hahaha yea =] 12 layers, wouldn't it be very warm and stuffy inside?? O_O

it doesn't have to be.
it could be a little warmer, but you'd be amazed to know what heat diference it can make, depending on the fabric that you use

what is court lady? is ayu trying portray a court lady???

I knew that, but I dunno if there is any other differences except the sleeves.

That kimono was HEAVY and EXPENSIVE, an aunt that knows about fashion told me it must have costed 30-40k and she must have more than one for the tour, like Madonna

A court lady (I think) put simply, is a royal woman.

is ayu's kimono in AT2007 the exact same as the one she wears in the part of Me PV?

I'm pretty sure it is, with some probable alterations.. [like a few less layers so she can get it on faster, and less hair ornaments/different hair ornaments.. but in the AT07 performance, she has a TON of her head. It's insane!]

^ probably the head dress with the hair is all together. all the staff needa do is to glue the hair to ayu's skin lol.. at the sides.

^Eww,poor Ayu.

part of Me/Secret in AT 2007

As we can see, in part of Me, Ayu has this ponytail at the back, and then with the same fringe. Her long hair is tied to the sides and then tied at the top of the back as a bun thing. I wonder how long it takes to tie to such a style...

but the fringe isnt of the same colour and the pony tail isnt of the same straight-ness.

i think they probably tie ayu's real hair into a bun or stuff it into the kimono and then put the fake hair on her head.. it's faster that way isnt it?

That makes sense too, but if you ask me, I think her hair on evolution/UNITE! looks much 'faker' than the rest of her other hairstyles on her. But again, the hair color when she's singing part of Me is of a totally tint compared to the rest, so... this is so confusing!

ya i agree that ayu's hair look like a wig.. But nonetheless it made ayu look like a princess with golden locks. during M and kiss o' kill, can see that her hair is quite dry lol XD

i like ayu's hair in AT2006 Ladies Night. it's just so "ladies"!

I think she needs to start using SilkHair or some hair product to improve her hair quality.

Hey!! Thank you very much for your idea!!!
The shapes and the designs of ayu's kimono are one of my favorite styles!!
