The translation for the question she answered "join AVEX" one doesn't seem accurate...

Ayu is so funny :laugh

But there was a very old HEY!x3 episode where she couldn't...

That one where they were trying to teach her? I remember that...

That explains why she went with Mannie and Maru! They have attractive feet! Because it certainly wasn't their faces.

Yeah, and she absolutely couldn't ride a bicycle then...

Well, yeah, she "couldn't"...

LOL at this!!! How do their feet even look like? Don't think we ever see it. How can feet be attractive? I don't get it, Ayu... :irked

yeah the first sho of Hey3x back in 2002 where they teach her how to ride bicycle then we can saw her riding bicycle in making of 1 Love PV


and thanx Zemus for these, so before the Hey3x show, she can already ride a bicycle,maybe she forgot it after a long time didnt do so ...

if not 10 years is not really accurate,im confious with Ayu haha

and she got fetish for boys and girls, does that mean shes bi? LOL

I wouldn't be surprised... :P

Mhhhh... this SO reminds me of my AyuXKuu fantasies, LOL.

The inability to ride a bike is as unbelievable as the many I-forgot-the-lyrics-moments. It is highly supportive for a cute and childish appearance, nonetheless.

Ayu sounds depressed, and/or defeated in this interview. Saying she feels much older than she is, and trying not to drink too much. Her "join Avex" thing (if translated correctly) sounds very cynical, very forced and sarcastically fake. I think she prefers short hair more often than not, but is probably told to have long hair at least part of the time. This interview makes me sad. :(

the interview is not meant to be serious. her saying joining-AVEX is tongue-in-cheek. i'd say its quite practical advice too :)

In answering she can ride a bicycle, she also say/imply (which i found hard translating literally into English) that it's not practical for her a celebrity to ride bicycle in public as people would chase her. if people ignore her, she will ride.

i think her foot fetish is healthy sort of thing, like she pays attention to how gorgeous feet can look. its nothing sexual.

Hmm just my opinion here

but I don't think depressed really, or defeated

' Feeling much older than she is ' well I see that completely as she is an entertainer, and for the most part ( we see the glamour part ) But it's hard work on the road and doing shows, and photo-shoots. Honestly how much time a year can she really take off. We know she tours every year, then a-nation, and the yearly countdown. It's a lot of work. And photoshoots aren't just take the photo and done. Same with PVs. Who knows how long make-up takes to put on and costumes. I am surprised she has gone this long, without taking a long break. She's quite amazing when you think about it.

As far as Avex and being forced there's alot of rumors over that. I'm sure other ppl in the forum could get into details. But I think in her early career she felt ' like she had no control ' but I' am pretty sure now she does.
