Question Ayu clone? (includes merged Minori threads)

Who is she? Her fullname Atsuko Kubota... Ayu called her Minori. In Arena 2002 and Stadium 2002, she was given a special introduction by Ayu.

Minori is ayu's "stand in".
Basically, ayu's double. She disguises herself as ayu for certain reasons.
If you watch making of Uraayu, they used Minori to distract the paparrazi so ayu could leave.
She was also the second ayu for the A BALLADS photoshoot, and in the RAINBOW PV.

Woah really?! ....ooh! I just looked at my A Ballads booklet picture...XD!! I would have never guessed it was another person!...then i saw the difference in the picture where Minori's eyes are open that's awsome that she looks so similar to Ayu...

^ Oh no no, Minori's body was used so it would look more realistic.
But it's all ayu in the end.
Minori really doesn't look like ayu, but their body structures are the same.

that's BRILLIANT! gosh, i never knew, thanks for the info...

oh btw, about her as the second-ayu in RAINBOW PV & A BALLADS, i don't think they're really that similar [based on what i saw in ARENA 2002 & DOME 2001], Minori's face are wayy different compare to hamasaki's...

Now that is interesting u1ra0ay2u, cool info.

I expect 'Minori' has her own set of fans too!

Neither I guess...
She only participate in the PV of RAINBOW not the A BALLADS album...
I think they use they same way of making ayu-mi-x II for making A BALLADS

They only used her as a "dummy" and later I'm guessing they photoshopped (or whatever other editing program) ayu's face in, but the faces for A BALLADS/RAINBOW are both ayu.
If they had done it without another person there, it wouldn't have looked as realistic.

I have some photos of the making of RAINBOW, but I'll have to dig it out somewhere amongst the million pictures I have of ayu.

Doubles?

Does Ayu have doubles (as in someone that looks kinda like her) fill in for her during concerts? Like that one concert... I think it was Arena Tour 2002, during the opening run dance- that wasn't Ayu, was it?

Yes, one named "Minori" that was used in the A BALLADS photoshoot and Rainbow PV, and as a distraction for paparrazzi's...There was a topic about this not a while ago that had the topic title "Minori" in this forum. Hope this helps.
