That's how it is when you're famous. You can pretend to be a college student having fun your entire career .

What do you expect? She is 28. I hope you don't expect someone that's like near 30's to look like a 15 year old...

She's not young

[~*Mabushii*~]

28 IS young people.. she's not 48.. THAT'S old.. my goodness.. she hasnt even reached 35 yet and people are saying (omfgbbq ayu iz olllllllddddd!!1!1!1)
she's still "young" she is matured yes.. but still stunningly beautiful

[Eu-Kun]

i think she gained more weight this time :x but i love the hair.. its like her hair in her surreal times

[LacusClyne]

i had no objection of ayu looking more mature. she's 28 years old after all. it will be weird if she wears a school unform...

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

It's only a one off thing

[Kikaru]

She's a woman nearing her thirties...she's not going to young forever. If she looked like she was during the AsfXX era then I would have some serious questioning to do.

You can tell when people start to age, especially entertainers, who actually start to age earlier because of the makeup they put on their skin. If you watch Friends, especially watch Jennifer Aniston (whose age is in par with her character's), she'll begin to show aging around 5th-6th season.

Old? No. She still looks youngish. Just more mature - not like some 15 year old anymore.

i have to agree that ayu looked mroe mature.. but i also have to agree that she did not look THAT gorgeous in the JEWEL performance. everything went wrong. her hairstyle and dress and larger arms.. not trying to say that her hairstyle and dress sucked. but they jus didnt make ayu look prettier..

[alt.total-loser]

^ True on that. She didn't look as pretty as usual.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

I prefer when she looked like a 16 year old.

[truehappiness]

Honestly, I think she looks good here.
Back when she had this hair / look before, she looked the sameish..

I do sort of want her to have longer, straighter hair though

[paperbag]

^ I want her hair from the Startin' vid. Long, brown and straight

[emi♡]

I actually think, that at the MS performance, she looks a bit younger...I mean, yes, things about her have matured, but, when I saw her...it reminded me of how she looked back in 2003 at the performance of Voyage where she forgot her lyrics...she looks...almost...identical, except, now, her look is more..."tan"? Her skin and hair are both better colors...lol...perhaps it's the way they did her eyeliner...there seems to be...less of it...

I like her look...really does remind me of 2003 era...with the bangs and curls...

[truehappiness]

It's more 2000ish when she did SURREAL imo~

[paperbag]

^ The second picture is almost identical to Ayu now! Crazy

yeah, better example. What I was thinking of when I referred to her looking younger, was that...Ayu seemingly hasn't really changed to me...everytime I think she looks older, she jumps back to her "old" self.

For me, her eyes always have a big part in the way she looks too...in these pictures, they seem spot on to now.

[cybermoomba]

ayu looks like a 100 year old grandma

*rolls eyes*
