Question Ayu's Autograph Question

Hey all Ayu fans! So basically I wanted to buy my girlfriend an autograph from Ayu and here is my question, does these autographs look legit? I know autographs change as the years go by but I thought I'd hear with you Ayu fans if these look authentic.

I think that anyone can scribble down an "ayu" autograph. You can only be 100% sure if you either have your product signed by ayu herself or if the signed product is sold by an authorized seller. <- though I'm not familiar with this, since I have no experience with signed stuff.

So I highly doubt it.

Even if they are legit, I don't think it's a good idea to buy them. Buying it means that you are showing support for all these sellers who are trying to gain profits from ayu's hospitality, like that couple of idol-shop owners who kept hounding ayu to sign tons of stuff when she was in LA, just to turn around and sell it for hundreds of dollars online...

I would probably say no but I'm not sure.
These are her autographs here.
You can compare them.

The Y is consistently wrong from her typical autograph.

They look like this fake autographs showing up on ebay from time to time for a very cheap starting price.

Doesn't ayu usually write the year under her name as well? These do look fake.
