Sorry guys, this is the last time that I go off topic.
Spoiler:

I so disagree with every little thing you just said there... You seem to be annoyed with me because I basically didn't responded towards your 1st post which was meant for me. Well, It's just that you made a very umm. how to put this, ... STUPID IGNORANT statement about western people what made me realize that you are far from reasonable. And calling a loose thought stupid proves to me how reasonable you really are.

Now, you come with this explanation where it seems that you think that I'm someone who doesn't knows the rules.

About the "untouchable" part; You have no idea how wrong you are on that. You should question whether it's me or you pretending to behave that way.

About me "turning the subject" this is also false, I found it worth to note that ayu uses an different vocal technique when singing songs like Mirrorcle World. What?! Do you want me to talk about the effects she has applied to her voice the whole time?? It's not like I completely went to another topic, + I even continued talking about it, so I really don't see what's your burden.
I always stand behind what I say, unless someone can proves that I am wrong, and that did not happen, so therefor no reason to drop a subject.

For your information, Whoever says anything in this forum can do it based on their thoughts, knowledge etc etc. Why would I have to prove something, and especially towards a person that says it like this: "Where is your proof?", what do you think that this is? CSI, NCIS or whatever?

I don't believe in this, as we can see here

Seiko Matsuda looks stunning with long hair, even though she's much older than ayu :)

I prefer Ayu with long hair too...Sometimes she doesn't do the right style though.

I guess from like, that style she had up there...that's like, that typical magazine young girl with long hair style...so maybe for older women it looks kinda silly?

Maybe thats what they mean by it...idk lol

chu-lips 27th October 2011 07:25 AM

if i remember correctly ayu herself ever explain it that she's now more comfortable with mature looks make up...

truehappiness 27th October 2011 07:27 AM

She said she might go for dark hair soon so hopefully that is REAL soon.

I think her makeup changed and all that because the guy who was her hair-make person (Keizo Kuroda) left and was replaced. If you see other artists who have an "Ayu look" to them, they probably are using her old staff members. It's happened a few times, lol.

Lol, no. CDL 04-05 DVD was the first ever performance I saw from Ayu and I was so touched. AT05 was DVD obviously and when I watched CDL 05-06 (TV version) I hated it. I don't think it was the vocals though - it was just the energy didn't seem as "hyped" as CDL 04-05. It was quite boring IMO.

I think Ayu's looks have improved majorly over the years. She was a little too scraggly and alien looking back in the I am... era. Still cute, but sometimes her skin was a little too tight and sometimes she looked a bit cross-eyed. I think her true beauty started in 04. She looked amazing with long hair up until she cut it all off. If anything, I think short hair AGES Ayu and makes her looks worse (especially this current cut). But I will say her hair during the GUILTY era was fan-effing-tastic. CDL 07-08 for the WIN!

Kanzaki 27th October 2011 08:17 AM

Dark hair era coming soon, yesss! She looks GORGEOUS in dark brown hair.

truehappiness 27th October 2011 08:24 AM

CDL05-06 is probably the golden gem of all CDLs for most fans I think. She looked hot, she sounded great in the DVD, epic performances... etc. She was at the top of her game in 2005/2006 when it came to tours/style.

And the dark hair thing came from an interview she just did [translated by Misa-chan]:

Q61. Do you plan to change your hairstyle soon?
A. When it becomes a little longer, I may stop being blonde and go for dark hair.

If you remember a Japanese man with his stomach showing in off my way / on my way, that is him. He was also in a lot of making-ofs like you said.

I'm surprised you guys like her makeup there, she looks pale and sick.

So true, haha.

You know what's really offensive in Japan? walking and eating at the same time. It's just not done, it's really rude. So is pointing. But you can bet I do both when I'm anywhere else, but I'll never do it in Japan. So it's just different cultures, and people should respect that. :yes

MissElin_ 27th October 2011 10:49 AM

^Haha yeah. But yet they still point at you when you come walking on the streets. "GAIJIN!" xD Also, they stare like maniacs.
They also used to paint married womens teeth black (so everyone would know that she was "taken") until the late 1900th century before the western cultures taught them it was kind of freaky. Funny culture thingy.

Anyway...

I for one loved her ST'02/RAINBOW PV hair style. It was so simple yet very nice looking. She would probably loose some age with that hair style instead of gaining age like with her current hair style. She did good in short hair before, I'm not loving it anymore though.

But OMG yes, longer darker hair! :heart
She actually had very lovely hair during CDL 09-10. It was kind of a mix between ST'02 and (m)u era. :heart

Earth_maiden 27th October 2011 11:11 AM

^ I pointed at a few things in Shibuya and got some death glares from a few Japanese. XD But most of them stared at me anyway, because I acted like a total GAIJIN in every sense of the word. XD

YES, I loved her cdl09/10 hair!! I'd really hoped she'd keep that hair for the rest of 2010, and then she cut it again, and I had a big sad. :(

Maybe people do find it funny or whatever, but I definitely don't.

But if you think that, then you are being very ethnocentric. As I already stated, using your middle finger in Japan has no negative connotation to it. All cultures are different. I teach at elementary school in Tokyo and have seen kids gesture with their middle fingers that could be construed in America as flipping someone the bird, but do the teachers here get upset about it? No of course not because it is not something derogatory in the culture of Japan - they may as well be using their index finger.

I once did a 'thumbs down' sign in class and the students practically lost their minds. "Ohhh you can't do that! That's very bad!!" - in Japan a thumbs down means basically to tell someone to die. If Shu-ya had done that in the concert, then you would see a controversy.

I guess all the people in Japan should stop flashing inward facing peace signs in photos because that could be considered offensive in England. :roll eyes

For a board that is dedicated to the music of a foreign country, there are sure some closed minded people about cultural differences on this board....

Edit: And now I realize that this subject got squashed about a page back. :)

Andrenekoi 27th October 2011 12:39 PM

^Or should we stop all the kissing in public cuz in Japan is rude to kiss someone in public? :P

inspire_rmx 27th October 2011 01:33 PM
