One shot question: who's this guy?
 

I wanted to ask this long time ago but I thought this must be an obvious question and you'll laugh at me so I have been searching by myself. Unfortunately, I still don't know it. I always thought it's Max Matsura but then I saw how he looks like and that was some other person...

Finally, I come here defeated, so please tell me who is this guy? :thud

He can be seen in so many making offs and concert backstage, now and in previous years. I saw him once making Ayu's hair, is he her hairdresser? If yes they seem to have more private relationship since he's always joking with her, playing with her dogs etc. Also the camera often makes close ups on his face that's why I thought at first that he's Matsura or someone as important as a producer (a director or sth). HAHA. Now, please, you may make fun of me but then tell me :tipsy

I supposed it was max matsuura too :irked

He's not :) I can get you Max's photo in few seconds... *goes searching it*

Max:

He's probably just one of her staff/assistants.

yeah, he's definitely not Max Matsura

i believe he is one of ayu's make up artist or hairdresser team..

Isn't he her makeup/hair dresser person that she used to know before becoming famous?(pre-avex)

^^yup yup, i think so.

totally different from max.

probably..

In my (miss)understood photobook, the one you get with firstpress (CD+DVD ver) I had a picture of him doing something to Ayu's hair. I remember her wearing that also black/white striped sweater dress while he was doing it too. It's too bad I cut my book up and posted all my favorite pictures on the wall just three months ago, otherwise I could probably tell you for sure that he is her hairdresser...

isn't that the guy that ayumi calls mom or something? or am i completely off? i can only keep track of peco...all the other members of her entourage blend together. :yes

he also does Ayu's hair in some making of (STEP You I guess), he even behaves a bit like someone from the fashion world :]

He's ayu's hairdresser, "kuro-chan"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

look at the pic of max and ayu
and notice her expression



yea, from the last pic you provided in the first post, i guess he'd be a hairdresser. look at poor marron! (btw, judging by ayu's ginormous hair, i'm guessing that's from the STEP you making of)

I remember seeing that guy in my photobook too. Wasn't he in the car with Ayumi driving as well?
