truehappiness 22nd January 2018 10:09 AM

Mostly I think that it's due to seeing her look a little 'off' in these pictures. Also these pictures are the only way we see Ayu until she starts to promote again. Magazine shoot soon, please...

AyuWorld 23rd January 2018 07:56 AM

Can anyone translate what ayu wrote on her Ig Story? Her garden looked a huge one with those stairs covered in snow and the other one a pic in a room overlooking the garden

I saw theres 2 cars parked there, maybe one is her mom’s?

Thank you Aderianu!! :luv2 woah so my eyes see it right, there are cars overthere haha, I wanna know what car is in front of her Cadilac :D

Same here! And yes I cant stop being impressed everytime I see that hahha

But that didnt look like a garage? Or is it? I didnt see roof anywhere xD it is like a free area before you climb the staircase to her garden

pedronekoi 23rd January 2018 04:34 PM

^ It is a garage! She wrote that :)

tokyoxjapanxfan 24th January 2018 09:05 AM

A lot of garages in Japan are more like car ports, that could be why there's open space. Though I didn't pay much attention to the video so not sure lol

Corvina 24th January 2018 10:11 AM

I saw so many happy faces on Instagram as snow is rare in Tokyo and Ayu? Ayu cares about her cars, lol.

Evan Odinson 25th January 2018 07:41 PM

^I still can't understand the chin topic, I'm way too blind or you guys are too good to recognize plastic surgery, I don't see anything wrong with her face :rolleyes

Amalgam 26th January 2018 09:21 PM

She better have not gotten a chin implant, though I’d wonder how that would even happen since she has no downtime

But people where discussing about ayu making her chin smaller iirc

truehappiness 27th January 2018 02:16 AM

It was just angles and stuff. Or like, the apps.

you can make your chin look smaller with implants. like putting an implant that will make your chin more pointing and that gives a impression that it's smaller and not rounded...

Corvina 27th January 2018 08:30 AM

There's also chin or jaw shaving in Asia, mainly popular in Korea, to make your chin more pointy and small.
It's a really dangerous procedure and afaik in most western countries medics don't use it.

Ayu always looks different on pics and it's interesting that it's not happening with other artists so much.
But in the end I personally don't care much.

Aderianu 27th January 2018 12:32 PM

I think ayu didn't have enough time for recovery after surgery, so it's just photoshop

xLuna&1LOVE 27th January 2018 01:45 PM

Or botox?

Andrenekoi 27th January 2018 03:53 PM

You can give the impression your face changed in photos eith the right lights + angle. You can use make up. You can use photoshop. You can use less invasive procedures like botox or fillings. You can use a mix of any of those things.

If she had plastic surgery as frequently as people around here tend to assume, I believe there wouldn't be tissue for the surgeons to work with at this point :P She would be Michael Jackson/Amanda Lepore level of deformed.

pedronekoi 28th January 2018 12:25 AM

I started looking to old pictures of her (during Secret era) and her chin looks the same as now. lol

xLuna&1LOVE 29th January 2018 08:07 PM

^ no waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy;)

AyuWorld 30th January 2018 08:11 AM

Watched the new video on Ig, she got botox for chin?

And Timmy hmm...

AyuWorld 1st February 2018 02:52 AM

Ayu uploaded again the video on her Ig and the caption translation said, «pretty pony~Ill be back again for a little while until that daypretty pony~»

I wonder she means about until the day she will retire?

Idealist 1st February 2018 04:22 AM

Until the day she comes back to Nagoya.

ayumint 1st February 2018 04:49 AM

melissalove 11th February 2018 04:25 AM

I don’t like it much :/ the angle isn’t flattering for her nose.

truehappiness 11th February 2018 07:21 AM

I think that's just an offshot anyway, not a final product.

xLuna&1LOVE 11th February 2018 09:50 AM

I love her look, allthough I am not very font of her facial expression.
Luckily it is just a offshot.

Corvina 11th February 2018 11:02 AM

I also don't like it that much.
I love what she's wearing,but not her hair and make-up.
Not really flattering..
Curious for the endproduct nevertheless!

AyuWorld 11th February 2018 01:29 PM

Honestly dont like her recent look with whatever she did.again. Hahha jaw chin whatever

And the latest Ig pic, omg, Ayu what happened??? Eye, face all look like a doll, like is that ayu??

hud 12th February 2018 03:14 PM

I don't know what you guys see that's always so "PLASTIC!!!11" but I think she looks amazing. she may have done some procedures to her face that are obvious, but I don't think they're unflattering - if anything, she looks younger than ever

She most likely did not much invasive to her face, people just seen to just discovered popstars use phooshop

Corvina 12th February 2018 04:47 PM

To me Ayu looks a lot like a korean Ulzzang in her pictures (who try to be as puppet perfect as possible with make-up, fashion, procedures and picture editing).
While some people may like it, I personally don't.
In her work it's fine, but also in "private" and concert pics?
I just don't think it's necessary.
But as long as she likes it herself.

tokyoxjapanxfan 12th February 2018 05:35 PM

Mmmm her jawline definitely seems different lately.

http://www.eneabba.net/ayu/video/oth...318.HEAVEN.htm

Compared to these (probably?) unedited pictures, it's pretty different.

I know this is a decade ago, but usually you don't gain a sharper chin with age lol.


I don't think she looks bad now, and I honestly don't have an issue with surgery. And it's very possible that fillers are used. Fillers are pretty magical. Haha. And yes, I know photoshop is still very possible. I'm just saying that, it's also very possible that it's not just photoshop and makeup tricks.

You are funny every month they are something different... it’s like last year with her boobs and in the end they are normal... And always making comparaison with picture in her 20´s ... honestly I don’t see any changes.

Whateever it is. It is really obvious for me hahah my favorite is her 2015 look and Im used with that kinda face of Ayu, now her jawline just really obvious different from before,

I still vote for her original jawline

I love the sense of maturity in the photo

I hope it's not "just" for a photo book
