This might sound weird after all of this discussion about whether she's had a nose job, whether it's makeup, or what, but uh...
I see no point in discussing ayu's LOOKS to anywhere near this level. Who. The heck. CARES what she looks like?!?!?!
Honest to goodness, people. Ayu's charm is not, and has never been, her looks. Her makeup & clothes, sure, but that's more because she's projecting her taste in fashion & makeup, not because those things are what she looks like. With her makeup & clothes, she was just sharing something she enjoyed with her fanbase. No, her charm has been in her lyrics, her "taking control" personality, her artistic choices. Not her looks.
You guys can go on & on & on about "oh she must have had surgery," "oh, I don't like how her face looks now," whatever. But THAT IS WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE NOW. If you wanna be the shallow fan who really only ever liked her cuz she had a cute face, then fine. But alot of us don't feel that way. Alot of us simply don't care that much.
Ayu's face was going to change eventually regardless - age happens. Your nose gets bigger, your ears get bigger, your wrinkles get more defined, your cheeks change shape, your lips get thinner, your face CHANGES. So one way or another, her face was gonna change, so if her looks were a big draw for you, you're a fool to think she'd always look like that & you'd never be disappointed in her looks. Heck, I'm only 25 years old and my face is ALOT different than it was just a few years ago - age has already started to get me. Ayu's 30, so age is probably starting to get her.
If if is, and she's decided she wants to fight back with plastic surgery, fine! Good for her! She's got the money, and now maybe she has her 15 year old nose back - if she does, I have no fundamental issues with that.
But I'll be honest, guys, her facial changes have been so gradual, I'm not seeing a substantial difference from how she looked a few years ago, and no, there's nothing you could say or show me that would make me magically see what you guys are seeing. If she did get a nose job, it didn't do too much, and she should probably get her money back.
That said, honestly, I can't think of any time when she would have had the TIME to get one. We see her all the time - when could her nose have possibly healed up from such a procedure? I'm sure there was a time in there somewhere when she disappeared for a few weeks, but I can't think of it.
I honestly could care less if she's had surgery or not - and I'm honestly shocked that you guys care so much.
But if her looks and personal choices are THAT much of a concern to you, you shouldn't be here. It's okay if you're a fan of her looks, just go look at photos of her though. Don't come here and try to discuss her face intelligently, because there's really no way to do that.
If her personal choices concern you to the point where you need to put side-by-side photos up to see if she's had plastic surgery..... *sigh* Honestly, you shouldn't idolize someone to the level where your life hinges on whether or not SHE would ever get plastic surgery. Think to yourself, what difference does it make?? If she's had work done, she's had work done. Having work done doesn't necessarily make her dishonest - it's a personal choice she made. She's a very honest person as far as her feelings & thoughts, her blog alone is proof of that, if not her lyrics. If she's uncomfortable with any part of her looks, and she has the money to fix it, then that's her business, not yours. If you're offended by the idea that she might have had plastic surgery, honestly, why are you idolizing any celebrities at all? I mean seriously, the number of celebrities that HAVEN'T had work done probably number in the single digits!
You have to think to yourself WHY you're a fan of ayu's. Any personal decisions she makes regarding her own body have NOTHING to do with us - it's her lyrics & style & attitude towards her fans that touches us. We can be dissatisfied with these scans, but does it really warrant 10 pages of discussion? We should be dissecting her lyrics like this, not unflattering photos.
