I don't care what it is but it needs to stop.
In A BEST 2 pics her lips make her look very mature but
in moon blossom look trying to be cute and failing.

with her hectic schedule, u think ayu have any time for any procedure?
think about it, its just the way of doing make-up which does wonders.

Didn't Ayu already put the collagen/surgery rumors to rest? Plus she advertised for lip plumper didn't she? It wouldn't be weird that she uses it. Plus if you look at any Japanese fashion magazine, all the girls are doing the SAME thing. And if you ask me, Kana Nishino's lips are scarier than Ayu's xD;

agree..using nude color + gloss my lips result bigger too..

I asked my aunt what she thought and she agrees that it's probably just make up~ ^_^ She said that Ayu wears so much make up that no one really knows what she does to her face. Soo I guess the general opinion of (at least my aunt's friends) youth in Japan isn't really sure :laugh
And honestly, how can we really be sure? It's all just speculation,hehe~

The collagen rumor, i don't know about that, at least she told us in a TAblog she drinks it.
And collagen injections i think she use it, it's an injection, and you barely have skin reactions on the injections. Such an injection sessions taken about 30 minutes, so it pretty simple to use it without it being noticed.

So surgery, i don't think so, but collagen injections, I think so.

OMG... so I'm not alone who noticed that O_O Something isn't ok with them... they look odd... they had such a beautiful shape...but I think it's the lipgloss that she's using + some make-up tricks (that even I know) to make them look bigger, let alone the pouting which she loves so much (I'm sick of it actually, her face starts to look like some porn star's with that.. -_-")...or some injections....>_> however if you'll look closelly her lips hadn't changed much, just the way she represents them..... *headdesk*

Seriously! I got a little ticked when I saw the comment about her losing her idenity... Umm... Fyi... Your idenity is something that is based on who you are in the inside... What appears on the outside means just about nada... If ayu wants to do something to her body,that's her choice... Who are we to make judgement of that? And that was a really bold thing that person on twitter did,asking her if she used collagen. I think as fans we shouldn't really make a deal out of what ayu does to enhance her beauty. I mean, it's her body not ours. As long as she keeps making good music,ayu could look like a japanese Pam anderson and I would not care.:yes

I don't get how she could lose her identity by bigger lips :shrug.
Ayu is a diva outside, but lovely inside. I love how she care of her image, but she not ignore her character and identity neither.
Would be worse if she starting to act like a *****y and superficial diva. She would lost her identity in that case.
But she's the same, even with big lips. She still write meaningful lyrics, and be lovely as always.

I think she has done some surger lately, and unfortunatly i have seen her horrible in the L.A fans pics and in some TV lives

Tbh I don't think her lips looks so horrible :| at least they looks natural and not a surgery failure like Lindsay Lohan's lips

Okay, seriously? We've had like 3 people here show proof of her having large lips many years ago, or her lips being normal now. Collagen doesn't just fluctuate in and out of appearing in your lips. If she had gotten collagen, her lips would look like they do on the GUILTY cover all the time. Period.

AND, let's just pretend she did get collagen. That's basically the most basic, no-fuss procedure you can get done. It's outpatient and done in injection form. It probably takes longer for her to do her freaking makeup every day. That's hardly 'losing her identity' since she'd just do the same thing with lip plumper constantly, and as I've said before, excessive use of lip plumper would cause more harm to her mouth anyway.

Either way, no one should care, nor should they judge her.

saying that ayu loses idenity by making her lips bigger, is like saying that ayu becomes a different person everytime she dyes her hair or gets hair extensions:/ and whether or not ppl think that ayu lips look weird is all based on personal taste...

lol, like all her fans would see all her tweets. :P

lol like in your sig.. her lips look gigantic! it's all from the lipstick~

idk, I think it's weird how sometimes people just say things like "yeah she had another nosejob recently" or "yeah she totally got a face lift recently, it's so obvious" not just with ayu, but other artists that are in the spotlight 24/7. it's like, if they did do this stuff when did they have the time? we're seeing them at least once a week and they're not all bandaged up from surgery. and if she had injections in her lips they would look really puffy all the time, not just in a few shoots/PV's.

:rolleyes This stuff comes up every year, seriously...

I don't think she's had collagen. I'm not saying she never will, but her lips keep going back and forth between OMFG HUGE and perfectly normal (usually depending on how candid the pic/video is). It's not consistent enough to be a long-lasting procedure.

It's very likely due to lip plumper (plus loads of Photoshop in still pictures). I don't like the look--especially that poofy pout. It looks too forced. Hopefully the trend will pass and Ayu will look normal even in magazine shoots again. :bsigh

Oh, and you know what? I would probably have a big problem with Ayu getting surgery, or even a "light" procedure like collagen or botox (no, I don't feel the same way about getting teeth fixed). But it is Ayu's body, and Ayu's self, and she can do what she wants in that sense. I'm not going to judge her character for it. She'll always be my inspirational Ayu. :heart

Oh, and one more thing! Ayu is one of those people whose facial features can look drastically different depending on makeup and lighting. Like, UNBELIEVABLY different. I don't mean necessarily her lips, but her cheekbones, nose, and facial shape as a whole. Some people like to think that every little change must be due to plastic surgery...and they ignore the (admittedly rare) normal, light-makeup pics throughout the years that indicate otherwise. :shrug

Yeah she doesn`t smoke at all, cause on Twitter she says she hates the smoke from cigarettes. =)

I don`t think she had some botox. But I agree, something with her face is different this year... I think because of wisdom teeth proceedure or something...

when I first saw this cover I was like "oh look ayu's normal lips again!" lol I think this is just them with normal lip gloss, no plumper. they look just fine too, she really doesn't need it.

Good to hear about the smoking! Ayu really needs to value her voice and treat it well! And of course her overall health...anyway, that's just good news. :heart

Getting your wisdom teeth out shouldn't make any kind of permanent change to your appearance. Yes, they can cause swelling for a few days (I had mine out a few years back btw), but I doubt Ayu would have done filming while suffering from visible swelling. If her face looks a bit thinner, it's probably due to lost weight. Especially considering how busy she is.

Also, I don't think she's had botox either. Or if she has...it was VERY well done. Because her face is still so expressive...I mean look at that wide smile she has in LA fan pictures. Botox basically paralyzes your muscles. Even a small amount of it would show as a kind of restraint in facial movement, if she had it.

I noticed a much bigger scandal: she wears fake nails!!!!
