yes she is thinner this year. and i like the way she is now.

Can someone post the photo from hong kong of her back? You can see her spine...she is ultimate thinspiration, inspires me to be a better thinner person

I could never be as thin as Ayu... I'm too bootylicious. I'd love to be as toned though.

I'm curious.. what do you find "weird" about her body?

never say never :P once upon a time I was a bootylicious girl as well but working my ass off in the gym literally worked my ass off.

Wow she looks amazing! Her stomach & legs are so perfect :luv2. I'm completely envious!

You can definitely tell she has toned up a bit from this pic.

Looks good minus that God-awful hairstyle and color. Yucky.

She looks way better in this pic than in some of her latest pics. She was too thin imo :/.
Actually I'd prefer her with some meat on bones :laugh. But she looks more healthy than before, now.

I love her new look! Her toned figure and the natural/casual look hairstyle and all was perfection!

i hope she can show more often that beautiful stomach

she looks great all the time, even she's chubby haha XD
and yes she looks so amazingly sexy now!

I wanna be toned like that... I'm skinny, but I want a toned body. XDDD

She looks gorgeous. She gained some weight after the broke up with Nagase but she's definitelyput herself back on the right track!

I think so too... :( Ayu being really thin isn't a great thing for her long-term health....I have tonnes of trouble with managing my health when I'm stressed and I wouldn't like the thought of Ayu feeling as ill as I do right now.

I don't care if she's thin or chubby, but for me, her happiness is most important...I don't think you can look at those photos from 08 and say "she's chubs" or "fat"...it sounds pretty harsh considering that she still looks damn good! :P

I don't thin its really a big change...she just toned up a lot more on places like her arms.

As someone else said earlier i don't ever remember her being chubby or even verging on it,=/ shes always looked healthy to me. I actually prefer her with a bit more to her, losing lots of weight esp from stress ages you as you grow older.

Though I do have to admit her stomach look damn good.

Pilates maybe?
Ayu looks like a model, hope she's not under too much pressure with pple calling her old and stuff...

She looks sexy even though in casual wear!
Love how she looks now =)

OH! What that what that was about? She broke up with him in 2007, so that would follow.

Soooo OT, but I use to kill myself burning around 5,000 calories/week and my booty literally went NOWHERE. I dropped 20 pounds but it all must have came from somewhere else because my ass was still huge LOL. :thud I've since learned to live with it.

I think Ayu's genetically prone to being thin, whether toned or untoned, and I'm just prone to not being thin LOL. :laugh Besides, weren't her boobs bigger when she had a little weight on? :lech Bring that Ayu back. :cool

great body shape!

I love her looks now more than her body during whole career :yes
