wow thats so cool its amazing that h e can still fit and it still looks good on her

Well, i'm not saying they copied, but Ayu has done VERY similar things that Madonna has....

Yeah, I don't see why people always deny it...it's obvious ayu gets plenty inspiration from Madonna. But it's healthy, I think. :3

i would say that ayu's not copying,
but then i think it would be an inspiration..
if sumone would say that she's copying,
well, she would had make a difference and sumthing better of it...
there are lots of singers that copied ayu.. (not gud to mention them)
^^"" Madonna is ayu's idol..
hehe.... both of 'em are my idols..

Highly unlikely. Ayumi has said in interviews she doesn't want to meet Madonna because she doesn't want to meet her idol. Plus, I don't really think Madge has audiences backstage like that.

? She doesn't seem to have gained any weight since then, so unless the outfit shrunk it's probably still the same fit.

I think that a lot of Japanese artists randomly go to Madonna concerts and it's sort of like.. they're just regular fans. :p

I'm a member of Madonna's official fan club and I posted a thread about Ayu being at the show in Miami on the official boards there. A bunch of people replied and said they know who she is, but only 2 or 3 people think they saw her.

That's still neat, though!

I think it would have been funny to go to the Miami show and see the both of them all in one night. *sensory idol overload*

Thanks for posting.Very cool pics.

Thanks a lot^^

The shoes on the 2nd Scan look weird...^^''

I can't believe you were in the same place that Ayu! So close so far!!:no

is she in the chicago airport? how unfair, i was just there last night! :(

I was there a month ago D=

If I'm correct about the airport, she is in Ohare.

Thank you very much! I love her DS!

thanks for this. Her handwritting is quite bad..

Does she really? D: I thought it was sort of normal ~ LOL

haha yea little...
but it looks kinda cute though... hehe
like the 'a' haha juz one line, then down straight away curve it...
hehe funny, cute..!

I think it's awesome that she went to see Madonna live :). I'm not a great fan of madonna even if I like some of her music, but seeing her live would be awesome I think.

Hopefully Ayu got some good inspiration to make her next tour even more awesome than any of her previous :)... but I wonder if she'll ever be able to top AT05 or 06, which in my opinion is by far the best ones.

Thanks for the scans :).

Wow. immel is sure posting a lot noww <3

Yeah, I think it is awesome that she went to Madonna's tour.. although I think it'd be best if she used her own ideas.. lol

I wonder when the next 'mixed' tour will be.. (aka not themed to a specific album)~ the last one was like, AT03-04...kinda.. or was it A MUSEUM D:

awwww. I`m so glad Ayu had a nice time :D

@Anthony - AT03-04 was Memorial address, I think? A MUSEUM was more of a mix, even though it had strong influences from one of the albums, don't remember which one though.

It'd be awesome if she did another <3

AT03-04 was indeed Memorial Adress.

A Museum was to celebrate her 40th single?

Wasn't it 30th o.O?

^yeah

if it was to celebrate her 40th single it would have been this year

Yes, 30th, but it had a part that was a medley of a lot of singles, and she sang more of the full songs from one of her more recent albums I think.

I think A MUSEUM was during the year that they did the Limited Team Ayu live.. and rather than 20-30 concerts, A MUSEUM only had 8 or something.. :o~

So there was no specific album other than the 'single' forgiveness..? D:

If i was on the exact same spot Ayu had been, i'd kiss the ground, lick it..haha

I didn't notice the clothes from TO BE , it is nice :)

About the bodyguard, is he the same from the one in Dearest ? The one falling down.
About LV stuff, this brand is very famous in Japan. A lot of women own some LV stuff, it is very impressive. GUCCHI is also famous but I think the n°1 is LV in Japan.

Now that I think of it, Ayu has been recording more and more in America. I think her reason could be like Hikki's, she was being creatively strained in Japan and America is more "free-er" for her. Where she can walk virtually anywhere and not be recongnized and where she is able to do more stuff for herself as well as her fans.

I wonder if a fan of her recognized her during her trip in US. Would she be pleased to have fan there? Or would she think she cannot be free from fans even in US?

^That is a really good question. I am reminded of the NTV2004 interview when she's walking through Fukuoka, and some children in the background shout out to her "Ayumi-chan!!" I dunno if she know her from her time living there or because she's famous, but she turned around after smiling for awhile and shouted back like "go to school!!!"

Unless she is surrounded by staff all the time, bodyguards or is wearing way too much things to hide her looks, like hoods or sunglasses, I bet that she must've been recognized at least a few times while walking the streets of NY, LA or wherever.

It's bound to happen, as famous as she is, unless she goes outside rarely which I doubt if she has the chance to do it without being noticed.

Thats like what I said, I doubt they take pictures when she is horded by fan(s).

There's always the possibility that because she's so established, Avex allows her to go outside of Japan more to film. The anonymity is a good reason for her to film elsewhere but I mean, you can still film in Japan and not be bothered if you close down a street, etc.

It doesn't matter where you are, if you have a camera crew, people are going to look because they think you're famous. For example, filming in NYC doesn't necessarily mean a crowd will be smaller. Because of the number of tourists year round, they gather regardless of whether or not you're famous.

I was talking about fans or people knowing Ayu. People who could shout her name. I wonder how she would react since she is not in Japan.

thank you a lot
I like the pics...and the fact Ayumi goes to Madonna concerts, XD
