Let's keep that London discussions going...

lol didn't realized it's already need a new thread :laugh

Thanks for this comment. I share absolutly your opinion.
Not everyone wanna have kids. It is a Choice, as you said right.
If she don't wanna have kids ever.. it is fine. It is her life.. and she can do, whatever she want.
And belive me.. it is not really nice to hear always "You have no kids? Why?" Why nobody ask "You have kids, why?"
So... maybee, she is not the type to have childeren. People also can have a happy life, without kids.

that's obvious; because having kids is amazing.

I know some people decide not to, and are happy with that, even when they're old and alone. But most people realize how awesome it is to have family.

The people who realize it most are the ones who have kids. Just ask your parents if you're not one.

Also, if you hadn't already found it, here's the planned March Route for Weds.

Obviously the trouble makers may also break away to nearby areas... so be aware.

also somethign about a taxi driver strike...

While I am not sure if having kids is amazing or not, as I am not a parent I think that people have the right to decide whether they want to be parents and not by themselves and that if for any reason they think they aren't ready they shouldn't have kids at the given time. From my point of view having kids of your own isn't all that different from adopting them, so while she might not be able to have kids of her own when she turns 45 I am sure that many kids out there would be lucky to have parents.

she just posted something on twitter!!! I don't really know japanese but google translate says she's now in Heathrow Airport!

New hair. =)

Maybe she is not done living her life yet. Ayu is very selfless, but for how many years now, it's always been about her. People answer to her and she has much power in the industry and much control over her career and personal life. If she were to have kids, all of that would change. Ayu would then basically have to answer to someone else and people would no longer be on her time, she would be on someone else's.

I am only 22 years old, and I am in no hurry to have children. Even when fellow high school classmates have gotten married and many of them having children (during high school and shortly after), it makes me realize I want to live my own life before I begin to center myself around someone else. Maybe when I'm in my mid-30s. But I want to enjoy my youth.

I guess no-one's there to greet her? :(

BAD UK!!! BAD!!

^ If i could "like" your post i so would! Ha!

This is what I think exactly.

Also, I don't know much about Ayu's past, but it doesn't seem like she had such a great childhood. Maybe she just doesn't want to put a child through something difficult. Maybe she's worried she won't be a good mom, etc. I've seen TONS of bad parents, working in the mental health industry, and believe me, not every parent is a good parent, and parents can be the worse for their children. Scars and traumatizes them for life. It's horrible.



AAAANNYWAY.

I'm sure nobody in the UK knew when she was going to land, she did not say when she was going to arrive, so how could any body know ??

Ayu will go to UK and ayu said about it in twitter / Weibo,
if ayu will go to BALI, she's not say anything about it!
She's not reply our question about when we meet her in BALI.
#IRONIC!

If I could be in the UK right now, I would have been more than happy to greet her. I sort of like her hair in the picture.

That was a vacation, private time. She's working here.

I love her hair!

Ayu, why are all your pictures unnecessarily grainy? I want a better shot of the hair!

Will ayu be staying in the same hotel as last time??? caz since she's already in the uk and i am still in my room X[

I'm not sure about this, but sure her hair definitely looks short here...

And based on the pyjamas that Ayu was wearing, she was flying first class on British Airways...

She's in "Claridge's hotel"*. It isn't far from Langham Hotel (for those who booked a hotel near there)
The cheapest room in Claridge's hotel it's about 700£/night x_x it's a lot more that i'll spend going London lol

*acording to aura at twitter who met her twice in the airport and few minutes ago :D

Perfect! =D

Now I am eargerly waiting for some sweet high resolution photos!! ^O^

At first I was like "ew" but then I realized I'm just glad it's no longer that horrid cut she had before. Yay.

gosh, she keeps releasing pics where I think it's her worst most unflattering picture ever, but then a new one comes out and takes its place. :tired

I love the fact that Ayu is fine posting pictures of herself where she doesn't look her best. She's more courageous than me, that's for sure.

the only thing wrong with that picture is the fish lips, as usual. other than that she looks perfectly fine. ;)

smh.

she looks so different at that photo ~.~ I like new hair though

tbh I've always thought she just doesn't realize how incredibly unflattering all the pictures she posts are.

I think she IS pretty oblivious.

Her eyes are weirdly huge.

I think I'll like the hair, but...yeah, right there it doesnt look that great.

^
^
I don't mind if they're unflattering pics imo. She's more natural. I mean, she's posing for booklets, magazine shoots, PVs and so on since 13 years. She doesn't need to do it everytime :laugh.

LOL I think she looks more like Je-jung or w/e his name is than on the FIVE album xD

her hair looks so fried :(
GO DARK, DAMMIT!

you guys should see the fan pictures her hair looks nice

I'm assuming that was the point. :mischief

lol ikr... i'm so selective about posting pics online.... i need to learn from her :laugh

WTVR~

may we hope that ayu will give us permission to greet him at the airport
just to say hello...!

moreover ayu did stay at a place that really significant stuff exclusively and not affordable by us because the location is very remote, secluded, very expensive, very luxurious, and very isolated, plus the security of the inn that was already very tight.
not in the middle of the bustling city...!

I really hope he will be more open when visiting BALI again,
hopefully ...

looks like "evolution" era #giggle#

I love her new hair! it gives me A BEST fever!^^!

I like the new hair but poor Ayu, she looks creepy in the pic

You can see the photos in better quality in the "Ayu in London 2011" thread.

I love Ayu hairstyle ! *feel like wanna do the same hairstyle xD*

That was not what I was talking about. I think, everyone has to decide for themself, if they wanna have children or not. People, who wanna have kids find it amazing having them. People who don't have, think it is amazing don't have children.
But... when I told someone.. I don't wanna have children, I always hear the question "What? Why not". So... why people don't only notice, I don't wanna have kids... ok... my decision.
I also never ask people, who have children, why they decide to have children. They wanted to have some.. so it is ok. I don't need to ask someone, why they have children.. I know why they have them.. because for them, it is amazing having children. So.. people should accept, that for me, it wouldn't be amazing, having kids.
But everybody asked me "Why not". That was all, I wanted to say.
I really don't judge on someone, if they have children or not. People can do, whatever makes them happy.

For Ayu's new hair Look...it looks much better then the Style befor. I never was a fan of it. But.. I really hoped, she let it grow again.
But ok... it is much better than befor... from what I can see on the pic.

Everyone has his/her own right to choose to have children or not. Maybe it is because most people have, or want to have, children, those who don't thus look "special". Also people are always curious about why the other people think in a different way.

By the way... Actually Ayu said she would like to have both girl(s) and boy(s) in 2004 (the HEY!HEY!HEY! TV show). I dunno if she still thinks so though...

If Ayu doesn't want children, it's her choice. She must be thinking that she can't be with them as much as she should since she works so hard. :)

Personally I don't want kids either because I think I wouldn't be a good mother. I can't even picture myself as a mother yet. If I change my mind someday, then I do so but right now I just think that having kids isn't my thing at all.

I totally agree with this post. This is very well said.


We'll see, it's up to Ayumi if she wants to have kids or not. I think she's really busy right now. I wonder what she's up to in the UK... Hopefully she get's some rest, she does seem like she's been kind of tired lately. >.<

if ayu didn't say anything about it... i think we shouldn't be jumping into conclusion or making wild guess... =) everybody~~ relax~~!

Why we still discuss about will ayu have children or not?

Lol.

But on that topic I love love love her outfit she wore on the pic she posted when she was hungry and searching for breakfast. Lovely pants and boost! ^_^

Edit: This pic! http://lockerz.com/s/154585063

I don't like kids and I dislike the thought of childbirth even more. If I change my mind, I'll adopt. There are plenty of kids who already need good homes. As for Ayu, I don't care if she has ten kids or none as long as she's happy and making music.

exactly my thoughts!

So anyway...
she's so cute! I've been seeing this picture everywhere lately lol

I wonder where she's at?

this photo is so strange XD and to be honest, I don't like her outfit.

o(^▽^)o
That's a very nice boots!! I like the pants!

she wore that boots last year at LA ^^

Being mother it's such a wonderful thing, but it's not a priority for every human female on Earth.
As much as would be cute to see Ayu and Mannie with a child, Ayu looks more like a big sister or a young aunt for me lol.

Argh sorry I still keep feed this maternity speculation thing :laugh we should come back on topic, I guess.

On topic:

Love the pic though :D she reminds me a lot RnRC era.

Me too!

Exactly, and LOL. There's about 7 billion people on the earth now. :innocent



Ayu looks cute in the picture when she's looking for something to eat. ^_^

This is the most stupid thing I have read in a while.

<3

Ah, she showed off a bouquet from Metropolis Studios!

I hope she's working on a nice upbeat/ballad single~

^
I wouldn't mind another ballad, but would be great if she will release a nice upbeat track. Maybe an electro song. Like Sparkle, please.

In the most recent picture she posted, is that a carousel?

its up to Ayu if she wants kids or not yes she busy but she can take break and have kids just like Seiko Matsuda

Yes it looks like a old horses carousel as in the CAROLS ' pv ^^

YES PLEASE. I love the ballads but.. something else pleez?

Ayu's staff just tweeted about this,asked some fans on twitter and they said he said about CDL will be announced next week! :yes

Just read about that CDL mention, too!!

I'm so happy, because I'll go to Japan this New Year. ^^ I'll try to get tickets through TA.

An aging population has a lot of economic implications and I could go on all day on how that would affect the global economy but I'd rather not.

........

I am in love with Ayu. She's just so nice to her fans and she's adorable.

Why don't you guys go out and do your own research on the population, then you can come back and tell us everything you think you know. For now, damn, shut up or go discuss it somewhere else.


Have we any word on what Ayu has been up to during the day?

but as what i said before
yes the world r overpopulated
but japanese goverment hoping a birthrate as many people know that japanese pyramid population r going down becouse of the lack of young population n the big amount of the old population..

That is what I've been wondering about as well. I find it shocking that so many people talked to her and no one bothered asking about what she is doing.

we seriously need a "Ayu and childbirth" thread or something. :D

I'm just interested in what Ayu's recording, hoping its a new, upbeat single. I've had enough ballads from FIVE, L, crossroad and MOON for now! :rolleyes

well I'm sure they don't want to just ask her outright...it's kind of impolite somehow...

I don't think we got any surefire hints of what she was doing in aura's reports...but I dont remember too well...even though...the thread is like two clicks away lol...oh well.

Maybe she's just like, shopping and stuff right now.

I assume she's just been to the studios to record, seeing as though she tweeted a picture of the card from Metropolis.
"Welcome back to Metropolis Ayumi! We wish you a lovely and productive stay at our studios."

But like earth_maiden said, I want to know what it is she's recording, and I wonder why she chose the UK again.

I would like to have a new Winter-Ballad. Î love her singing ballads.

Yeah, I didn't think they should've said "OMG Ayu what are you recording?". Something more subtle would do :P

^^^ may be she wanted to get together with fans? anyway i think she made a good choice. an entire new album for a change would be wonderful, but maybe it's too much to ask i guess x____x

:rolleyes


If ayu doesn't wanna have kids, kudos to her because like i said before that would mean she would sacrifice a good portion of her career, and i'm not sure she's willing to do that. Having kids is not for everyone and in my opinion we all should absolutely respect her wishes.

She just twitted something about CDL!

What does it mean?

^ CDL info will be tomorrow monday in Japan on the TA page D:

Can't wait for the CDL announcement!

that sounds selfish

:bsigh you guys are so unsatisfactory.



and CDL? isn't she cutting things a little close? I thought she was gonna stay a month in london...maybe they don't need very long to rehearse for CDL.

^ I was thinking that too... by the time she comes back from London she'll be straight into rehearsals. In the documentaries the meetings have always been end of November / beginning of December.

haha she's so sweet, she wrote loBely lol :laugh

I made a Twitter account for Ayu's Weibo postings for those who don't want to get a Weibo. Follow it at @ayu_weibo_bot (and thank Miki for the idea! ^^)

^thanks :) :shughug

oh, so is it just Ayu? or is it like Ayu and staff/friends, or are fans included too?

Well, most of the time Ayu responds to fans' pictures so I'm posting those too so people don't wonder wtf she's talking about.

^cool~~


And wow, this will be the most anticipated ayu album in years! omg craziness~~

She just confirmed on TA that she is recording a new album to be released next year!!!!

.... I guess I'm regretted... after said that I'm not gonna buy any new singles for collections after the release of L.... She's keep releasing albums =="


Well, at least since people often said that ayu album should have at least 5 or 6 new songs and interludes, and the rest are singles. Now they can shut up, this will be new album with no single.

I hope that means a single is coming soon.

Usually her dancers start doing all the prep in Japan without her and they record it and send it to Ayu who is usually overseas and she sends correspondence back telling them what to change etc

And then she gets back to Japan when most of the show is conceptualised and her dancers have learnt most of the choreography.

Holy crap. I hope this album is really good, I really need a standout Ayu album please. This is going to be so refreshing if there are no singles and its a full album - how ... strange. Even stranger coming right after FIVE and not that long after. I wonder why they chose to go this route. AT'11 will surely be interesting...?

oh interesting~~


I wonder if she'll have anything out by christmas then...doesnt seem like it?

I don't think so...she said specifically "new album" but with Ayu you never know.

I guess this is interesting... but I kind of want to understand her reasoning haha.

Yay, a new album!

Please NO duets!!! With NO-ONE!!!

*hopes*

If I got to see a "feat." on the tracklist I cannot assure you what's going to happen, but it might be something cruel òó

Edit: Hopefully we won't get any singles! I really want an album with around 16 songs (3 of them interludes, at most!) with everything all new to my ears.

An album... after a mini?

This will be interesting.

I think she's done this for a while now, but the first time she really did it was AT07 when she was promoting A BEST 2 while all rehearsals were going on.

With Skype and all that, she could probably even watch it all in real time *in a different time zone, but she's probably up late as usual anyway*.

i don't mind if ayu going to relaese a 6-7 songs with 3 interludes...whatever...as long as the songs are really great :)
