Random Ayu sightings!

[Corybobory]

Have you been in an odd or unexpected place where you suddenly saw Ayu? How about Ikea? I was walking around looking at the showrooms (becasue I looooove Ikea) and there was this computer with a fake screen, and someone made a Ayu screen And on the post-board on the wall there were pictures of Ayu covering it too! I was quite unexpected. My boyfriend noticed it first, and he's like "Hey Cory, there's Hama Hamasaki"

Lol!
No, unfortunately I've never seen pictures or anything for that matter of Ayumi here in Holland...

OMG. That is hilarious and so fortunate of you! I have never seen Ayu anywhere else but online. BUT I had a dream I was at the supermarket with my family and then all of a sudden the supermarket music changes to something familiar, and then I freak 'cause it was A Song for XX!!!! And I grab my sister's arm and tell her, "they're playing it! they're playing ayu!!!"

it was disappointing when i woke up because i realized it was just a dream....

i've seen ayu's mechandise in some chinese malls before...
sometimes i hear them play "dearest" at some chinese stores, because inuyasha is popular.
whenever i hear ayu and see ayu, i always grin, and that brightens my day up!

oh darn never happened to me b4....

oh yeah!!! i remember i was walking around the city and my friend told me she saw an Ayumi picture, i pretended to be not so interested so i just said "where?" and i saw it, it was a tiny picture of Ayu outta 100 of them that was paste outside on the wall of an Asian dance club, and i just said to my friend "oh ok it's typical, Ayu is popular"

Asian sororities will randomly use Ayumi's pictures on their flyers but other than that, I haven't seen any Ayumi goods in out of the ordinary places.

ayu is one of the favourite person they put onto computer screens that are on display in shops in hong kong. the other girl who is popularly put onto the screen are matsuura aya

[RAISKA]

Oh! I saw a girl in my town with a packet, with Ayu picture! I was surprised!

[jojo-chen]

I ever see ayu poster in a music store, when I see it, I really want to ask the cashier "can I bring it home?", the cashier said it's for a bonus, so I buy "MY STORY" and got it. I ever saw "ourselves" video in a cafe.. and I ever heard "Moments" in a Japanese stuffs shop in my city..

My friend once told me that she saw an Ayu pin in an accessories shop. At first I couldn't believe her and assumed that she must have mistook her for someone else. But later I went there and saw it myself! It was really Ayu! It was the cover of Boys & Girls. That was the one and only Ayu merchandise I bought from my country

[Gunblitze]

Sadly....nowhere

[~*Mabushii*~]

Sadly no.. I don't live anyplace far cool enough for anthing Ayu.. .. well I did see Ayu CD's in that music/book shop in Uwajimaya.. but that's in Seattle (across state from me..).. and that's only because they sell that type of stuff there (.. Uwajimaya was the only reason I went to Seattle that visit.. I needed a Japanese snack fix..)

Funny you mention that! I was in LA when she was shooting INSPIRE, but I wasn't in that part of L.A., my brothers were. They were like "we saw this movie being shot," but I didn't think nothing of it. Then I heard INSPIRE was shot in L.A. & when I bought the single my brother was like "That was what we saw them filming! If I was with my brothers I would have seen the making of INSPIRE!

This girl on wfl forums said that her mom once massaged Ayu & her body guards in Hawaii. She gave her mom the single "Seasons" which was the single released then. It wasn't until she was older that she became a fan and wished she could've met Ayu. Well...at least her mom did!

Dearest, Voyage and Dolls have been played in the stupid anime store that sells J-pop bootlegs. I saw their nice photocopied-so-fake-looking-to-a-wise-J-pop-buyer-bootleg copies of 'A BALLADS' they must have been playing those songs off of...*grumpy*

In Singapore here, it is not shocking or rare to see Ayu sightings heh. My Japanese teacher uses Ayu and Hideaki Takizawa pics to teach us Japanese conversations.

The Ayu-mi-x III (NSMM Ver) cover used in a poster on the streets for a nightclub. (Probably some Asian nightclub)

[gakkun]

Outside some Asian/Japanese hair salon. They had the poster of RAINBOW the album plastered on the window. Now THAT would be a spiffy hairstyle.
