I mean, Ayu looks pretty, her body looks amazing, but the background... what the hell are/were they thinking? It looks SO BAD. Some people on this forum can do better with photoshop than this!

I was just telling my friend there must be some kind of contract or sth forcing ayu to use Kazuyoshi over and over. About the photography thing, i agree with u as well. HOWEVER i think it's okay when fashion pictures look completely fake. At the end of the day it all comes down to what u were trying to convey through that pic. It's art after all. There are no rules.

next level and r/s were gross and this just adds to it.. you can't deny her body looks good ("photoshop" or not) but the face doesn't really look like her (cd+dvd is monkeyish and that's not ayu at all!), and the background is... really cheap looking. it would be a lot better if didn't look so fan made! i'm not really disappointed in the covers though 'cause i wasn't sure what to expect. |

~ayumi hamasaki latest single PV: short film - Lost in Bali~
The covers are just plain horrendous. I really like how her body is, despite it obviously being photoshopped... I like her clothes, her hair, her accessories... I love the text too. But that's about it. The background looks more like a canvas painting than a scenery from Bali. Honestly if I were someone from Bali, I would be really offended with this... it's like, what? She went all the way to Bali, only to come back with covers that don't even LOOK like Bali? And her face... oh my God. CD-only: "Huh what am I doing? Omg I'm kinda having a hungover... so tired..." CD+DVD: *Okay so I'm gonna get ready for a hot pose woo!* - Places hand on ear- ~half-way through- *snap snap* Kazuyoshi Shimomura: "Ayu I took The hottest shot of you, EVER!" *orly?* "Yes, come and look!" *zomg Shimo-san, I look like an idiot who's scratching her ear... I wanted to do a hot pose with my hand behind my hair, yeah?* "No Ayu you're freaking hot, hotter than Sparkle PV!!!" *Really? You're my BFF, so I'll trust you! That shall be my CD+DVD cover! * ... Her facial expression is just bad. And whoever who brought Kuu's anytime... at least that was natural and besides the CD+DVD cover, the CD cover is lovely and so is the booklet. At least the laidback and natural feel is in sync with the song. I still remember how Ayu actually SMILED in one of the BLUE BIRD shots... and she's like -Lost in Bali- here... I really hate Kazuyoshi Shimomura for screwing up almost everything about Ayu... but I can't help but feel Ayu should be meaner and tell him that his stuff are that bad. I mean... I don't know... there's just something so wrong with these covers... her eyes have no expression; no nothing... she's Ayu, not a mannequin posing for FHM's summer magazine... Really, Kazuyoshi should stop making Ayu do the drugged and lost face... He really doesn't know how to make a woman beautiful. Ayu, good luck to your career if you're deciding to stick with incompetent staff members.

what's really wrong with Kazuyoshi? |

^ I do like some of his shots like Mirrorcle World and GREEN/Days (not the Days/GREEN) one... NEXT LEVEL CD+DVD, A COMPLETE... but all of these, I think it's just Ayu salvaging herself by doing a right face.
This, however,... I don't know. I'm really shocked at how someone like Ayu would even allow this atrocity to be in her portfolio. If it's magazine shots and she does that "I'm lost baby" face... it's all right to me, cos the most important thing is to highlight the clothes that she's wearing. For her single/album covers though... they're a part of her career, and her just allowing this horrendous thing... really reflects on her increasing complacent attitude towards making sure that everything about her singing career is smooth and good imo...

I don't mind that this cover isn't in front of a backdrop (a first in a year and a half!), but it's OVER-photoshopped. It's not one of those covers where an arm or part of a leg is missing or too small or something, she just looks fake, almost plastic. She looks wonderful, but the plants behind her look FAKE. I bet it wasn't a backdrop, and they shouldn't have done any kind of editing to the flowers.
The covers aren't bad, I just wish they hadn't done all that photoshopping. But, like someone just mentioned, I am growing to the covers... at least, the small versions. Let's see how they look when the bigger, HQ versions are released.

Since we can't change who she works with, the one thing we can do is complain. I don't see it ending anytime soon. ^_^ I highly doubt it. For someone who supposedly has so much control over her image, if Ayu didn't want him around he wouldn't be there. Do you really think Avex really wants this guy who has never worked with any other major artist before and keeps turning in substandard work? This is nepotism at its worst since the whole reason he even got involved is because both he and Ayu are friends with Mika John. Last edited by SunshineSlayer; 18th July 2009 at 04:59 AM. |

I don't think it's complacency at all, if Ayu disliked it that much, she'd put her foot down, but the reason she isn't is obviously because she must like it at least a little. Also, the portfolio thing, Ayu isn't a model. She isn't an artist. She's a singer, sometimes they don't have the best covers and they can't satisfy everyone. She's doing her best and she obviously thinks that Kazuyoshi is doing a good job... |
