And of course Timmy and his work as her main backup vocalist, and frequent composer.
Love is Love

I always find her support to LGBTQ+ community so amazing! I remember when I attended CdM Tour there was a lot of trans girls in the crowd and with this I could see how much it was important to them to have Licco as a person they could be inspired by and that Ayu opened that door for her to be herself. I have so much respect for Ayu standing up about this. I don't think there's any other important entertainer/public figure doing that in Japan (even tho it's 2017!!!).

My favorite DJ Amaya remix

^I remember when How beautiful you are was chosen as the theme song for Tokyo Pride 2011 and I was so proud of Ayu for showing herself not only to be a popstar or a cultural icon, but a political figure.^^

:O I never knew that Licco is a trans woman.

I've never seen this before! OMG
And I wished there was a 30s version of this mermaid CM.

[YUKARI]

yeah, I loved her CMs. I remember how Divine Ayu had lots of her old CMs, but then it updated its CM page and lots of CMs were gone.

CMs gave me a chance to listen to her music back those times when I had really slow internet and could not download mp3 songs because they were more than 4 MBs while CMs were only 2 or 3 MBs.

I meant I've never seen her doing a comment over this CM and then doing an announcement about dome tour.

[pedronekoi]

^ That's such a beautiful CM <3

I really like this one:

[~angel*ayumi~]

I so love her CMs, I collected them back then.
But there is one that will be missing in my collection forever, most of the ppl even don´t know it exists. It´s a CM for her German single Connected I saw once on German TV Channel

Anyone else notice how you can take almost any of her instagram photos and they would make better covers than most of her single/album covers? Especially the summery ones.

Yes I was thinking that photo specifically was great . Nice cover ^^

[EndOfTheWorld]

I wish there were HD versions of all her commercials.
I think I like the TU-KA commercials best. Very mysterious.

Spoiler:

And also AUBE.

I love this lol

[Xianghua]

I don't know why that bird picture made me laugh like I did lol

@angel*ayumi that picture really is

[~angel*ayumi~]

A few CMs are avialable in HD or at least good quality, but only less, most are from non HD era.

Found this random picture on IG and it´s so beautyful <3

[YUKARI]

^ haha love it!

Got the new shampoo collab~
Smells good, but obviously if you're not into floral smells beware haha. I like it better than the sugar coconut one. That really lingered on everything it came into contact with haha.

I actually love that about it!
I'm in Japan at the moment and after my brought shampoo and conditioner went empty, I changed to ISM Sugar Coconut.
Not so much because of Ayu. It's silicone free (my hair doesn't like stuff with silicone, always gets greasier much faster with) and smells almost exactly like my shampoo before. But I knew of it because of her and checked it out.
