I <3 AYU!!! but...
 

HIIIIII~

You all know that you love AYU. I mean if you don't... then what are you doing here?? LOL... ok, I :heart AYU!!!!! but... I must admit sometime I think she tried SOOOO hard to pose aka being to posy. I'm not trying to say that it's a bad thing but in my opinion... sometime, she looks scary... for ex: the cover of Rock 'n' Roll Circus. She looks creepy >< but it's ok I still love her ^^

Now, what about you?? AND PLEASE DO NOT BASH ABOUT AYU!!!!! BTW... I DID NOT BASH ON HER!! so please don't come after me with a pitch and fork. Thanks~

The thing i don't like about Ayu is Mannie (sorry for saying it directly)

woa, you know, Im impressed by title of your topic and I wanna find sth to reply but I try so hard to think of sth I dont like about her now, lol. Keep on thinking...
May be sometimes her make-up makes her look strange, like in Ballad, the outfit s very beautiful but her face when she wears pink dress looks really pale and a bit scary. Her face in Crossroad also looks strange, especially when she looks at the candle, I think it is due to make up. Anyway, Ayu 's always beautiful ^^

i'll stay away from this thread lol

I love Ayu but I hate her collaboration with Kazuyoshi Shimomura!

this.

i also hate how she's way too nice to some people whom don't deserve to be treated nicely at all

but other than that, she's perfect in my eyes. my goddess :luv2

I love ayu, but I hate her weird face expression at SUNRISE/SUNSET ~love is all~ cover XD and I don't like some of her boring magazine shoots.

I ♥ Ayu but i hate it when she fakes her vibrato and uses too much make-up...:shakehead

I dont like how she uses the same thing over and over again for her concerts..

1) Shuyayu
2) the clowns

goodness. But Shuyayu is history. Now, the clowns.

I have a feeling this thread won't stay around long...
@Heavenly~ May I ask why you dislike Mannie?
The only thing I don't like about Ayu is also what artcika said, when she overdoes her vibrato.

Ayu is pretty creepy at times, but I'm kinda used to it after I almost peed my pants while watching ourselves and Marionette PVs.

I think that's the only thing that really had to be said.

I've always been wondering that this sounds really cruel. Every time I read this somewhere here, I get a feeling members here wants to kick every single neutral-Ayu fan out. People should really understand that not every person wants to talk about Ayu like 24/7. I've been on a forum that concentrated on just one thing and it was so damn boring to be there that I eventually had to leave the whole place behind. AHS is just like a forum that I like. There's topics for everyone to talk about. :)

^I think what she means is the reason everyone is on this forum and active at the moment is because they at least have a general liking for Ayu and her music. At least I would hope that's what she means. ^^

Uhm, sometimes there is too much photoshop used and I don't like Ayu when she is trying to be cute. I prefer her fierce and sexy with a beautiful personality, which she already is. And I also prefer simple and memoriable live performances; I do not need Shuayu drama etc.

I hate when she uses her dancers in almost every performances. I mean, some performances with her and the bands are great enough. Dancers go away please. It's not ayumi hamasaki & Co.

I hated when she used her dancers everytime she did something. Ex. Days PV, BALLAD, (OK, that's just Shuya, but there are a lot of actors waiting for their oportunity over there) Lady Dynamite and even for Sunrise's chorus! But now that she has stopped doing so... Everything's fine for me :D

One thing I dislike about Ayu (I couldn't really say 'hate' in regards to her... :P) is her tendency to overact during some ballad performances - especially recently. Some of my favourite ballad performances of hers are usually just her standing there, without some crazy story about unrequited love, an overly dramatic shaky voice, and other distractions - but just standing and singing and genuinely feeling the song and tearing up over it (Memorial address @ AT03-04, walking proud @ AT05, NEVER EVER @ DT01, etc).

The one exception to this was BALLAD @ AT10, where imo everything was acted out so perfectly I wanted to cry anyway :laugh :heart

Anyway, not to say that she hasn't had some of these in recent years, but they seem to be a lot more rare imo, especially in her tours. Really can't wait for POWER of MUSIC for exactly this reason :) <3

Oh, and I dislike her lack of medleys in concerts :laugh I mean, we get some on occasion, but I want some crazy Koda Kumi-length medleys with really unexpected songs strung together :'D

^I like CDL 2010~11 particularly for the medleys! :D

One thing I dislike about Ayu is... why is "Boys & Girls" in every tour? I just don't get it.

hmmm ....what i dislike about her....
it's really hard for me to point out lols~
but i agree with Hydeki that she needs to stop using her dancers in every of her PVs. it's not cool..if it's dance song, i think it's ok..but even in PVs that have storylines, example "Days", "BALLAD", why dancers???

i hope they will hire real model/actor/actress, that'll be great.
come on, avex! you are big company you can hire those models/actors/actresses!
well don't get me wrong, their dancers are really great in acting. just she's been overuse them lols~

i think that's one of the aspect that lacking on her current PVs.
she didn't use so much dancers in the past..and most of the PVs look awesome.

is not him it's her

Love ayu, but I dislike her EXTRA cutesy performances. Cutesy ayu is great!! But then there's a whole other level of trying really hard to be cute..

Also shuyayu. And her long vibrato on ballads or songs where it doesn't fit. But I love GUILTY era vibrato!
