According to the news, after hours of her arrival in HK, she immediately directed her crews and safeguards to go to PRINCE EDWARD's famous bikini boutique ~ LEONARD and she bought 3-4 EXPENSIVE and STYLISH bikinis (maybe she will use them in her new PV coming up in JUNE)
after that, she then traveled to one of the most prevalent mall in Admiralty. SHe went inside to LANE CRAWFORD and bought a number of shoes and goods. The reporters asked her,"How many shoes did u buy this time?"
Ayumi answered with a smile" "Not much, just 20-30 pairs in a day!"

OMG, 20-30 pairs in just one day and within 30mins-.-~~~

(SOURCE: Appledaily HK)

all 3 pictures caught her with terrible faces hahaa.
Man I wish I had the funds to buy 30 pairs of NICE shoes in one day!!

she seemed quite exhausted.... did she had make up on her face..-.-???

thanks for sharing....

I think she didn't have much time to do some makeup

wew, JUST 20-30 pairs...lol...

I think Ayu's just ....saying it~ like... sarcastic~ XP but then again, who'd know haha~ cooL~ thank for the pics!

Thanks for sharing these!!

She looked so tired!

Wow,pics are so clear.Thank you for the post.

Damn, talk about shop till you drop.

must be nice to have so much disposable income. :shrug

I am so jealous about AYU having so much extravagant funds to buy so many things without comparing the prices.......
she is really my role model haah

she's surprisingly rich for an artist...imo anyway XD

Even richer than doctors and lawyers???? but why didn't she appears in the top affluent people chart of ASIA/world (PS: Bill Gates is the world's richest man ever)

Well, I think she never get the chance to shop around because of her busy and hectic life. So, this is a great opportunity for her to get what she wants.

Japanese people don't get sarcasms xD

I'm sure she likes shopping in HK since everything is probably cheaper than Japan...

*Remembers $250 on a pair of sneakers...yikes!*

this is just one of the examples, but i don't lknow why for us HK people thinks that japan is a cheaper place to shop conversely-.-.. why is this happening haha~?

She seriously looks sick in those pictures. =/ She needs a break.

wat man, that's my image of a wonderful woman ever.
I like all of her look, the more she sing the more beautiful she is.
30, she's gonna try them all in her Asia tour

I hope she enjoys the things she bought! I wish I had the money for shopping sprees like Ayu's.

i think she looks so tired..not full of smile like she did at taiwan...i don't know maybe just a bad shot moment

Well, it's not as bad as the people who buy like, a car every day LOL

We can only say shop til you drop, but Ayumi can't with all the money she owns! Hehe... I wanna see video of her shopping inside! It would be fun, i think!:D

The pictures don't look THAT bad, haha.

Thanks for posting~

XDDD She is so pooped out from shopping too hard in the 3rd pic. =p

Ayu looks VERY tired, i wanna see vids of Ayu shopping

i tot she already spent 500k when she went for confession of pain premier !!
hahaha
how much did she spend in taiwan ?

anyway
500k can buy a lambo / aston martin
wat a waste she wasted on clothing -_-

for us gals, clothing is everything~~~~~~this is the only way to make us confident and pretty^^

Girls love shopping. I'd do the same if I was so rich

thanks for the pics!! I would like going shopping like that too!

gay guys also love shopping, like me XD

and she looks fine in those pictures

but damn ... i wish i had that kind of money.

she looks tired obviously probably of all the medias.. but $500k HKD in 30mins is very scary...

Ayu has alot of money mainly because she writes all her songs herself meaning she gets not only a performing royalty but a song writing royalty and if it's a CREA song she also gets a composition royalty. SO everytime a single is sold or played that's a CREA song Ayu is getting three times as much as your average singer would who just goes into the studio and sing. Oh and touring would be a huge income for her as she tours every year and I imagine Ayu is receiving at least a million dollars for each stop on her Asian tour this year.

wow....how i wish i can say sth like her~like "I had just bought "only" 20-30 jeans today"sth like this~lol

^good point there

:( ayu looks tired.. why!! jus look at the photos of her in taiwan. she can make funny faces and play with cameras.. she looks haggard here.. especially in the photo of her sitting on the sofa.........

thansk for the pics though!!

She has that same, vacant expression in every picture lololol
She is still beautiful thought :D
I wish I could go on shopping sprees like that!!!

Yea but when she earns like 20.000.000 yen in a year or something (just a random large sum), it's really only $168,648, and that amount of money goes by quickly on large shopping sprees like the ones she goes on :yes

i don't think she looks terrible, but she is sure tired...

Wow...

Thanks for sharing! :)

lol, and shallow... :P

Please, you make me loose faith in the gay nation :thud

Well it would seem it is that way, but we don't know that for sure. We can only speculate what kind of contract she has with Avex, how much do they pay her and how exactly does she profit from the work she does.

I seriously doubt she'd be recieving a million USD per every stop in Asia - even worldwide performers get up to few hundred thousand per a stop. There is a lot of logistics involved in bringing a show overseas and even if the tour overall gross is super high, there are also expenses.

She resembles the same fatigue and poses as Nicole Richie haha. Wow... such a diva... a bit too much, a bit of a turn off... go buy some food for the kids in China Ayu!

wow the first pic looks wierd...Ayu looks tired and 20-30 shoes!! Must be great being rich and Ayu!! ^^
Arigatou for the pics!! ^^

she looks really tired^^ thx

pity her... she really need some rest

i just couldnt agree more.
the money can have better use in my opinion :yes

thanks for those pics, and the article!

Thanks for the news but I like to see more ayu's pixs in the HK airport!

She needs treatment. Or should at least spend some of that money investing on her career. :laugh
I love shopping though XD

LOL at least cars are infinitely much more useful.:dead2

she looks high in the sitting down picture, or like she's about to vomit. :shrug

maybe all her shopping is tiring her out.

thanks for the info.

btw , 500 000 Hong Kong dollars is about 60 000 US dollars.

able to spend 60 000 US dollars in a blink of eye must means shes really rich.
i wish i had that much XD

Freakin no wonder she needs so much Louis Vuitton cases - to bring all that junk back to Japan...:thud

oh what are you saying? They pollute and couse lack of movement in humans... shoes are definately more useful and more healthy :innocent

rotfl, hilarious post :laugh

well, if we happen to be in ayu position (will never happen!), we might be want to fulfill our hobbies, and with all that money we surely could buy or do whatever we interested in life.
for ayu, shopping for some latest hifashion-clothes is one of her interest in life.
thx for the info, is there any video about ayu shopping in hk?

THE GREATEST TOUR
ayumi hamasaki ASIA TOUR 2007 A ~Tour of Secret~
HUGE SUCCESS at TAIWAN!!!!!!
NEXT STOP IS HONGKONG ON APRIL 7th!!!
LET'S SUPPORT AYU!!!

Gosh, and she keeps talking to us about all those wings, fireworks, loves, tears and sadness :shakehead

Woah that much. She sure loves to shop bless her XD.

fortunately, I think name-dropping designer labels is so tacky. Imagine if Ayu started doing that lol

These shoes are 300 dollars.

Let's get 'em!

Looks like Kelly has her next celeb cameo picked out! :yes

she is terribly tired of that what i can see ... -.-

...Can people stop saying "she should go and rest""she needs to sleep"
Shes in Hong Kong for a reason. To do the tour.
WOuld you rather her sleep 12 hours then do her tour.
Choose:
1.Let Ayumi sleep and have her NOT perform at all.
2.Let Ayumi do what she wants and have per perform.
Shes in Hong Kong to do business. If she went to sleep, she would lose media coverage.

Ive seen nicer HK photos of her of her arrival and shopping. Those are just the not so good ones out of them.

More pics here: (26 pics!)

Shopping situation gets fired up again! Thanks for sharing.

Holy crap..... 20-30 pairs! Ahhh~ She must wear like all her shoes only once then.
As of make up, I can tell that she has very modicum makeup on, just eye liner.

She sure is a fast shopper then! Haha

ROFL~ Looks like she's thinking, "I'mma 'bout to fall asleep waiting for mah shoes~" :grumpy

sounds exciting but she's looking rough

lol diva life again :D

i wish i had that kind of money but that ugly photos :grumpy

Haha, that picture is great, she looks so bored :laugh

Wondering how much of that shoes she won't use ;D

LOL definitely, because girls in high heels often compete in marathons, go jogging and do all those healthy stuff right? Plus high heels really prevent them from having back problems later in life, and they aren't really a cause of ankle spraining, huh? :laugh Much more healthier....As if...:innocent You can wear sneakers (which ayu most likely isn't buying) to drive your car and go to the closest jogging circuit but you can't go jogging with high heels or platforms :laugh

Her face is not of a tired woman, but from an OC woman instead. She's just looking at the shoes and wondering how longer will it take for those pairs to finally be on her wardrobe :laugh

Oh gosh! would love to buy so much shoes in a day!!!
thnks for sharing!!!

I'd travel and shop like crazy if I were rich too, so... I see nothing bad about that. :D

ayu does need a cooler haircut and hair color though. The one she has nowmakes her loook very old, not to mention, it looks terrible :dead2

The face is lol :D And her legs haha, she`s supposed to be elegant!! XD Kiddin, impossible for Ayu :P

Ayu looks bored in that one picture where she is just sitting down haha. I wish I was as rich as her so I could buy so much crap and never care! o_o

it's so interesting and amazing. I can't imagine how rich she is. I bet that she will touch those shoes for once time ;P

i can't imagine how rich she is. I bet that she will touch those shoes for just one time ;)
