I don't know about pounds but if you weight 40-50~ like Ayu..? 5kg is much :E

I knew it!

I think it's funny how the person who wrote the article said that she looked chubby but that in the covers of "Secret" she went back to her "skinnier" self. Hello? Don't they know it's photo editing? o____o

That's it - Her career is over. We can't have a fat popstar :no

Now let's all idolize Skeletor Nakashima

If no "secret" is revealed though... this album title made no sense o_o

Maybe the songs will be about Ayumi opening up about some things, quite like MY STORY. That's be like revealing secrets, and all of a sudden the album title makes some sense, heh. I'm starting to doubt that there's something like one huge secret behind it. We'll probably see if/when we get translations of the track Secret.

Still don't see the big deal. Who cares if she gained 10 kg? I hate it when people complain that she's "fat." It makes me just want to... :smackdown/:punch/:kick


...

sorry about that. anyway, me is glad that this news is confirmed. :yes

lmao...only 5kg? it seemed like 10 :x

she looked pretty funny in jewel though

me: -watches jewel- lololol what's wrong w/ her face!?

but she's still that though <3 pretty! :D she doesn't need to lose it!

I wonder what she ate O_o Its so hard for me to even gain 1 kg...

I'm guessing that it's not exactly what she ate, but how different it was from what she was eating regularly..

Like, it messed with her system and it was probably like too many calories for her from what her body was used to.. :D

hahaha, pregnant. that's going abit far

Oh, for Heaven's sake. Gaining 5 kg does not equal getting fat; especially in Ayu's case.

thats what I say! Her doctor probably told her to gain some weight! She also was on vacation in America and we all know what happens when you go on vacation! Food food and good food :yes... I don't think Ayu needs to stick to her diet all the time... Everyone deserves treats! Besides, what better time to do a little indulging before you release a new album and start getting ready for a CDL... You lose alot of weight during this time of yer with her preparations.

Pretty much, anything to get some rumours going around and create attention.

how much is 5 kg converted into pounds?

damn right !

a 30-minutes CNN interview

now i'd like to see that (with subtitles)

I wonder what will be brought up. I believe she'll mainly talk about things we already know, as the international audience who doesn't know anything about her would not be interested in a deep going interview. It'll probably be kept to her talking about her songwriting, recent songs and tours, promotion and so on. Maybe some about how avex picked her up.

hahaha... give her a break... watching diet is reli a hard thing to do...

She has to keep her diet if she wants to look fine. Now she looks chubby, her armpit areas... 5kg might not seem much, but at her height it shows a lot more. Hope she goes back to her normal weight soon.

:rolleyes ...how funny
