Ayu's physique
 

mmm...is it just me? but I think ayu has gained some weight lately..since she went to HK for 09 calendar shot..she seems to have gained some weight..not that I dunno like her now but just a thought

I wonder why did she gain weight??? stress???

I'm sure she's gained weight at different times throughout her life/career. There have been days where she was thin one week and the next she looked a little more plump. However, I never think that she's fatter than when she was younger. I think she's filled out more and even gained muscle.

For example, I was watching "evolution" from a-nation '02 and I couldn't stop starting at her belly! So flat, so cute, so tiny! Then I saw her perform "is this LOVE?" at a-nation '05 and looked at her stomach again. It was certainly bigger (shaped differently) than from 2002, but I honestly think it's muscle. Besides, you can see little abs, too. ^^

Her weight has always fluctuated a bit, but yes, right now she does look less fit than usual. You can really see that her arms look much thicker than they used to. This shouldn't really be a question of age either because if you are taking care of yourself with diet and excersize, her being 30 shouldn't be an issue in this as 30 really isn't that old yet. I'm not sure whats causing it. Maybe she has a thyroid problem or something, who knows.

2005 was probably her most fit time period. She was still very thin but had good muscle tone as well.

Yea around the end of the Japanese leg of AT08, but I think she went back to normal judging from the pictures from her concert in HK.

yes i noticed in her calendar shoot she was looking much bigger. but since then, it looks like she has lost a bit of weight and looks like a normal weight, not too thin but not too large. of course when she gains weight it will look like she gained a lot more than she really did, since she is so short. poor ayu.
maybe since it is her 10th anniversary, she is celebrating by eating a lot of food? :D

yea I agree. she has gained some weight during AT 08 and around the shooting for 09 calendar, but I think before she went back to HK last week, she has been looking a little slim again.

She looks healthier. It's not a bad thing. :yes

she looked slim in hong kong~
and in here too...which btw is for what?

wowowow. she does look very slim there

^ that pic when she's doing yoga. ayu also did yoga in Hawaii during vacation there.. :yes

Isn't there already a thread about Ayumi gaining weight?

I noticed she looked chubbier, definitely not fat, but not as toned. I thought that maybe she gained weight to have a bigger bust? (I mean she is the Warcoal model for some countries) And then after doing, she just liked being a bit curvy. :shrug Or maybe she's just stressed and eats her feelings... :P Not trying to be mean, she's always pretty. But I just don't see how some people can say being less toned is healthier.
I mean look at A Museum 03 and then a-nation 08.

There have been several before, yes. Apparently it's an amazing topic of discussion that comes up a few times every year... :rolleyes I don't think there's ever been a time where I would ever call her "fat" though, that's for sure.

If she's anything like me (which is scary because Ayu and I are actually really alike, so I wouldn't be surprised =P) then she would bloat like crazy once a month and look like she's gained about 10 pounds. yay for being female.

But eh, my physique fluctuates all the time as well. I think most of us do. =P

she definitely hasnt been working on her body as much as in like 2005. She had the best body in 2005 compared to her other years. She looks great right now though, just doesnt have the athletic look

ayu was very fit back then...and I agree that 2005 ayu was the fittest. Now she doesn't have much of a waist (doesn't look like muscles to me coz there's handles) and her arms are bigger.

^ :roflmao

I don't mind ayu to be chubbier actually. This shows that she's been eating a lot and that's a good thing! Because she's been working like al;khsfklsdjasf for avex for the past few years. (Up till now...)

She had a stressful year, it'd be no shock if she's eating more or if her hormones are just throwing her metabolism out of whack.

Either way, I'd KILL to look like "fat" ayu. Even when I was thin, I didn't look that good XD

^seriously...

I wish I weighed...what...105? 110 at most?

She looks fine.
