who knows:D
kinda DIY cd or something

Fans in Japan usually get together and write messages / give thanks to Ayu on a birthday disc. A few weeks before the date, they compile the stuff onto a CD/DVD or something [messages / art / etc] and they give it to her on the closest live to her birthday..

At least, that's just what I think.

she doesn't look fat in these pics.. either the resolution of the video is wrong or they stretch the pic :P LOL.

I prefer the resolution problem.. :P

I dunno whybut I think this time her bangs looked so bad
I want "I am..." era hair style

Her bangs are just fine. I think people disliked the ones during Startin' more. LOL

About the Ayu-bday thing:
There's a bunch of Japanese sites that get together and put things together to give to Ayu like I stated before.
Example of last year's (the webmaster of one of those sites is in the photo)

^That's ... sick? Or very very devoted. Unhealthily devoted :D.

She never looked fat, but I agree that she does look thinner than in the video.

Because she ain't fat at all...

Nice pics, thx =)

Lovely! I love her shoes, dress and hair.

Damn, Ayu loves her leggings!

thanks
interesting pics
she has so many posters
:love

Ha! That room is really something else...weirdish but cool.
Thanks for the info. as well! If someone is willing to translate they would be loved forever!

Aw, cute pictures :D Thanks for sharing the blog :)

Hooooo Temple of Ayu!! It's like the old days when guys like Michelangelo would go build massive cathedrals and stuff. I think that everyone has their own Ayu Temple, both physical and in their hearts. This one in particular is very much physical hahaha. Look at the bloody shelf! It fits in with the color scheme! And the custom pink A! You think she's a big player in TeamAyu?

I like her look. very similar to her SURREAL MV haristyle. I wish she uses her Rainbow era look. she was HOT then... the straight shiny hair, with the little pink die. Or she could do something similar to her free and easy style. Just no more short hair already. :p And I she is not fat. she just grew a little. Especially in the upper arms. Either that or her dress was a bit too tight that she has these weird underarm thingies which make her look a bit fat.

:heart so pretty

I think she looks beautiful indeed

Thanks for the pic! I think that Ayu looks fine.

omg...she is one extreme fan....o_O..but I want the stuff in her room...lol...she have a big size of ayupan in one of the pics in her website!! I want that!!

I think that if someone were to translate people's messages into Japanese, we'd be able to participate in this sort of thing.. maybe? lol

[the birthday CD]

how fun!

thx for the pics she looks so cute
