Ayu stole my cushions from my breakfast nook to have that dress made! >.<
Seriously.. It's the SAME pattern..

.. dont try and look like a picnic table ayu.. please.. or my breakfast nook.. because I think you'd break if my kids sad on you... but it wont.. :P

... now if anyone took that at all TOO seriously..
CHILL. OUT.

wowo thks for the nice pics..

Aw that was sad. The video stated that fans waited at the airport but they did not get to see Ayu as she and her crew went through a private exit. They showed a little of Jennier Lopez stating that many big stars will exit from the airport where by the fans will get to see them but to many disappointment, ayu did not do so in China. They went on and talked about Ayu's open and friendly behaviour in Hong Kong and then the video suddenly stopped playing for me >_<

ayu looks so good in those clothes!

The video says that she left for a temple to seek blessings for her upcoming concert.

Arigatou for the pics!! ^^ I wish I could have gone to Shanghai now...

thanks for the news, i'm sad fot the chinese fan who came to the airport...

Thank you very much!!! I hope we have more pictures!

Ayu wearing an outfit I don't like is pretty rare, but I really hope this will be the only appearance that red/white dress makes.

thanks for sharing these pics!!! =)

She looks smoking hot.

She looks gorgeous :)
Thanks for posting~

i think her dress is pretty nice...

tnx for the pics =D

thanks!!! not a big fan of the dress :(

Been waiting for some pics. Thank you very much! She looks great as always :)

Ow. Thanks, really nice pics. :)

ugh...ayu has never looked so horrible as she is in these puictures :no

Wow...already? Thanks for the info! And the pictures of course!

Haha, so true about the table thing :D Anyway, thanks for the pics :)

she look like very tired T__T

Look her face expression but sorry Ayu that dress has to go.

i think the dress is cute... but yeah, it wouldn't wear something like that tho... but ayu looks good in anything...

thanks for the pictures... and honestly, i hope she changed her hairstyle after the tour... i hate her hair now...

she does look good with the dress... which mean she makes the dress pretty.

However, the dress itself is not pretty.. know what i mean?

Ayu always looks good in casual dresses... LOVEEEE her...

I'm not digging her dress:dead2

thanks for sharing the pictures!
ohhh that lucky fan getting ayu's autograph >.<"

she looks like she's having a lot of fun

I like that top of her :/~ XD

:wave Hello Picnic Table! o.o Oh wait, that's Ayu. xD

Ayu looks so cute~

thanks for the pics!

one of her bodyguards is hot.

which bodyguard is hot then? :P

http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/...4m_93b525b.jpg


i like this one, he looks like an actor. :D

some of them look like thugs or yakuzas... I wonder where she hired them?! I couldn't find this one guy that was with her in Hong Kong, who caught my eye. Haha, she is such a pimp!

yes, Ayu is such a pimp, she "accidently" trips and then hugs the security gaurds. :love

Holy...I'm surprised that monstrosity of a dress even managed to make it to a mannequin. Where's the fashion police when you need them? :laugh

Thanks for the pics anyway!

LOL @ all the bashing of her dress :)~

Here is my opinion: I think in many parts of Asia... generic, common western patterns (such as that red plaid/checker what-chu-ma-call-it pattern) is actually considered pretty fresh! Vice versa for the west--generic Asian patterns, which may be considered lame and ugly, are used in interior decor and fashion! I don't know, but to me, I like the pattern. I just think the bottom looks kind of frumpy :).

The poor girl looks so tired, but I love her dress! Thanks for the pictures. =P

Thanks for sharing the info and pics to here!

Haha! Well, fresh or not, I still think it's ugly, even on her. XD (Seriously, in some of the first pics, her hair + the dress make her look really...orange, lol)

Although I think I love her facial expressions more than anything else.

oh, by the way, it sorta reminds me something...

in my personal observation: i notice quite a number of my chinese friends who like to dress up in that kinda manner, i m not sure what style it is called... something like back to the old fashion thingy... i think its a trend in china?? nah~ common people, stop bashing her clothes... she is just trying to be friendly to the chinese =D

I wonder why she went to the private exit for? I thought she is close to her fans.

oh my god.
(cringes) i know where she is in those pictures. i was there...two years ago.
[curses bad timing].

Ouch, that sucks. At least you were in the same place the Ayu was?:tipsy

I actually quite like the dress...Ive been seeing similar dress in a few stores...I think its one of the trends. One time I almost bought a blue version of that.

I loveeeeeee the dress :) She looks cute.

Thanks for the pictures!

Ayu looks great!!!
Thanks for the pics

In that case we all can go to Louis Vitton and Gucchi shops around the world and say "ayu once shopped here! omg!"


I stlll think that the dress looks good ^_^.

haha. the place where the pictures of her taken is actually in this one area of shanghai that has traditional-styled shops and an amazing fish pond. i love that place, and when i go back in a month, i'm going to find that exact same spot that where ayu is standing :P

So sick of that hair!

but im not sure why... she look abit old nowadays~ ^^ may b its a process of growing =p

She looks tired, she's been very tired of those tabloids in HK i think. Hope it won't affect her performance, then she can relax!

my thoughts. you can see her tiredness even through the thick make up.

the dress isnt horrible, but someone send her a stylist for that hair, zomg.

I wonder why too. I was kinda surprised most were commenting on her dress instead of that, lols.

ayu looks radiant and energized as always!! Hope the concert in shanghai will be a success!! :)

that sux she went out the privat exit and ppl didn't get to see her. i'd be upset... but then I think maybe Ayu was tired or not feeling well and didn't feel like be bombarded by ppl asking for autographs and screaming "AYUUUUUU!!!"

SANSPO has an article up about her press conference (LINK)

so it proves again that this type of chinese dress really fits one's body :P.

Thanks for the pic :D

Here are some more pics found at ayu newsgroup:

(I think the dress "opening part" is a bit too high....)

^wow she looks so sexy
i agree that the opening part is really high..even we can see her ass..haha
but ayu is ayu...she is comfortable with it..so she wear it

ayu looks weird, not like she use to on her photoshoots.. the fifth picture she looks plastic.

Ayu looks HOT in the red dress!

it should be designed for her..
this type of Chinese dress must fit the body precisely, meaning that it must be exactly her size in order to fit in.

Makes me wonder why she wants such a high opening...

Thank you very much!

o.o That is one high slit.

seriously, that's exactly what i thought when i saw the pics.

I just read some comments on chinese newsgroup... Most people love this "breakfast" dress so much... So I guess someone mentioned above was rite, Asian people have different fashion sense.

She's got nice legs so it's a pretty good idea to show them off :P

wooooooow i love the cheongsam cut. sooo dang sexy. not a lot of girls can pull it off.

Thanks for the pics! :D

cheong sam's opening are meant to be that high, always... (only when u have a pair of ugly fat legs, then u lower down the opening.

she looks sooooo fair in the first photo and pretty in the rest except the 5th T__T

heh, Ayu bares all

i don't like that pattern at all!!!

but she looks better than in the cpnference pics, althought she is tired...


edit - ooh, i have just seen the conference pics added here, the pics are nice! but... the cut is exaggerated!

she looks extremely pretty on that cheongsam!

Thank U so much!

thank you)
I like how she looks

10x for sharing :)

Domou arigatou !!!
that guy is very lucky, being the only one getting ayu's sign in his Secret CD.
