Ayu: Anything Goes [XXIX]

[Xianghua]

Recently I ordered past tour goods from mercari, and the seller included some old photo ads in my package. One is a cherry Hi-Chew ad from 2003 where there was some campaign to get ayupan keychans.

Anyway, since I had to see this creepy thing, you do too.

Was watching this old evolution live and was surprised with the letterings on the screens:

EVOLUTION
EXTINCTION
INNOVATION
TIME
INDUSTRY
PRICE
THEORY
NUCLEAR (??)
INSANITY

I'm so curious about Ayu and Tyson's relationship and how it all started lol Do we know how they actually met? It's not like he was some model starring in her music video. He was some regular American guy studying to be a doctor(?) who had no exposure to celebrity life and all of sudden... they were married and she was going to live in LA

They had friends in common. I don't remember their names, but we had their instagram profiles when Ayu was managing her own social media.

I believe it was thru Christophe Choo (a luxurious L.A. real state) and his wife. We can see them together in Ayu's birthday back in 2013: https://hamasakiayumibr.blogspot.com...morado-la.html

[Andrenekoi]

^Yep! Them!

[pedronekoi]

That's the first time I am seeing this video:

[barisuta53]

^ I'm guessing the interview is about her films around that time since the question she reads is asking about what it was like to be a young actress.

Lol have you seen Vox Lux? They poke fun at this in the final pop concert scene. The director spoke about how he always notices random words being flashed across the screen at pop concerts and wanted to include that in the film.

wooow she's looking amazing here!

shame on me, I wasn't feeling the same way back in 2013. now when I'm in my 30s too I find her looking gorgeous!

[Katsuyuki012]

I like the way she looks in the last few photos but that make up + hair combination where she has the red lipstick really didn't do her any favours imo. Something about the hair is just... off.

[BlackSilence]

^it's very yellow because of the flash, i think that's why, although it's also just very casual, not done while the make-up and her dress is far from casual. Although i thought she looked great then, she does look great.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Load of the shugyo came on randomly and I literally forgot this existed lol.

Next Level’s interludes are so great!

[Aderianu]

Do you think Ohia no ki will be included in the next album, or it's A Ballads exclusive?

[Toniayu123]

^ I’m honestly wondering the same (if we get any new album at all lol). Everything is possible, but a part of me thinks both ohia and Haru will be on a next album somehow...

[truehappiness]

I assume new album will have Haru like You & Me was on LOVE again... and maybe the making of will be there.

[Katsuyuki012]

I think Ohia has a good chance of appearing on the next album. Not sure about Haru Yo, Koi since it seems more like the song they'd want to keep as an A BALLADS 2 exclusive.

[AndyF]

It could end up as her TROUBLE 2.0 "album"

Dreamed a Dream + Pray For You + Ohia no ki + Haru yo + new song

lol
