I think the problem with Ayu's stuff usually is that she has the same people that don't really innovate much do her goods while other artists hire design studios and the like. It's just how she does things though. She sticks with the people that she has worked with (mostly) from the beginning with a few exceptions here and there if they want to move on in their careers.

You're right; they're too busy jacking Supreme's logo and slapping it on half her new tour goods to actually be creative (i.e. what they're paid to do)

Also this is the same team that ripped from that (bad) fan logo for Cirque de Minuit and the A BEST LIVE logo.

still no new Goods announcments -_-

it's on TA today

maybe here!

And goods site will be up tomorrow it seems. Very very messy tour still...

looks like goods will be different for each chapter?

Found these on Facebook on the "For A Ver Club" page. Looks like new goods, the cup was on there as well but that was already posted.

^towel, bandana and coasters
the one that I posted is slim-type vacuum flask

Oh god that towel is horrendous

why is she always showing her tits these days? lol.

Next release:
(A)REOLA

These coasters look horrible...i want them.

I love mesh shirts and I do like the picture itself buuut I think her face looks a bit odd and in a towel it's just... Weird? A similar pic would have been a hell of a poster.

The bandana is really cool, I'd get one!

The topless pic is a towel? Wohohoho.
Not sure whether I like it or not. Surely, she looks great, no hating on that.
At least it is not as distrasious as the postcards shot by Leslie Kee for the last tour.

I thought she was done with the hand bra thing. She did it originally for Mirrorcle World and it was shocking! Then she did it like 10 times since then in magazines and it lost the effect.

HAHAHAH I'm laughing do hard!!!

I love the towel and bandana! Nice design!

I think she looks a bit like Keiko Komuro in that picture. I don't hate the being topless aspect but it just seems unnecessary.:shrug
But now I keep seeing Poker Face when I see that logo. That part I love.

she truly does! lmao

Um.... why wear the mesh shirt if you're gonna cover the boobs anyway? I think not wearing anything would have looked less cheap lol

Ah man, that fishnet-whatever shirt is so ugly! The towel would have been nice if it was just the red logo, long ways. But yeah about it being taken from Supreme's logo! I was wondering why it seemed familiar but I couldn't place it.

They should have just done a collaboration with Supreme - would have gotten far better results.

After having the beautiful ViVi shoot and nice promo picture for the tour, that towel image is just like... why? As with a few other pictures she's taken from that angle, it doesn't even look like her.

From 2008 to now she's basically been 'topless' at least once each year for a magazine or some other release, usually in the same sort of jeans + hand over boob pose.

But that would have denied her team the opportunity to jack someone else's design and pass it off as their own, which they've gotten so good at :no

I think that regarding that towel, that it's a flashback to the I AM Cover maybe... .
I don't know if I would use it actually as a towel haha

I think that's reaching but I'm curious as to why you say that. I could never equate that god-awful towel with the beauty that is the I am... cover.

So similar. It's kind of interesting since they both collaborated and Keiko is an influence of Ayu.:)

*scream inside loudly*


I can see Just The Beginning images get inspired by Poker Face.

lol, true. We can't have that!

It's discouraging seeing how many times something like this has happened - with ayu's legacy, her team (/herself?) is capable of so much more than this.

This picture is fierce, iconic, and amazing :heart

Everything I can see in this picture is how Ayu has just one boob. I admit sometimes I have really odd thoughts

TBH I like these shots far more than soft angelic sweet princess stuff. Which we also have tons of. I think Ayu likes being naked. Not shade, I think she's quite comfortable in her own skin. Also it triggers her haters so much haha.

But I wish there was consistency. Red is my favorite color, so I do wish she went all out.

LOL

I wish she (or TA) be more creative.

Like redo the iconic CD covers with the same pose

Namie did that for her tour goods few years ago.

Anyway some of these goods are just limited to the first part of the tour. The rest of the tour would probably have another set of goods (from the same photoshoot series maybe?)

$_$

I don't like it :no:no:no

So far I can't say I like these goods.

1st post updated with prices and one new Good (notebook)
page will be up on thuersday, sale will start friday at 7pm Japan time

6000 yen for coaster?..

You get one coaster for free for every 6000 Yen you spent on goods, the coaster can´t be bought.

^Oh I see

Ooo that's a cool extra! 6000 is about my limit this pay as well so that's a nice little bonus.

Okay the notebook pic is great, gimme one!!

7500 yen for the tank?? I love it, but it doesn't worth it imo.

Idk, the whole naked thing has been so played out now. She can't do it any better than she already has done it. It so repetitive now and kind of like "low hanging fruit" to grab for attention.

At this point it comes off as
"well I ain't got much else so here's my tit."

It looks to me like it is more like a basketball jersey than a regular tank; that's probably why.

the notebook is cool, sadly the tshirt is meh and the starter collaboration is expensive :(

Basketball jerseys can run for much more and it will likely last FOREVER so it is worth it if you do buy one.

At this point I think she just likes to be naked and is proud of it. She's done it too many times for it to be as effective as the first time that it was surprising and 'fresh'. Now it's like her titty slips out and wam bam photoshoot! since it has happened so many times and for a time, it was like every year she did a "nude" shoot in some form for something. I'd like for her to stop if only because I'm kinda worried about how it makes her look but she's going to do what she wants regardless and it's not like a majority of people don't already have a sort of neutral/negative view of her.

I think her topless pictures are way more on the aesthetic side than trying to be sexy. I took some time to realize she was topless in that pic lol she looks amazing btw <3

I realised that they forgot the photoshop the lipstick on her on the towel.

The lightstick looks like something the sailor scouts would use lol..
Ayu Pink Glitter Power...MAAAAKE UP! xD
Is there anyway to buy the goods without going to the tour..I'm just worried I won't be able to make it to Osaka on those tour days :/

This is soooo unflattering. That top with whatever ambiguous bottom she's wearing is the opposite of thinning.

If this picture was a call-back to anything, I'd much sooner compare it to the cover of Poker Face.

^I really like that pic. :P

I thought the same. I was so sure i was gonna get the top tank but when i saw the price it just doesn't make sense, its too expensive i could buy two or three piece with better design and brand than that with that price.

special page opened
http://shop.mu-mo.net/st/special/ayu2017/

I like the bottle covers, I have a team ayu one and its looking a bit worn so I'm hoping I can get a new one in the gachas. :)

Oh I thought these were supposed to be some cheap leg warmers lmao! Looks better on the bottle :P

Actually, this is a good idea. it can Cover the embarrassing drinks :P

And the album tour:
(A)NUSTHING IS POSSIBLE

Wow this page was talking about dildos and condoms, everyone was ok by it but when ayu shows a bit of boob everyone is offended?

You guys are something else...... 3edgy5me

lol. This.

:yes

I didn't see anyone offended, just people not liking the picture for various reasons.

We are bored, not offended.

So less than an hour to go, wanna make some bets what will be sold out first?

I put my bet on the backpack, but I guess Lightstick + shopping bag will also be sold out fast.

Snacks and maybe flask

Ordering is OPEN!!!

The lightstick isn't available on the international website but the cookies are. Very odd.

I got the keychain, cookies, notebook and 8 gachas. :luv2

The backpack was sold out within SECONDS! :O

And yeah it is very odd, had to order from japanese site because of the missing light stick. guess it is because of the battery inside

^Damn, I was wanting it but couldn't afford it this week. Guess I'll get a different, cheaper backpack lol.

I Think the backpack is toooooo expensive. But I was able to get one for a Friend

Where can I buy some of these goods? Is there any English website that ships them to Europe?

right now at the mu-mo + tenso

maybe later they will appear at yesasia

Was thinking the same :laugh

Also lubes. I thought I was the only one not getting laid lately and thinking too much.

Ayu showed her boobs so many times in the past, (Loveppears, appears, I am..., Rainbow, Mirrocle World cover) and people didn't get offended or bored of that until now.

^ I don't think that anyone is shocked at her having her boobs out, its just a really bad picture of her doing so. The fishnets cut her off and make her look like she has more weight on and the way she's posed is awk and she looks like she only has one boob.

^See, that's what I was thinking. I barely notice anymore when she decides to go topless in her pictures...like, she's done it so much that it seriously doesn't even stand out to me at this point.

Looking at the picture now, I still think it's unflattering but I do think her face is pretty. XD

Right? She's done it a lot but most of those photos were ...well, good. lol
I think that the skirt she chose to wear was a bad choice. It would've looked better had she worn jeans because you can't really tell her shape as it blends into the background. Maybe get rid of the mesh/fishnet too.

I like her face and her hair a lot though

I think I am ok with that picture. We have seen some really bad pictures of her before.

That's fine, I was just explaining why I felt the way that I did.
But people can like something I don't, and I'm not buying that at the end of the day.

I would totally buy this towel (I mean, I bought that useless bunny mask of CdM why not buying a towel with her picture on it? lol)! I love the fishnet, I love the single boob, YES

Heading into Yokohama soon. Will try to take a lot of pictures! First Ayu concert, I can't wait :D

Woohoo! Have fun!

^Thanks Aderianu! Are those acrylic pins from the gacha?

^looks like it

sold out goods - notebook, backpack and bandana

http://i.imgur.com/0pTGUFQl.jpg

they all look awesome! i'd love a notebook I really like that photo with the red lipstick. and that snack box is adorable!! <3

the snack box is sooo cool, glad I bought it^^

You know, when you see the goods all together on the item board they don't look as disconnected as they did when she revealed them 2 at a time.

(the logo looks better in black & white as well)

Same here, I always try and buy ayu's cookies in each tour because I just love the cases/cotnainers that they come in. It's hard to pinpoint my favourite but the HLS cookies in the plastic bucket are probably at the top.

The cookie box is nice. After eating all cookies you can reuse it as a jewellery box or something else.

The condom snack box is bigger than I thought

at the end of second day more goods we sold out

http://i.imgur.com/aFkBPBOl.jpg

Do these soldout products still available online?

LMAO stahp 💀

Seriously tho, this box is cute as hell

They still have it available on mumo...

Now I have the question for the person who manages the inventory...
The tour goods have been always sold out at the locations.. why can't that person change the inventory and put more goods at the tour locations? I believe that can sell the goods quickly?

Because they only have a certain amount of tour goods at the venue, they need to be transported and stored, you can´t store more goods if you do not have more space....
