Ayu has pretty normal-sized breasts for an Asian. But I like how they're firm and well-shaped. I think that's what makes them look great. Some big breasts are just floppy and look terrible.

I think the reason why she looks a tad bigger in the bikini top (in the Bali pictures) is due to: a) airbrushing and b) clingy fabric of the bikini top. Anything used to emphasize the outline of breasts helps make them look larger than usual. Plus the contrast of the brown with Ayu's skin tone adds to the illusion.

why are we talking about boobs? LOL

Because they're awesome :cool

LOL j/k, I just got home... I'm lost, why ARE we talking about boobs?

Because this "Sunrise / Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～ information and covers [V]" is AHS speak for "This is the boob thread, yo!" haha.

I usually like to wait til I get my ViVi to read her diary... but I'll take a peek to see what all the fuss is about lol.


*edit*

Her boobs look nice! I don't see anything out of the ordinary! I didn't in the covers neither. I think talk of her getting breast surgery is a bit ridiculous too! I mean, if she were to get surgery, don't you think they'd be bigger than that?! I've never worn a bikini top before (too shy D: ) but if it's anything like a padded bra, that would explain the umph in her cleveage. I know when I wear a padded/push-up bra, people ask me if my breast have gotten bigger.

lol, that outfit was a little tight on top, huh? :thud

^ Wasn't she thicker back then too?

A little bit, yeah, haha.

And a little? That thing was suffocating CREA and Choco! -my names for her boobs-

Boobs. LOL

I just think it's bra..but whatever.

Lol! Yeah that's the first thing I noticed when I saw AT07!

I've seen ones... and in a shop here in Spain called "WOMAN's secret" (they sell really nice and cute pijamas, underwear and bikinis) I was surprised because I've seen bikinis that not only are stuffed (I don'r know how to explain...) but also are wonderbra like some bras... O.O

and, latest photos in TA... same dress we saw in yellow.. now green and blue O.o

all live have been recorded?? is she going to appear always with the same dress?? what's thaT?? XD

Wow, those are some nice boots!

Anyways, she did this with fairyland and stuff, so it's to be expected. Love the outfits.

And that is a LOT of boob.

^ she did similar things for step you and fairyland already, same costume in different colors

EDIT: truehappiness was faster

I love her outfit. :D
Prefer blue though~! :)

I love those outfits!! I would soooo dress like that if i was that thin!!! :love

^I don't like the outfit (nor the bun), but I do like her NATURAL boobs haha.

ah cute! are the boots denim? If I remember correctly, last time ayu wore denim boots was like 2003

Indeed!!:lech
I like this outfit and I start to like covers lol. I took some time but at least i don't hate them anymore...:D

LOL ayumiko, the photographer sig u have. i love leslie kee's work ^o^ ayu's legs look super skinny in the blue outfit

I just read the interview! I think it's really sweet. I just KNEW they'd have the same melody. I kneeeeeeeeeeeeeew it. *does happy dance*

thats cuteee :luv2
definitely these dresses are for Sunrise lives *-*
can't wait..

edit::.

@Ayumiko i love your sig so much :roflmao

I have a strange feeling that sunset is going to be Namie's No and Yes.
Like...sunrise is no, and sunset is yes, the same vocal track from the first song, just remixed into a slow ballad

or another example. utada's distance, and final distance.

don't go by what i say. just a weird hunch. ayu would never do that...would she?

If you didn't read:
"One melody, two different lyrics, and two different arrangements."

They are not the same song at all, just.. composition wise.

What exactly is the melody? Dumb question, I know. I just don't get what's going to be the same if there are two different lyrics and arrangements. ;~;

The melody is basically the notes/composition that are used for the songs.

So like, you know when there's sheet music for Ayu stuff? It's like the same notes and etc. but it's gonna be arranged differently with different instruments and etc.

So, Sunset will be like taking Sunrise, slowing it down (Since Sunset's a ballad?), removing the instruments and replacing it with new ones, replacing lyrics, and... Ta-da?

^ yes

It's kinda like how Kumo was the same composition when LOVERS SOUND TRACK did it, and then it came out as Memorial address with a new arrangement, lyrics, and singer...

Ooh, that's going to be sweet. (8<
I could buy the single and just put a brown paper bag over it! YAY 8D

Or make your own cover.. which I might actually do.

Kind of like Kumi's "Yume no Uta/Futari de..."! ^^

Not really. I heard that didn't work out too well, haha.

But hopefully this is kinda like Ladies Night vs. Ladies Night ~another night~.

... Take the photos and edit in a brown paper bag?
Lol no, if I really made new covers, I'd probably keep the body, but that background simply has to go... o.e

Everyone loves boobs!! ( :yes )

We'll see once we hear a preview of Sunset... Other than that, I'm getting that "Yume no Uta/Futari de" vibe. :D (But with crappy covers! :laugh)

its kinda like how ayu did sweetbox's songs...she changed the lyrics and arrangement...so when you hear both versions, they're similar but different.

Still don't get it ( :P ). I hope they don't sound too much alike though...

The covers look alright. I can't decide which one I like better.

is this the official drama link
http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/dandy/bb/index.html

it says
here
"Sunrise / Sunset (Preview)" is only Sunrise or both?

^It's probably for Sunrise. :P

If Ayu gets #1 for this single, will she break any amazing records? How many #1 singles does she need to get to beat KinKi Kids?

"July 1st / Greatful days / fairyland / BLUE BIRD / glitter" (temporary)

is this still the temporary tracklist for the megamix? even though it says it is, I haven't seen it change in a while so I'm still not sure. seems official. I think it did change, when it first came out wasn't green supposed to be in the list or something? like after glitter?

I posted that it was updated. It's in the first post.

It's this list now...

KK's record will never be beaten from ayu, B'z, or Mr. Children etc. KK's record is getting no. 1 since the DEBUT single (and their streak is not broken yet FYI). There's no way the other mega stars can do that since they can't turn back time.

And I dunno if she'll break any record at all, besides her own (most no. 1 in female category rite..?). If you talk about the artist with most no. 1, that should be B'z (... and Mr. Children should come in second). I think they have at least 10 more no. 1 singles than ayu has at this point, and I dun think ayu will ever beat that record at all..

Ah okay. Thanks a lot. :D

I think she'll only end up beating her own record, which is still good. :D
Any news on the PV yet? :o

Well, she still has most consecutive #1's to steal from Matsuda Seiko or whatever...

No matter what the topic, AHS usually falls into boob discussion.

Beats me why though :shrug I just roll with it :D

Back on the current(ish) topic, what titles would you like to see for the megamix?

I'm hoping it's something like "Decade of Summer" or something cool like that xD...it does contain her most awesome summer hits ever =3

The TeamAyu member 'call' was for both PVs. They will be present in both PVs.

Like I said on this page, this is the title of the mash up and the order that the songs will be in:

I'm really looking forward to the Mega-Mash-Up-Mix! I hope it's epic~ :P

Oooohhhh, sweet. (:<
Too bad I couldn't be a part of it. ;~;

The megamix sounds fun! i wont be buying the single though if Sunset turns out bad. Sunrise is a dissapointment. The covers are a nightmare. I only have Sunset as my last hope for this sinle

*high five*

by the way, do we know who is doing the mixing on the mash-up? i'm sure it'll be interesting no matter what, but it would be comforting to know.

fan photos from Music Japan July 20th taping:

Apparently each fan (400) were given a free a-nation 09 towel...lucky! I love the new A logo!

More pics!

^ OOOO!!!~ I want one!! hahah~ But i still want the A-nation 08 towel more.....with the 10th anniversary logo~

Wow, how cute! It has a little captain's hat.. but that spells ... Mirrorcle World.. haha.

Just as a precaution, I will make the 6th thread now since there are only about 14 or so posts left until the closing of this thread which I imagine will be about the towel being so cute, haha. Please post HERE and not in VI until this thread hits 500. Thank you!

Cute towel!!

AHhh I really love that little hat!!
It reminds me exactly of her Mirrorcle World performances!! So cute, can't wait to see other merchandise for a-nation!
And I envy those people that got to see her perform Sunrise!

Maybe Ayu will perform the Mash-Up Mix on this year's a-nation, that would be fabulous!

The new A Logo seemed Cute, I love the towel....
Yea I kinda sense the same thing too,,:lech

BTW, Ayumiko...your signature it's the most awesome signature I've ever seen here :D:P

How a-nation and music japan linked? %) Just promotion?

Music Station is reportedly set for the Friday after release.

She has 3 performance outfits, a yellow/blue/orange combination..

I suspect that the other show is HEY!HEY!HEY! or MUSIC FIGHTER.

The covers really aren't that terrible, yo. Haha.


A rather pretty rendition of Sunrise by abottchen.

those towels are so cute :D:D:D

I honestly don't think the covers look that bad. I think once we get the actual case in our hands, it'll look quite nice. I'm pleased. :)

@truehappiness
That piano rendition is quite nice. I love it. Thank you for posting! :)

im really starting to like the blue and green...it feels empty but..somehow it does work a little....
i just wished Ayu smiled

the covers ... ugh :x i hate them so much.
her eyes are empty and she looks like a dead fish and the clothes are so terrible :x. they're like somekinda jungle clothes *yuck*.
cd + dvd is even worse. she looks like a elf or something.

those towels are small. they're like shoulder shawls or something. But I do love the new symbol.

sigh...the covers are official now...no more hope...but I'll still buy the single since I like sunrise...hopefully sunset will be good too. The pvs please be ok too! >_<

Bigger covers
