that's really funny pictures..hehehe....
poor Koda...

Does anyone know what episode of Ayuready? that Namie Amuro was on? I'd like to download it and see how it went! And if they sang together.

Me too ^^ I would like to dl ayuready ep with namie

hahahahah,its so funny.ok really,one side of me thinks that its kinda cool that Ayu is kind of like that,because it just proves how powerful she is as a singer and such.but another part of me would wish they'd all get along.however,Ayu still kicks butt.

LOL. THIS IS FROM 2005.

But. I doubt they hate each other.

Which Music Station episode was that?
Or which song did Ayu perform?

I once read an article on the Internet (2003 and I posted it here) and that was about Ayu and Namie hating eachother...

but if Namie laughs and Ayu laughs and Namie was on the AyuReady? show the I doubt they hate eachother...

Or it was just an act?

yeah, me too :yes

Hate is such a strong word. Maybe a small disliking against each other, but I doubt that too a bit.

Anyway, I just read through this thread and I'd like to know the following things:

-On which Music Station episode was it that Ayu, BoA & Namie appeared together?
-When & where did Ayu & Mika appear together? Would be great to know which show & episode here too...

Thanks :D

As far as I know... Namie wasn't on any AYUREADY episode? At least according to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayuready%3F
I don't see her name anywhere there. Maybe I'm blind though :P

you know... come to think of it:

I remember something -dunno if it's from AyuReady?- but there once I saw screencaps (I believe):

It was outside, it was a sunny day, and I remember Ayu playing some sort of game with some other singers/females... (on a table)

Does anyone know what I mean? Or am I just crazy?
(I believe it had something to do with A-Nation)

^I can tell you, you aren't crazy. (At least not in this aspect. d; Sorry, just kidding. ^^)

There was a kind of special episode of ayuready? during a-nation. It took place outside and no song was performed during that episode. ayu had four guests that time: YUKI from TRF, Mochida Kaori from Every Little Thing, BoA and Van Tomiko from Do As Infinity. ^^

i think it's ARTIST!Kono hito to ieba! X'Mas Special show.


i don't think Ayu and Namie hate each other because:
1. they're DIVA
2. Namie's a friendly woman
3. Ayu has no reason to hate Namie because at now the amount of Ayu's sale is more Namie's

lolz..then since Ayu has no reason to h@te namie coz she's got higher sales, then can i say namie h@tes ayu coz she got lower then her? :innocent:D

h@ting someone is a very tiring thing.. :(:dead2

YEAH! THAT'S THE ONE!

I didn't know if Namie was in it... :grumpy

Lol another revival of an old thread. :P
but i'm going to reply anyway, since i haven't post in here for ages. ^^;


as in response to some people who said Ayu is not talkative, maybe the reason is:

credits to Masa for the translation of that radio show.


Then about the Music Station, i don't know whether talking in some sort of Music show for few minutes is considered as getting along, they might just being polite to each other or just killing times instead of just sitting there and doing nothing. lol.

Anyway, about Ayu and Namie, so far i've never caught them giggling or talking like HS girls,
like Ayu with HIkki (MS November 2005 & March 2007), or Ayu with Koda (MS March/April?? 2006 & October 2006),
i even saw Ayu whispering something to Masaharu Fukuyama about Ken Hirai's performance at that time which caused him laughing (MS June 2006)

but yes, i've never seen her talking with Namie like that even though in MS (October/November? 2005) they appeared together with BoA sat in the middle of them.
and like just devilayu said, none of them talked to Ayu even though Namie was seen smiling when Ayu being interviewed by the hosts.

and about that make up monster article.. LOL somehow it just cracked me up in the past.
how amazing what media can do huh.. :P
anyway i'm with those who saying they're probably not friends but not hating each other either.
beside i doubt Ayu has time to carry on a feud, she's as busy as hell. hehe.. :)

I don't see a reason why Namie and Ayu should hate each other, and I'm sure BoA doesn't hate Ayu, nor she hates BoA, as in the HISTORY of BoA, she mentioned that the first JPOP artist she met was actually Hamasaki, and that she was extremly nice to her, and payed her respects even though BoA was a child back then.

I'm not sure if this got already mentioned, but in the articles section is an interview with ayu from the September 2006 issue of "Cawaii" translated by isaac hiew. And in that interview she said:

After all, celebrities are just people (Surprise!) and they get along with each other or don't get along with each other, just like anyone else. But I think that interview says quite much about the ayu-Namie-hating-topic... I don't think they hate each other.

And about BoA: While a clip about ayus "A BEST II" release was shown on MS, showing a part of the PV for "Dearest", BoA (I think it was her...) was singing along with it. That was so cute! ^^

Thanks for the translate!
Who doesn't admire Namie? lol

Yeah, that was nice to see... I believe it was also BoA :yes

No, ayu doesn't hate any singer ^_^. She's not that kind of person. (at least not japanese singers).

I think that they do not hate each other! Why would they? I think they look great together as friend, hanging out... :yes And I doubt they would hate each other because of sales.
And I`m too interested in which music station were Kumi and Namie laughing at Ayu (if it`s really about her) :)

yeah, that's true!
they're both good selling artist! :yes

I love to see that episode :D

In the end I doubt most artists are really good friends [apart from those who were friends before they became popular and those who collaborate, etc] When I see them on variety shows, most of the time it seems an act. Most artists don't have that much time to interact and probably see each other as competitors or leverage for more attention, to some extent.

In award shows BoA always looks terribly sour when somebody apart from her wins an award. Koda is too eager to appear friendly to everyone, that it makes me wonder sometimes. Ayu is always the type who keeps professional life as entirely professional - see how she used to interact with Tomoya when they were together.
