I missed shu-ya. I knew he couldn't stay away.

She better don't perform Summer diary while flailing around crying for Shuya

Yeah, please not! I love Summer diary and I hope she performs it. But those flailing performances are boring and overused.
Shake it up a bit! Use a screen for ineraction with Shuya or something e.g.

So she gets married, Shuya leaves the band, and now she has kissing PV with him and he seems to be kind of back (I wonder of it's just for ANation or for TA Tour as well), I really missed him, in 2004 onwards I had so many dancers I loved that even if Ayu vocals were bad or she chose some songs I don't like that much I still was watching for the dancers and now only Midori is left, so I hope Shuya will come back, I like Zin and Subaru but I don't really enjoy them as much as I did with Gomi, Shuya, Mitsu and Maro (but now that I know his real personality I don't miss him...)

get some sleep girl!

Stupid perfect skin

This. :yes

Indeed ><

Sleeping can naturally heal your skin, but she doesn't need to sleep to heal her skin. Is she a human?

I can't believe how youthful she looks...she's going to be, what, 36 or 37 this year? XD I wonder what she will look like when she is 50...probably the same. :P

Ayu composing? I really hopeeee:P

^ There were pics from the A ONE era she was sitting in front of a piano and receiving a massage, I guess that's just a habit for her? Maybe she plays melodies of songs already done to connect better with them? :P I wouldn't put my hopes up on this, even tho I'd like to see her doing so.

She also told us a few times that she was composing, but that this doesn't mean the song would get choosen just because she composed it.

Or she is testing her lyrics to be sure that she's using the right word to match the melody.

The woman never ages! haha

Her songs only come from toilet. Remember how many times she has toilet accidents?
:P

I don't think she composing the song.. If i remember correctly she said something about band rehearsal and dance rehearsal when she posted that picture.

LICO (whispers words to other dancers so Ayu can't hear) : It's been like 17 years how come this bitch still can't dance

Her hair looks so long and healthy.

It would be nice if Ayu composed something for a album. I think songs she composed were great and unique. Like Will for example. That song is one of the stand out songs on (miss)understood imo. :)

I created a playlist on iTunes with all the songs composed by her and it made me really sad to remember how iconic and good they are. I really miss her compositions.

LoL :D

Hahaha I remember during an MC session in one of her tours, Yo-chan was saying how Ayu would be a beat too early all the time when dancing.

Good idea! I'm gonna do that too!

Agree, Will is beautiful. :luv2

Will is like, one of my least favorite songs of the last decade. I could just never get into it. Wow, speaking of decades, I think it's pretty close to it's 10-year anniversary (of the HEAVEN single) - damn I'm old.

REALLY?! Will was a song that made me fall back in loce with Ayu right around the time when her music became 'meh' to me.

I think Will may be my favourite Ayu song- although I always find it hard to pinpoint my fave!

Will is one of my favorite songs for sure.

The Wall5 remix of Will is really good though. Also, there was a nice fanmix done of the song years ago. I almost always choose those two alternative versions to listen to over the original.

Same :)
When I think I.ve found a favourite, another one pops into my mind. Will is definitely my favourite track from (miss)understood followed closely by rainy day.

I would love to see Ayu bust out some Amuro level dance moves :P

^I'm not sure if all Ayu fans would take that lightly, but personally I agree with you. It would be awesome~ :heart

Amuro level :roflmao:roflmao you made my day with this.

Ayu did Lelio, did you forget it? Do you really want more dancing ?
LOL. I'm kidding, another MV with dance moves will be awesome.

Namie is a good dancer, but her choreographies aren't that hard (as she needs to sing while she dances)... Ayu probably could do it for a performance or two, not for a whole concert.

Now, if it was about dancing like BoA, that would be a whole different thing.

Going to Osaka with medama (eyeball :/ )

She's sooo beautiful

What is this "eyeball" thing? Is it just decoration or does it have a purpose?
I'm sorry that I don't know about it

It's the very famous FENDI Monster Collection
Just like ayu's backpack. The furry bag charm with eyes is called the "Bag Bug" and it's selling like hot cakes with prices up to few hundred dollars. It's mostly made of mink fur with some leather trimmings.

And the fuchsia Fendi bag she's carrying is called "By The Way"

^ Ohhh so it's a bag charm. I understand
Thank you very much for the explanation.

I need to get my eyesight checked because I thought she had a Pokemon plush hanging on that bag she has on. :'D

Please, no.

That bag is kinda creepy, in the second pic there are strains of black hair hanging... creepy.

^ she looks gorgeous

Would love to see a different hair colour now. It's been dark for nearly a year now.

Dark is suiting ayu pretty well lately specially when she wears red lipstick :)

Do not say such things ! :o

How about some wild pink and purple ombre? Like Madonna or Demi did. That would be fun.

I actually liked the time Ayu was obsessed with pink hair back in 2012

I loved her with strawberry pink hair...too bad literally everything about that era was a hot mess

I prefer this color over that blond hair. She used that way too long. This darker color suits her so much better imo.

^AMEN !!!
Thank to this style she looks younger.

Maybe the same color but a different hairstyle or cut, one of the things I love from Ayu image is that she is always changing her hairstyle :)

Here we go complaining about dark hair.. Before lots of you complaining about blonde hair and asked for dark hair... And now ......

I haven't read any complaint at all in the post about her hair color, free speech people; this is a forum and nobody Here is telling "I hate dark hair in her" only "I would love to see her like this or like that"...:rolleyes

aaaand only complainers like to remind about "free speech"

weibo: "Hahahaha!!! Just noticed!!!! I was wondering why you guys ignored my post....... http://img.t.sinajs.cn/t4/appstyle/e...age/ee9092.png http://img.t.sinajs.cn/t4/appstyle/e...age/ee9092.png http://img.t.sinajs.cn/t4/appstyle/e...age/ee9092.png"

i'd love to see her in brown hair for longer time...she's so suitable in it.. she's been in blonde/light color haircolors for quite long time...let the brown hair color stays a bit longer please...

I NEVER wanted Ayu with dark hair, I always prefered blonde. Just because some people wished for dark hair doesn't mean everyone did.

That´s why stivenoto said a lot and not all
Fact is that some (clearly read some) ppl will always complain about her hair color because they like othere hair color more.
I personallly like blonde + dark hair, also that pink hair was cool.

Well, she has only used this color two times before (partly 2003 and partly 2005/partly 2006) so why is it so damn wrong to use it again when the blonde color has been used almost every year since 1999? I see nothing wrong with using dark brown for a change again.

Well if you count 1998 to the end of 1999, she's had it three times.

Didn't she say she switched to dark because the dye was damaging her hair? I noticed she's not using extensions too.

I like almost all of ayu.s hairstyle changes. BUT, with some exceptions - 2004 grandma short hair and 2012 pink hair. I.m probably one of the few people here who loved her 2012 bleached wavy hair (You & me era).

I did like that strawberry pink hair though. It was a surprising choice for a hair color for her. :)

Well, but everytime I say something like "I want Shuya back" I get a response like "First people hated on him and now you want him back. People always complain". Everytime I say something postive about Timmy I get a response like "first people hated on him and kniw they got used to him and like him". Everytime I say I prefer Ayu's blond hair I get a response like "people were complaining they wanted dark hair and now they want blond back".
It's tiring that people always complain about my preferences when it comes to Ayu because other people didn't liked it whereas I always did.

Welcome to AHS xD
This will never change^^

I also prefer her with dark her. That hairstyle now looks so good on her. Hope she will have it for longer.

I love her actual hair color but I don't like how flat it's been lately.

Well if we're talking about her hair it'd be cool if she rocked her FIVE/PQ look again. It's a bit nostalgic.

I think both blonde and brown or any darker shade suit her.
She can really work both colors in my opinion. It feels like she used blonde much more in general though, so the fact she is having it darker now is actually not making me sick of it because it feels we got it less than the blonde.

I agree about the style though, it feels like she just wears it straight most of the time but at the same time I also think it looks best with this color..

TAKE THIS STATEMENT BACK, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY

PLEASE NO :no :no :no

The soccer mum hair? Yeah... No.

The pic Miccie posted is too cute!

I also want her to go back to blonde! :P

I don't mind any colour, so long as they are healthy XD

I thought that guy on the left was Maro for a hot minute.

I smelled it's Naoya just from looking at his figure for a second. lol
I'm not used to shuya with that hair though.

Lol I'm also not. Can't even remember a time when he didn't have the half blonde half black hair :laugh
(There probably was, I just really can't remember)

2005 when he just joined ayu. my name's WOMEN PV. He actually looked really good there.

There was an a-nation (can't recall each) that he had a hideous curly hair.

I think he looks better with this hairstyle tbh That black and blonde looked too much like a Pokémon trainer for me :dead

Shuya looks KIND OF like an alien in that pic. lol

2006! The one where Ayu performs Startin'.

I dont know what gone wrong with shuya because she is like super skinny and in the Summer diary PV he looks strange

26th august was Midoring birthday, and 25th stylist of dancers and performers

^Her face is everything! She looks so happy and surprised. She is so sweet! Hope she had an incredible birthday!

On other topics: I love Ayu with dark hair but I wish she would get extensions or some volumizer, I don't know...She looks great but I am getting bored of the flat looking hair.

I've liked basically every hairsyle Ayu has had. I like her Five era hair. What I have never been a fan of was the pink. That was easily my least favorite. But, I'm pretty certain it was a wig...

Awww Midoring looks so cute in that photo. I hope she had a great birthday!

I'm worried for Shu-ya. The one year he's been away looks like having done very bad for him. He looks... idk. Not healthy.

^actually i also thought he looked horrible. he seemed like he was ill or something. The dark circles made him look really tired the eyes seemed to be sunken in. I really was like "Shu-ya, what the hell happened to you while yopu were away". I mean he always had this prominent bone structure but it never looked this harsh on him. And yeah he does look like he is much thinner than what he was.

as for Ayu her hair...i am pretty sure the girl has extensions in for the length. Her hair couldn't grow this long over a period of like a couple of months. As for the volume i think it's the matter of styling. When she has her hair curled it has much more volume. It's just not styled.
One thing i would love to see this again:
http://img23.fansshare.com/media/con...lbums-8591.jpg

The alternative would be waist length hair with the same colour, omg i would want her to do this!

She barely does dark hair for any length of time. It's refreshing to see it around this long.

Shu-ya looks like he hasn't been getting much sleep.

As long as she doesn't revisit the tragic looks from 2002-2004

I still don't understand how anyone though those looked good.

2004 was a complete disaster, nothing tops that.

The 2011/POWER of MUSIC bob wasn't all that as well, kinda reminded me 2004.
It was only good on FIVE but I don't really like when ayu has that hair.
I love her hair when it's at least at shoulders length or longer.
