There are other ways to promote yourself, rather than posing nude for a photobook or a magazine. Hmm, .. I don't think Ayu would be a good role model for young girls if she did, because they look up to her, for the latest fashion, etc.

Ayu just needs to have another Handshaking Session like she did in Hong Kong, that would be alright in my opinion...

Wahh.. so surprising.. don't know what to say.. mb it's not true!

:thumbsup

AHHHHHHH booo hoooooo cry me a river no more like build me a bridge. Look if you really love ayu like you say you do you would support her not degrade her and tell her no. You guys know people over japan will eat that photobook up. Look at what Shinhwa did in japan and look at what madonna did. Both their popularity sky rocketed and so would Ayumi. I rather see Namie Amuro back in the spot light for a while and let Ayu take a break she won't why? because of Namie, BoA and Hikaru on her butt so shock the mind of the fans and do the nude thing. Ayu show them how hot you are and your real fans will support you not ***** about it and cry plus the older adults will get the mag though so no worries :)

its wrong... i like her how she is... she doesnt have to be no.1 she fine how she is.. and ill always be a fan but she doesnt have to go that far for just 1year of fame... i love her style of music and her personality not her body.. if she does she would be doing what american stars do for a year of fame..she looks hot and has a nice body and i'm a guy... but i dont want her to go naked if she does something like the rainbow cover i'm ok but if she go to far... dont know what i would do...my little sister look up to her she should worry about her image ..after all most of her fans are girls... she shouldnt do it..:thumbsup if shes famous or not true fans will always support her... like me..

DerrickRocks you're saying many things that are not true. People are giving opinions, not degrading. And most people here have stated that they would support her if she does it or not.

I've also stumbled on this news days ago......hmmmmmmm..... shall be interesting....... What's best is she'd completed this project !!!

Ayu is here because of her fans, and a lot of her fans wouldnt like to see her posing like this because they respect her and her music. Everyuone has their own different customs and ideas, so everyone's opinion should be accepted as an opinion, not as a put down fo ayu.

i will be shocked if she does release this... is it called uraayu2 :p ill probably buy it tho, just to confirm the fact it actually exists... playboy ayu http://www.scarling.net/scarboard/im...iles/1poke.gifhttp://www.scarling.net/scarboard/im...miles/eek2.gifhttp://www.scarling.net/scarboard/im...miles/eek2.gifhttp://www.scarling.net/scarboard/im...miles/eek2.gifhttp://www.scarling.net/scarboard/im...miles/eek2.gifhttp://www.scarling.net/scarboard/im...miles/eek2.gif

really really really if this is true, i feel ayu wouldnt do something so drastic as just being a naked woman --; im sure if it is true it will still be shocking and be talked about, but i bet it will be beautiful, because she is such a beautiful person

Well... Ayu.. I don't know what to say. I won't buy it cause I'm a girl... Ayu should become popular with the men because of this.

I doubt it's true, these rumors were reported earlier in January and such.

REALLY??????? awwwwwwwww

Well recently I heard from my frnd that Ayu's gonna posing for a nude Sashin pictorial...... nevertheless it's purely BS. Just don't believe it, alright guys?

hei, hei, guys, stop debatting this threads. uh, I think it's too hot here. What Ayu will do is her business, we can only WAIT AND SEE what will happen next. I DO not really believe in this issue. I think it's just a semi-nude Photobook like what other J-models do. But, if it will be really happened, then I'll buy it. Just like when I bought uraayu.

i will realli be very sad if she decides to release this photobook... bt maybe its Avex which force Ayu to do it i think she wun do this type of thing

its pretty low if she would stoop to this kind of level to revive her popularity

ok people we shouldnt worry i was just in her site and nuthing was up their ... her doing nude photoshoots for a magazine .. you know the same thing they said about her and that thai problem... with the queen,....chinese media always lie and hate ayumi...

Funky... it would be weird to see her nude even though many(I assume this) fantasize about her being nude in Japan. I mean she is one of the most wanted females of Japan isn't she?

As for popularity booster... she will be the talk of the town but that will only last a month, it won't increase her record sales, and will only be in the news as a drastic move...

She is only 23 and she has a pretty strudy relationship... would her boyfriend respect her for doing this?

This is indeed a very odd and bold/drastic move...

If she does, hopefully she doesn't have some weird nuclear powerplant growths on her or something... That would just be... Forget it...:idea

Hei, she's 25 this year. And hopefully, I'll celebrate her B'Day with my friends who love Ayu too.
