that just screams crazy. haha.

Made me laugh though cause of her face!!! :D

LOL funny xD

i can't tell it's edited though.

LOL that's in Singapore during the MTV Asia Awards 2002!

Why would it be edited? I don't think the middle finger means anything in Japan... :laugh

^ Guys I'm sure edited by someone else, I think I have the original pic. But I'll seach later

There's another photo of her flipping the bird somewhere..

i remember seeing this when it happened and thinking "hmm, why would she do that? maybe she`s just pointing", at the mtv music awards in singapore in.. 2002 or something, hEh. pretty sure it`s not edited, but ya never know.

It isn't edited!

maybe she's just trying to adjust her hand holding the fan? :shrug

I found this photo at some Singapore photography forum.apparently the photographer(self-claimed at the forum) mentioned that Ayu Really DID pointed when she held the fan.

And I honestly cannot see that it's edited

i dont know if its edit or not but for sure jpaanese dont use ut on a everyday basis . tey dont know the meaning

Yea, it's not edited, I saw this years ago. The look on her face is priceless, too! xD But I don't think she intentionally flipped anyone off. I think she may have been adjusting her hand to hold the fan and they snapped the shot at the moment. But then again, maybe Ayu was being a bad girl. :roflmao

It's NOT edited, BUT Japanese people use the middle finger a lot to point at things and NOT to insult somebody or something.
This gesture doesn't have the same meaning in Japan as in other parts of the world.

Yeah, she's held up her middle finger before, but like others have said, it doesn't mean anything bad in Japan :) Her expression is hilarious, though :laugh

How about this one?

^ That's not even her middle finger. @_@

Poor them if they come to America or somewhere and someone shows him the finger. Japanese guy: "Huh?? *looks up*"
lol

But it really looks like an accident or something :yes

I know, but it's somewhat like her middle finger XD

anyone want to elaborate on what the middle finger does mean in japan? you know, for those of us like me who don't go to japan and exercise the middle finger right?
