Kalen running and crying makes the whole drama worth watching already.

Anyone else find it odd that Masa has a iMac G3 on his desk but they weren't released until August 1998? Yet the drama seems to be leading up to Ayu's debut in April 1998.

The drama doesn't seem to be following what was happening in real life like ayu already having 2001 short blonde hair during predebut era

One of my friends pointed this out to me the moment he saw it too. xD I would have never noticed haha. I knew they came out in the late 90s but that’s it.

I think it’s funny how Ayu’s aunt is the only one that looks 90s ish. Everyone else is void of basically any aspect of 90s fashion lol.

the biggest reason why I feel very uneasy with this kinda storyline is that I have always thought ayu more self-made and doing things her way rather than being just a puppet in a men's world. Yeah she didn't go to avex and ask them to do stuff for her from the beginning but this is a little too much imho. and this is my own opinion and why I feel uneasy with this. as you all said already, you don't agree with my thoughts and I appreciate it but personally I wish they didn't portrait her as needy and puppet-like as she looks like in my eyes here. I really hope that changes when this series goes on
From what I understand -I may be wrong- in later scenes when ayu is seen with her secretary (?) she might be with more control over her career. So let's wait to see what happens ;)

Yeah I've seen that when she debuted people thought she was dumb because of how she spoke and behaved lol

But the facebook page AyuTrollada_Oficial posted yesterday a bit of the Ayumi Hamasaki Special VHS that was released in 1995 when Ayu was an idol. You can see Ayu speak about wanting to help people through her celebrity.
HERE

I don't understand japanese at all, but she sounds far from stupid here, and she was only 16 years old at the time. That's crazy.
Also, she was such a beauty.

This version of "EZ DO DANCE" has a existence long long time ago.
https://youtu.be/3Z13EK7tkis

EDIT: And originally for these compilation albums for 90's avex covers. Yup, avex recycling to use in the dorama.

Adding to @attractive nausea's post, here's the whole 40 minutes long video of the Ayumi Hamasaki Special, in case anyone feels like checking it out.

There are some really funny & cute moments in there.




Also I was wondering, is it a general thing not to film the whole drama before it airs?

@Katsuyuki012
This was the video I had in mind when saying she was acting dumb early on during her avex career.
She seems really natural here. I don't understand a bit but she has definitely personality. Far from the passive and annoying yes girl they seem to portray in the drama. And... what a beauty already. Amazing features.

So while she speaks relatively slowly in this video (I've seen it several times before over the years) and she does still have a silted cadence, she sounds more mature and natural than she did a couple of years later in Avex and doesn't speak in a super nasally tone and speak at an absolute snails pace.

Granted, this is still a video trying to sell her as an idol, so I'm sure there was at least a little bit of a cute act going on here.

OMG She can ride a bike. AND Wasn’t she the one hating liars the most? Lol
Thanks for the video, I saw parts of it like 10 years ago. Can’t believe I actually learned Japanese and can understand now. Feeling proud.

Katsuyuki012 8th May 2020 07:26 PM
She also lied about the bikini thing (I think it was mentioned on forum not too long ago), haha.
But well, we know how ayu feels about that time in her life.
