Japan purchases 45% of all boutique-y goods [GUCCI / Louis Vuitton / etc..] so, I imagine that all Japanese people try to buy such luxurious goods when possible.

I mean, you've seen the dresses she's worn in her magazine shoots right? They're like six-seven figures in yen, which imo, is a TON for a simple dress.. but then again, this is Ayu. I think she might buy 3-5 of a certain outfit in like, different colors for lives and public appearances, because in the making of 1LOVE, she's wearing an average sweatsuit-thing..

[and I really don't think she bought too many goods, just.. really expensive ones.]



I really don't think it's a 'waste' necessarily, since Ayu is a shopper, and has been since she was a teen. :p

Yeah and it isn't a good thing, she spent all her idol's money to buy things she will wear only one time and if she didnt become a singer I know exactly what she would do now because of her waste of money.

It's not a waste? artists that spend too much and go proud of it are just materliastic robots without any pursue of the future. She always say she doesnt want to think about the future and life the present, that's a very bad thing, there are people who are dying because they have really NO money and people like Ayu who have a lot and waste them when they can help A LOT of people.
