[2005] Do Ayumi and Namie hate each other?
 

D: I really hope this rumor isn't true. Two of my favorite JPop stars having some sort of hostility toward each other? The mere idea! :faints:

Sorry for being so melodramatic. Still, I hope that they don't hate each other. D:

o_o

I doubt it...

Tabloids say yes to anything negative, however according to a pseudo-recent Music Station that had Namie, Ayumi, and BoA all on, Namie and BoA were smiling and laughing in reaction to Ayumi's talk with the hosts.

I saw that reaction to BoA and Nmie too! I do hope it wasn't an act...

They say that hostility comes from Ayu supposedly taking the Pop Queen status away from Namie in the 2000's... I haven't heard of any arguments or bad sayings though

well, from what i heard, Namie refers to Ayu as "the make up monster" and Ayu refers to Namie as "the monkey" or something because she was in that Supermonkey group. of course, i heard this years ago and i don't know if its true.

Why would them? I don't think they do. I think both are nice people.

Yep The "Makeup Monster" and "Monkey" article was up here a couple months ago. I think it's pretty cool that they don't like eachother xD

why's it cool? :yconfused

^ yea I dont think it is cool to have this sort of rivalry and certainly creates some additional pressure.
I would love to see them get along :)

Just like Utada + Ayumi = Yessss...

lol

anyone know where to get this said Music Station?

That was from a tabloid. From what I see Ayu and Namie seem to get along. Although I'm not sure if they are friends or not.

I thought that the "hostility" between ayu and utada was between fanbases, never the two of them. At least Utada praised ayu in an american interview, stating that she respected her a lot.

I watched that whole episode and don't know if you noticed but even though Namie and Boa talked to each other (while others were talking), neither of them talked to Ayumi (and Ayumi was sitting next to Boa). While I don't think there are hard feelings amongst them, Ayumi seems more standoffish. Like, she won't talk to them unless someone initiates it (Tamori, etc). In the clip of Ayumi and Koda Kumi at the Mr. & Mrs. Smith premiere, Koda seemed like she wanted to say something to Ayumi and kept looking over at her but Ayumi didn't reciprocate.

Heard alot of rumours about Ayu's "hostility" towards other artists.
Example of her "hostility" towards Mika Nakashima lol:

^hahaha what a funny picture :P
the only thing missing is steam coming out of their ears
but it looks still so cute hahaha sry

They still hate each other XD

I also noticed that, Koda seemed as though she kept looking at Ayumi and as though they were going to talk. But Ayumi either saw her and kept looking forward, or just kept staring at the man. She seems kind of um...Untalkative to them. And really I'm sure BoA likes Ayumi, and Namie too....or else they wouldn't have done ayumi's ayuready?! show.

I think Ayumi should talkkk to them more. I wish she had talked to Kumi when she wanted to talk. She kept staring, hey hey hey.

I also felt bored and decided to take caps of Ayumi's talking abilitiesss :o

Movie beginsss....

i think its all fan-based, what was that thing a couple of months ago that was supposedly a feud between Ayu and Namie? I heard that one of them took one side and the other took another side and it involved some rappers...

:D hahaha

that's funny where did you get teh pics from??

anyways I don't think any of them (Amuro, BoA, Hamasaki, Koda) calls each other names in public (for the tabloids to hear) but there's no doubt competition going on. I mean, they belong to the same company which only makes it worse.

Right now Ayu is almost in Namie's shoes seeing how in Japan people are hailing Koda as the next J-pop queen so I can understand if Ayu at least doesn't feel like warming up to Koda.
