but i dun understand..why does the ad has "trust me" in chinese instead of japanese..wouldn't the original version be a japanese version released in japan?

OMFG THE PICTURE IS GORGEOUS!!! This much marketing inside and outside of Japan is going to be SO GREAT for Ayu o_o AND hopefully WESTERN countries?!?! YAAAAY!!! :D :D :D

I would do anything to get all pictures of Ayu in lingerie. And it will be on my wall. My head exploded.

WOW!!!

ok... a new try for ayu isnt bad

This campaign will not be released in Japan for now, I think.

They're still deciding or something, while the Chinese promotion will start.. soon..

OMG WOW! I love it! I really hope I get to see her in the US. That would be amazing!

In this photo thing found at livedoor.. Ayu has no neck! :(

And her chest looks mighty strange.

Especially since she shot the inner booklet of (m)u..

Cool to see her overseas promotion has begun!

OMG, that picture is sooo cute!
And she looks so hot. I really hope she will also promote the lingerie in the Netherlands.

It would so great if this would be the first step of promoting Ayu outside Asia. Who knows, maybe we are able to buy Ayu CDs in our own countries.

I'm so excited!

By looking at this picture I realize how much Ayumi has changed since 1993-1998 till now. It's fabulous and hot. :luv2 This should lead to good things.

OMG!speechless... i really hope we can see those pics in Europe!

and there is a video???

i love this one

Agreed!

Beutifullll.... n gorgeous
OMG, SHe's soooooo everything...

I don't know that wacoal is peach john. I used to use Wacoal, but now that I am in the states, I don't have preference. But Wacoal is a good brand, In the states I never find any underwear that really fit into me, not even Victoria's Secret, but afterall, I'm an Asian, probably all the brand here in the states isn't made for Asian?

When i first heard shed be promoting lingerie, I was a little hesitant...but this picture is awesome! Now Im really excited to see the rest....I cant wait! :D

I really hope that they are gonna use this in the US and Europe. :luv2

Thank you for the clip!! Ayu is gorgeous!

Ahh the Japanese comment on the clip is kinda mean isn't it. >.>

Wow! I hope it's true and I want to see Ayu in Germany on big billboards ^.^

Looks great, I really like. :yes

thanks for the clip... uhhh, the making of this kind of photoshots must be sexy, and this is sexy...

one cap more..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...nap-114142.jpg

So it's happening now...

Seeing how she's crossing her 30 years old border, she's now on her way to become a grown-up star. This is really going to mature her image.

I think a new era is coming.

Very sexy.....

I think this is her sexiest pict

wow...ayu is so SEXY!!!
her boobs become big...XD LOL
wow mika john can be a photographer too? that's cool
wacoal is a big brand...ayu popularity outside japan, will be rising again...YAY!!!
maybe her new song title is [Trust me]? i hope its not just a motto

Oh, what did they say? I can't read japanese...

hoho! thanks for the pic! but i doubt ayu's boobs are that big! :P

Thanks for linking to the vid :)
I really can't wait to see the other pictures ^^

MikaJohn really did the photoshoot? :O That's kinda cool~

I want to see the other pictures soon too~ ^0^

I don't understand exactly, but: (Translation of comment made on youtube video of Ayu's new wacoal tie-in)


It is not shown in Japan because in Japan, there is no need.
Her songs being so half-hearted, that's why she must undress now, eh
Plastic surgery pig
China and Korea etc. is perfect for this.

Meh, yeah. >.>

i can't wait to see the hq photoshoots and ads!!

Ayu looks gorgeous in that clip!

and the slogan is called "Trust Me"

lol wah?

her boobs become so big because she's wearing the push up bra..
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mika john is the photographer who shot MY STORY booklet if i'm not mistaken~
and also Mirrorcle World too~

yeaaaaaaa i really want another new single with Trust me title!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOCUTEANDSEXY!! Ayuuuu~
Such good news to hear this will go around the world.

WORLD MEETS AYU!
It's about damn time.

It's a really major breakthrough for ayu's career....hope it'll be positive...

(wow...9pages in less than 17hours!! )

Wow that comment made on youtube is so rude :/

AyUmIXx~ I believe Leslie Kee shot the MY STORY book. Mika John shot the (miss) understood book.

Ayu so sexy!!! hoho

:shakehead Mika John is not a professional photographer, she is/was the CEO of Peach John which is now owned by Wacoal. But she unfortunately did the cover and booklet of (miss)understood ;_;


And the My Story Photoshoot was done by Leslie Kee. I don't know who was the photographer of MW but you can look it up in the MW booklet.


EDIT:


Here is another photo from the shoot:

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2864/ayuud7.jpg

Ayu looks sooooo stunning in that photo!!! *___*

And as for Mika John doing the photoshoot for (miss)understood-- eh, I didn't know that. XD; Is that why...

Actually, I made a mistake. Mika did only the booklet of (m)u, the covers were done by someone else. Not that it really matters anyway ;_;

Kazuyoshi Shimomura was the person who directed the Mirrorcle World PV and also photographer for the cover. Not Mika John.

wow...i like the other photoshoots from the youtube link~so good!

yea tt was the pic tt i like!!:luv2

and that guy on the top was so shocked to see that pic!!:tipsy

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
AYU IS SO FREAKING HOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*__* she's like seducing me o.0!!!!
GOD DAMN !@#?!% HOT AYU CHAN ><"

Thanks for the news, picture and video link. :)

Wow... she looks really gorgeous, and a lot more mature. ^.^ Can't wait to see the other pictures from the shoot.

Ayu bra ads in the States, huh?

Oh geez, my friends are totally going to know who she is just because of me...

wow, the YouTube comment is very rude yes.
But no matter what they say Ayu is still our queen and she will always be beautiful!

Is it already sure if this ad is gonna be in the US or Europe? Or is just a rumour?

It's a rumor.. a dream, lol. :P The countries where the campaign is going to be used were posted some pages ago.

Some Japanese people [mainly 2ch users] are completely immature and bitter.

my god!!!! i thought the other thread about her in a wacoal ad was fake! i never imagined that she would say yes to posing for ingerie. but then, it's a beautiful photo.

i wonder what sort of backlash she'll get for this; and what damage control will do.

we may find it to be classy and sexy but there are those out there who are prude enough to attack at any given moment. (ie the comment left on youtube).

regardless, she looks beautiful and she looks her age.

what the people said at youtube or 2nd about it?
i want to know it...i really want to smack them, if they talk bad about it
they are just jealous of her appealing

amazing!

To be quite honest, people can say what they want, but I don't think that she'll get too much of a backlash. It's probably moreso the individuals who hate Ayu with a passion that will be lashing against this promotion, mostly since she's a pretty mature woman now imo and it seems like the right time for her to do something like this. Had Ayu been like 20 and done lingerie, I'd have questioned it, but right now is the perfect time, I'd say.

YEAH!! Now it's offical!!
I love the picture, now we get attractive pictures of Ayu, I'm so glad you can't imagine!!

I think it's good that Ayu goes global in this kind of case
but not with here music.

Maybe I'll purchase these lingerie!!

of course i agree, i was just coming from the idea of a younger audiance that may not grasp that mindset as well as the older crowd that is still too old fashioned.

i must say that her boobs look a little brushed though. that cleavage is off for someone who is laying on their side lol, even if it is a push-up bra.

They probably added some post-production cleavage... I mean, Ayu definitely doesn't have that in videos where she kinda wears a push-up.

Yay, official!

omg, that's hot! wow, she's the sexiest woman alive, imo! hubba hubba... so excited for her!!!

eh... thanks for the info. but man...

i, personally, don't like this. I like her getting more attention in other countries but not like this... Itz like she's back to her idol days of wearing skimpy stuff to get noticed... >.< I LOVE Ayu but I hope these ads aren't in the US. I don't want her to start here with that kind of attention. Just my opinion. She looks gorgeous but I really don't appreciate women putting themselves out like that...

They called her a plastic surgery pig? How rude...the whole thing...

No matter, Ayu is our Ayu and I'm glad she is keeping it classy and wonderful for us <3

well...what's wrong promoting bra? you use bra too right?
its not a cheesy product, its WACOAL!!! its BIG!!! even my mom use it XD
so...i feel proud...although yeah, there is just a thin line between cheesy and classy, depend on how you look at it

Skimpy stuff to get noticed?

I dunno, it seems more like a mature career move. She's worn lingerie in magazine shoots, and I don't think this is to be skimpy or to cater to the "idol" crowd. It's sort of different in a way. I mean, heck, Ayu's best friend is the one heading the project. I have faith that she's not doing this simply to get attention and is rather doing it because she feels that it's the next step in her career.

Actually I dont see any wrong in this? I mean the pic is graceful and tasty. Not tacky that they can be. The project surley is nicley done (I mean, Ayu often have full controll of things she does), and come on, theres nothing wrong with showing up when you have such a great body! For example, I love CZ-J and she have done these kind of things before, very nicely and full of class! And she doesnt looks any less of an actress because of that. No I think thats if Ayu does this I see nothing wrong about it and I actually think that its a pretty good way to promote yourself as a celeb. ^^

Great pic! ^^
