so, Ayu DOES smoke?

[ayu_ready?]

as quoted from one of recent posts, translated to English

After this, I had a cigarette in celebration, but because of that, inside this Momi-girl's throat, it was like BAM and it became hard to breathe. So I stopped smoking the cigarette.
I was sure to put the cigarettes somewhere far away from me.
I'm starting to rethink that decision.

or did I miss smth? I remember hard debates about her smoking or not smoking, and some photos shown, but yet we didn't know the truth so

I actually don't mind her smoking at all! just interested

I thought it would be weird the first time you smoke, so that's why it make it hard to breathe? Or maybe ayu haven't had a cigarette in such a long time that she's not used to it?

Soooo....? Smoking is fine.

LOL "Smoking is fine" I think what you mean to say is that her smoking is fine with you...cus obviously smoking isn't fine, it can cause all sorts of problems and complications.

[KarenPang]

I don't know , there were reports of her in the past that she does smoke & etc

a lot of artistes I support , they also do it & frankly it's their own decision to do so & I'm not in a position to say that they're right/wrong to do it but obviously at the end of the day , the fans for any artiste want it to be at their best interest & to snub the habit altogether

[Meat Pao]

That's right! Now the truth is out everybody can stop arguing about it Besides it's not like she smokes all the time anyway.

[ayuayu798]

I'm not if she does or not, but she doesn't seem like someone who smokes to me...

Edit- In her blog for 7/21/09 she said she was trying not to smoke too much.

I don't care if she smokes as long as it doesn't destroy her voice.

Smoking does mess around with your voice. Her voice is a lot more deeper now than it was when she debuted. I always assumed it was due to her crazy schedule so she couldn't rest her voice like she should. Smoking would contribute to that.

exactly.

[AyuHamasaki01]

who cares? as long as she keeps making (good) music ...

[Sandre]

Haha, I never know Ayu is smoking.
Better don't smoke. Not that good anyway.

As I said in the other topic it seems that message from 07/21 didn't deal with her smoking at all, the excerpt mentioned has been translated differently by ayuangel, but I can't tell which one is real since I don't know japanese at all ^^ :


"Then, I don't know if I sucked too much on my drinking straw, but my tea just got right deep inside my throat and I started to suffocate.
So I put it slowly far away from me.
And I came back to my senses"

Otherwise even if she smokes it's no big deal it's her problem XD

That sounds more like something she would say or talk about, though I don't care if she smokes or not

I completely agree. I think that message might've have been mistranslated. It's more probable that she was just talking about that straw than cigarettes.
Ayu always writes about the most random stuff. I swear she could write a whole message about her pencil sharpener or w/e lol.

Anyways, even if she does smoke, i couldn't care less tbh. I smoke too, so, who am i to judge her?

[chestergringo]

I don't know, but think that yes.

[Lanz16]

As far as I can remember, she said once on one of her TA message entry that she will stop smoking for a reason.

And yes, it was conFIRMed.

Yep - she'd better stop now, experts say it's really bad, and it's not really good if you're a serious singer...

By the way, what message number is this, and could someone get a translation if available?

And by the way, although this is off, I'm not sure about this, but I think Ayaka Iida does not smoke - does anybody confirm about this?

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I personally hate smoking, but if she does it... uhmm, is her body after all. she decides what to do to herself etc
is not like "good for her that she smokes" anyway... but yea, I believe that singers shouldn't smoke.
