Yeah, I was about to mention Wada. Also I would say Akina Nakamori - she praised Ayu although it was on a tv show and Ayu was right next to her, so even if she didn't like her, I doubt Akina would say it.

Beyond these examples though, I've surprisingly heard Ayu mentioned very few times by other artists. The ones that seemed to look up to her the most were actually many of the girls in Hello Project.

It was written in a news article (who knows how reliable it is though) that Ayumi called Namie "The Monkey" and Namie called Ayu "The Makeup Monster." Pretty funny if its true, but I highly doubt they would be open about a distaste for each other.

"Perfume and GIRL NEXT DOOR was LIPSYNC!!! what is criteria about this kouhaku program?!" she said.
Ahaha I love Wada Akiko.
She was so mad at her team~

Perfume is obvious, but I really didn't suspect Girl Next Door. I would love to read Wada's comments though. Do you have a link?

Yes! The monkey and makeup monster nicknames. I coulda swore it was mentioned on this forum or on some fan website I browsed. I just couldn't find it anymore and was questioning if I actually saw it or not

^Namie Amuro is also reported to have going to a show or two last year in Ayu's tour. To me that signals that not only does she probably at least respect Ayu, but she also must at least enjoy her music/theatrics. I think it's great when artists support each other...but then again, when you're an artist, you're still gonna wanna just relax and watch your faves too.

jimex289 · #4 2nd January 2009, 02:36 AM

Ah Namie too! I do recall hearing something about that, actually. It's quite significant Ayu's noticed and respected by such a fellow big star, who has seen her own days of fame and recognition.

have you guys seen that video on youtube of BoA talking about ayu???

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6tYNwrg5fo

I found it awesomee xDD ayu is such a good person, even that shes a rich b**** sometimes xDDD

about the kuu vs. ayu thing, it annoys mee soo much xDD meeting all this fans from both sides that hate one or another, personally, without thinking that im an ayu fan, I dont like koda, her "cute" pvs seem really fake... but she's got a pretty good voice!! and i love her sexy love songs like Aishou, and I also love TABOO xDDDD but yea...
i met this guy from south america, and hes such an ayufan that he wont listen to any other jpop singer or even western female singer...

i think that closed minded stuff should end.

BoA is also one of my favorite singers.

well, for one point of view, kuu's cuteness during a pv might look fake, but that is the real her. kuu actually has more of a cute and straightforward personality.

but back to topic, i had once heard a rumour that Ayu don't like ceratain members of Morning Musume in 2000/2001. According to the article, the girls were like 14 or 15 years old, but ayu caught them smoking and cursing in the toilet. the article said that ayu despise them for their behaviour.

Lol yeah Kuu is a very genuine person. What you see is what you get. She's not some dirty **** people make her out to be nor is she some fake person trying to put on a cute act.

The whole Morning Musume thing is very interesting lolol. I don't know if she'd despise them for what they did though. Ayu herself was quite a rebel back in the day. Though I have no idea of whether she smoked back in the day, these actions seem to belong in the same category of things Ayu did when she was young. Probably not as bad though lol.

Did you see M station with Utada Hikaru and Hamasaki Ayumi
Utada sings Ayumi Hamasaki songs at Karaoke
And they were laughing and finishing each other's sentences at the end of the program, and Hamasaki laughs on her shoulder.
It was really like they were best friends~~~ awww.
And when the announcer asked if Ayumi sang her Utada songs, she said "it's too difficult! those thin and delicate sounds just don't come out." ahaha

nEwly · #11 5th January 2009, 05:45 PM

Thanks for your answers, I am not surprised, that the japanese/asian celebs don't hate Ayu. Ayu is so cute, you can't do not like her^^

Does anyone know what GACKT is thinking/saying about Ayu?
I am very interested in this^^

LacusClyne · #12 6th January 2009, 02:31 AM

Gackt and ayu are friends.

ooh, i used to watch this video of ayu calling Gackt during a show....

I remember reading somewhere that Ayu sent Utada some flowers when she had to have that cyst/tumor or whatever it was removed. I thought that was nice. ^^;;.

Zeke. · #15 9th January 2009, 01:45 AM

I really enjoyed that video of Boa commenting about when she met Ayu. So nice! I remember hearing that radio show after it first aired and I downloaded it and burned it to a CD to listen to one day while cleaning my room, ha ha. Yeah, now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like Hikki really knows too much about Ayu. I guess she's not a "fan". I don't know how you can't be one. Lol. She's got material for everyone.

Lol. I can just see this, Ayu having people to do this sort of thing for her:

Ayu-chan: "Hikaru-chan is in the hospital? Send her flowers immediately."
Staff: "Yes Miss Ayu!! How many would you like to send?"
Ayu-chan: "Whatever they have in stock."
Staff: "Oh! Hai!"

Polyrhythm · #16 6th January 2009, 03:57 PM

I dont remember anything....except seeing on youtube when BoA said something about how Ayu bowed to her and she thought that was nice????@_@ weird....and then Hikki said something like "shes so cute" in some radio interview...oh yeah...and then theres that time....I dunno what Koda Kumi was thinking....theres this one YT vid where...ayu goes to the premiere of Mr. and Mrs. Smith or something like that....and then Ayu goes to sit down...and Kumi just sorta stares at Ayu with wide eyes...like "talk to me!"....but then Ayu just sits down. @_@ Thats all I remember

She gave a lil bow to Ayu for greetings and Ayu gave this gigantic bow back to her. She said she felt honored that Japan's biggest music star was so polite to someone that had not even made a debut yet.

I remember that Hikki interview. It was so nice of Hikki to say that, but it was so rude and stupid of that fan to ask Hikki of when Ayu would make her U.S. debut lol.

maikaru · #18 8th January 2009, 03:57 AM

You know today on Mixi group, this very conversation was revived.
I saw many names, and many proofs about it.
Like most of the Johnny's Groups, KAT-TUN (Akanishi Jin and Kamenashi Kazuya especially), NewS (especially YamaPi), Arashi members.
Also EXILE (especially Hiro, Ayu said once in an interview "I am very glad to have met Hiro so long ago.")
And there's a story of them dancing to Trauma. ahaha like the dance of Trauma.
Also the members of winds, Porno Graffitti, and the Southern All Star's gutarist guy.
There are so many names, and places where they have said "I like Ayu"
I felt really proud of it~

And of course in that same topic, Koda Kumi vs. Hamasaki Ayumi came again,
Many saying "Koda insults Ayu" and then "Ayu neglects Kumi" etc.
So annoying

Also, many net celebrities have posted photos of them going to PCDL.
