Aderianu 8th July 2017 06:12 PM

そしてナントその様子を12時からインスタライブで生中継しちゃいます

^insta live broadcast from 12 tomorrow?

Ayu and her many many many many dancers:rolleyes

Amalgam 8th July 2017 09:22 PM

her hair is longer now?

AyuWorld 9th July 2017 03:23 AM

Ayu posted new insta story showing her garden, they are preparing for a barbecue i guess and yes live at 12pm

AyuWorld 9th July 2017 04:32 AM

Just watched Ayu and her dancers having barbeque at her garden <3 nice one and the last part they made they gesture "arenaaa" that ayu did on Shabekuri hahaha

Ps: did she had silicone implant? XD

YUKARI 9th July 2017 04:44 AM



They said that Osaka shows will be special! Something different is planned.

AyuWorld 9th July 2017 04:52 AM

Her face looked different recently, has Ayu aged much? >.>

Haha i hope we will get new outfits

I think she looks really adorable. I indeed start to wonder if the outfit was the best choice for a TV appearance, but the hate is soo far-fetched. This pic proves that she looks gorgeous! (Yeah yeah... different angles, but whatever.)

Ayu's featured on news, what are they saying? Bout her net worth?

YUKARI 12th July 2017 11:53 AM

^ it says what she spends 8200 yen for 8 pieces of sushi at home while having room service. she spent more than 1 mln yen for some hours of it. then they ask who pays for it. they say - she pays by herself. they say she still pays lots of taxes and get her profit from lives and sales of goods. in the end, they say "of course, she doesn't have any lack of money".

Thank you! I wonder where they got such information like how much ayu spent on her sushi treat lol.

Love the last one what they said she doesnt have any lack of money haha

pedronekoi 12th July 2017 01:52 PM

Interesting! Thanks, YUKARI!

So maybe the media/avex is trying to show that ayumi is rich and have her luxury but whitouth being a diva? I get that feel from the last TV show.

AyuWorld 12th July 2017 02:13 PM

Yep I have a feeling this is their trick to promote Ayu or to let the public know that Ayumi Hamasaki os still here ans shes still stable on the industry lol

Like suddenly they kinda show that they are impressed with her not a lot maybe a little in the news, why lol

The last i remember was they comparing Ayu and Namie (not really in a positive way for Ayu) so yeah

melissalove 12th July 2017 05:52 PM

Wow if showing off her wealth is the only way avex can get ayu some attention these days. That in itself is kinda sad :/

attractive nausea 12th July 2017 06:45 PM

^ My thoughts exactly

Andrenekoi 12th July 2017 09:02 PM

^Well, gossip sites were trying to imply she was going bankrupt by saying she had to sell her stuff because she was out of money. If she is not making money this mean she is over, and if she is over it's uncool to like her.

It's less about showing how much she pays for sushi and more about showing her career still going strong and making her money.

truehappiness 13th July 2017 01:03 AM

It's all about how you choose to interpret things, really.

EndOfTheWorld 13th July 2017 01:30 AM

I honestly really don't care how much money and clothes Ayu has. It's typical for celebrities to be wealthy and own a lot of luxury things.
Sometimes I get tired of the media with Ayu. She is so interesting and has released so much music throughout the years. But instead, the focus is on expensive houses, net worth, hand bags and phone cases, and clothing.:rolleyes

URANUS 13th July 2017 03:09 AM

I feel like it is an elaborate effort of Avex to create and clean Ayu's new image as the "Queen". They have been focusing on her wealth, power. I actually think this is pretty empowering for Ayu. It shows her strength in the industry. In the previous show, they also mentioned that she's sold over 50 million records. I feel that they should focus on that more in the coming months before they finally release A BEST 3.

Andrenekoi 13th July 2017 03:21 AM

^Even because a "down to earth girl next door" image at this point of the game that everyone knows she is filthy rich and powerful in the industry wouldn't work at all :P

So true. That is really obvious.

Katsuyuki012 13th July 2017 05:11 AM

Everyone really seems to want A BEST 3, huh?

xLuna&1LOVE 13th July 2017 08:11 AM

I don't get the whole woooo about A BEST 3. Sounds so least exciting.

truehappiness 13th July 2017 08:22 AM

People don't want it, I think, but it's bound to come at some point. Worst would be A BEST -FINAL-.

EndOfTheWorld 13th July 2017 09:39 AM

Because Ayu has not released many singles since A Best 2. Most of the content would be 2008-2010. We only had Zutto and the limited Colours singles since then. One or two digital singles. I think A Best 3 would maybe be an awkward greatest hits collection. Totally possible but it would be heavy on 2000s songs. May as well just buy the individual albums at that point.
I think something like A Best COMPLETE is more likely. But it's just a prediction at this time. I could be wrong.
Above all, I want A Ballads 2.
Please.:laugh:heart

Katsuyuki012 13th July 2017 12:21 PM

I wouldn't really want another A BEST but I guess with all the physical + digital singles released since A BEST 2 it would be enough.

pedronekoi 13th July 2017 02:27 PM

She have been so quiet on social media these days...

Aderianu 13th July 2017 03:01 PM

She should be busy with rehearsals. Next show day after tomorrow

YUKARI 13th July 2017 04:00 PM

It will be A BEST ~A COMPLETE~.

It will sell huge if she say this is her last release and she's retiring.

A Best have album tracks, the lack of singles isn't a problem...

relmy 13th July 2017 05:14 PM

A BALLADS 2 would be amazing. A lot of the Love Again tracks could really benefit from being revisited and reworked.

A BEST 3 would be yet another CD with You & Me on it!!

melissalove 13th July 2017 07:02 PM

My biggest fear is A best 3 being the same tracks she sings every year and maybe 1 song of this decade. :/

pedronekoi 13th July 2017 08:24 PM

My fear is that A BEST 3 being very hyped up and only sell 10k... I don't think a compillation is necessary by now unless it have unreleased tracks and/or rare live versions or something like that.

YUKARI 13th July 2017 08:47 PM

^ yeah, especially if the price be around more than 10k yen :laugh

Amalgam 13th July 2017 10:42 PM

I'm on board with A Ballads 2 + a new album attached to it?

truehappiness 14th July 2017 01:26 AM

Whatever the next greatest hits will be, it'll probably be a double album... or even triple.

A LAST COMPLETE
A LAST BEST

Two luxury albums costs 100,000 yens each.

Bonus: Ayumi Hamasaki's real tear drop in a collection bottle.

YUKARI 15th July 2017 06:17 AM

^ hahaha yeah

but she'll probably move to Dinner shows someday. the ticket price will be like 100k, I guess.

Evan Odinson 29th July 2017 06:48 PM



Not sure if this goes here, but Fuki had to sing M on Battle Karaoke and she did great, and everyone was like excited when they heard that she had to sing that song haha

xLuna&1LOVE 29th July 2017 08:52 PM

By doing great... you probably mean she hits the notes right. But this woman is tonedeaf... this is ear-rape to me.

But eh cool, that they like her pick.

EndOfTheWorld 29th July 2017 11:39 PM

That is so cool.:thumbsup
Her voice is very different from Ayu. I thought she did well but lacked the charm of Ayu's original M vocals. I always have felt like M was a complex song to sing, for any singer.

Refix 30th July 2017 03:19 AM

Hands down, to be able to sing one of the most difficult song from Ayu in a decent way.

ExodusUK 30th July 2017 03:52 AM

Why do TV shows always use that Panasonic promo photo/drawing thing for Ayu?

Katsuyuki012 30th July 2017 05:32 AM

^Imo it's one of the most beautiful photos of Ayu xD
The drawing looks 'meh' though.

But no idea either. Maybe it's a famous photo?

On another note, I agree with Luna about Fuki singing ℳ.

attractive nausea 30th July 2017 10:44 AM

Wtf we're all complaining about Ayu screaming too much when singing but this woman is wayyy worse.

a❤martian 31st July 2017 02:53 AM

I hate the way Fuki sings. That stereotypical J-Rock whine/wail. Drives me nuts. At least Ayu's voice is unique.

Thought the same! lol I think it's because it's the first result you get when you google her name on Instagram. I hate that picture so much!!

I can't with the way that girl sings!! :tired

Lilly 1st August 2017 01:55 AM

Seeing her singing M and the effort she has to put on it and how it still does not sound good, no wonder Ayu's voice has gone so bad over the years.
