it's probably just an asian word in general...there's lots of truncated english words that japanese people put together.

We don't use them here because the majority of us are not japanese lol

I never heard of "selcas" as well. It's like saying "I Yakusoku that I'll do it tonight". To be honest I find it "Okashina furumai no", to do that. LOL, saying things people don't know. But whatever, I thought it was some kind of food. (I completely misplaced those japanese kanji words in their sentences LOL FUNNY ASDFGHL)


Yakusoku = promise
Okashina furumai no = strange behaviour

I dun think Japanese use the term selca. I only knew this word a few months ago from allkpop as well. It's possible that this term was invented by the Koreans.

PS: I just search online, it's indeed a KPop cultural thing.. --> 셀카.

probably then~

She totally lost 10 years with her new longer hairdo. She look sooooo stunning! I'm totally loving it! :heart

Sooo happy for long hair. :luv2

Oh, I love those bright colors on her. I know I made a little negative comment on the photo in the beginning of this thread, but this one is really fun and cute :)

my one selca comment.. muhahhaha.

I always think she looks younger with longer hair...
She is jsut stunning!

The photo she posted on her TA blog is just STUNNING. It's in the same greenish outfit.

Her newest twitter pictures are absolutely beautiful! I love her hair. I know it's not her natural hair but it looks very natural on her. A++ to whoever did her hair this time! And she's recording? :O So much excite if that's true!

ewww so creepy and the new rimmel is just too funny

Oh she add a hair length? Nice. Oh well guess that I should get used to the light colors again.

but she looks so sad

Sad? Not really :)

Let's donate her a digital camera. The resolution of her photos is getting worse each time she's posting something.

..if only she were still endorsed by Panasonic....she will ahve a great quality picture~~:D:D:innocent:innocent

^ I believe I read that she had some really good cameras at home and she uses them to take pics of her dogs, can't remember where i read it though, probably one of her recent interviews. She should use those to take pics of herself indeed ;)

the sad part is more and more people are using phones...
which is horrible...
but she has the latest iphone, maybe she was drinking... lol

no I dont want she had more than enough money to buy one,camera costs way cheaper than her LVs :laugh

guys maybe she's using the front camera of her iPhone,it's more easier for self cam,so remember that the resolution for iPhone's front cam it's not the same as the back camera,that's why it's a bit crappy and maybe when the car is moving (referring to her recent pics) the pics can be a bit shaky

I missed the days when it's only "Ayu and her band" not including her dancers n other... :(

Ayu and her hair are looking gorgeous lately...loving it!

ayu still uses her weibo too..dont forget

I agree:(

well iPhone's front camera is a mere VGA resolution... plus she always takes her selcas in horrible lighting with bad focus... lol

Why is her hair still not straight? Oh lord, Ayu. You gotta get it straight, then drop a single with that 'do.

Cause curls (especially messy beach waves) are fabulous :yes

I second this. :yes

Totally :yes

^ What they said :)

Plus, long straight hair is boring more often than not.

im not going to be too picky,this is great already and why ask for more long straight ,we had it during 2007 and the previous years too xD

A new single is going to be announced Wednesday for mid August..I can feel it, I had a dream about it and I can't stop thinking about it

I HOPE YOURS IS AN ANGEL'S TONGUE

oh yes and I had a dream that she'll release A BEST 3 in 2 weeks.

straight hair is nice, but curls like that look way better on her!!*nod*

OMG I hope you're right...but that would mean that there is another clairvoyant on this site ... lol remember when I dreamed about the exact release date of ayu-mi-x 7 before it was even remotely announced? hahaha

I wish I dreamed about Ayu lately... the last dream I had about her was a year ago, and she hired a giant pirate ship and turned it into a huge stage with overhead catwalks and ropes she'd swing from side to side. The audience was on the deck and she was above us the entire time. Then we went to pick flowers on a hill. Maybe its prophetic! Ayu will become a pirate and... pick flowers...? :innocent

I think you are right because the "TA-choose-summer-songs" campaign will end on Wednesday and I hope they will announce something. ^^

As much as I'd love that, its probably just for a-nation.
I'd LOVE a single, with two fast paces songs... If that came true I would just omfgsadfhikgvfuij

lol I did the same about a blu-ray pv boxset and it was announced a week later haha

You guys do realize that she uses bad cameras for a reason? It hides flaws for those who don't have the magical powers of Photoshop.

lol seriously.

I like the filter she uses that has the random blurring.

I don't, it looks like she got fingerprints on the camera :P

oh that totally does xD

oh Ayu .. always having a reason for everything. LOL

she should get on Instagram though. i wanna stalk her

^YES!! someone needs to get her on instagram lol

http://lockerz.vo.llnwd.net/v1/photos/medium/x2_d034679

Mmm I don't get why is ayu uploading this xDD

http://lockerz.vo.llnwd.net/v1/photos/medium/x2_d02d062

http://lockerz.vo.llnwd.net/v1/photos/medium/x2_d02cf32

Her friends are edible and green x)

Wow young ayu!! The bottles with Ayu on it looks funny. haha.

What's that vegetable? I mean the one in the latter picture together with the salad..it looks like a caterpillar LOL

It's Goya. ^^

lol I was wondering wth it was too.


and I just realised the collar ayu is wearing in one of those pics up there....damn lol I was too young to understand that sort of thing back then :laugh

may be she wants to use those kind of style again
LOL

Or maybe she wants to go back to the roots and call her upcoming allbum "time machine" for that reason :mgagged

+1

it would be great :luv2

@Kana×Shin
It was "The 5th Season" Some kind of chinese (?) energy drink.
Unfortunatly the only file we have of that CM is very bad quality. There is also a second one, but I forgot the song. I really must bet hand on my old HDDs xD

you deserve an applause

YES! these days ive been thinking about Ayu shouild get on Instagram, shes aploding her pics with lockerz is quite annoying really xDD sometimes im having to trouble to open the link >.<

even her personal pictures don't get away from people talking negatively about it , you guys are HILARIOUS

Someone know what is the signification of this article ?

http://ayunight.blog.fc2.com//blog-entry-12.html

HAZ is performing as Ayumi Hamasaki in a Ayumi Hamasaki Night at some club. It shows a pic of HAZ in the upper left corner.

This so much.

Some people like to discuss certain things without an intention for being negative about something. Ayu's self-shot pictures of herself always are of poor quality. If people start wondering about that I do not see any unreasonable negativity there. Any facebook user with amateur photos uploads better quality shots.

ok ok ayu has some unflattering selcas but you took it too far with that :no

Damn! Is this really her house?
http://lockerz.com/s/218430292

We are not talking of unflattering photos though. Just bad quality ones and that hasn't got anything to do with her poses or lip-acrobatics.

It seems to be more of a technical problem.

Don't think so... it looks like a place she frequently visits though, the picture before this one has her saying "one of my hideaway" so I doubt it's her home. Looks NICE though, I wanna visit!! XD

OR maybe she just calls her houses "hideaways" and has a lot of them! :lech

It's not hard to take an okay-good quality picture that doesn't have random blurring everywhere:shrug

Other people do it all the time with their iphones. People here DO follow more famous people than just Ayu.

It's not a big deal, but if someone brings it up, people are gonna say something.

People over here even talk negatively about she making friends or wearing this or that outfit on on-work situations... What did u expect? :P

I wish she would tweet more in english. I can read some Japanese, but some kanji I don't know...hmmm...

I think that's the house she talked about near a beach in 2005 when promoting Fairyland with the boxer guy..

That place looks familiar
It's like in Bali :s

Maybe the place she went with Mannie after they married?
http://misachanjpop.wordpress.com/20...tweets-912011/

It's BVLGARI's Bali resort. She stayed there multiple times. The first time was when she filmed BLUE BIRD? I remember there being a ViVi article with her playing in the pool.

http://www.bulgarihotels.com/en-us/b...esort/overview

http://www.hotels.com/ho238082/the-b...atu-indonesia/

I don't think those two pics (or the locations) look anything alike ... lol there are no distinct things that standout to be able to even remotely pinpoint the location. :thud

wow I recognized it immediately! she stayed there last year and all Bali fans here were searching the hotel and so.

so she's in Bali now!

Ooh, that's it! Such a beautiful place..
Is she going to film a PV there?

bvalgari resort!!!!!
or ayana resort....
both are the most expensive resort in bali
with $.7200/night if i remember correctly...

that place looked like the one where she shot Sunrise/Sunset cover,so Bali i think

Is she shooting another single cover...?!?! Perhaps filming a SUMMER PV? Lol always getting my hopes up...

..or maybe she's going to shoot another "SUNRISE/SUNSET ~LOVE is ALL~" cover part 2...only this time it's more worst~~Hehehehe:P:P:P

Yeah can't believe people aren't even a little bit worried considering what Bali produced last time... Lol.

We could always choose to be optimists...maybe she learned from that experience last time. lol

Hopefully, since she talked about "hideway", she's just going to have a holyday

^^She could use it

a pv in Bali wouldn't be bad I think, and if they do the covers, as long as it isn't Shimoko once again, hopefully it'll be fine lol

But I DON'T CARE, I JUST WANT A NEW SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT ASAP

Same with me :yes

good if she's in Bali working~

Bali would be simply amazing for a PV filming, it's heaven on earth

It seems we are all on the edge of our seats about this potential new single. Man, ayu really knows how to keep her fans in anticipation! geez.

^ seat your belts XD

omg I'm so excited!! oh let it be true :love

^ seat your belts XD

omg I'm so excited!! oh let it be true :love

Hope we don't get disappointed this time...

She says it's a getaway i.e. a holiday..why would she be filming a music video?

i think the bad covers of S/S ~love is all~ had nothing to do with Bali but rather the photographer…….

^ yep true. it's more of the photographer..
S/S photographer couldn't choose better scenery as the background as what we know, BALI has a lot of amazing sceneries to take pics with.

can't believe that she's back to Bali again..

well, we're still hoping for a summer single :D

at least it seems like she's preparing something for us :heart

summer single summer single!
Its been so long for a single and I love them!
Please ayu!
