Seeing as nobody has posted the content of her "rant," I'm posting it here in hopes that someone would be so kind to translate it for the rest of us.

OMG I totally thought Urata's hands were a woman's, I'm so sorry man :laugh I'm guessing his hands the one with the tattoos since Ayu doesn't have tattoos on her arm, but their hands are very similar in size. lol Those are really nice bracelets too, I wish I could afford 'em. Makes me happy to see Ayu supporting her friends on social media too.

Also I'm the farthest thing from a prude, lol I'm a huge-ass perv, I just don't find those pictures attractive. They're a little too tasteless to be art, and just the odd angles and body languages makes it a little strange for porn. Not even my favorite porn stars have photos like that :laugh :laugh But to each their own, he's an attractive man and I'm sure a lot of people love those books, but to me it just seems like Leslie is building his own little spank bank, lmao

Here you go:

Be it work, hobbies, friendship, love -- personal values always become the pivot point. Not in the sense that everything is all OK as long as those values are all the same.
There are of course many things that I’m grateful to be able to learn exactly because we have differences. That’s definitely true.
However, I merely mean that it’s also natural to think "This, only this, is non-negotiable".
Actually, rather, it’s almost strange to not have that, to not have things you refuse to concede on.
I won’t stand to have "that" defiled, impossible. This won’t change.

Thank you!!

She can't have it both ways.

A collection posted a pic on instagram of lyrics from Fly high and the caption says "Tokyo final" HINTHINT

Idk what she's saying but she sounds emotional :laugh
I love this little video, even though I'm not entirely sure if it's new or not, I just saw her post it on IG now. It might be old news but figured I'd share her post, haha

Her boobs look incredible, too :luv2
And in all seriousness Ayu really is a beautiful woman, she glows SO MUCH on stage, it's like she was made to perform. We might not all agree on how good she sounds and stuff nowadays but we can all see just how happy performing for us makes her. (I say 'us' like I've ever seen her live, lmao But shhh when I watch her performances online I imagine she's performing just for me let me be delusional)

thank you!

She really is though. I remember when I went to the tour, there was a moment when she was standing directly in front of me, looking at me, and singing. I was overflowing with so much joy, so much genuine happiness. And then I realized, she was too. Her and I and all the fans were feeling happiness to the highest extent, in the very same way. I had wanted so badly for her to know that, for her to know how much she had given me, and how grateful I was for it, but I remember feeling frozen when I realized that she was actually thanking me. It was like she could hear us all saying "Thank you, Ayu!," and from the bottom of her heart, as she scanned all of us in the audience, she was saying in return, "No... Thank YOU."

We've all given ayu something, and she truly cherishes that above all else. When you think about how that's possible, that you can and have given her something, it's wild. That's why she's always talking about "the dream" and the continuance of it until the end - the connection we receive from her as fans, through her works and messages gives us a sense of love, hope (and above all else) understanding is our half of it; and the connection and sense of it all she gets in return, is hers.

^I have never seen someone I love as much as I love Ayu performing live, so honestly I don't even know what I would do if she was singing while looking at me, lol. I'd probably bawl my eyes out and I honestly never cry (except the times SHE has made me cry while I watch videos of some of her performances). But her music has gotten me through so much in life that I don't see me reacting any other way to her looking at me while singing :laugh :laugh :laugh You are a VERY lucky man!! I feel like that's such an amazing connection.

But it makes me happy to know that her happiness on stage isn't something that she manages to pull off for the cameras, but people can actually see how genuinely happy she is on stage in front of them. Man I wanna see this woman live so bad D: I don't care if she has the worst vocals in history whenever I see her, I'll be the happiest man alive, lmao

(PS I'm a lil drunk right now so I'm extra emotional about Ayu ok don't judge me)

For sure. I definitely am aware of his reputation of a desirable photographer in the entertainment industry. To me it's just that there are other photographers that are also great and with less shadyness.:laugh
I also don't think what makes the photos bad is that it's nudity. It's that when Leslie seems to create these porn art book things, his photos make the models look like sexual objects and nothing more. That's what bothers me about his sexual/nude photos.:no

I like that guy in suits, nice photo bomb lol

I wanna see the super Tatsuya photos too, i can't find them, someone help please.

^ Dogs, babies and Ayu <3 which Instagram is this from?
