Oh I know there has been some backlash against HAL and his signature/standard sound.

ah really? never knew that. can't imagine why.

Comments like "generic" and his over-use of synth. I always liked HAL though.

^ that's unbelievable :P

Yeah, I always loved HAL too.

I wonder what "urgent private matter" came up in ayu's life that she couldn't go to Hokkaido? Hm...nothing too serious, I hope.

Eh...I don't see ayu's twitter list anymore or she changed it to private?
---
& I don't like how ayu sticks to something for so long...as if...that person is the last thing in the world...we need something NEW!

NEW HAIR!! :luv2
http://lockerz.com/s/216175124

Each time she does something new, it's always "I hate this!!" and "I hate this direction! I want the old ayu back" and when she goes back to old ways, it's that "it's so cheap" and "it sounds recycled".

hello summer hair :heart

She looks nice, but LESS pics and MORE music lol

SUMMER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

its nice but it looks the same...

I love the new hair! So cute!!

poor girl! :thud

Ayu is anything but poor. Lol.

Love her new hairstyle, it is so fresh!!!

in love with her new hairstyle too, so summerish!

I think its lighter, it looks great

Wow, hard to recognize her with those sunglasses. She almostly tricked me for looking like Paris Hilton. Anyway, her hair is... normal? Actually, it's great: because I have this hairstyle myself ;) No need to make an appointment. Saves me some money.

But I am in love with her fashionstyle. Look at what she's wearing! Those colours are freakin' awesome and so refreshing for the summer! Very inspirational. It's so simple, but Ayu never makes it looking cheap. I am about to buy some bright fabrics on the market next Friday. Ayu is right: summer screams for bright colours!

Oh, looking at the previous page, I saw there were some issues again about Timmy. I don't want to bring the drama up again, but I would like to add my opinion anyway:
I think nobody is really jealous of Timmy, and if somebody is: there is not really a need to. I follow , Timmy on facebook and I find him really interesting and fun to follow, allthough I cannot understand his Japanese updates. I see it like this: Timmy is close to Ayu, and us - accepting Timmy as well, makes us feel closer to Ayu. Try to understand Timmy's positive sides. Trust me, he has many.

^ When I look at the Party Queen CD+DVD ver. sometimes she tricks me by thinking it's Paris Hilton on the cover LOL

It doesn't surprise me the japanese girls like Timmy. Especially since he's been training and buffing up every more. I see the appeal! If only he wouldn't wear so much make-up, it's too much for me but whatever...

If I found a friend like Timmy, the way Ayu has found him, I would keep him around all the time as well. It's good for the soul, especially after a break-up.

^ its hard to say...
its not like any of us know the real timmy... i mean we know what he tweets and youtubes and we know what ayu tweets and TA's, but the real timmy??? Who knows what he acts like.

ugh his thick make up... :dead2

anyway how did Ayu find Timmy?

ps: suddenly i wish that Ayu will be back with Nagase,she didnt feel lonely and indeed shes really happy! for what we see like during My Story era,and the song My Honey for example :love

Ayu`s friends2 list on Twitter

.. does anyone know what happened to it??

and what about the real ayu??? ;) Who knows what she acts like.

^ I thought that was implied... if we dont know the real Timmy we dont know the real ayumi...
we know what she wants us to know.

We don't even know if she is all that lonely... People over here tend to assume, that, but as she barely talks about her personal life, she can have tons of close friends and we just don't know it...

I think the loney stems from her music and that fact that she went through a divorce...
personally I thought she went through the divorce was because it just wasn't working out... not that she was no longer in love or anything like that, but that the two of them were in different places....
so to say she's lonely... who knows? People can be surrounded by tons and tons of people but be lonely... lol...

too much backlash here.

I don't know how you can hate the guy who made classic Ayuhits back in the day and some kickass remixes back in her grand singles 2000 - 2001

^ because most of his remixes are horrible?

A lot of the remixes on old single releases were boring or uninteresting.

I've heard two remixes I wasn't a fan of but apart from that I LOVE HAL's remixes - M, Ever Free, Hanabi ~episode II~ <3

mi|kshake~

Just because his remixes weren't spazz out dance/trance mix, they're interesting compared to her typical ones that used to fill up her singles.

^ um, no... they were part of the mess that was her epic single filled remixes.

:think

wtf the stuff you're all discussing now is completely subjective. omg scary

I always thought HAL got old after a while, and everyone complained of that during 2006-08....
But I guess because mostly everyone dislikes everything new they act like they always loved it *insertrolleyesiconhere*

LOL could have been so!

I don't get all these complaints about Timmy, actually he's everwhere but who cares? As long as Ayu is happy in his company I don't see any matters

She can't win. No matter what she does. With fans like hers she doesn't need haters. :laugh

that's true... and it's very sad... :(

I don't think so.

I was wondering this the other day - do you think Ayu will have remixes on her new single?

Lord, I hope so!

tbh i love the ever free and boys & girls remixes, the other ones he did were disappointing but those were amazing.

^ I like some of them too, but over all they were just bad.

I like remixes on her singles, thats always a nice bonus, at least something I will listen to, I dont listen to instrumentals, never ever.

The instrumentals would be way better if they cut out the backing vocals completely! So you can just sit back and really enjoy the arrangement!

^I never understood why they don't do that.

I always thought they were for karaoke?

To be honest, I want her to walk The Path of The Koda(TM) and release a single with a gagillion songs (but only include one or two on the album). That way it won't be kind of a waste buying a single (I'm also not keen on remixes)

@TA I guess that makes sense.

It's still annoying to me though.

Yeah, I would love pure instruments!

numacchi's new avatar, wonder what is coming soon??!! curious!

a-nation 2012 goods? cuz that logo seems awfully a-nation-ish~

The vocals in her instrumental tracks are awesome tbh! When I listen to a song I like (lets say fated, and I listen to the instrumental track, I get amazed by how her backing vocals sound like. In some songs it's creepy, but I still like it! :D

SURREAL has perfect backing vocals.

I luv HAL's mixes off A single, and just the whole single

wow...

edit:
@crea_spain: beautiful new icon, I like it.(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
@numacchi_72: Thx!!!, but for this 1days or 2days only. It's just temporary. RT

@crea_spain: it would be a very nice logo for 15th anniversary (*^^*)
@numacchi_72: Oh, wait until you see it.(￣▽￣)RT

that new logo!!! AHHH!!! I love it!
A part of me wants it to be for a-nation... but another part of me wants it to be for either a 2nd leg of the current tour or an all new all different fall-winter tour to promote a NEW album!!!

^

yessss same here! and i red o Misa chan's blog that TA now having an urgent campaign for summer single,all TA members can choose what summer song they like base on Ayu's previous releases ,woow cool!

maybe something like kuu's dream music park for this years tour

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...x2_ceb8fd8.jpg

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...x2_ceb9f37.jpg

i still have no idea what that woman is doing in the first picture... lol

I liked her short hair....but ha extensions :lech
now, AYU, GO DARK XD

she's getting younger instead of getting older, how's that possible >_>

so cute!!!! A fun, beachy summer style~

thank you Aderianu for posting the pictures!! :)

Ayu's giving me hopes that I can look forever young. :)

lol..

Love her new look! She looks gorgeous

Unbelievable how much this thread has grown since the posting of pics with long hair. LOL.

Again new extantions? She had the lengh befor for only one week.. or what? Ah.. I really liked the medi-Long hair with the curles. But really long is also fine.

Me too. They looked somewhat like SURREAL haircut and I loved it :yes

looks beautiful.

im loving the new look, but does beg the question, why two different hair styles in two weeks?
but if you had as much money as she did, I think she could go for a different hairstyle a day if she wanted....

I still cannot believe it! Ayu with long hair again! I think the horrible FIVE - Party Queen era destroyed my hopes of PLHA (pretty long hair ayami).

She MUST shoot cover jackets for her upcoming [insert what is upcoming], or at least dozens of photoshoots / covers for magazines.

I NEED NOW

she looks so young with long hair

love her new hair!!
