To be completely honest, I originally posted that Ayu in that dress reminds me of one of those moms that dresses up for everything, as though it hasn't registered that she's not 22 anymore. I'm paraphrasing, but I think everyone is honestly talking like they recognize a difference between comments like "XX looks like a f#&÷ beached whale in that dress" and "XX looks like a mom trying hard look young". There's brash delivery and then there's drawing a hypothetical comparison to something. I don't think any of you actually understand the nuance as much as you keep claiming you do. Your actions say the complete opposite every time someone posts something you don't like. I'd be the only person agreeing with me if other people weren't clearly seeing you guys further blur the line between something you think is an insult and something you think is an opinion.

And we've been all over this andrenekoi, but the plain fact remains that you're entitled to call someone's opinion annoying, you're just not entitled to start or contribute to an entire discussion being turned into post after post criticizing someone. That's bullying. And you guys seriously need to learn that these things aren't justifiable because you believe you're doing it for a good reason. It still makes you a bully, and at the very least an enabler. Using my example from before, would you do this to someone sitting at a table with you in public? Would you really find it appropriate to start a roundtable discussion about how much one person at the table should just leave? I doubt you would even not try to speak up for the person being talked to like that.

Again, it's totally cool to pop back with "opinions like yours are annoying because XYZ." But you guys take this rapidly to some major extremes that don't even make sense. You assume all I ever post are criticisms? I've got hundreds of posts on AHS. You need to read every single one of them before you assert lies in order to defend your poor behavior. I wouldn't even estimate 5% of my total posts are criticisms. This behavior and the grasping at straws to explain it are annoying. I wouldn't be surprised if you guys started digging up word usage from the Middle Ages to defend yourself. You guys make vague black-or-white claims about someone you disagree with in order to leverage others' volatility to help push someone out of a space you want to control by your idea of our collective interests without listening to us to make sure you're not just projecting your interests as everyone's interests.

I want you guys to be here and feel like we all want you to be here. But really, make that meaningful. You're sharing a space with A LOT of different people and personalities. The way you see things isn't the right way; it's not even a bronze medal winner. It's just how you do you. Respect others doing themselves. Tons of people find you just as annoying as you find other people, both online and throughout your life. All you can control is how you process and choose to respond, as well as how to respond to it.

You don't get to define what Ayu is to me. You don't get to wrap my years of being here in your oversimplification of what you think I contribute based on the handful of times I've posted since January 1. You weren't sitting in that room with me when MIJ was released and I had to face the reality that years of thinking she'd find at least part of her spark again were spent in vain. And to be honest, it's pretty damn disrespectful for anyone to show up on this forum and speak for Ayu's impact on someone else. It's not your place, no matter how much your experience might conflict with theirs where they overlap in Ayu's timeline.

Honey, "people" isn't an euphemism for orbitalaspect, it either mean I don't remember who said so or that is someone I blocked. When I disagree with you I point it out directly to you. I disagree with you, a lot, but I never though you isn't much of a fan.

There are people that I never actually saw praising anything she did for the past 10 years or so, or that really make harsh judgements about her character, and you are neither.

Now, people should stop throwing the word "bullying" around. For it to be bullying it must come from someone on a different power position than yours, so, it should be either a mod or a large group of people. I don't see much people jumping on my train over here most of the time nor do I have any power of anything more than a regular user. Heck, I don't even know the mods.

wow and here's me thinking we had something special smh
All jokes aside, if this is dissolving into a user versus user debate, take it to PMs. Thanks!

New Ayu photo is adorable. But yeah, looks like she suddenly dropped a ton of weight - she looked much curvier at Tokyo Pride.

I always get a little bothered about those outfits that makes the boobs look larger than the bottom side of the body. @_@

@Koumori
LOL xD

I mean, we really don't interact out of the forum or even by PMs

RealLight · #**385** 11th July 2018, 05:13 PM

Well, since everyone felt more engaged in starting drama, which is pretty much what defines AHS lately, and gave me dust, I'm gonna ask again:

I wonder if they talked about any album details!

Any idea of when it's going to air?

xLuna&1LOVE · #**386** 11th July 2018, 06:10 PM

^ No, we have no idea.

Evan Odinson · #**387** 11th July 2018, 06:13 PM

She looks stunning!

She looks cute, I like her hair and outfit except the shoes once again. AHS may not agree on everything but I think most of us can agree she has some questionable choices in footwear.
Her pose is also cutely awkward I love it lol like what is she doing with her hand?

I can't really say I notice a big weight difference but her legs do look slightly slimmer here.

truehappiness · #**389** 11th July 2018, 07:34 PM

It's likely the angle and some app wizardry with the 'thin look' here but this outfit is real nice. She hasn't has a pink look like this in a while.

xLuna&1LOVE · #**390** 11th July 2018, 07:43 PM

On Wedsnesdays, we wear pink!

Me too! I got into nail art mainly inspired by a lot of her older nail designs.

voltron · #**395** 11th July 2018, 08:55 PM

I really miss those over-the-top nail styles too - Bancho really was the best. Minazo did a good job, but it was always like a B-version of anything Bancho could do. I wonder if she still works with Minazo, or who does her nails now (if one person in particular)?

ayumi_croatia · #**396** 11th July 2018, 09:02 PM

I like her outfits 99 times out of 100...but her shoes? Almost never

Nowadays she gets them done at esNail and sometimes has someone from there as a personal nailist, I think. Been that way for years now.

I miss the crazy nail art in Japan too. The fashion keeps getting more and more toned down over there.

Refix · #**399** 12th July 2018, 12:20 AM

Missed the square nails, these pointy kinda boring... and dangerous lol
Not a fan of that dress but I dig that heels, it's casual with a tiny bit of cheeky. Which fit with the dress and occasion.

Her name is YUI, she works under Aiko who is the owner of esNail. I think Ayu started working with Aiko around 2012 starting with the heart nail art.

Here is Yui’s Instagram
