This new photo is awesome.

^ It's gorgeous! Where is it from?

Her pictures are all so adorable lately :heart

Love the one with the big fluffy hat thingy. ♡

Gorgeous! :love

I recognized her dress, it's from this photoshoot, she posted a pic 2 weeks ago
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEoNndFJPpR/

She's still on that deodorant-ads vibe when it comes to her photoshoots but at least she's adding something to them. There are those pics she posted with the lyrics snippets where there was some fierceness to it, and now to this one also, I love it!

omg I'm dying here right now :weep

Love the new photo!

Hahaha! I'm sorry I burst out loud laugh when I saw this, cos my husband and I always joking and play about "Rexona-moment" photo post ourselves.

*cough* back to the photo, very nice and I hope it'll be part of the album booklet.

omg the latest photo...looking so young, fresh and pretty

AMAZING

I love it! :luv2

Lol, I love this photo, totally gorgeous.

But for whatever reason in my silly head, she looks like she could be a kingdom hearts character or something lol. I think it's whenever kairi or namine stare into your soul in the kh2 intro.

also whoever said deodorant ad :dead2 :tipsy

I love natural makeup on her because it makes her look so good and young. I wish she wore makeup like this during official events rather than that cakey camouflage makeup that she doesn't need.

Honestly, if something like that was the A BEST 3 cover, I would NOT mind.

Uhuhuh.

^ *knocks on wood three times*

Love that new pic and truehappiness, your covers look amazing.

Oops, I used the wrong font, lol. The A BEST font is Helvetica Neue... may remake in a bit.

ALSO!!!

I get major ayu-mi-x vibes from the picture as far as the general angle/look. Except without the slicked back hair/robo-thing going on.
http://i.imgur.com/0EMxDhk.png

Those don't look bad at all!

omg SLAY, she better be lurking and take a look at this

I don't know why but reminds me of ai otsuka.

Just thinking we have (by now) more than 10 records worth of material to fit in, I could only imagine how many discs would it come.

Ok, there's the correct font, lol.

http://i.imgur.com/kfpU9JH.png http://i.imgur.com/xUzvF3j.png

Ugh, fiiierce.

AYU BIBLE coming soon lol

A BEST-IBLE.

A BEST 3(0) TRAX.

They should do it 1998 - 2016 if they want the general public to at least know a few songs on it.

Yeah... I wonder how it will work with all the album tracks she has nowadays, but it is obvious which ones were "singles", I guess.

Those eyes...

...so pretty :love

Glad I wasn't the only one, giving me kingyo hanabi teas tbh

actually that picture is a lil creepy for me because of the hairbrush in her face and front of her hair... they make it seem the photograph used some focus technic but it's not. definitely looks like a KH character lol

If anyone wants it in larger size:

^ Thank you so much!

OMG!

eplus and dat promo image!

However... I wonder if that is going to be related to the actual MADE IN JAPAN cover.

Thank you for sharing!

^Most of the people in that pic aren't even smiling. They are just looking at the camera like '' :dead2 I'm too tired to care about this pic''

Off to bed everyone! :P

Timmy looks so plastic in here :D

Maybe he got some make-up on? He looks pretty cute in the rehearsal vids Ayu posted on Youtube so...

Yeah, probably the makeup. I think he also shaved a lot for this.

drag is pain :P

he's probably with makeup on. fierce.

ZIN is sick, but promised to get well before Sendai

Nagoya, thank you for two days! Police of Nagoya Station was really nice and helped to safely take group photo
http://i.imgur.com/l4f5frUl.jpg

I can almost hear her shouting the FLOWER chorus from this pic.

Hope vocals will be good this year.

I think the potential for her screaming in FLOWER's live perfs is pretty high and that picture is not doing anything to make me feel better about that

Let me just go stare at that promo pic on the previous page tho because it's giving me goosebumps

Prays for great vocals. Prays even harder.

We all need a prayer circle for those tbh.

He was super cute during POM tour tho... lol

acollection instagram

***** SUPER GORG! *****

dat MAKING OF LADIES NIGHT!

How can someone be so perfect?

I can't see it. If it's just me, what's that account's ID? I can't find it.

^ Thanks!

seems something happend with imgur

How so?

Yeah!
I remember it was published in a Deiji Diary feature around (m)u's release, albeit in a much smaller size as part of a collage.

I love TeamAyu magazine offshots. I wonder if they'll put them together at some point.



dat facial trackinggg

Random, but I just creeped Mannie's Twitter while looking at the "associated accounts". His new "lady" looks a little bit like Ayu. I wonder if she was just his type, or if she's left a lingering in his heart lol

^ As long as he isn't reduced to an all grass diet, right? Lol

Dem looks are slaying me since 2005!
Yaaasss

I don't think she looks like Ayu, she's just asian lmao. God, i wonder what the hell did Ayu have in mind when she married that guy, and her getting married pretty quickly to Tyson too made her look desperate to find "true love". But at least with Tyson they're still together so as long as she's happy that's what matters the most.

^To be fair she and "that guy" are still pretty much in friendly terms and he even promoted her on his twitter after the divorce.

^ Yeah well i remember being friends with him on fb and when they divorced he had one of his friends talking real shit about ayu, saying she was a b*tch anyway who was manipulative and it was all her fault etc etc, don't think a friend of mine would say things like that about a lover of mine if i hadn't spoken badly about him/her before

^maybe that is true, but at least he didn't say anything bad about her at public, didn't play victim and didn't search for attention.
I don't remember what exactly this friend wrote at his post... something about ayu acting like a diva and cry a lot. I think we all know it

^ Haha yeah that was something like that, he said that she couldn't stand being treated like a nobody in the US and that she would always cry when things wouldn't go her way. That wouldn't be really surprising but that's a side of her i wish i didn't know.

^Friends can be tricky during complicated relationships (and the public aspect of any popstar relationship will make it complicated). He could be just a douchy friend that was jealous of his friend marrying and not enjoying the single life with him anymore (you would be surprised of how common that can be), or someone seeing a friend going through some personal crisis (as a divorce can be) and putting all the blame on his friend wife. He could also be someone stupid trying to defend his friend from the stupid fans of his ex-wife who get nothing better to do of their life other than stalking and bothering their idol ex-husband.

Mannie on the other side never said anything bad about her nor did him used the relationship to seek for atention for himself. People who met him in person also said he was a really nice guy.

I think as long as Mannie himself didn't say anything bad about her we shouldn't jump to conclusions.

I don't really care much about Mannie tbh. He can do as he wishes. The only bad thing he really did was that nude photobook as a 'gift' then selling some copies on eBay. Other than that, he's nice.

Of course, i wasn't implying he was a bad person himself. When i was wondering why she had married him it was mostly because it was so rushed and if they divorced for a nude photobook (pretty sure that's not the only reason but still) it's "obvious" their marriage wasn't that solid after all. But well, can't judge her private life much since we're not part of it.
Came accross a blog stating that Ayu cheated on Nagase back in 2005, now that's something i had never heard of before today :dead2

EDIT: Ha i thought we were in the "Anything goes" thread all along, imma continue this conversation there

"Thank you for lovely picture that would be used as icon and header. Wonder if I going to change it regulary. By the way, this one was made by one of Taiwanese fans"

http://i.imgur.com/UXd4fLrm.jpg

"I’m no longer scared of anything
and that’s the only thing that really scares me
-Breakdown-"
http://i.imgur.com/D2uLCN8l.jpg

I think when Manny's friend lashed out, he was just boiling over, seeing Manny getting roasted by speculating fans. It did surprise me a lot that he spoke out like he did. Although I don't know a lot about law, had Ayu been american, I could well imagine him facing a defamation lawsuit, however honest he was.

I'm glad Manny didn't play victim and both him and Ayu seemed to move on as fast as they did.

^^ That picture goes so freaking well with those lyrics. Definitely see it in her eyes that bleak realization of inner fear that sneaks up on us every once in a while.

Lord, I love it when Ayu finds a concept she's really really in love with cause she rolls with it so well.

The Breakdown pic is just so beautiful!! I really like the colouring. All those pics made me want to have a photo-book.

So many amazing photos recently. I think these simple photos that really punch you with the emotion are when she's at her best. The one that came with the Mad World lyrics, the FLOWER one, and now this. Just so perfect.

I honestly would not mind if the cover is like the fanmade one that's been attached the album rip, without the logo, just a photo of her face. Any of these photos would work.

If these are what's in the tour pamphlet I wannnnt it.

Breakdown picture is very nice and I like it a lot

but this image immediately popped up into my mind
http://i.imgur.com/gCArKMe.jpg

I guess all these pics will be in the tour pamphlet

:laugh

what a great photo you have there!

My god, the photos are AMAZING.

Lol someone make this into a meme!

Okay, so Ayu posted Breakdown lyrics then can we assume that she will include this song in the tour? Previously, all the posted songs were performed in the tour, can we hope for this? :heart

Breakdown sounds perfect when placed after Endless sorrow imo.

This is seriously my face every time I check my bank account.

I feel you...

I hope so. She could change MOON for Breakdown and rainy day for Dolls / Sweet scar.

^ I'd rather have her to keep MOON (I'm a sucker for that song) and add Breakdown somewhere else on setlist tbh

I'm also a fan of MOON but Breakdown needs a live performance. We'll find out tommorow~

東北新幹線て楽しいよね〜��めっちゃ浮かれながら向かってます������ からのお弁当食べるか、、寝るか、、贅沢な悩みだわ❣️

:love

She is so damn cute!

I really like her hat.

So cute~ i also want her to keep MOON. I wouldnt mind if she did breakdown instead of until that day...

Her hat is lovely.

So cute!! :heart

She started following some official accounts and a lot of her dancers on instagram... I wonder if she's in control of her instagram account now
