truth seems to be a closet!

I love the glitter reference, it would be great if she included that song during her tour. She seems so happy on Instagram. :)

By the way...ash green hair? That would be very interesting!

I really wonder how much money she has, i know she's rich as hell but how much exactly? Also i hope she made good investments because her career nowadays musn't really payoff as well as before. Or maybe she has already enough to live a rich lifestyle till her death.
The economics student that I am is curious :laugh

im so ready for new stuff!

ok, now this is just a gross display of wealth. like i know you're rich ayu, but you don't have to show us your $10,000 bottle of wine. :headache

Why not? It's not her fault that we're peasants

Exactly!

Yes, thank you! I just don't understand why people get so riled up about rich people enjoying what they have, especially since she's worked for it!

Exactly. Ayu isn't some spoiled brat who was born into wealth. Whether she was just lucky/talented/pretty enough, she worked her ass off to be where she is.

I'm fine with her showing us her life, even though I could not relate to it like I could to a coworker's life or a friend's.

http://i.imgur.com/1s9ZG9Km.jpg

Lol, you're so right! :yes

She meant "daily", right?

omg YES.

I just made this (altough mine didn´t look that perfect xD) and I must say.
It´s freakin delicious :luv2

It is so weird seeing people using avocado for such recipes, here in Brazil we usually eat it alone as a fruit or in a dessert :laugh

Here ppl mostly know it as Nacho Dip (Guacamole) xD
I like them squezzed with some lemon juice and garlic on baguette 8it also fits fantasic to Brezels^^)
But I also like them just cut in slices^^
But your comments remind me that I have a recipe for an (vegan) avocado cake somewere, need to find and bake it xD

It's so hard to buy good avocado here =(

Here you have to be so careful not to get overripe ones ><

I love avocado, here we eat it with bread, in salads, and there's this recipe where it's half the fruit filled with a mixture of peas, diced carrot, shredded chicken and mayonnaise, it tastes like heaven!!!:luv2

But the avocado in Brazil is something very different from the one they have in the US. They look similar, but I can't imagine people eating it like a fruit or in a dessert here :D

I think the same. I also like having a nose at pics of expensive stuff!

I wasn't sure if she meant daily or dairy with the "Mr Farmer" comment.

grass-fed, now where have we heard that before?... lol

Also dairy workout, cowntdown there is a trend going on here

Happy that the bangs are back! She looks gorgeous!

I like the tone of the hair, and the bangs look much nicer and sophisticated than the way that she sometimes gets them. Longer bangs suit her.

She looks beautiful with messy bun. :yes

That's one expensive ugly-ass watch...

Her hair looks gorgeous. Loved the buns, but I am glas she moved on to a sophisticater look. I get Sweet Scar vibes too, but whatever. It really suits her. I hope she is not going to get ash green hair anymore. Could be interesting, but this is so much nicer.
I am going to look up how they did do that hairstyle on her. I need a new style too.

As for that watch yeah uhm... it looks fun, but wow, I would never pay so much for such thing. The style is too much hocuspocus, abracadabra to me. It didn't look that great in Winter Diary as well, so yeah... well, as long as she is happy with it.

Also thought of Sweet scar here :P Hopefully she's working on a song like it hahahaha

Her hair is cute, that watch not so much. If I didn't know it was worth a lot and it was donated to the thrift store I work at I'd throw it away immediately or price it a quarter lol.

She looks cute in that messy bun <3 also, I really like that watch tbh, I think it's beautiful

I didn't think I was a fan of the watch seeing it in the Winter Diary PV and in the up-close pic, but seeing her wear it, it looks like a nice piece of arm candy!

My ImpacT :D

Haha. That watch, though... it looks like a finely crafted dollar store watch to me, haha. But Ayu likes her tacky stuff as fashionable as she is and that's all good with me. There's nothing wrong in playing and having fun with your style.

She has also been posting a lot of pictures of one of her black&white dogs, the male one can't remember the name, but I thought they both passed away? or was it just the female one?

Just the female one passed away. She keeps referring to the one we do see as "my li'l man" lol

Gaga Milano never made sense to me because I too find the design to be quite tacky lol and the price is outrageous.

Ayu has some extremely expensive watches, this isn't nearly as expensive compared to some she used before...
I kinda like the design, but, yeah, I would never spend so much money on a watch.

I like the messy bun, she looks cute.

I think any other watch is prettier than that Milano one. But tastes vary of course.
I would never spend that much on a watch like that.

She had more dogs though didn't she? but lately it seems as if he/she ( the black&white one) is the only one left?

^ I wonder about her dogs too. We know Pino passed away last year, but have we seen any of her other dogs besides Papiko and Cocoa lately? I don't remember seeing any mention about her other dogs in a long while...

photo from the instagram
http://i.imgur.com/QSl1vnhm.jpg
Princess Cocoa, new Crea and Pino

I think she posted a photo of three dogs on Instagram before "closing" it. I don't remember much of it, though, so I'm not 100% sure they're all hers.

I saw the commercial of her watch several times the day before I more or less stopped watching television or something like that, anyway. It's been a pretty funny coincidence to see her endorsing it like that a month later or so.

EDIT: Damn, I got so slow at writing .-. Anyway, now that I see that photo again, I think Cocoa was with her during the Countdown Live or something.

Did she seriously just endorse a product so blatantly?

Right, I forgot about the new crea... still, did she mention what happen to her other dogs? Does she only have those 3 now? If so, she's lost so many dogs in just a few years :(

Still can't get over the fact that she got a dog looking like CREA and named it CREA

^ My friend did the same with her new dog.

As usual my weekend made me realize that I'm a slave to art.

My personality doesn't allow me to enjoy much time off, but I guess I have to occasionally focus on taking a breather.

Recently I'm consciously trying to bring flowers and aromas into my daily life."

hello, 20 years old girl %)

can't translate. She said she wrote 14 songs and destroyed 5?
http://i.imgur.com/AXLoFpP.jpg

Yep !

Ayu is not Ayu without losing some songs

At least she didn´t drop them in the toilet again xD

Oh my gosh, hahaha, when did it happen?

my thoughts exactly :D although her last toilet songs were superb so please ayu, drop some more

Something about her writing lyrics on her phone while she's on the toilet, but she accidentally dropped her phone in it and lost them. I forgot when this happened though.

It was 2 years ago.
She posted it on TA on 19th March 2014.

Oh, poor thing :heart Thanks to both for the information.

What's the app she used :rolleyes

omg she won't stop endorsements she's on fire

Her hair look lighter, is she change it? Or some light effect? Hopefully she changed, kinda boring.

^ She changed.

Cocoa 2.0 :D
I love the names of her dogs haha

"Thanks everyone who said that Oreo is cute :P"
Oreo is 55-day-old. (s)he was born as one of triplets. Brother and sister are greeted by another family, and Oreo is last who came to the house.

But wait, when did she get Crea II? I must've missed it O.o
And she's still using instagram? I'm so lost ;_;

I prefer she named her dog Nutella

Yeah she said that she'd come back to instagram for the LaPerla campaign and has been using it ever since :)

We all know she loves IG too much LOL. Kinda funny because now all the "one month limited" and her post saying goodbye seem hella dramatic but well, that's Ayu for ya. I'm glad she's on IG again :)

and the followers keeps rising..not a bad deal to open her IG account again...

Her other dogs are with her mother, iirc. We see them from time to time when she visits, but I think she mainly has had only a few with her recently.

Oreo is too cute! ...I'm gonna go have some cookies now! :P

Man Oreo looks so cute I want to cook him and turn into adobo!

http://ameblo.jp/roi-salon/entry-12138666559.html

acording to Ayuangel facebook it's the video of the transformation of her hair?..lol at least that's the way it sounds to me..

It'd be quite weird if she uploaded a video of her haircut lol. Considering she could just do it on Instagram or even Twitter or something.

For some reason I'm thinking she's alluding to the set of A BEST commercials. Starting with the logo version a bit more than a week prior, with the subsequent ones released 4, 3, 2, 1 day prior and the final one released on the day of.

Because she says "that" as opposed to "this" video. But then she also says she's embarrassed. So really it could be anything. But "ano/that" is used to add emphasis to something, like if I said "Ayu came to my work" an appropriate response could be "Ano Ayu?!" Or "That Ayu?!" meaning "Ayumi Hamasaki"--does this make sense? And that set of commercials are also pretty iconic, I mean a countdown to a release of a best album...not common practice haha.

Lol it's late and I read into things too much. So don't mind me really.

I just don't see how a hair cut video would make sense being uploaded to YT lol. But maybe~

Maybe it'll be something completely new. She seems to have been a bit more secretive about her filming/recording process as of late. At least in comparison to a few years ago.

^ She also said 16日から, which I think translates as "from the 16th"? So it would make sense if it was a series of videos

i will not be surprised it will be series of transformation xD
one how she cut hair, second how she dyed it, next with styling etc xD

Or the final full version of the Winter diary PV haha

But she could also have an endorsement with a hair salon or something, so this might actually be related to her hair. She's been kinda obsessed with hair products and stuff lately

i thought the same too, a hair video would be a bit odd lol

That haircut looks nice on her. I sometimes wish she went to that dark bob haircut with highlights that she used to rock back in the old days. But maybe put a modern twist on it. Although she has bangs now so it would be a bit different.

Her new hairstyle is fresh and new!
