Today dancers and performer team started preparation for a-nation and all together had BBQ (? or something like that)

photo from that ^

Thank you for starting a new thread. This feels so much like a refreshment
I am so excited for a'nation!!!

photo from LINE and main message of this album

いつか、ayuの歌声で、今年の夏を思い出せるように。
http://i.imgur.com/MJLU5pKl.jpg

Ayu looks so tiny in that pic with the dancers ^^ + I really like how colorful that pic of her with sixxxxxx is

I really like the photo with her new Album. She looks so cute and beautiful

She's really promoting the hell out of this album!

it seems she's really satisfied with this mini album~

Seems like Ayu and her husband have separated...

^ ?? why?

oh c'mon! you don't know anything

She is still ayumi hamasaki bodkin on facebook.

For some reason I do have that thinking as well

"Ayu was very poetic lately"

I saw that picture of katsu and I was about to say, if ayu was being poetic about katsu I would unconditionally love everything she put out henceforth. But she just said "it was delicious". The un-divorced oricon queen and distinct vibrato user Ayumi Hamasaki Bodkin has good taste tbh.

Oh boy :tired

I don't think they have separated. She has just learned from past mistakes and is trying to keep her private and public life separated.

I don't think they broke up either. It's great she has keeping her private life... Well, private.

I think she has been very productive this year.

I think she'll tell us big news like that.
And wasn't this album kinda like an apology to her fans?

What reason is there to think that they split anyway? She's been busy with the tour among other things and he was seen at the last tour date in Yokohama a month ago. What more do people need to see? We'll probably see more of them together when she's off post-TA tour.

^maybe people want to see Mr. Bodkin tagging along anywhere Ayu go like he's got no life lol

Usually he's on set of her PVs, in the background, so when the making ofs of the PVs come out we'd probably be able to see him in the background. I don't think they've split though. I think the inspiration for the songs on the album came more from her feelings with the fans, than with her husband.

I assume he'll be in the credits of the latest tour when it comes out like for CDL.

I don't think they've separated until further proof

Ayu can't win! Seen with her husband too much and people say she is using her private life to promote her albums. Isn't seen with him, they must have broken up.

Why in this world do you even say such a thing, Exodus


(ps. thanks angelsenshi for noticing. I have a terrible memory)

^ Bigtop didn't say anything in this thread, did he? Either you're in the wrong thread or you may have misread.

That's it...

I can conclude that AHS has three kinds of members: complaints, suspicious, and excited.

OMG I was joking and poking fun at AHS' habit of looking too deep into Ayu's cryptic tweets/messages.

More like the members who:
1. whine constantly ( guilty me)
2. Who believe ayu can do no wrong.
3. Crack lousy offensive jokes.
:yes

pfft, don't stereotype people, i have all of them in me lol

Also i think everyone should have gotten used to Exodus and those kind of comments. i know i did. Just stop giving an f lol

weibo: Summer 2015 has began with my dancers & performers from aka Ichiza ️ Now we are so ready for a-nation!!!

http://i.imgur.com/yYxqvXCm.jpg

^Delicious I must say

Is it ayu's house? I think I saw this table in the lifestyle book

edit: this
http://i.imgur.com/MtMR1gz.jpg

Looks like hers, table and deco are matching...

Every time I see ayu post pictures of food I wanna have a BBQ with her lol

so they were having a big feast at ayu's home?

Food looks yummy. Haha :)

yes.

Imagine they all were drunk at ayu's home.

lol yea right...
as long as there's no news bout them splitting up... i'll assume they are still in a loving relationship of husband and wife :yes

I can't

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y13...psilzkb148.gif

Yep, it looks like the same place.

This was the place that was up for sale but it seems like she's decided to keep it since there's that photo in it and it's been taken off the real estate website.

that's the house in tokyo right?
not fukuoka?

It's the house called 'Beach House' in the Lifestyle book and, according to the real estate website from the time, it's located in a gated community, Zushi City, two hours (by car) outside of Tokyo's centre.

In the Lifestyle book there are three houses mentioned; the Beach House, which is this one; the Main House, which I assume is in more central Tokyo; and the LA house, which someone had said, I believe, was up for sale/rent again.

i remember she has a house in fukuoka as well, is it not the beach house?
i thought that one is for sale already.
yea i ever read that LA house is already on sale.

It's really strange. Everyone thought that the Beach House was in Fukuoka because that was the first time we saw bits and pieces of the pool area and such; while she was approaching the Fukuoka dates for one of her tours (I have no recollections of when this was exactly). Obviously the Lifestyle book doesn't say where the house is exactly but the real estate listing when it went up for sale did;
You can see the thread on the forum that was made when the house went up for sale here. So, it would seem, Ayu either doesn't have a property in Fukuoka or, if she does, it wasn't featured in the Lifestyle book. I, personally, think she doesn't have a place in Fukuoka.

The Main House is likely more central Tokyo, since some of the photos she takes while in Japan at times when she's doing rehearsals and stuff have little features that can be seen in the Lifestyle book, related to the Main House.

So, what seems to have happened was; Ayu had the Main House and Beach House, both having been mentioned in interviews also. She moved to LA and got the LA house and, since she was settling down in LA more, she decided to try and sell the Beach House in Japan. When she decided to go back to Japan, she put the LA house up for sale/rent and we would have thought that that would have left her with just the Main House. But, as it turns out, with the Beach House's listing removed from the website and those photos of Ayu with her crew in it, it just happens that she's kept the Beach House.

Lol, maybe she couldn't sell the beach house for anyone because it's really expensive and not many rich people have the amount of money she has, or that at least interest in a beach house.

How do we know she is selling the LA house? So she is moving back to Japan for good then? (And her husband with her?)

Don't know about her husband, but I'm pretty sure she is. Because she mentioned in interviews and on TA how her stay in LA was her running away and now she realised that was the wrong thing for her to do :)

Thanks, Aderianu, for sharing the link; I couldn't find the one for the LA house.

I doubt that it was a case of no one being able to afford the Beach House. I think it was more of a case just that nobody had bought it by the time she decided not to sell it and move back to Japan. In general, homes of that cost take a while to sell.

How do we know it's ayu's? Does it remsemble anything from the LIVE STYLE book?

I loved her music room there.

My favorite house of her was the beach house in zushi so I'm happy she didn't sell it eventually. She can invite me over for a PJ party now. :P

So if it's all true then she moved to Japan for good, probably with her husband if he's seen with her on PV shoots and tours.

Seems like Ayu tried to sell the L.A. house last year too?
I thought her husband was a student in America still so I wonder if he is moving to Japan? I imagine she will still go to L.A. at least once a year as she has been doing that for ages but I guess not enough to warrant owning a house there.

Selling a house doesn't mean you are moving away form the city.

Damn, that's a fancy place!

I LOVE that house. If only I could afford it...lol

Those couches and chairs really have to go lol. They look so uncomfortable.

11 Million Dollars!! Da*n Ayu's rich!

That house is fabulous, I love it. :)

As for Ayu and her husband I think she would have told people if she had divorced him, but she hasn't so I believe they're still together. :)

preparation to a-nation
all 3 shows will be different
http://i.imgur.com/rcYrsPzl.jpg

it seems that ayu's husband is with her all the time..
and i think she'll go to LA for once in a while now..for shooting videos/photoshoots or just short escape..a holiday..

Work work work...

I want this backpack!!!! u.u

Went to see it to Fendi store...oh why it has to be over 3000 euros T__T

Ayu's really working hard!! ;) sad we can only see one of the 3 shows

Rich people's homes always look so clean, like no one lives in them. It's so bizarre.

I wonder why Ayu's houses aren't selling...

It doesn't look cozy at all. There's no charm or character to those type of houses. I'll never understand but then again, I'm not a multi millionaire lol

Probably because no one can afford it at the moment.

Any house with a pool is good in my books but honestly I wouldn't have even bought that house. Don't know what ayu was thinking. It looks like the whole house has this basic white colour, too many windows (for thieves to break in), the chairs and couches don't look comfortable, the counters in the kitchen look terrible, the patio furniture looks like I'll get a back ache if I lied on it, the carpeting looks awful, etc. (All opinion of course)
To me it feels like something industrial rather than home-like, with everything looking basically the same and this giving it a mass produced feel, and if I were a smart millionaire I'd avoid it. To me homes should be cozy and embued with heart and personality, not something like that. Maybe that's why ayu sold it. That or like everyone has said, she's gonna just live in Japan now.

New York seems more her style anyhow...always thought the LA thing was weird.

The rich don't know the backlash of the economic crisis, actually since the crisis started it seems that the rich got richer while the poor got poorer

LOL @ Ayu replying to the doodle showing how someone thinks the a-nation '15 flowery headband item is supposed to be worn.

^I'm thinking about it as well...I thought that is a bracelet..when I knew that it's headband, I'm a little confuse..LOL...

Imagine if Ayu releases a single called lol using a similar pic for the cover XD

^ I'd love her even more

Those selfies are so funny. 8D I love them.

I bet the song "Lol" chorus would be like:

Lol lol lol lolli loli loli loli lol
Yeah yeah wow yeah
Lol lol lol lolli loli loli loli lol
Yeah yeah wow yeah

And music would be similar to Lelio. :D

I agree with you. :yes

Shu-ya is backkk..haha

looks like she will preform Summer daily

As you wish, this is her next album cover.

http://i.imgur.com/UCQNlSO.png

Mom.

Let's all tweet this to her

That picture will be use by lot of haters at girlschannel...haha
well hatters gonna hate hate hate hate...

It's official...Shu-ya rejoined the team...yay....

Wow, hoping to hear Summer diary at a-nation! Yay!

i think summer diary will be performed...coz it fits summer so much..
and step by step too.

If she performed Days after Summer Daily, that would be a mess.

I'm glad Shuya is back, I never had anything against him.

Can see the Summer diary shuya flailing performance, but I never had anything against him too.
