I always hoped she was doing this discreetly without telling the media etc... Let me dream guys!

Not buying this. It looks very nice but that's it........I'm not interested in these kind of collectible things ..

[truehappiness]

This kind of book imo isn't really a 'collectible' like most tour goods. It's actually something people have been asking for her to do for ages now as far as I can recall.

No one should tell her what to do. She also could do billions charities and no one would know about it, maybe she does charity and doesn't like to shove it in people's faces? We know she donated a lot to the victims of tohoku 2011 and she did the breast cancer thing in HK.

It's amusing to see how people are always saying "why don't she do this" "why don't she do that", and now while she released everything they asked for, she got bashed at. Literally, everything that she does now a day always get some kind of complaints lol.

I'm not saying what she did was wrong... Well, all of us knows she's a rich... So showing her LV, Chanel, birkin etc wouldn't surprise us so much... She really should do something more meaningful... Like releasing a book about her travelling diaries, helping the poor, her musical passion etc... Not so much about her and her branded items/high maintainance life.

Bragging about doing charity work is the worst thing imho

It feels like they're doing it just for popularity, whereas charity is a more "do it in your home" thing. It's much more genuine.

I've seen a few articles that say she's been giving her clothes, snacks and stuff to kindergartens in Fukuoka. I'm not sure if thats exactly what people think is charity, but she has done something

this. i would be so keen to read if she releases a book with more words than pictures, about her travel, musical passion, deep thinking of life etc. like prose. but i don't think she has time to write it now (seeing the text in the A Best Live book wasn't written by her)

Personally I would kill for an autobiography !! I have no problem with this book and I don't understand why some people complain ? since the begining this book was made for speak about fashion and other things like that ... She has the time to release another book with a more important topic ^^
The last time she makes a donation publicly people said she does that for attention so I do not see the interest to know more about her charity work ...

Precisely.
If you give permission to journals to spread news of your charitable doing is always in part for publicity. Not a bad thing, but let's say you'll be pleased everyone knows about it (as if this would be a sin).And a lot of people will complain about that. Oh, if 2011 horrible japanese disaster taught me something, the public will complain a lot about her doing it for publicity.

Yes, autobiography would be so wonderful!

Woah, what is that room with the single/album covers and A chairs?!

[tsumekaze_]

AHH can't wait for my book to come!!!!!!!

[mizuki-7]

She seems to really mark her territory with all these A things XD
Her House is amazing btw !

[Earth_maiden]

I hope both books are still available at the end of the year when I go to Japan.

This lifestyle book looks way more promising than "ayu" It would be nicer if it was this one that got all the promo.

That's the main house. I believe it's in Tokyo.

The book introduces Ayu's 3 houses--beach house, main house and LA house. The former two are in Japan I guess
