Can someone translate?
I can only get this - Ayu is to become the new advertising character for Wacoal in the Asia, countries like China, South Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan, though Japan is not included.

KuroixShiroi_Namida 10th May 2008 11:39 AM

Yah it's lingerie :mini

KuroixShiroi_Namida 10th May 2008 11:54 AM

alternarist 10th May 2008 12:00 PM

Sexy!!

shannon-nonnahs 10th May 2008 12:19 PM

WHOA! Interesting! Thanks for sharing the news! (;

keikeiaznqueen 10th May 2008 12:39 PM

Wowww!! Does that mean I'm going to see her around? XD I look forward to this!

AyUmIXx 10th May 2008 12:39 PM

woww..hope that's true..
but does that mean that she will wear only bra + panties for promotion pics?
wowowww~~ O_O!

ExodusUK 10th May 2008 12:44 PM

If you search on google images you can see the sort of adverts they do...interesting..

WillofDusk 10th May 2008 12:45 PM

Burning HAWT NEWS
I hope it's true XD

Ame.P 10th May 2008 12:51 PM

GREAT! Hope to see her in ...Singapore? :D

Bazaa 10th May 2008 12:56 PM

^well, she has wore that, hm, dunno it's name in english, the thing she wore on Mirrorcle World PV XD From that to bra and panties isn't a far shot, imo.

Anyway, it's nice to hear about this. I just hope she won't be wearing old lady's underwear, you know, something that will make her look older XD

Aga-chan 10th May 2008 01:09 PM

We have bikini shots of ayu. There's little difference between that and lingerie (as in the way it reveals skin). She also could advertise lingerie without it being too revealing.

Would be nice to see her become the new spokeswoman. ^^

ayumisrael 10th May 2008 01:15 PM

oooo I want to see some sexy pics of ayu.

criminal 10th May 2008 01:18 PM

It's interesting to see Ayumi be the new spokesperson of something. :O Lingerie might be a little worrying at first, but it's Ayumi, so I have no doubts that she'll remain classy as always.

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/7...0025tl7.th.jpg
If this is any indication, she'll be amazing.

But then again, maybe she'll just do press stuff and things like that and won't be in ads?

prussian blue 10th May 2008 01:23 PM

so its time to see ayu's sexyness?

i dont have much comment either...

ayu_ready? 10th May 2008 02:47 PM

elepop 10th May 2008 02:49 PM

I can't really see Ayu as a lingerie spokesperson, but oh well.

se7entheaven 10th May 2008 02:51 PM

then the new single must be sexy songs LOL
BUT
I just think about this
maybe it's like Kylie Minogue's H&M ads which is sooo nice..then the BG is ayu's new summer single..yay

hiroshi_ben 10th May 2008 03:11 PM

its a bit weird and surprised to hear this...i hope shes not overdoing it

TITANIC 10th May 2008 03:19 PM

what she wore in Mirrorcle World was prob a mix of corset & lingerie

tokyoxjapanxfan 10th May 2008 03:34 PM

oh that'd be really cool! thanks for the info~

Catzi 10th May 2008 03:49 PM

Wacoal is lingerie?

Ah, I just googled it. It doesn't look like old lady underwear at all!

But if she's going to do this, why doesn't she just be a spokesperson for Peach John?

apple-pi 10th May 2008 03:57 PM

Mm... I wonder... what will this be like...? :lech
Interesting. XD
Thanks for the info!

god forbid no, the day ayu turns into Namie is the day I'll die ^^ She should never mix her songs with her underwear.

KarenPang 10th May 2008 04:06 PM

is this news confirmed or what ?

sibby 10th May 2008 04:08 PM

MAYBE THE MIRRORCLE WORLD PART WHERE SHE WAS WEARING YOU-KNOW-WHAT BELONGS TO WACOAL? :D

sure ^^ it's pretty simple, Namie does highly commercial songs, with lyrics that sometimes don't make much sense ("it's time to BANG BANG your head") and the songs about girls finding guys XD and I don't wanna see Ayu singing something like "When you see the guy who is fly always call him black diamond". Namie's image fits those songs, Ayu's doesn't. (note that I like Namie Amuro, and I have nothing against her)

Ooh, I just Googled those H&M pics because you mentioned them, and they're really gorgeous! :O If Ayu did something like that, I wouldn't mind at all~ and I'm sure if Ayu's really modeling the lingerie, she'll make it classy ^^

ComatoseBunnySnatcher 10th May 2008 05:28 PM

^ lol

That'd be hot

pommy48 10th May 2008 05:28 PM

oo wacoal! i think i've heard of that, my mom used to buy their bras in taiwan~not as sexy as victoria's secret..but any bra is sexy, hehe ayu will be so great modeling!

If I’m not mistaken actually in Japan Wacoal’s represented by Peach John, the company run by Mika John

AyUta 10th May 2008 07:25 PM

None of this news worries me too much. I know Ayu will remain classy and not turn into something we all wish for her not to turn into. :D I doubt she will be blinded by the offer and begin to show too much skin. I've known Ayu for far too long and I doubt any of that will happen. Ah~~I love you Ayu! :luv2

oh I agree! I support Ayu with this. it's not like she's gonna pose nude or anything...

minna 10th May 2008 07:40 PM

I don't know that company :shrug
it's some lingerie?

well that's cool! and I'm sure it's going to be classy, glam & not provocative~

kotora 10th May 2008 07:48 PM

So is she going to wear a bra and sing in her next music video?

That would be hawt, if she is going to wear the white one and get wet. LOL

kotora 10th May 2008 08:07 PM

^ that fits summer, and the song should be titled either of these

"That chick in white"
"White curising"
"Front effects"
"I'll be loving to get wet"
"OUT OF CONTROL"

(inspired by Mariah Carey)

ComatoseBunnySnatcher 10th May 2008 08:26 PM

NEW SINGLE: Multi-tasking c/w Front Effects XD

ooo I like the sound of front effects! great idea.....

kotora 10th May 2008 10:00 PM

^ Included the sticky remix "Front Effects (Roll some eggs remix)"


Btw, I think this news are not reliable. It sounds so not ayu. Unless ayu would do something that I mention. Or in this way, get the bra and cover her eyes as like glasses, and say " Magic bra, use it in different way".

I am definitely joking now, don't take it serious.

~X2RADialbomber~ 10th May 2008 10:40 PM

I don't know why some people are taking this so weirdly.
I mean, its not as if Ayu is going to get naked, and plus, she's already done HEAPS of bikini shots...

If its anything like that WE MEN photoshoot, I'll be very happy.

truehappiness 10th May 2008 10:53 PM

Yeah, Ayu's done a lot of lingerie shoots as of late [a lot especially after Secret @_@]~

I think she'd be a good model for this sort of thing despite being so short.

Exactly. If this is true she will deffinitely look classy and she'll be the best japanese lingerie model ever

Rough translation:

Wacoal, announced on the 9th that starting july, they will starts to appoint Ayu, who has a huge popularity in Asia, as the spokesperson of the Japan's bra label. This will include magazine advertisement, advertisement boards etc.

Wacoal's CM are usually shot by models. They predicted that after Ayu become the spokersperson, the company's market shares will increase by at least 10%, thus fulfilling their plans to expand into the Asia market.

its really cool news

naxxo.licious™ 11th May 2008 02:09 AM

^ WOW so it's true after all. I hope it will all turn out well for ayu ^^

kotora 11th May 2008 02:26 AM

WOW I WANT to see ayu sell lingerie in the CM, I want to see where the camera will focus on in the cm.

CHE.R.RY 11th May 2008 02:50 AM

Oh maybe this will do Ayu some good. :D

happy_ai 11th May 2008 02:50 AM

I would love if she really did this.
besides, Ayu as done that kind of stuff before she went famous... doing it now wont make of a difference to me. I think SEXY ayu is under played anyways, sure she she natural beauty but lets turn it up!

jonneh 11th May 2008 04:01 AM

I think this is cool news, even though I'm not sure if it's been confirmed yet(?). As others have stated, it's Ayumi, she will keep it classy and it's not like she's posing nude or anything. Not that I'd mind, but, you know, others would. :P But seriously, she's a very beautiful woman and she's still so young - let her do her own thing.

I've been using this a lot lately, but, it rings true with sooo many things, I'm coming to realize. --> You only have one life, and you're only young once.

ayuzlove 11th May 2008 04:41 AM

This smile kills the sexy appeal.

ownsarai 11th May 2008 06:52 AM

I hope to see these adverts soon! :D Ayu will be a great model for them. :)

angelwing886 11th May 2008 10:08 AM

interesting

fanmail 11th May 2008 10:16 AM

LOL, Ayu getting her sexy on. >_>

Lanz16 11th May 2008 10:21 AM

I knew what is "Wacoal" is and I don't want to see Ayu having the very sexy image that can cause nose bleeding.

But for sure... I know that Ayu will never do that. :)

ayumisrael 11th May 2008 10:44 AM

Btw, the source website is very reliable so I think it's pretty official, unless if the site itself wrote it's a rumor. XD

ayu_fantasy 11th May 2008 01:43 PM

Thanks for the info..... I hope it wouldn't be too reavealing though... :).....

The models for truimp are quite revealing though....

SS_Macka 11th May 2008 02:05 PM

OMG LOL!!

yeh i saw the wacoal ad's in taiwan in march.. and holy cow those girls looked hawwwwwwt!

nxt i can picture ayu walkin down the catwalk flashin hers.. oh geezus LOL

dis is kinda exiciting XD

alternarist 11th May 2008 02:14 PM

it's become a rumour?

waterballoon 11th May 2008 02:53 PM

What's so wrong about advertising lingerie? You guys are making it sound like she's doing porn.

Anyway, I'm sure with Ayu's poise and aura, she'd be a very good spokesperson for Wacoal. IIRC Wacoal's a Japanese brand too lol.

tehxiinae 12th May 2008 05:24 AM

Ayu is such good friends with Mika of Peach John, it seems weird she would become spokesperson for a competition brand...hmm...

Or maybe they don't include Japan because ayu won't endorse it in Japan since she is a good friend with mika..
Does Peach John also avail outside Japan?

ownsarai 12th May 2008 05:49 PM

^it was mentioned that Wacoal is a part of Peach John in Japan.

Melon Panda 12th May 2008 06:05 PM

I"m not sure how lingerie would affect Ayumi's image since I'm not even sure what her image is anymore. It doesn't seem to target a specific age group - she's more generalized now, as opposed to a youth-model (which she once was). It might help and it might hurt. I have no idea.

MissElin_ 12th May 2008 08:00 PM

Hmm I dont want to overthink this. I mean, she definitive have the body so why not show it off? :P

LacusClyne 13th May 2008 04:52 AM

that would be cool, seeing ayu's cm in so many countries!

KarenPang 13th May 2008 05:00 AM

if this's true , I hope the shots would be classy & tastefully done

00Prince-Ayumi00 13th May 2008 06:29 PM

Ayu wearing lingerie????... I don´t see Ayu wearing lingerie.... But I think it´s time to see a really SEXY AYU!!!!! Now the queen will be sexy!!! jajajaja......

taskinillusion 13th May 2008 09:26 PM

Sweeet! I don't see why people are having a hard time imagining her doing this... she's almost 30 after all and has worn sexy stuff before!

wenren93 15th May 2008 01:53 PM

though ayu has a perfect figure,
but ahhh hemm, her !@#!$ quite .... @__X||

KaoriNeko 17th May 2008 08:54 PM

^WHOA.

When will this be confirmed or not? I hope she doesn't cover up with corsets like she always does. :grumpy
They make her look frumpy and short.

ayu is doing some breakthrough, just support her, will ya!!

To correct this, Wacoal actually bought all of Mika Noguchi's Peach John stocks, so Peach John is part of Wacoal. Noguchi is still CEO but does not own the company anymore.

wenren93 18th May 2008 05:18 AM

hot hot ayu o.0
i can't wait for that ! LOLLL

atashida 18th May 2008 07:32 AM

From my impression when I was in Japan, Peach John was the hip young edgy brand (like Victoria's Secret 10 a while ago...VS is pretty mainstream now), and Wacoal is just a huge bra/underwear retailer for all ages. I have Wacoal JP stuff and I LOVE it...it is definitely still sexy tho maybe not as out there as Peach John. (Wacoal has a US line but all the designs are really boring.)
