Recent Ayu's Look = 'Older' ?

se7entheaven · #1 14th October 2006, 01:41 PM

I saw ayu and koda together at MSS 13/10 just now..and I think that this time..I have to admit saying that ayu looked older than she is..I mean...her hair is actually wasn't "arranged" well by her stylist
comparing to Kuu chan (not starting to make an arguments/artist bashing here)...ayu look quite bad...I prefer her style in a-nation '06, what do u think guys? it's just my opinion...it's better for her to try staright hair of the nicest "I am..." era hairstyle

I really liked the style of the MS episode, so simple, although the dress she had while singing wasn't too complementing, but she seems to like them a lot as she has wore things like that at several occassions.

While Ayu definately does not look old she is gaining age, so it's just natural if we think she looks older now than 8 years ago.

No human stays young forever. She still looks perfectly fresh and young to me, more mature than 8 years ago, of course.

After her 30's I think we'll start noticing real changes.

Well I have to agree with you on the fact you stated she doesn't look like she's been done over by a stylist. Alot of women I see tend to turn like that when they get older...

Her style was not bad in that live, i don't think she seems older. But, of course she is not so young now^^ as immel says people can't stay young forever

Maybe it's all part of the "I'm now entering into the phase of life in which I am a mature woman and that my early 20s are now over" promo gimmick like BoA. Nevertheless, I think Ayu still looks young! She's still really pretty and I think she looks even better now than when she was young. Really beautiful and charming.

Her hair could've been better but it was still nice. I liked the dress alot although it brought some not-so-cool things up in my opinion..

Not so cool things?

Well.. to me it looks like all the fat talk etc. are because of the dress..

is it too small or something but it gives you a feeling that she's fat (around the arms see?).. which is nonsense...

immel · #9 14th October 2006, 02:41 PM

Nonsense indeed, but I do think that the dress, which I don't find too complementing even if it's nice looking, does make her look a little chubbier. I don't see how the hair adds to it though.

Her face can also, which is proved a lot in the past, look very different depending on what make up she is wearing ... just a note for those who claim that her face looks wider. Faces don't grow wider just like that

ayu1m · #10 14th October 2006, 02:44 PM

^heh, good point. I think her face looks just the same, cute

The hair is nice, kinda simple but I like but around the arms it would seem that the dress is killing or something.. or it's just me

Curly hair excentuates a bigger face, in my opinion.

immel · #12 14th October 2006, 02:47 PM

Maybe ... in front of a trend setter I don't really have any say

.

Anyway, I think one of the periods when her face looked the wides was when she had short blond hair, much thanks to the way she often had her makeup done ... evolution era.

Also, in AT05 encore, I think her face looks pretty wide.

From what I can tell, she's not dressing like a mature woman. She's still dressing like a 20-something college student. All of her clothes are fun.

It's only that horrible dress in MS! Even style gurus have their "off" moments.

ayu1m · #14 14th October 2006, 04:20 PM

I think the dress itself is very beautiful

elepop · #15 14th October 2006, 04:49 PM

Well, first. Of course, Ayu looks older than Kuu. She's older than her! (Though, Ai Otsuka is older than Kuu but looks younger.)

I loved her hair and her style. It makes her look "cuter". The a-nation '06 look made her look "sexier". I do agree, she should try straight hair. So much better.

mishidabo · #16 14th October 2006, 04:55 PM

yup shes older and fatter ^^

it wouldnt matter if she released some good music.. but she ... bleh

*waits for being bashed "

tokyoxjapanxfan · #17 14th October 2006, 05:00 PM

well the dress she wore and the hair and make up was all very mature. she was natural and beautiful. i really liked her look

extepan · #18 14th October 2006, 05:21 PM

it is just more mature, not older.

nodoka · #19 14th October 2006, 05:21 PM

Yeah, I think that she is looking older. Which also might hint onto the weight thing that's being discussed as well. Slower metabolism...

This is the first time she's chosen this hairstyle in a long time, ne? It's so rare for Ayu to go back to an old hairstyle, and this is just so similar to ye days of olde. It gives me the same feeling I get when I listen to her masterfully resing old songs. Hopes well up in my heart, and sure enough, she does not disappoint. Kickass.
