^ kuu fans think the opposite, you know, lol. ayu fans or any type of fans hate on koda kumi because she's KODA KUMI. if there's an artist who gets bashed on the most, i think it's kumi. and it's for the usual reasons too. her appearance and etc.. i'm tired of seeing that.

but seriously speaking, can we please just get back on topic? good for ayumi being the spokesmodel for gemcerey. the end. :P

*appears back in the thread*

I wished Ayu would have appeared with the jewelry on in that pic...so it can look more profitable.

Yeah. But there's an equal amount of Koda fans that does the same thing to Ayu. Of course, a lot also love both. I'm one of those. Though both artist haven't quite impressed me for the past 2 years. I guess it's something we really need to just ignore. I don't think it's ever gonna stop. Too many Koda fans that hates Ayu + Ayu fans (bla bla bla, Koda is better than Ayu now! bla bla bla Koda is the new J-Pop Queen! bla bla bla Ayu is nothing now! bla bla bla Ayu looks like an alien! bla bla bla Ayu's new music is crap! bla bla bla) and too many Ayu fans that hates Koda + Koda fans (bla bla bla Koda will never be as good as Ayu! bla bla bla Koda is a ho! bla bla bla Koda only uses sex! bla bla bla). XD Never ending... :dead2

yes...thank you for pointing that out. I hate when ppl try to make it sound like ayu fans bashes koda and her fans doesn't do it to ayu...when I've seen worse and more bashing towards ayu. I won't deny the bashing towards koda but its been both ways

^I have to agree there, I saw more ayu bashings more than kumi bashings and I hate bashings towards both it's annoying >_<...
I think it's the age range of most of kumi's fans perhaps? oh well.

Anyway I would love to see the CM... ALREADY!!!

It seems like some Jpn fans arent that excited though. Cause apparently this company is known for bad business practices (like harrassing customers nonstop by phone...fooling them into thinking they won certain lottery event but ends up trying to force them to buy things and won't let them leave).

i completely agree. i'm over her poses and "cute" faces. they're just so old now.

and also, i wish she didn't wear fur either. i just try to tell myself its all faux fur, even though i'm sure it isn't. :(

what? thats concerning... i wonder if ayu knows, or if she even cares?

i'm pretty sure it's real :-\ she's a fashionista haha. i think fur is one of those "to each there own" type of things. i myself don't own any and don't plan on owning it just because i have no need for fur...anything.

Eh, go tell Hello!Project that. Oh my. D:


You also have to consider that they don't simply just shoot pouty lip shots... there's probably some sophisticated looks that got scrapped in the process. Does anyone happen to know if Sweet is targeted towards a younger audience or anything..?

the huge eyes/fish lips is annoying
doesn't make her look attractive at all
i like the hair though
my fav from Sweet is still the one during A BEST 2

I like seeing her smile with some teeth... It makes me so happy, but I guess smiles aren't dramatic and empowering like showing your fish lips and looking like you're drunk (well, that's what i think of when i see her with her open mouth xD)

well, she does like to drink, so maybe she was drunk? :shrug

It's pretty much a vicious circle. Something good happens to Ayu or Kumi and you see grumpy fans. This Koda vs Ayumi thing will drag on forever because there are enough immature people on the internet to fight over it. I like both but I'm happy to see Ayu getting a new contract. Lately Koda has been getting a load of contracts and losing one isn't a big deal.

I don't mind if it's on JPM but I hate it when some moron goes on a bashing spree on AHS, because this is an Ayu forum and supposedly we are fans of Ayumi and at least we should respect other Ayu fans.

so ayu replace kuu, rite..
thanks the news..

:)

Nice =)

Thanks for the info~

The way I see it, Ku and Ayu are totally different, and not really comparable, due to the changes in music industry Ku got popular a little bit too late, so she will never be able to do what Ayu, Hikki and Namie did some years ago.I personally think that Ku has improved a lot the last few years and that her hard work payed off.

thx for the news, i can't wait to see her new cm, i would be very great cm

I wouldn't be 100% sure on that. I think I remember Ayu saying she doesn't own any real fur because she loves animals so much...but then again I'm sure she has real leather. I'm sure she just wears whatever they give her for CMs though.

^ Of course she has leather. Check all the Louis Vuitton bags she has.

If they do that, why are they still popular? If they really did that kind of stuff, they should be going to jail right now, no? :shrug I don't think avex would let their artists advertise for that kind of product.


That's a whole different story. They are almost all under 20 years old. Even the 20 years old still look young and fresh. Ayu's almost 30 years old.

^ Yeah but she still looks young and fresh imo. Seriously 29 years is still very young. Here in Europe when you're in your 30's you're still called one of the youngsters. Also Japan is a land where youth is promoted so it's not like her photographer will try to make her older.
