Ayu's Kimono in AT07
 
Hey guys!

I love the kimono she is wearing during "part of Me" and "Secret" performances. Do you know if it's a kimono made for the tour, or if it's buyable? Or maybe you guys know a shop which sells kimonos that look like this one.
I always wanted a kimono, even if I am a boy. I can adapt it for my size, because I know that the one Ayu is wearing is a woman one.

So, any informations? Thanks!

I think it is tailored for her.

Her tour outfits are always made specifically for her, so there's only that one kimono.

Mari-chan 27th August 2008 07:38 PM

I think, it is a Touroutfit.. so it is made for the tour. I don't think, you can buy it. And.. if it would be possible.. I think, it would be very expensive.

Hazuki 27th August 2008 07:41 PM

It can be custom made or self-made.
But obviously custom clothes are expensive..~
Maybe you can find a similar, maybe not 100%, but similar.

Material Boy 27th August 2008 07:50 PM

Even if it's not the same, it doesn't matter. I like the way it's made, it's big, you know what I mean? so, if you know a store which has kimonos made like this one, even if drawings aren't the same, it doesn't matter... Dunno if I managed to say it correctly XD

Hazuki 27th August 2008 07:53 PM

Oh! You wanted a kimono with a similar shape to Ayu's one,
but not the design or colour.
I think if you search the internet, then kimonos will be easy to find :yes
I don't have any sites for it though :(

Material Boy 27th August 2008 07:56 PM

Yeah, Hazuki, tou're perfect <3 I think that the word I was looking for was "shape" XDD So yes, that's that kind of kimono that I want *_*

Hazuki 27th August 2008 08:17 PM

Keke.. ^^;;

I think Ayu's kimono looks bigger because she might have more layers,
the material might be thicker and the placement also makes it look bigger.

I was comparing Ayu's with a normal kimono

See at the bottom part of Ayu's body? It seems they wrap more around there,
and the bottom is open, so that will change the shape.

You can do this too with a normal, cotton kimono,
you'll just have to layer in a certain way ^^;
Now it's just to find a kimono~ *0*

I hope this helps.. XD

Material Boy 27th August 2008 08:20 PM

Yes, it helps a lot! Thank you again!
As you said, I have to find the kimono now XD

Ayu's kimono is one of those special kinds.. it has a name.. it's called a "juunihitoe" or something, which means like 12 layers or something.

It's some sort of royal-like garment so.. it could cost a LOT if you want to get one..

Lee_410 28th August 2008 04:37 AM

^12 LAYERS!?

That must be heavy.

pommy48 28th August 2008 04:40 AM

doesn't regular kimono cost a lot @_@

so what are yukata? is that what ayu is wearing..or something?

truehappiness 28th August 2008 04:56 AM

She's basically wearing 12 layers of kimono.. [at least this is according to the juunihitoe description I saw during a part of Me making of..]

http://www011.upp.so-net.ne.jp/yuusoku/jnh/jnh.html
It's scary how many layers there are.

pommy48 28th August 2008 04:58 AM

omg...just think of how heavy it is!! i'm surprised ayu can still stand, and not fall down~

truehappiness 28th August 2008 05:02 AM

It's encrusted with rhinestones apparently. [she talked about how much it added to the weight of the dress in total.. but that the jewels didn't show up or something?]

The total weight was around 20kg, which in pounds is around 44.09lbs. That's like a small 6-10 year old child..

pommy48 28th August 2008 05:07 AM

..20kg @_@..omg @_@ that's ridiculous!
ah~ now i see, when ayu moved so slowly during the 2 performances, it's not that she want to or not, it's that she can't~

A Yukata Is Basically A Kimono But Lighter. They Are Made Out of Cotton Instead Of Silk Or Other Heavier Fabrics. They Are Worn During The Summer And Also While People Are At Traditional Japanese Inns.




20 KG!! That Is Really Heavy OMG. That Is Like Half Of Her :dead2

Ah,I now get why she wasn't moving that much...

you should know that there's a HUGE diference in male and female kimonos.

this is a female kimono, not one for guys.
there are a bit less versions of male kimonos, but there are ones as big as this one, but you shouldn't expect to find one that'll have the same shape as hers.

you can have it with 12 layers (or something like that, maybe a few layers less), but it won't have such long sleeves.
the sleeves might the biggest diference between male and female kimonos.

i just tought that you should know that:D
