The dancers' ages?

Chibi_Venus · #1 10th July 2008, 06:38 PM

Alright, so I was rewatching Arena Tour 2006 and the MC where Ayu and Yoshio talk about the dancers' ages. If you've seen it, you probably know what I'm talking about.

Well, when the dancers (save Go-Mi) revealed their ages (15) I was shocked. Is this really true? I mean, obviously they're a couple of years older now since they were 15 in 2008. Still, I just can't fathom the fact that these dancers are around my age (or just born in the early 90's).

So... is it true?

It probably sounds really dumb, but I'm very curious.

(Even when the band revealed their ages I was surprised!)

If you watch the special DVD for Arena Tour 2005, Ayu introduces her new male dancers for that year and they give out their actual ages. I would tell you what they said but I am at work at the moment

I don't recall that part and I don't understand japanese well enough to understand any MCs, but I don't think that's true, at all.

I was looking at a website with Shuya and Zin's profiles, and Shuya is marked as 25. (I can't remember ZIN).

It's impossible them being 15, because 1) I'm pretty sure it would be illegal and 2) while some of them do look young, none of them look under the age of 20 imo.

^ I can see what you mean.

Maybe it would be better if I provided the video. I found it subtitled. Now here's the thing: Those subtitles could very well be incorrect, but I don't know enough Japanese to say whether the subtitles are definitely right or definitely wrong.

Here's the video.

The whole segment starts at about 6:50 into the video.

Yea I remember watching it when I was originally watching the Special DVD for AT06. I was pretty sure it was a joke from the start, and they were all saying 15 to prep and set up for Gomi's big joke at the end.

Yep! It's a joke xD. The 15 year old girl was asking how old she had to be, and they all said they're 15 as a joke. lol

Ah, okay. It is a joke! I'm not going crazy!

I just wouldn't take it as a true fact. I thought it was impossible for them to all be 15, as did my friend and mother. lol

Thank you so much everyone for clearing up my completely confused mind!

If you still want to know their real age, I only know Zin's and Shuya's, since they mention it in their (old) website which even have their birthdays <3 Both are 29.

Naoto would be 25 and Hide is 27, if you calculate their age from AT05. I think it is plausible for Gomi to be 30+ XD What I want to know is the female dancers' ages! D:

^ I think some of them are around Ayu's age, probably Midor(ing) and Aki... I think that's her name. Anyway, I think they're very pretty women but during the documentary for AT07 they looked hella pissed and a little older than I anticipated o_o So that threw me off a bit.

truehappiness · #10 11th July 2008, 05:00 AM

The female dancers are probably in their mid-20's as some have pointed out..

Though I think Chisa-chan might be 30+ seeing as how she's been working with Ayu for quite a while now.

lfe. · #11 11th July 2008, 05:40 AM

^

Chisa does look old and possibly over 30, but the four from the past years (Aki, Kayano-chi, Midoring, Chisa) have all been working with Ayu for extremely long time. I think all of them minus Aki have been there since the beginning, as you'll see them in the 2001-2002 CDL.

truehappiness · #12 11th July 2008, 06:22 AM

Well, I know she's had the same female dancers for a hella long time, but Chisa looks the oldest of all of them.

Do you guys know how old Subaru is?

majrakun · #18 11th July 2008, 11:18 AM

Yep, turning 30 next year. And Subaru is probably 25-27 ish? Haha, I'm not good with estimates XD He didn't say anything during his intro, he was too shy <3

Ayu_no_tenshi · #19 11th July 2008, 01:35 PM

That's a neat website maj. Whos all the other peoples profiles? Were they part of Zin and Shuya's dance crew? I know they came from like the same dance dojo and stuff.

Hmm Shuyas a 79 eh? Interesting, that means hes into the older women
