:love Those are awesome. Ughh, want so bad.

the thread is cool!

In Batam (Indonesia), there's a karaoke house in a shopping mall called Nagoya Hill. And they put Ayu's Secret booklet (JEWEL page) picture on its wall. Really huge. I wanted to take a picture but I am not daring to do it (don't know why~)
Actually I went there for holiday.

And on my last holiday to Singapore, my mom picked 3 handbags for $10 and they got a handbag which has Ayu's Mirrorcle World printed in it! I told my mom and sis, and they bought that one. LOL~

And then, I ever watched a TV program which discussed about "animal-human", and they put ayu's ayu-mi-x III nonstop version picture. :lol:

I think I have other ayu sightings, but I don't really remember. I will post it next time

saw in the bus today

I bought these in this summer. I was surprised when I found ayu shirts in my hometown.

In Finnish drama called "Salatut Elämät" [Secret Lifes] There was once this character called Oona, who was a fan of Japan, and in one episode, ayu was mentioned : D

They don't say anything important really, Oona sees the CDs and comments:
"What are those? Oh, that is good one. Ayumi Hamasaki". [They also mention SMAP, btw, Oona says "Ayami" though XD]
I think there was some other ayu mention in some program or something too, but I can't remember it :/

^ what's the CD btw?
GUILTY? Secret?

wow Ayu is amazing <3

I wonder it too XD Which one is it?
Oh, now I remember one!
In Eurosport, thet played ayu's Trauma once in the WATTS program XD I was like "Cool!" XD

at :19 you can see Ayu promo pics~

i was watching disney channel one day and this video came on and i was watching then all of a sudden it was like BAM! O.O lol

^Wow how crazy you managed to find that!

Wow, talk about some old footage!

I love how she accidentally becomes a part of western bands' pvs like Black Eyed Peas and Weezer :D

I'm not really in an area for spotting Ayu images but I will certainly keep my eyes open. I'm sure I would squeal just a little bit if I ever saw her poster just randomly somewhere.

I wish I had took a photo but in Koh Phangan (Thailand island) there's a nail salon in the main town where the Full Moon parties take place and there is a big poster in the window of Ayu.

This is not purely an Ayu-find but:



It seems that EXIT TRANCE, Group of DJ's who remix everything from Anime to CM to School songs have made a remix of 卒業写真 ~ Graduation Photo a song which ayu covered as well. Really nice remix ^_^
This song is part of CD EXIT TRANCE PRESENTS ~Gakko Tance~ Vol. 4 [Aka songs known and popular in Japanese schools, of course with a dancey twist, however there are some that I have heard in my school too~]
I guess this song is used in some schools when people graduate~

I really want this shirt! D:
I wonder if they sell anything like these in Los Angeles...

EXIT TUNES doesn't seem to have permission to remix any Ayu songs ever... though I wish they could.

oooh weezer ^.^

Do you think ayu or avex know people are using ayu images to promote their own things?
like the fur coats and the cars.
I mean...i know its a high price to sign a person to advertise or sponsor them but its stealing their image?
I remember i saw a namie amuro shirt someone was wearing in the cinema and i asked them about it and told them about it and i went to the shop she got it from and told them and the manager said she had no clue and that she was quite upset someones image had been used unlawfully.

Just makes you think if your image had been stolen and posted up somewhere around the world and you never knew about it!
Right now you could be a face of a product no one has heard of! funkeh and scarey at the same time!!!
