A COMPLETE HAIR? YES YES YES THIS IS DELICIOUS

that extremely light blonde (&pinkish) hair doesn't suit her at ALL...

she doesn't look veeery young anymore imo, she looks cool with her age,she's still fresh and attractive.
That's not criticism, it's just an appreciation of how good she's growing older.

^
agree! She doesn't look like in her twenties anymore but she looks like a beautiful 33 old woman now.
Ayu is a gorgeous obaasan :heart lol

I guess Team Ayu membership is good if you go to a lot of Ayu's concerts

don't know where these come from, found on ayuangel.com (:
it's nice imo, wish it was darker but well, i'm glad she has longer hair!

AHH!! the long hair is back!
Im in HEAVEN.

Not a big fan of the curls or colour, but it's nice lol

My thought on hair is now "Ayumi Hamasaki vs. Sayuri Sugawara", based on what I'm seeing...

photos from her latest TA entry

She looks like Hyoyeon's sassy noona now.

She looks cute! Much better!!

Long, curly and blonde? I am in heaven, my favourite style on her~

She's looking rather... off in that first photo though. Probably just a really unflattering angle and the face she's pulling.

Her hair isn't that long... I'd call that medium.

Kind of reminds me of Rainbow era hair!

not long at all :thud

so pretty :luv2

Oh.. I really like her hair in the new pics. (^-^)

Sometimes I feel like they'd do the same thing with Ayu's twitter account. I could imagine that it's not always Ayu who posts new tweets on her twitter page.

I just want her hair to be brown :D Good that it's little bit longer now. (Could be longer)

longer hair <3 <3

Kinda cute, that definitely a medium one... or maybe she's gonna add extra hair so the length would be the same as a complete cover hair idk. Much appreciated if its in dark color imo.

<offtopic> (don't know where to post) why is ayu's last.fm reset to 0 plays (0 listeners) ??? omg

^must just be a glitch, cause obvi that's not right.

i thought she was kpop girl
lol...

NEW HAIR MEANS NEW SINGLE! LLOLL!!!
that really suits the summer :)

^I hope you're right! Lol

She needs to do it soon!
I really cant wait that much longer!

I know, hard to believe that she hasn't released a single since 2010.09.29! Definitely the longest gap between singles in her entire career. Sigh :/

I hope she makes up for it!
Something like koda's 12 weeks of Christmas would be fantastic!

^^12 weeks of Christmas? LOL what?

You mean 12 weeks of singles?

It was during christmas... I thought thats what is was called... unless im thinking about something else?

^^Maybe you're right, I don't think I've ever heard to it referred as that before, haha. Oh well :)

^ I looked it up, here: http://www.generasia.com/wiki/You_(Koda_Kumi)
they call it 12 days of Christmas...

I thought it was weeks since, well, she released it in 12 weeks... but okay.

I don't think ayu could get away with something like that now. Maybe in her hey day...

I don't remember it ever being related to X-Mas, since some of the singles were released like, in February.

On topic: Maybe new hair does mean new single. Something Rainbow-esque since hair is similar to that of Rainbow times? Yes, please :D

Ayu's new hair!!!! kyaaaaa she looked so fresh! reminded me of her My Story Tour hair,if you remember :D

Just read on teamayu that ayu is having her first show in hokkaido this weekend in three years? has ayu ever spoke out against or about ainu people??

I like her hair that way..
cant wait to see what happens in the coming weeks...

and timmy is startin to look a little buff...

Love that longer hair!

It seems like her and Timmy are attached at the hip nowadays...

love the color <3 I wish it was long long, but I think it looks more natural this way...

it actually...reminds me of Penny on the big bang theory lol

^^Is that Kaley Cuoco's character? I find her so annoying LOL

yeah lol

I like her :P

^OT but I always thought she was annoying, and I really did not like her on Charmed lol

^I think I stopped watching it before she was there...lol


so anyway, yeah, that ayu...she's uh...got extensions...I bet it cost her over $1000.

I'm just glad she got them!

You're probably joking, but yeah, it easily cost over $1,000. High quality hair alone could cost more than that much (before they are attached). And attachment, depending on the method used, could cost a lot more, especially with the high-end options out there.
[/extension soapbox]

lol I actually wasn't ;)

Seen countless girls going for high end extensions. And then any possible dye jobs, styling, products, etc...yeah. Well over.


This IS california, I know you know whats up :P

she's even more annoying than her character irl

thats because she was horrible of charmed! lol
But she is enjoyable on this show... in fact the show itself is quite enjoyable!

wait a minute... what thread is this, lol?
Must find way to make it relevant.... um... um... Her hair reminds me of Penny as well! lol

Really? I really like Penny.. I think Amy is annoying.
She was in Chamed to? I didn't realized here there... maybee because I don't really watches Chamed.
I can't open the newes Ayu pic.. (-.-)

she got hair extension>???

Once the photo loaded and I saw Timmy sitting there... :eviltongu

MAN, i forgot the hate for Timmy here, lol.

^Seriously. People are so rude, I'm fairly certain he has read and has been hurt by people's comments.

^ Your in Japan, right...
have you meet other fans around that area?
What are their feelings on timmy?

^The girls were crazy for him at the concerts. They seem to really support him as a friend of Ayu and part of the Ayu team.

thats good!
I guess its just here, lol.

Yup!
:yes

:roflmao funny

Yeap, he read some of the comments and got hurt by them... But I believe it wasn't over here...

It's not always about jealousy people, lol.

I feel he has added nothing to the state of Ayu's music career and the songs he has composed and/or been featured in. It is nothing against him as a person, but when BRILLANTE is the only good thing that has come out since he was introduced to Ayu, and when every other song he has lent his vocals to (NaNaNa, Tell me why, Return Road) has made me cringe every time his part comes out of nowhere (it really does not fit in Return Road or Tell me why - Shake It on the other hand I can handle his part - it fits), it only makes sense that I do not like him being such a HUGE influence in her music and career now. Once again, my reason for disliking him is not due to jealousy - there are valid points to be made by most people who feel the same way.

And playing the jealousy card is just about as gross as the people who play the "haters" card (hater gonna hate, I love my haters, my name must taste good cuz it's always in your mouth, etc.) - that is so sick. Lol.

^ I just want to say that pulling the jealousy card is ridiculous as well, (and I know you weren't talk to me) but.....

by you saying:
makes it on a personal level about the man himself which i dont think is called for... You may not like him with Ayumi's music whatever, but people attack him for no reason. (besides not liking what he brings to ayumi's music). And Im not just saying you are doing it... there is a lot of hate in this forum towards the man.
Some is legit. You dont have to like his music, but actual HATE towards him on a personal level is just... gross.

I don't know about all this, but I follow ayu for ayu, not for ayu and co. So when I saw that picture I also went kinda like "oh... he's still here?".

I don't care anymore but he better don't touch the tales of xillia 2 song or else.

^Thats Ayu's decision.

best post i've read on this forum in a long time. :thumbsup i agree 100%. glad someone finally said this

Loving Ayus new hair! She already looks like 10 years younger. ^^

The world's not all about rainbows and unicorns ^^ He should've been prepared for stuff like that.

I don't mind him nor do I mind Ayu hanging out with him. If she's having fun and likes the guy no one's to judge her for doing that. Plus look on a brighter side, Ayu's learning English!

So far Timmy's songs have been pretty good so he's done a solid job as a composer as well. I don't think his vocals were needed in quite a few of those songs, but you win some you loose some :)

As for her new hairstyle -> <3 really reminds me of the one she had for MY STORY tour and STEP you PV.

finally, love that hair !

Oh.. thanks a lot. Now I also can see it. I really like this hair. Funny thing.. I was thinking about to cut my hair like this. But until now, I wasn't at the hairdresser. (^_^)

Not ALWAYS about jealousy, but sometimes it really is :shrug


It's just like when girls don't like me. Sometimes they aren't jealous, but a lot of times, they are :yes

Don't hate because we're beautiful okay?

The world is not about rainbows and unicorns... But it still pisses me off how some people feel it's ok being rude to people on internet while saying things they wouldn't have the balls to say in person.

I also believe it's very very stupid to get annoyed every time Timmy is close to Ayu on any no-official photo. I can understand disliking him as a singer, as a composer, as a photoshot extra and as a performer... But hating on him because he hang out with Ayu on events unrelated to work just shows u have some issues... People going as far as attacking him on twitter and facebook was really annoying too.

People are morons, but that's nothing new. As I said I dislike him actually singing in the studio recordings as it's quite needless, but I didn't mind him at the concert at all.

Ayu's new hairstyle is beautiful. :) It's very summer-y.

Awww poor Timmy, I wanna hug him and thanks him for makes Ayu Happy & Smile after all the hard times.

I quite like Timmy myself. I may not love all his songs but I'm interested to hear what he will come up with next! I also really liked NaNaNa too! Tbh I wasn't too sure what I would think of the rapping at first but I love it!

mi|kshake~

I have to agree with this 100%. This is how I feel towards Timmy, too. And that translates to how I see him in non-work related settings. I'm just... unexcited to see him. And, I think "Oh, God. He's still around, perhaps influencing Ayu...". And that's where the "hate" for seeing him just in general comes from. I know that final decisions are made by Ayu, but there is no doubt, in my mind, that he makes suggestions that Ayu ends up deciding on.

I didn't mean it as a personal attack. My reaction was similar to RayJason's. She hasn't been posting that many pictures with him so I had forgotten how she drags him everywhere.

I guess this attests to the fact of how lonely Ayu really is. She must be fascinated by the change-of-pace he has brought to her everyday life and the type of personalities she deals with on a daily basis. He certainly is very different than the everyday Japanese who interact with her day-to-day. It seems as though she really values his opinion on her works, and looks to him for new ideas. She has given him a lot of power and influence through her music. I guess you can't blame him - he is not going to turn down opportunities to compose/write music for her when she asks him to or shows interest in his creativity. It's not only the business side of things but I'm sure Timmy might feel that if he doesn't continue to create works for her, he would be of less value in her life and therefore might be pushed aside. They have become really close, no doubt - but you don't see many superstars getting that much influence from their besties.

I'm all for them hanging out. I'm all for Ayu having a good friend. But her way of showing she cares by ultimately morphing them into some sort of duo is bizarre.

On a side note, nobody had problems bashing her dancers when they were included in her PVs, and/or Shu-ya for being involved in so many of her performances/PVs. Not to mention, the anger towards Peco/Princess or anyone else she has worked with. It's no different in this case. Well, actually it is, because with all those folks, they were just part of Ayu's visionary - where as with Timmy, he basically has become her visionary.

It's just her personality imo.

Ayu tends to create her own little world and fill it with only the people she wants to fill it with.

And then they become a part of everything she does.

That's her bubble. And one of the reasons why, imo she's so out of touch...something we were talking on facebook about the other day.


Anyways...as far as the timmy hate and timmy...I think, there's negative reactions, and then there's negative to be hurtful. I think Timmy expected negativity...(or he just didn't know the scene that well lol)....but I don't think he expected actual HATE on him. Wasn't he at JPM anyway? That place...why even go there.

...is it jpm or jps...

He said he joined some sort of forum, dunno which one it was. Or I heard he did, anyway.

^^ you know she acts like someone that is constantly depressed and I cant even think og the term... but finding someone that you like and latching on till you drain them dry...
lol.

Jealousy is such an evil thing..

i don't like him or hate him, and i don't know why but i think pq would had turn out as bad even without him. i saw it coming since she release five.
but from all his songs i think brilliant is the only good one. i also dislike ayu&co , it was so much better when it was just ayu but that is not up to us to choose. sadly :(

It was JPM and people were ok at first, but I guess some really threw random hate at him, though imo I don't think it was that bad >_>

I like the photo with Timmy.
I also think it#s nice that she's got herself a friend that she likes being around. Ayu has always been a very isolated person and I think it's good for her to have that companion that she can lean on. I don't like what's he's doing with her musically, but I personally don't hate him, or even dislike him. I think it's nice. I'm pleased.

I don't see anything in Timmy to be jealous about, tbh

some people here mistake jealousy with annoyance

I just don't want his voice, 'composing', 'acting' etc anymore. any new album like PQ will literally kill me. just do not want

i dont hate him or like him either,but yes sometimes i got the kinda of boring feeling when seeing he is everywhere in Ayu's work. it happened so sudden,that we barely know him and then turned to be someone very special and important apparently. Ayu is someone whos really treasure her besties (yes me too) but in her case shes going to drag them in whatever shes doing.i wanna see Ayu alone,she can conquer and shine on the stage not Ayu and co and friends everywhere. yes she can choose whatever she wants to do and meeting new people is great for her,but not like one person for all the tasks including being in her album booklet :no

I don't know if this has already been shared but I like this picture lol:

About Timmy,

I think he's done great work with how beautiful you are, but that's it... He completely destroyed NaNaNa for me, and kinda turned me off in Return Road. The two jazz songs were the most terrible songs I ever could have heard from ayumi hamasaki (save for kanariya but still), let's not even begin about Happening Here... And I really don't like how he pushes himself in the frame, like "IT'S NOT AYU, IT'S AYU AND TIMMY *correction TIMMY AND AYU* *****ES". And if he can't dance, why even bother using him as dancer in your videoclips ayu? He looked awkward as hell in shake it and NaNaNa.

I get it that it's a 1 in a billion chance to get asked to compose, sing for, befriend ayu but please, ayu's sound is so different to what he has been doing, It's almost like she changed her own style because of him. And I also know that it's not good to stick to the same thing over and over again, but this 'new' sound they have been throwing over us won't do it either.

I also don't see anything to be jealous about... It's like ayu_ready? said, people confuse jealousy with annoyance, and it's kinda stupid to conclude that when one dislikes another 'jealousy' is the ultimate and only relevant reason. But OK, he's not that horrible that I want him to disappear forever. (like everyone wanted Shu-ya and PECO to) ~what is weird, is that the hate for them was/is absolutely fine LOL, oh AHS.

Sounds mean but I just have one request for ayu and the team behind Tales, please don't let Timmy touch the Tales of Xillia 2 song! Unless he can make something epic, though I don't see that happening anytime soon. :(

^

loooved it too! been wondering why there is so calm and no flash mob scene lol

AWW they are at Mikidees!!
Ahh.. i wish i was there.. sadness.

And LOOK, no Timmy! I hope everyone is happy.

I wonder what Timmy's favorite Ayu songs are, pre-FIVE.

I want that lime-colored hoodie ayu had on!

As for Timmy, people shouldn't be rude *******s. There is always a classy way to state your opinion, and sadly, a lot of morons don't have that skill.

I don't love him or hate him, but I feel like he and ayu click well, and probably have a good friendship. As I've said before, she was probably in a very dark place emotionally due to the divorce...so if he has been helping her through that, then I praise him and am thankful for him as I would never want ayu to be sad or alone.

With that said, I do hope that he is only minimally involved with her music post Party Queen.

^^I agree with you, except for your last sentence. I've never seen any backlash for others like DAI, Bounceback, CMJK, yuta nakano, HAL, etc...

Happening Here was recorded before she even met Timmy as far as I know...so I don't think he is the guy in the studio version...

I miss Ayu's pre-2011 era...
