Exclamation Ayu's autographs - help with fakes ...
Hi

I just wonder - does someone have an original autograph from Ayu?
At ebay you can find sometimes pictures with an autograph - but a friend told me, those are mostly fakes... even if they give a returning guarantee if you're not satisfied.

Since I don't want to spend any money in fakes - could someone help me and tell me - whether those autgraphs are fakes or not (and why)?
And if someone has a true autograph - can you post it for future compares?







(All from the same source / ebay seller)

Thanks a lot (and sorry for my bad english)

Anyone can put a sig on a poster/CD/whatever, and even make it look like it's real. I wouldn't trust any signed Ayu item on Ebay. The best way to certify you're getting a real sig is getting it from Ayu herself.

Sure - but how big is the chance to get one from herself...?
I saw her just once in person - from far away at a concert... ^^

But I guess that's what makes them valuable... or is there an adress where you could send in pictures for subscribing? ^^

The chance is definitely very small, although is certainly is possible to get one. You'll have to go through a lot though, I guess.

They are all fake, 100% guarantee. The real ayu signature can be seen in the A Song for XX album booklet, last page where she thanks everyone. Her latest signature is a little more fancy than that, but still they look very similar to the one in that booklet.

Those seller just plain suck, and those signature looks HORRIBLE, like some kid's graffiti.

It doesn't look real. I've seen her signature, and the 'a' in Ayu looks like her 'a' symbol.

An autograph on ebay is usually a sure sign of a fake, and those look pretty bad. And IMHO, buying an autograph is just dumb, the fun is meeting the person and having them sign something to have as a memory of when you met them.

i'm sure it's fake just by looking at the "A"...it looks more like the chinese word for "nine" than the Ayu logo
and who would wanna sell something so precious on ebay?

If you're not into ayu so much anymore and you know someone else would appreciate it more, then there'd be no reason not to sell an ayu autograph on ebay.

Actually, the best way you can see her real autograph is to look at the balls she signs & throws to the audience during independent performances in concert. Those are for sure real when you see them on ebay or yahoo auctions, and they're not done slowly like the reprinted autographs on those life-size Visee posters or her signed name in CD booklets. If anyone needs a pic of one of the balls w/ her autograph i can post one... i have three pics of them, i think.

Yes please, would love to see them. ^^

@all
Thanks for your answers!
And don't hesitate to post your "real autograph" if you should have one. ^^

mhmm...
Does someone know how or where to get an autograph from Ayu herself?
Or... where or how did you get them, if you have any?
Unfortunatelly I was too far away from the concert stage - so there was no way to catch a ball... (but who knows, maybe next time) ^^
I also wonder - is someone here in Ayu's official Team Ayu Fanclub? (those people must be really lucky)
