Ayu's Kimono in AT07

[Material Boy]

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.

[zoomzoom]

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

[Mari-chan]

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]

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]

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]

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
I don't have any sites for it though

[Material Boy]

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]

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

Hey!! Thank you very much for your idea!!!
The shapes and the designs of ayu's kimono are one of my favorite styles!!

[Material Boy]

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

[truehappiness]

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..

^12 LAYERS!?

That must be heavy.

[pommy48]

doesn't regular kimono cost a lot @_@

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

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

[truehappiness]

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..]

It's scary how many layers there are.

[pommy48]

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

[truehappiness]

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..

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

[pommy48]

..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~
