she is 34 years old not 20 it's normal she look tired (in addition to the jet lag) ! but I find her very beautiful

saigodansu · #**242** 13th November 2012, 04:34 PM

Besides, most 20 year olds don't look that beautiful while wide awake.

that staff is really sweet!!! and ayu too

TeamAyu2004 · #**244** 13th November 2012, 05:23 PM

Old?!
Haggard?!
You must be blind, either that or your definition of beauty is defined with photoshop...
She looks great.

So this morning we still had no real clue so I went to buy some second hand Jpop CDs from Bookoff to lift my spirit (had Ayu's COMPLETE LIVE BOX, Duty and A and some Namie Amuro singles). On my way I saw a shooting crew with some guys dressed as punk so I thought it could be for Ayu... but a crewman told me it was for some american series with Jean Reno or whatever (didn't care, I was just very disappointed lol).

So anyway, as soon as I see she might be at the Shangri-La, I jump in the metro after a quick check on where the hotel is. When I arrive I see another girl waiting but I didn't really know if she was here for Ayu or not. And just when I was about to go ask her, literally 2 minutes after I arrived at the hotel... Ayu comes out. It took me a few seconds to realise what was happening honestly XD She was with 2 or 3 people from her staff and Maro (I'm 90% sure it was him but I didn't really pay attention either :p) and she quickly went into the car waiting for her.

We were right beside it with the other girl (it was quite clear she was a fan too by then !) and we were a little jumpy because she went so quickly in the car... But then a guy from her staff asked us if we wanted to take picture and she pulled down the window and... voilà :

(The guy from her staff took 2 pics "just in case" <3)
(you can see Maro's hair inside the car)

So I was very lucky : didn't wait at all, saw her, and got my train on time ^^ I also gave the other fan my COMPLETE LIVE BOX so she can get me an autograph later this week because Ayu looked quite busy, she was already in the car and so on so I didn't dare to ask for one. Anyway I'm sooooo really happy right now, it's the first time I see Ayu irl and she is as nice with her fans as she looks ^^

wow! you are so lucky!! I mean really really really lucky!!!! cnogrates! thats so surreal!

Yes I agree that she looks older in the first pic which shes standing in front of the hotel! but then maybe yeah shes just tired and maybe the hair color didnt help much,i would prefer a more subtle color or just darker color

else she looked great and cute in the car!!

aannnnd im trying my best to go to Paris this weekend!!!

Leaf King · #**246** 13th November 2012, 05:45 PM

She looks tired but good nonetheless. Her eyes, especially.

Zeke. · #**247** 13th November 2012, 05:49 PM

Wow yeah she does look old - you would never guess by LOVE's photos that they were shot only a few weeks ago!

But, she always has such "tight" skin near her nose when she smiles in fan-photos. They must photoshop those pretty well in official shots. Maybe that's why she doesn't smile often in photos?

AyuWorld · #**248** 13th November 2012, 05:54 PM

true! I cant believe what I saw in Numéro Tokyo and LOVE cover! how different is that form those pics!

by the way why the other guy in the car looked like her keyboardist Miyazaki Yusuke? xD
and wheres Stan-chan?

saigodansu · #**249** 13th November 2012, 05:57 PM

Stan hasn't been around since NY in 2011, neither has Minazo.

Suteisi · #**250** 13th November 2012, 06:02 PM

She's 34 and workaholic, what do you expect ? XD

ExodusUK · #**251** 13th November 2012, 06:04 PM

In official photos you never see the skin crease around her nose, it's true

saigodansu · #**252** 13th November 2012, 06:15 PM

She actually has the skin of a normal human being, go figure. That doesn't mean she looks old.

TeamAyu2004 · #**253** 13th November 2012, 06:16 PM

thats because they photoshop EVERYTHING..

you should of seen that before and after shot of that supermodel that was on sports illustrated. they stuff they get rid of to fit societies rule of beautiful... its amazing.

LNette · #**254** 13th November 2012, 06:17 PM

Well she looked really good irl, I can say that

(I mean everyone looks a little weird on un-retouched photos, I won't even start on that weird face I have on those pics XD)

I didn't recognize that other guy, I guess he's somebody from her staff. There was just him, Maro and the one that took the photos with Ayu, Stan wasn't there. I was quite surprise at how few people were with her, we even discussed it with the other fan. I guess when she's abroad on "holidays" she doesn't need that much security people and everything. I mean in Paris, apart from Ayu fans and the asian community, who would recognize her ? And it's not like that is a lot of people...

Absolutely! People should not indulge their illusion. Women without professional lighting and computer technique look rarely better than Ayu does and in all honesty her appearance indeed is just as stunning as always.

saigodansu · #**256** 13th November 2012, 06:38 PM

And about the being on holiday, she still has more staff on the way there, they're still working, same as always. AGAIN may be finished, who knows, but she has a calendar, magazines, CMs and whatever release is scheduled for January to work on, because December, usually starting by the 3rd will be all about CDL and Kouhaku.

happiholic★ · #**257** 13th November 2012, 06:46 PM

Did anyone else notice in the large photo that her eyelid, the one that looks like the right in the photo, is smaller than her left one. It almost looks like a mono-lid. Proof that she's never done anything surgically to her eyes?

Also, I don't think she looks haggard. I think people are so used to what she looks like after photoshop. She just looks her age, imo.

It always looked like this, even on pics when she was still a child. Her left eye is slightly smaller than the right one.

Just a random picture for instance:
