^ sorry, I understand English is not your first language, but that was the most confusing, if not weirdest post in which you are contradicting yourself constantly (probably because you refuse to compare Ayu with Madonna)

Oh, I thought that would happen someday! Let me say I don't "refuse" it, if it really sounded like that. I just think she has some things together with Cher, being an entertainer more than just a singer or a dancer but many things with Madonna too, a hard tour life etc.. I'm very sorry for that post and my terrible English in it! I guess it has something to do that while writing that post I realized she HAS many things woth Madonna in common! Still, I'm very sorry!

Definitely.

by hairstyle it's ~AT2005, by wig it's AT2006

ohh the Rebel Diva at that time :luv2:luv2:luv2

Still, I apologize for that weird postA

that outfit LOL

It looks 2003 to me, her hair is much lighter.

My first thought was one of the fairyland TV performances but after staring at it for a while i'm not so sure lol

What is that dog name?

I liked this article:

My Japanese is rudimentary, so I had to translate many of the terms using dictionary, but it talks about how there is overwhelming support for Ayu from the gays, as opposed to general perception that people have of "Nobody has any interest in her!" The person speaking on her character on the second page is really kind, saying her determination to continue to sing despite loneliness is something to be revered. It also talks about her support for the gay community and I think at the end he wishes that people would come around to her again.

^I had found some japanese blogs about gay people talking about Ayu, and some Ayu drag queens over youtube... So, this might actually be the case.

At least the 80% of the Ayu fans (guys) that I know here in Tokyo are gay lol

looks like it is from fairyland era, maybe she just finished performing at a t.v studio and decided to keep the skirt on while leaving?

That kind of skirt and tshirt was a trend before :laugh
Oh the 2000s

The hair looks like the 'wolf' style from fairyland to HEAVEN before it got trimmed. Then she got the super long extensions plus a dark dye job for B&D/(m)u.

That year also had the dark brown/black layer under her reddish brown hair during STEP you towards the end of AT05. So many hair changes in 2005 now that I think about it.

I think it's the same from her performance at Music Fighter.

Ah yes, I remember now. She had like 4 different versions of the same outfit for that era.

Hey, no don't worry! You are entitled to your own opinion of course. I just did not get what you were trying to say. And I thought may be you did not get it either, because you wrote down some similarities between Ayu and Madonna, but considered Ayu more like an entertainer like Cher, because you don't like Madonna. That's how I read it and thought that did not make sense. Thank you for explaining. I personally do think that Ayu has more in common with Madonna than Cher, but hey, whatever. The reason why I like Ayu and don't care about the other two that much, is that her music is really outstanding in a way.
