawt and that's what matters.

The water does look fake, which i don't understand since she WAS in the water, wasn't she?

That pool is so weird. It looks like it doesn't have any edges o_o.

They might have shot the covers in this pool. Where those bushes came from, idk.....

Well, we should expect that when Kazuyoshi's doing a cover, they're going to be overly contrasted, very shiny, plastic-looking, with kind of bad composition...

And that's exactly what's been wrong with the last 4-5 covers that he's done for her. Can we please just get ANYONE else back? Even Mikajohn would be better.

The bikini top/bra thing probably enhanced her breasts [shadows and etc. yo!] and her abs could easily be from months of dancing/working out. I mean after a few months of exercise, I'm sure some results would show! She doesn't exactly just sit there when she does a concert, haha.

@zoomzoom: If that was the case, i think we would see those edges.

I think ayu was in an infinity pool. Like this one:



i guess the bushes are just photoshopped lol.

I think it would be cool if Ayu gave a transparent png of herself and held a little contest thing for fans on who can make the best Ayu cover, which would then be used.

And the cover would hopefully kick Kazuyoshi's overly photo-shopped bottom. (8

I realize that we'll probably see the 'making of' these covers in the next DejiDejiDiary [this next upcoming one next week] so, wait for those before you assume anything!

Ok now, before I say this I want to say i have no problem with Ayu using photoshop. its usually used effectively and proffesionally and has really been used to create a specfic feel with her photos (ie glitter's cover wa smad emore dreamy). like I said the only photoshop that doesn't look effective/welldone is Sunrise. Anywho to the point:
Quote:
It makes perfect sense, and you/I/whomever can complain about these dumb shops because these [in reference to the covers] aren't random photoshops. They're just Kazuyoshi's specialty. Regular photos of a beautiful person looking like crap that "appear" photoshopped. I'm pretty sure everyone and their mom thinks his covers since A BEST 2 / t2m / A COMPLETE / MW / whatever thinks those are photoshopped-looking [which they are] but they are not photoshopped, I think. He's just very good at creating that sort of crappy effect in his photography [ARGH]. Which I hate and have hated since he became her go-to photographer.
Do you really think Ayu's eyes are simply a result of his "technique".
Sure he isn't the best photographer, but you can't put all the blame on him. Ayu uses photoshop and like I said thats ok and usually it looks good. but I don't think he has the ability of making eye blood vessels dissapear...Evryone should stop putting the blame on him.
And like i said, its always Ayu's final choice...

@Anthony: I had no doubt that she has definition in her abs and stuff...but this photoshopping kinda pushes it...although it's no where near the amount they used on her breasts.


but yeah, I think the wierdest thing is kinda the background...how like the pool just ends...and then there's the wierd plants that look cut and pasted in...the edges are like...wth...


I don't know...that cover is just really odd to me.

oh not to mention...I just saw when I made them bigger...that there's this weird thing on her arm...is it in her hair? on her left shoulder. You can see it in nacho's siggy...what is that?

You're right, which is why I'm more upset with her decision making than him.

But you know what, I'm over it. I don't care for the covers, but they could be worse...

LOL ...

I don't think Ayumi's biggest concern is the economy... I think she could retire tomorrow and be fine..

But that was a very clever post... The economy never even crossed my mind..

Although it would of been less expensive and probably a lot nicer without the intense photoshop..

I think it's just a part of the costume.
It would be odd if it was in only one of the pictures though.

Haha, thanks. (;
Yeah, if Avex was having budget problems, I'm sure Ayu could've funded the money to finish her own project...
In fact, she could also hire someone better to make these covers. D8<
