She would look like she was prematurely aging or something sometimes back then. But I guess she has spoken about body image issues in a more recent interview and how she wasn't eatong and what not. So I'm sure a poor diet also affected the way she looked.


She just has looked so great for the past couple of years. And there are times when she takes photos that eventually go on twitter where I think they're old pictures from the past, which is nice.

If she got work done, I don't know. I just think ayu's gotten botox and is a makeup queen.

When I read that interview it finally made sense. I always thought she looked oddly aged and tired a lot of the time throughout that period and knowing it was due to her not eating in order to project a certain image felt like... "Aha!". It's great that she's left the state of mind she was in, though. For as cute as she looked, she lso looked extremely weak sometimes.

Ayu has gotten work done specially if you compare her face every year to the years before. I know that hair, diet and make up contributes to how a person looks but still who is she mystique. Don't think so.

I think ayu looks great. Like what a lot of people have already said, I think she looks happier than she has in ages and it shows in her look. She is also eating more healthy too but you cant also compare an 8 year old photoshopped photo with a on stage shot. She also has good shots from that performance. I think its just a mixture of lighting and not a good angle but she will start looking older, but she looks really good for her age. Some comments make out shes aged 20 years . Without makeup I think she looks younger

I don't think she necessarily looks different. Actually, I think in the cover art for "sixxxxxx", she looks quite similar to how she did on the "Days/ GREEN" cover... But that's just me.

Maybe is her new hairstyle that makes her look different

why the heck not? As long as it doesn't affect your health or whatever then why not?

Actually...

... in these pics, I think she looks much more like her younger self from like '00 or '01 (ish)

[Delicious n Bold]

She's a chameleon tbh
Queen of many looks

[oaristos]

I think she looks great, besides gaining a little bit of weight her hair and makeup have also been on point lately. And I never think about her having plastic surgery because I don't care--that's her decision if she wants to get some procedures done of not. I'm here for the music.

Like people really think that you go to a surgeon like in a supermarket ?? I don't deny the fact that she might have some work done like some injections here and there and I know that she had her teeth fixed since the end of 2005 etc... but more I look to her pictures with no make-up the more I think she did nothing major even her eyelids seems not debrided but just glued manually !
I think the way she is make-up is definitely what make her look different from a picture to another and her ugly lenses don't help if you ask me !!


Different really ?? more like someone who aged and has more "expression wrinkles" because she is not in her twenties anymore but nearest forties...

To me she looks better than ever, youthful, healthy and glowing! Her age is showing but she's really ageing gracefully. I seriously don't know what you people are talking about lol I don't think she ever looked that good.

let me just note one thing
apparently korean beauty trends are actually coming into japan. Did dyou notice how she no longer has heavy make-up on? Like in the a-nation her skin was all glowy. Apparently the matt face is out of fashion these days in Japan, and girls go for a more dewy skin, the healthy glow. And i think make-up is really very responsible for her look these days.

Uh isn't this a photo of her mother? she posted it on Twitter with a happy birthday tweet dedicated to her mother.

I think that this sums it up.

[ExodusUK]

Keep in mind she's probably in the process of getting new veneers (the missing tooth we spotted in August..) as they need to be replaced every 10-12 years, she's probably due a new set and they can dramatically change the appearance of your face.

I personally hate how fake her teeth/smile look.

[Delirium-Zer0]

Every day I thank my lucky stars I didn't remember to wear my retainer after I got my braces off, lol... the straightness of my teeth as a teenager was really creepy, and the natural crookedness they've sorta gotten back since then is actually kinda cute

But yeah, like... There's something about her face when she smiles now where she looks like she has a mask on. I think it's how the wrinkles are on either side of her mouth - it's bunching up a bit differently, which makes it seem as though botox or some other kind of filler is happening.

Do I think this is a bad thing, do I judge her for it? Hell no. Most of her smiles still light up her whole face & look very natural, and she looks genuinely happy when she laughs hysterically or has a giggle fit. And I truthfully don't know a single woman who hasn't had some sort of procedure done for beautification purposes - from laser hair removal to collagen lip fills to botox injections to breast augmentation or reduction, I know women who've had all kinds of procedures done that weren't medically necessary... but that didn't change the fact that they were awesome women regardless.

The fact is, there is a ton of pressure on us to look a certain way. We can scream until the cows come home that it SHOULDN'T be that way, but that is the way it is, so I find it hard to judge any woman for a procedure she might get done - especially since the women I know who've had these things done are all fantastic, strong, and hard-working artists, mothers, friends, and managers. It's DEFINITELY sad that a working mother who manages a department at a fortune 500 company should feel insecure about something as trivial as a wrinkle on her brow line or an uneven chest, but if she can afford to get it fixed, why shouldn't she?

I imagine Ayu has had some fillers or Botox but I also think that she looks very different without a fringe in the A-nation photos.

I also managed to 'lose' my retainer and my teeth have stayed pretty straight (have a permanent wire on the front four teeth) but I've got a little fang/snaggletooth come back. Think I'm lucky as there are people in Asia that pay for that! Unfortunately I've got to have braces back on and I don't think I can ask my orthodonist to keep my fang snaggled!
