Yeah, I think that's the more reasonable explanation. Advertising is really common nowadays in instagram.

It doesn't feel like she needs to be sent gifts to promote them. She writes down all the stuff she wears in her Deji Deji Diary too, so it's just stating what's in the picture.

I feel like she's a bit above having to make some extra money from advertising on Instagram

I agree. Isn't Ayu one of the most paid celebrities ever in Japan? She's made millions. She doesn't need to do that kind of thing. I mean I am sure she gets sent gifts all the time but I doubt they are promo deals. Especially with Ayu always wanting to distance herself from being a "product". These days she just wants to make music with the fans. She is just posting things she likes.:yes

Yeah, I'm also doubting Atu gets sent gifts, unless it's explicitly stated that she's doing some sort of promotion for a brand. I totally think Ayu just likes her fancy things. And she should! She's worked hard for everything she has.

Oh, just an FYI, the blanket was a gift to her from a friend, I forgot who. Lemme check her IG.

EDIT: Looking back, I think the tweet was purged when they were on a deleting spree. I am fairly certain it was a gift from like Christophe Choo for her birthday. I remember seeing the red one folded up and her saying "Thank you for this beautiful gift!".

Me too! They'd suit her I think.
Also I like that you call them coffin nails too lol. Many people say ballerina nails. I prefer coffin. Call me morbid. :-p

Her hands looked so majestic with those big curved square nails! And she really brought that trend to Japan. It's so funny looking back at how every artists copied that from her once she became huge.

I would take coffin nails over square on Ayu. I detest square nails. I feel like they only belong on adult film actresses, lmao.

Technically her nails weren't coffin. I see coffin as long oval nails that have been cut ( some people called them squoval) Back in the day ayu was rocking a definite square!

I think people were just suggesting that she do the coffin style, not that she ever had them.

Ah cool. I totally agree! Honestly I just wish her nails were longer, regardless of style

I laughed so hard with this! hahahaha Genuine smile <3

Pizza is everything.

I hope ayu will use Instagram story soon. She doesn't need to use snapchat.

Who's this guy on the right?

Those sunglasses almost eat up her entire face haha. But she looks fabulous, regardless. Gosh, that toned belly is everything. Hashtag bodygoals for sure.

She looks so happy and sexy :love

Her body is looking so amazing! Her husband was really a good influence!

When I saw that on instagram the first thing I noticed was how skinny and toned her tummy was!
I feel like Ayu is getting into some serious shape. Before she was just thin but now she is toned and lean.:yes
