[Official] Ayumi feat Wacoal - SEXY lingerie showcase
 

Ayumi has now completed the photography of a photographic series for the brave lingerie from high class "Wacoal", marketed by Peach John in Japan. She will be depicted on large billboards in China, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and other Asian countries. There is also a rumored that she also will front the lingerie in the United States, as well as in several European countries, including France. The newspaper 'Sanspo' suggests that this is a step in the marketing of Ayumi Hamasaki outside Japan, since such ads will give her great media attention in the relevant countries.

Mika Nogutchi, "Mommy" the president of the Peach John, and one of Ayumi's closest friends was presented during photography. Publishing date has not yet been confirmed.

TOKYO —

Lingerie maker Wacoal has signed up singer Ayumi Hamasaki, 29, for its lingerie advertising campaign in the Asian market. According to Wacoal, photos of Hamasaki in Wacoal underwear will be used for advertisements in China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam from the end of July. The ads will not be used in Japan, the company said.

A spokesperson for Wacoal said, “Ms Hamasaki has the highest profile in Asia and is supported by females fans in their 20s who are our target consumers.” The company is expecting a synergy effect from the ads with her Asian tour in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taiwan from Sept 20.

Photos were taken by Mika Noguchi who is president of lingerie maker Peach John and Hamasaki’s close friend.

Yay!! Looking forward to see sexy ayu :love

Maybe there will be also a CM for it and will feature a new song and will be a whole campaign (kinda like Vidal Sassoon and namie?)?

Wow i wanna see pictures noooooow!! ^^

Can't wait!!

Very exciting! Can't wait for the pictures!!

A new tie-in; and a good one.. This is AWESOME! Hope it'll be tied in with her next single

Any sources other than your own website?

Because, not to personally bash you or anything, this seems ridiculously fishy.

the article is on sanspo as well which he sourced.

As he posted, it's official XD

Yeah, that wasn't there when i originally posted.

Well, it really does seems official!

Thanks Maxker, and sorry for doubting you!

That's so exciting! I hope the western part is true. Let's see...

I forgot to add the Sanspo link..sorry :( *added*

It's not my website. (I wish..) I'm just a news-admin publishing information collected by the users at Ayu.no :)

OMG AYU LOOKS DAMN HAWT *____________*

alright, i added a picture from the Wacoal campaign, you should put it in the first post!

that is a gorgeous picture! sexy and cute at the same time!

Oh my god. She's hot.

OMFG *nosebleed*

HOT HOT HOT!

She looks so god damn sexy!

o__o

Thank you!!

I'm glad that ayu looks classy sexy (which just fits an underwear modelling) and not skank sexy.

ayu looks damn hot. I'm looking forward for more pictures.

It'll be only a matter of time now before an announcement occurs for something else..

And it's about time, I'm so ready :yes

Ayu is so hot !!! I like this picture ^^ Ayu is very beautiful and natural <3

Only Ayu can show her underwear and still look classy.. It's so weird.. Why is it that when ALLLL those people do stuff like that; it's all ****ty.. And with Ayu it's... just not... I guess there's just something to her face or her image that makes her classy... but.. AWESOME!!

Exactly what I thought... ayu is just unique :D

I think it's because we don't get the impression that Ayu is trying too hard.

YAY! This should really help Ayu's promotion ^^

ayu is sexalicious! can't wait for more...

it's very sexy but her boobs look bigger than usual, imho oO It's probably a padded bra.

I think you're right! It's like.. when Ayu does stuff like this; it's not so obviously in order to sell more copies of her CDs. She's been at the top for 10 years being a never-controversial descent female star (which is RARE); so she is allowed to do his and still be natural and classy.

WOah O_O hot ... O_O!

Great news!! >w<!!! The campaign sounds like a good promo method too ~~

---------
Ayu does sexy in a non-sex-imitating way~~ imo~

Ayu is so kawaii!!!

thanks for news!

ayu looks very mature and sexy. Can't wait to see more pics!

Was almost my first reaction. @_@.

Wa, she's --to put it frankly- FREAKING HOT. I hope this means we're getting some more announcements soon (in the new material vein...). It'd definitely be cool to see this ad in the US ^_^

Ayu is so sexy~~~!

WO!! THAT PIC IS AMAZING!!!

OMG THIS IS HOT!
:faint She looks so good in it.

Meh~ this will never be used in Australia. D:!

i highly doubt this ad will ever show up in the US or Europe...but i'll hope that rumored part is true. that'd be really interesting.

great promotion though, i'm glad to see her doing something new!

WOW. She looks so good omg, I can't wait to see more.

OMG. I tilted my head to the left.. I've never thought of Ayumi like that. I need ~*~purification~*~.
I'm all for the Asia-wide [+ worldwide] campaign, though. It'd be interesting to see Ayumi market products somewhere outside of Japan. She's got a base audience in the regions she performed during AT07 [and will perform at AT08] so it's only wise to use her as a spokesperson.

It's sad that I look at this photo and it looks like Ayu lost an arm during the photoshoot.

Her boobs seem to look larger because she's laying down on her side. Like, the cleavage is crazy for some reason.

beautiful. really beautiful. :yes now bring on the new single! :laugh

that photo's of ayu???

:O!

sexay!

I really can't believe it's Ayu......But ok...

Wow Ayu :laugh

thank god the photo shoot turned out like this. Ayu looks really classy even though she's not wearing much. I think its her facial expression...the sweet smile that doesn't make her look like a s*ut.

^ Yes, exactly. I knew for sure Ayu wasn't going to go ****ty on us. :yes

ayu can never pull off ****ty to me (which is a good thing lol :D)

she looks so childlike in my mind O=]

some friends agree but maybe that's not just me?

^ Oh I know! She is just so cute and adorable in my eyes! :D

AWESOME! Go Ayu.

The photoshoot for on my way was totally a dress rehearsal for this, only 2.5 years earlier.

huge image.

Hot! I love how she managed not to look skanky. I don't think she neccessarily look childlike. But in these photoshoots, the expression is really a huge factor.

She looks surprisingly natural though.

The bra advertised also look very nice

Ayu loves her bikinis I'd say.

Another pictures from Zoom in today:

Yeah, but on my way has a bra with very similar, if not the exact same design. :O The shapes, the sizes, the everything..

Interesting.

We'll probably be getting those clips soon.

She looks amazing! I can't wait to see more! It's sexy, but not vulgar... great!

Beautiful pix =)

my mouth has yet to move from the floor. I thought we'd decided that the whole thing was a rumor, and now this all of a sudden surfaces, I love when that happens...especially when all of those "that would never happen" people get slapped in the face :)

LOVE IT!!

can't wait to see others.

i would be very excited to see these pictures in the US, and most likely yo buy any magazine it's in just for support, that being said, i've never purchased a magazine before lol

that's not mika john taking the pic right?

SEXY AYU GOING WORLDWIDE!!!

I think Mikajohn just supervised the project. I hope she didn't take the dang photos.

oh my word - she looks gorgeous! and that smile :D very beautiful.

yay ayu~

Ayu looks gorgeous <3 So beautiful. It would be great if the part about the U.S. is true. *Thinking selfishly* It would be a dream if she ever performed here T_T I'd sell my soul to see ayu in concert ! ;)

She makes that look so damn classy. I love her.

me too! I wanna see her on a billboard for wacoal here. i would definitely take a pic

Oh, WOW. O_O She looks gorgeous! I'm not used to seeing pictures of her like this, but she really looks good. :)

doubt it, since those pictures look pretty professional in terms of photography.

And Ayu's definitely wearing a pushup bra.

i love the picture! it's very sexy.

& it would be awesome if these pics were shown in western countries too. :)

I dunno. I watched ANTM and Tyra Banks seemed to easily take professional photos..

Though really, Mikajohn probably wasn't the photographer.
