I agree.

I always like her with her blond hair because it's very "Ayu", although the Step You/Is This Love hair was gorgeous too!

I loved her hair from Is This Love, I would love to see that hair style again it was very different for her.

Its asia, they use the cross because it looks cool and give a feel about it, more for looks. Nothing christan about its use

I dont think ayu looks fat, despite this topic coming up each year, I think its more her height and when she put little bit of weight on, she looks fuller, but just because shes doesn't rival a stick, doesn't mean shes fat. Ayu always goes up and down from super trim ayu to this. Lady Gaga can be classed as getting fat but ayus just a little weight, no more and no less than whats usually happens

That pic is photoshoped though, she wasn't that fat. :P

I don't think it ever was photoshopped though. There were a few of her looking hefty. Gaga even wrote something on how she was going to begin the process of losing weight soon after that photo surfaced, and now she's back in shape.

I wonder who came up with the idea that being blonde make people look younger... I see many Asian artists saying that, but I always think they look younger with darker hair colors. In Ayu's case, imo the time she looked older (not really 'old', just older) was 2011 with the very short blonde hair.

^ i think you look younger with your natural hair color. Personally for me i had black hair and everyone said it put few years to me. for some reason blond hair = grey hair to me xD it's very close so i always thought it makes people older rather than younger xD

It really depends, I guess? I look older younger when I dye my hair black. I'm blonde (on the lighter side) and I have to dye it a couple of shades lighter because it washes me out.
...

I don't think men could truly understand the pressure women face. Men face the same issues, but not to the same extent that women do. Plus, being a man is a privilege in itself. Although, at the end of the day it's not really a competition.
...

I think her body looks good either way: with a bit of weight or without. It's just that her face bloats up a lot when she gains a wee bit of weight.

I'd be a woman IF ONLY FOR THE FASHION!!!

So, the setlist from DVD is out and SAKURA is not included, as we imagined before. :(

Tracklist's okay, I like it, but it's absolutely not anniversary worthy. At this point the only special thing well done we had to celebrate this 15 years is the Tell All pamphlet, everything else is what she would have done anyway (new album, DVD tour with booklet, etc.) or a mess. I would have been perfectly fine with a digital single of Tell All, and a PV for celebrating, clean and simple.
I can't wait to hear her vocals anyway, since almost everybody said she did so well!

So they decided to include 2 tracks she lip synced to. Niiice. Love the rest of the track list though. Thanks for the info.

can you preorder the live CD yet? I was unable to find it anywhere.

nvm- found it on amazon.co.jp.

how about YA and CDJ?

ever free :love:love:love

It's on CDJapan. I'll be ordering a copy soon.

Well, it's just the studio track.

It says + Bonus footage. Of course I would hope for the other songs performances but I wouldn't count on it :P

yeah I ordered it on amazon along with the SURREAL, Dearest, vogue, evolution, and WHATEVER analogs/vinyls. so exciting~!

I know, but from what we've heard, it has a different arrangement and length, I think, so... :D
