People also do it as a sign of remorse.

Or because they like it.

We could sit here all day debating the underlying reasons for Why Timmy Shaved His Head but unless he says something it’s all just speculation so what’s the point

I always thought her dogs are petite. They're quite big!

First thing that ran through my head when I saw the red tulle around the tree was that she found a new use for the Mirrorcle World dress lol

check out her new Instagram post. I couldn't tell whether she's still pregnant at this point!

Of course she’s still pregnant.

Is it just me or the legs look weird in the new photo >.>

I think you only wear what she is wearing if you are still pregnant.

Tetsuya Komuro has always been problematic, put on mind that he was arrested in 2006 but Avex paid the bail

^ Yeah, he has been linked to drug scandals etc., since way before the Keiko thing. As mentioned previously, Japan seems to have a short memory for transgressions by men.

The flash makes it look like everything is photoshopped in hahahaha

A stocking for Ayu, her mama, and one for each child?

She said she’s going to the studio these days...
Like, a recording studio?! Ayu, are you making music?!

Also, unrelated—Ayu really looks good in hats. Like, I look terrible in hats. Absolutely awful. But she can literally rock anything lol.

We can hope. Imagine having a new album next year. 5 years since the last one omg

Edit: omg guys go watch her latest stories. Is that a belly I’m seeing? :luv2 She looks awesome.

^ I'm sure that's a belly! she looks so good :luv2

I'm so oblivious to maternity fashion lol

anyways in one of her most recent stories you can see her walking around and the bump is more clearly shown

I think this pretty much confirms that we're going to see a heavily pregnant ayu in concert, OR she will have delivered the baby just in time for rehearsals

Guys. The baby is not coming before the end of the year. She does not magically have a shorter gestational period just because she’s got a year-end concert to get on with.

Maybe recording the voiceover for the concerts intros?

Just saw Yocchan and rest of the band rehearsing/recording on her IG and I'm just wondering if they'll be with her on stage :luv2 they could be just recording the instrumental but it would be awesome to have a live band again, it's been so long! Whatever the case is, I'm really glad Yocchan is still working with her :yes

OMG I was so happy to see Yoshio in her story!!

I really loved her total black look! and her hair looks great! she's absolutely gorgeous

I’m so confused. Surely she wouldn’t do cdl whilst heavily pregnant? Is that even safe? How would she even have the energy? Even if she had an elective caesarian she would still have to rest for 6 weeks afterwards. The timing just doesn’t make sense. Only thing I can think of is she’s using a surrogate (which would make sense for her age, lifestyle etc) and is pretending to be pregnant because she doesn’t want the Japanese public to flip out (we all know how they love to judge her). Anyway, doesn’t matter and I’m probably way off. It just makes me curious.

^ that’s the wildest thing I’ve read in a while

^ it has her point tho. I think she’s pregnant and will still be at CDL, she’ll just do a stripped down show I guess. Besides, I don’t remotely know what being pregnant feels like but my bet is that you’re not disabled or anything like that lol

Knowing how good she sounds being pregnant, can we expect a more music focused concert and less show? Will this be the concert we all have been hoping for? :luv2

^ Evan posted above that Yoshio + band was in her instagram story, so fingers crossed for return of the band or at least dope “live-sounding” instrumentals”

She performed 3 hours after falling from a 2meters platform (DOME Tour), had a needle inside her dress (CDL 2007), under intense pain after falling from stairs in her house (premium CDL), got back to tour after 2 weeks of having pneumonia, kept performing for over 2hours after falling on stage and bruise her ankle (CDL 2019). I think performing pregnant will be easy lol

Wow, the girl really doesn’t put her health first! That’s crazy.

She had a needle in her dress??

By the way guys, I was just speculating for fun lol

Concert tour 2000?

Wasn´t that 2017 for Just the beginning Tour?

I think she had pneumonia during one of the TA Tours in 2015 or 2016.

Jesus Christ.

This is a completely uneducated question as I honestly don't know much about pregnancy but is the high volume sound not going to be a problem for a baby to be, even if she doesn't move around too much?

It's not the first time Ayu have a concert while pregnant. Im sure she wont do it if it affects her baby. Theres a lot of other celebrities who did the same.

Its so cute that she is sharing so many images of herself, she must feel super cute being low key pregnant. Props to her.

Those sneakers she's wearing are a collaboration between G-Dragon and Nike! :yes

I remember there was a news article about it right after CDL 2007-2008. That a needle was left in her dress and she kept performing while bleeding inside the dress. (during the Together when... performance) She never confirmed (obviously)

I read this article through bad Google Translator, so correct me if I'm wrong, but she revealed her first child was born at November 28 last year?

Guess I misunderstood everything, but I'm curious about it.

The article doesn’t say that.

It does reconfirm that both kids have the same father, though (still identified only as ~a younger man)

She posted this picture on 27th November so I doubt she gave birth one day later

I recall reading some articles saying she gave birth by the end of November 2019, but seeing her insta makes it so difficult to grasp when it really was lol

I love that Ayu decided to have kids on her own. Two failed husbands and a grass eater couldn't get it done so she just said eff the lot of you, I'll do it myself

:roflmao

Not sure if YouTube qualifies as a social media, but what the heck is the Voyage video with zero views she posted 8 hours ago? The thumbnail looks quite... homemade x)

Didn't see it or get a notification! Any screenshot of it?

Actually I can play the video now, which I couldn’t yesterday. Seems to just be a reupload of Voyage?

https://youtu.be/afofZ71ePH0

Interesting, nice find!

Voyage was actually featured on a winter compilation/digital album by avex, released today in Japan, Fuyu no Monogatari (Tales of winter?) and uploaded on Youtube, hence the weird cover and why it wasn't available yesterday.

A bit surprised about the choice, as Voyage isn't the first song that pops into my head when thinking about winter, but why not ?

omg she's just like Holidays Barbie :heart:
