Ayu's blood type? It's disputed...
 

I thought Ayu has a blood type of an A, but it seems that the Japanese Wikipedia says that she has a blood type of an O, so who's right? Do we really know accurately what blood type does she have - blood type A or blood type O?

so...why does it matter?

I always thought she had O.

Don't know why, but I think now we need the real answer...

In japanese culture, blood type is kinda like zodiac... they are used to know about one's personality^^

^ This. :yes

I thought she was O, as well... But it would be cool if she had A (which is also mine :P).

I searched and most sources say that Ayu has a blood type of A, but the Japanese Wikipedia and quite a few sources say that she has a blood type of O. Have we seen any evidence of Ayu having a blood type of O?

What's about her official site?

http://www.avex.com.tw/4th/artist/ar...me=hamasakiayu

From Avex Taiwan's website

It list her blood type as A

Now this is quite confusing...how come Avex Taiwan says that Ayu has a blood type of an A when Wikipedia says that she has a blood type of an O? Or did someone in Wikipedia just changed the blood type information from an A to an O? Of course Ayu's official website itself does not have the blood type information...

^ anyone can edit wikipedia, so it's not a credible source to rely on

you can't always trust Wikipedia. :/ i'd trust one of the official sites more than Wikipedia... anybody can change the info on Wikipedia anyway.

Yeah, maybe someone at Wikipedia just changed it on purpose...

Yeah anyone can edit stupid wikipedia :P :laugh What does blood type A mean for the person according to the zodiac?

^They're a hard worker, I believe. More here! :D

I agree with that XD You can probably find more in depth characteristics through googling, I just got it through Wikipedia

In Popteen June 2002, Ayu says her blood type is A.

(see question 3)

so i think it's true that's A type blood ^_^ interesting, i never found info about Ayu's O type blood.

Thanks! :D

let's all go poke Ayu with needles to find out! :D jkjk

I always thought she was a type A, i never heard that she has type O before >_>

yep...definitely A

YES she's a A like me :D

Okay, do we agree that she has a blood type of an A? If she had an O, then maybe it's because someone at Wikipedia just "vandalized" and changed her blood type information...

^ he/she could also have heard wrongly... I mean Wikipedia is unreliable but I guess everyone has his reason for editing the information there lol

^ I think that's true. I've seen very many A-types with Japanese blood. I even remember Hikaru Utada commenting on that fact! :O


I just would like to point out that Wikipedia isn't as unreliable as everybody thinks it is. I've read several websites that have compared it to actual "official" published encyclopedias, and they have pretty much the exact same accuracy. And I believe this, because it's not as easy to post random information as everybody thinks. You HAVE to have a source if you want to change more than a few words, and it's like somebody checks an edited post IMMEDIATELY. (Okay, not always immediately, lol. But probably within an hour or so?) They can see what was edited and who edited it. If they find there is no source to go along with it, or if it sounds kinda "eeehhhh...," then they change it back to the previous version and inform you of why it can't be changed (because they log everybody's IP). You can't even add a picture without exact copyright information.
Even encyclopedias you find in book stores and libraries will have at least one mistake in them. After all, both they and Wikipedia are edited by humans, and we aren't perfect, of course. So don't be so negative, guys! I'm sure somebody was just mistaken on her blood type (they weren't trying to vandalize her or anything..), and whoever reviewed the edited blood type wasn't quite sure about it, either, and they just forgot about it and let it go, because...honestly, it's not that important, right? It's not like somebody messed up her discography page, saying she sold a million copies with her debut, "LOVE PUNCH". :P

^oh, I delated my message by mistake... well.. before Crystal_ageha post I talked about how there's a common blood-type in every country that the majority of population have ^^

She definitely has the personality of a person with type A blood.

I'm an A-Type as well.... and if you turn Ayu into a lazy, unambitious dreamer who loves sitting at her computer & researching things more than doing anything, you get me.

In other words, she and I are COMPLETELY different. XD

I bought a pirated cd of hers ages ago before I knew about it and it had a little info thing about here in it like date of birth, fav colour etc, and it says her blood type is A

Yeah, I think she has A :yes

This made me laugh! XD

Not really, we have lots of examples of vandalized pages, and I doubt they check listed sources everytime, + sources are not essential, I saw many articles with info tagget as "source wasn't listed yet"
But in this case I really think it's just mistype or smth

I'm A too but not sure if Ayu's A too. She's a fashion trend setter and I'm a fashion disaster!

^ She's A, it's just blood types are extremely bad for that stuff. Best to stick with horoscopes. ;)

How about "best to stick with actually getting to know a person"? XD

why do people keep doubting her blood type even after Deli provided the proof. she said herself that she is A...

i WISH she were O like me :luv2
hahaha

:yes

But that's mostly only with English wikipedia and generally only often visited pages get checked, so there can be false information in like Japanese artists' singles' articles etc. in English wikipedia. I hate it when people say that wikipedia is not reliable at all. I think everyone who first heard of wikipedia and wikis thought first that it's not reliable like I did. People should just get over it...

And ayu's japanese wiki page is protected so only old registered members can edit it. In the article's editing history somebody changed it from A to O.

I went through some edits by this person who changed it and he/she doesn't seem like a troll. Weird...
