I wonder if the artist ayu will collaborate with is western.

hmm that could be interesting

Isn't it probably the Bentley Jones thing? Though I'm just guessing based on the tweets from before.

Bentley Jones has composed with two others men a song for her in december !

It's okay Ayu collaborate with whoever you want I just want cool album and singles and hopefully tour and maybe a baby toohttps://31.media.tumblr.com/c7d3057e...IcB1qz4rgp.gif

^A baby with her collaborators? :P It sort of sounded like it in that sentence for some reason, but I know what you mean. XD

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net...jpg?1392408037

am i the only one who thinks we came back to the past? lol

she just tweeted the pic. Said she's at Rodeo drive for valentine's day eve~

I love her haircut!!!!

2002 came back guys

WOW!

Lol Otsuka/Koda syndrome :lech

Great hairstyle.
She lost 10 years old!

YAY a nice haircut! :D

Loving the hair!!

Thanks for pic!

Yes, her hair is cool! Is her in LA again?

Oh damn, it's RAINBOW-era.

love the haircut !

Love love love the haircut. She looks so young.

Like everyone, i love that haircut !!

I was surprised to see the photo! I thought it was an old photo!

I absolutely adore this hair :heart :heart :heart

OMG!!, she looks amazing with that new haircut :love

Love it! Reminds me of RAINBOW!

It's like she is having a time machine xD
At first it seemed like an old picture to me but i was wrong
She looks awesome

that is soooooo Stadium Tour 2002 era!!! the Princess of Jpop era exploding at the time!

Oh my god.
She looks amazing.

she looks younger with new haircut LOVE!

Can believe that that picture looked like the RAINBOW-era ?
Is that the true latest photograph of Ayu ?

It was posted on her twitter with "Valentines day eve @ Rodeo drive <3", I'm positive this is our current Ayu! :yes

omg omg she looks too old school and too young, can't believe it, she looks absolutely amazing!

I was a little concerned when everyone said rainbow era because there were some styles that were...less than hot.

But this is a great one. LOVE the haircut :)

woah. bringing back the early 00s lol

Everything about that hairstyle is perfection ♥︎

Love that haircut!!
So much RAINBOW era omg... Hope she maintains it.

Reminds me of Free & Easy. She look so young.

the pic she posted on Team Ayu tho i believe is from the same night ike this onexD that dress is horrible tho xD the whole outfit does not look good on her at all xD it looks kind of cheap. I actually thought it was a top not a mini dress.

also if i knew that this picture was new; when yesterday i've seen it, this has transmitted a past feeling for haircut
ayu look more young *-*

Did I wake up in 2002 or what?
SHE LOOKS STUNNING.
like, she lost about 10 years with this haircut (which she had gained with PoM haircut ahem.)
KEEP IT GOING AYUUUU

lol it's like she doesn't age.

Look at that! That hairstyle is one of her best yet!! I just hope she will use it for work XD

^I really hope she uses that hair to work!!!

I want more pics

me too!! :luv2
oh pleease ayu >.<

If love to see more of her personal, cool style for her promotion instead of frilly soft poofy dresses. -_-

^ Seriously, those dresses are only kawaii and impressive the first like 100 times you see her in them.

I think that Twitpic that we saw has got to be one of the best pictures of Ayu I've ever seen on Twitter...

That's giving me left-ayumi from a ballads teas!

I saw this picture on tumblr and thought it was from the early 2000s. I was shocked learning its from a few days ago. Holy balls Ayu, those 20somethings ain't got nothing on our eternal goddess.

STADIUM TOUR 2014 is coming! That hair is an omen. LOL

That pic of Ayu is the best in agesO_o

I adore this new hairstyle and her fresh new look so much. I hope she will keep this for the next album/tour♥

She looks so young and natural, I love it!!!

STADIUM TOUR with a long setlist would be perfect lol

PREACH THE TRUTH

Oh, STADIUM TOUR 2014 would be awesome. I loved the one she did in 2002. :D

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net.../839050837.jpg

please let this be the look for the next album / era !!!!!!!!

Yes, Stadium Tour 2014 would be marvellous! Let´s Pray and feel the love!

I would LOVE to have another stadium tour... I've been waiting for this... BTW she's already got the haircut!

Why do people think she'd have a Stadium Tour now? There was never any notion of her wanting to do another one...

^ It's because she now has the same hairstyle as she did during Stadium Tour 2002. It's just a joke.

Anyway. I agree she looks amazing!

There seems to be a new TA update. I wonder what it is...

sorry! i started it. Bahaha

It's ok I was just puzzled xD

nothing important, just how hot it's in LA.
GIVE US NEEEWS

Ha ha ! Ayu last tweet about the ViVi cover ! xD

"hum ? what ? why everyone is surprised ?Σ(￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ "


https://twitter.com/ayu_19980408/sta...27706597363712

And she expects us to not be surprised www

you mean that is ayu on the cover?

Yes, haha!

omg she's channeling her inner vivi model. Dress and pose.

haha so many of ayu's fans didn't recognize her at first? XD

People sre so used on seeing her doig different covers for ViVi that this one looked something else? :D Luckily I recognised her at once. :D

Seems like she is staying in LA mainly to stay close with her hubby, so it makes sense.

from ayu's twitter
http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net...jpg?1393668093

"TGC otsukaresama deshita! Thank you very much to everyone in the staff who worked for this stage! See you again, Japan! ✈️"

Looks like she's flying off to LA again lol!

LA again :no. It`s already March. When will she announce the new tour dates?

wow she's going back to LA as soon as she finished TGC..wow..
i really wonder how's her nationwide tour this year.. she has completely different plans this year..

Sorry I didn't get what it is ? Is it a live performance ? She looks nice anyways !

^
it's Tokyo Girls Collection, a fashion show, though i'm not sure about the detail but it's been held annually. they usually invite some singers to perform there. probably every year their theme songs are different.

Did they already get married? I thought they were just engaged.

Well, they don't have to get married in order to stay together most of the time =P haha

Well, I assume they're going to get married at some point since they're engaged so I said hubby, oops. They've still yet to be married as far as we know, but it seems like they're together almost all the time when she is in LA.

Found!!

^ it's available also in 1080p there....
I can't quite think of words to express my love for you.
THANKS.

Thank you so much!!
She looks extremely good!! Don't know why there are people saying she's "fat", because she looks better than ever!!!

Wow..she sang Until that day..go fierce ayu!

^^^ Thank you for the link!!

Oh ok I see ! When I saw the picture I was kinda of expecting a new dance clip ahaha ! Thanks oft the info :)

Not the biggest fan of her outfit there lol.
But she sounded great! At least with the clips we got.

I was hoping to see something like the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Where Ayu would be singing while the models were walking.
Thought that would've looked cool loll.

^this.
That costume is just so meh. From all the costume she have why she picked that.

She just posted this. 4PM.

TA更新しました--> Just married☆

What does it mean??

EDIT: Nvm.. Read on Facebook that she just got married.

I'm guessing it means she got married!

Really? Unexpected..but if it is true ....... congratulations!

Wow! Congrats!

haha ayu just loves to surprise us..lol..
congratulations ayu and husband!

NEW ARUBAMU ON THE WAY.

Ayu just tweeted she's started recording for the new album yesterday along with a INTERNATIONAL FAMOUS DJ and many different producers. I can't link to the tweet cuz I'm from my cellphone XD

"@ayu_19980408 "Since yesterday, I started the recording of the new album in the studio that I love, with well-known producers and DJ ... my neurons blow up ヽ(´o｀；"

translation from AYUANGEL facebook

YESH! I am not too crazy about the fact that there are DJs involved, that never means anything good to me...>_>

Glad the recordings have started. Seems she is taking it really slow this time~ Could be a good thing :)

Famous DJ/producer... I wonder who?

Here's hoping for the best! Sounds like this will be a pretty electro album.

wow! really! I'M READYY FOR A NEW AYU ALBUM!!!!!!!!!

finally here comes a new album!!!! can't wait!!!

I hope it's Ferry Corsten or Armin Van Buuren. I am still holding on to the fact that she said the album will have rock tracks~

Yay~! Competely made my day!!! I can't wait for some new slaying music from ayu and if DJs are involved it should be even more interesting! I wonder if it's David Guetta lol. Probably not but yeah Armin van buuren and ferry corsten would be great too =)

Dream production would be ayu x Max Martin

I want something as EPIC as Naturally.

+1!
