she is very tan but she explained that in her latest TA message, right? xD anyway, i still don't see where people get off by calling her "fat" or "chubby", she is no where near either of those. when a healthy person gains a little bit of weight, that doesn't make them fat. :no i've stated this so many times before in other threads but i find it quite irritating. xD i personally think that she looks great! hopefully that tan will go away soon though. xD

more fats
less chin
more boobs
less foundation
more mascara

Ayu is not fat, just less thin.

FAT?? No way...she'd have to reach normal weight first^^. I think she looked way to skinny before, so some weight is good IMO. She's a bit more curvy, and unless her extensions actually are glued in or something like that, her hair wouldn't get damaged from it. Weaves are simply braiding and sewing in hair. Her face is more vibrant though, and she has a more mature aura in her vids and interviews. Hair dye prolly ruined her hair though, but since she cuts it all the time...it's all good.

ayu isn't fat...she have gained weight, but she still isn't fat, ayu's probably so busy with everything, so she don't have time to work out, and i love ayu for her music, not for her looks

She's defintely using more makeup and even in a different way, but I dont think she looks bad. She's just grown up you know? :)

And shes NEVER fat! Sometimes, yeah, she looks a lil plumpier. But the girls so petite and its not like she's insanely overweight or obese. Shes not even close to overweight! XD Leave the poor girl alone lol

I heard that she's having cat food as she's on diet, she's juz much fat maybe.

She's having a cat food like my name's Bloody Gora.
She is also fat like my name's Bloody Gora.

Gaining small amount of Kilos doesn't make anyone fat.

I feel the sameway as most people posting here.

I believe she's soo tired and that means bad sleep, do you know what bad sleep does to your face and body?

Sure she looks a bit plumper and a bit ill too.

But make up does wonders ;)

So does photoshop.

But I would really like Ayu to stop singing for a while 'cause I was watching CDL 07-08 and I didn't like her voice at all,she's struggling so hard to keep us entertained and happy with her music, but rigt now I'm not so happy about her putting her hearing and voice at risk.

Though I would love to hear more songs from her.

*+D.N.A.+*

Your name is bloody Gora like my name is Ayumisrael.

I'm not ********ting or crapping, but it's true, I heard it from from T.V entertainment news which they dun usually crap about.

oh yeah its definitely a better word. thanks for the note.

When someone short like ayu gains weight, it's much more obvious than when a tall person does. I think ayu's weight-conscious. I know the girl eats but she's not famous for downing large quantities. In AT06 doc, she was only eating greens at a BBQ restaurant :dead2 Maybe recently she's been eating meat along with the greens (figuratively speaking). I like her mirrorcle world PV look and the Wacoal picture is gorgeous. Maybe for now, she should stay along those boundaries.

Personally, i prefer her a little slimmer, like AT05 size but she's entitled to be whatever size she wants to be of course.

And how do they know it? They saw her eating that? One of her friends told them she's eating that?
Not everything that's being said on TV is true even if it's a reliable program they never accurate at 100% unless if it's Japan's News or something like that.

I don't think it would kill Ayu to gain some weight, actually. The funny thing is, her body always manages to stay petite, but whenever she DOES put on a few pounds, it all goes to her face. At least, that's what I noticed.

See the JEWEL promotion period (Oct - Nov 2006) for what I'm talking about. Maybe it's her haircut, but her face was considerably rounder then, and that was after she got back from an extended stay in LA where, according to her management, she didn't pay attention to what she ate :laugh

I don't think fat is the right word. She looks heavier, but I think fat is kinda extreme in wording. I mean, it's more associated with obese which Ayu still has a long way to go before that.

Besides, I prefer my celebrities to have a little meat on their body. Like Mika Todd, who was gorgeous IMO but definitely wasn't skinny.

Oh.. It ain't reliable huh??

So Ayumi is comin back to Taiwan for another concert, I guess it's fake? ZZzzZz.. They definitely would've interview her at least, or get a news from Japan, who knows, duh!

EDIT: I'll explain better~ in Tour of Secret, I think yeah, her makeup were focused on her eyes, but in the rest of her face, I feel it's more natural and not as much makeup.

Or maybe it's cause she became bigger in her face? I have no idea.

I was looking at evolution era photos, she looks older than now, because of makeup she uses in her face, I found. She uses less makeup on her actual face, like cheek bones or so, and more in the eyes. I was looking in GUILTY photobook, and then the photoshoot with the black and white stripe shirt.. she looks so older in that photoshoot because of makeup~ so now I think her face looks even and naturally coloured, instead of (still beautiful) evolution style makeup.

A look at her face and how it's changed through the years:

Very big changes can be seen in her makeup after a certain period of time. Like every few years, the amount/methods change or something.

And... Ayu from a week or so ago:

Oi. You can see the change in her upper body area..

Especially when compared to this 2005 photobook page.

Normal hair would help her to look better, definitely.
