Kouhaku dress vs Countdown live dress
 

Some ppl here thought both the kouhaku and the cdl dress was the same but just the bottom part was different and some even thought they were completely the same.

well....they are completely different even though they are indeed similar. I personally prefer the kouhaku dress more. Very beautiful! The cdl one reminds me of JEWEL pv but with straps.

Kouhaku :yes

I don't really like the Ballerina style thing...

omg they are different!
I don't like how the CDL dress shows her feet the length of the dress is just weird.

kouhaku, definetely!

again, there's the thing... why does she feature better in un-A-produced stuff (i mean, mag shots, costumes...) an when it comes to calendar, for example, it ********

but we have to keep in midn that i nthe cdl she has not many time, so perhaps, using the kouhaku dress meant a lot of time!

Umm, i love both.

soo they are different...i tot the top was the same design, guess not...Love both :P

I think I prefer the Kouhaku dress, it looks more sophisticated and oscarQUE in my opinion.

These dresses are really very different. I also prefer the one, she wears at Kouhaku. That is such a beautiful dress.
I also don't like the lenght of the CDL-Dress. If it would be as long as the other dress, it also would be nicer.

kouhaku :)

I think the skirts of both are nice, but I rea~lly don't like the top. It crunches her :( So I guess... I like the bottom halves of both, haha.

I like the two dresses! I would like to have one of them but I think that I don't have the money to buy it! :no

Ayu is so kawaii :yes

I like both, but for the Concert, she needs to walk so... I guess she had to use that shorter length is suppose~

the kohaku one...
but with some changes... the CDL material in the skirt 'cause looks more fine than the other... o_O ... large...

Good Lord, are you serious? :laugh

Well, okay, I prefer the CDL dress. :)

yeee i hate the cdl one~

i like both of the.
they look similir outfut..but kiuhaku is better

i like the one on Kouhaku more.. the one for the CDL looks somewhat like Ballerina... but its too long to be one.. neither here nor there... i didnt like it.

I like both, but I like the Kouhaku dress better. :)

I Like The Kouhaku Dress Much Better. The CDL One Makes Her Look Extremely Short.

I like the Kohaku one better. CDL would be nice if it was longer.

^ Yea, the CDL one would definitely look better if was longer. And a looks slightly costume-ish imho. I like the Kouhaku one more.

The CDL one would've looked better if it were placed lower on her waist, but being so high, it looked strange. :|

Oh well. :)

the kohaku one looked nice....

the concert one looked cheap ^_^

:irked

if i'm the one who purposely give out negative comments..

i'll go 'both looked crap, she is wearing the same or thing for years and years?'

but i'm just giving my honest and true feeling when i saw the pics..

the kohaku one really looked more elegant while the concert one looked like a big cotton mess that she dragged out of her storeroom... maybe she used that before in her previous concerts right?

me too, three, four , five , six :P :P

I like the Kouhaku one more.

I prefer Kouhaku dress...more elegant!!

i like the kouhaku one better.

If Ayu's hair was long and black / dark brown, and she had bangs, and if she wore some cute heels, I would like the CDL one better LOL :heart

So yeah....I prefer Kouhaku :yes

Kouhaku
gorgeous dress *_*

wow..i thought its the same dress...i prefer kouhaku...but maybe its too heavy to walk with it, so ayu change it with her CDL 07-08 dress

I like both :D

Ooh I definetly like the Kouhaku dress better! ^^

I like the Countdown one more! It's cute how it's shorter :D

Maybe I just watch too much Sex & the City or something, but the CDL dress actually looks wearable outside of concert. You would be hard-pressed to find someone wearing something like the Kouhaku dress at a party or something.

KOUHAKU!! From CDL looks so cheap! Eww... BAD balerina style :/ The top part is too weird..

countdown! :D i like the ballerina-esque style :D

anyway, something wrong on the ballet-type of skirt that she wore for CDL one..
did you guys notice something wrong?
at the back of the skirt...maybe when Ayu was wearing it quickly, the staff has not yet finished to tidy down the skirt then Ayu should rush to the stage to perform..
know what i mean?
maybe i should make a screencap of what i'm trying to say?

but overally, i love both styles..
i love the way ayu walking down, she was doing a ballerina walking style..love it :)

just saw the pics on the first page..
the dresses are not looked the same..just the style looked the same..but not with the pattern!!!!
i thought that the only different is the skirt..but then, both are not the same...
