I wanted to share the way I watch Ayu's classic winter MVs since last year. I love Christmas, so in 2021, I decided to decorate nearly every room in my home for the holidays, almost all of which differed in "spirit" from one another. This a clip taken in my bedroom, for which its "Spirit of Christmas" I captured as "The North Pole". Watching Ayu's music video for JEWEL in this room was truly something to behold.



I made a Powerpoint presentation to simulate the total experience for my workers; for anyone that's interested, see the spoiler

Oh my god, this is fabulous! It's like Ayu's team set it up. :love

Ayu Nonfiction multiverse :love

LOOOOL I'd love to attend this kind of event haha

loved how Yocchan played air guitar

is ayu's boyfriend/alledged father of her kids still in the troupe?
I am not too familiar with her dancers but I haven't seen or read anything about him in a hot minute.

I don't pay much attention to them either outside of my faves lol

It's rumoured to be PEY and he was one of the answers on the TeamAyu MASK Quiz....so I assume he's still in the Troupe :P

Finally watched the 24th Tour Special. Loved it! I appreciated how all the dancers and background singers had old tour t shirts on during the encore. So cute. This tour felt extremely heartfelt after coming back after so long after not performing for an audience.

I found this interview from 2003 with Akiko Wada. I wish I could understand what they are talking about

Omg I miss the chaos of the Japanese tv shows from the 2000s.
Great clip, thank you!

Hey, hey!

I went to Oricon to see if any sign of Remember You was up, and under digital album streaming sales, I found A Complete is still in the top 30 almost every week! It's between 20 and 30 through January (so far) and every week in December. :love

It falls off after awhile and will again, but it always comes back. It hasn't been off for long in years.

^ On Recochoku, she even managed to rank a 22 years old album for december 2022 :
https://recochoku.jp/ranking/album/monthly

#74 A COMPLETE (2008)
#189 A BEST (2001)

A BEST and A COMPLETE are the real 23rd Monsters lol

i was looking for something on Youtube but instead I came across this! The short movie they did for 'voyage": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucQ3QhXZhuo

I have never seen it. Ayu is actually pretty good in this.

I always thought she is a good actress and I always wanted to see her in a feature project with a good director.

is there any Sped up songs for ayu?
or AI cover song using ayu's voice?

Ayu will sing at CDTV special next Monday.

somebody, please add a new thread about her first press-conference as a brand ambassador since 2015!!

^ I agree, she's been quite active these days and there's no threads covering what she's been up to lately!

What theme did we miss?

All her 135 music videos have English subtitles with official translations now.
