They don't hate each other and they aren't BBF...

[AyUta]

[everlastingRAINBOW]

I heard they scissored one time...


I don't think they're close friends, but aren't hitomi and Ayu close?

[jean-baptiste]

^LMAO that's hilarious. xD

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

LOL. They're on the same label, avex trax... so I think they only have casual relationship, not best friend, but oh well, who knows more? LOL

I want to see Ayu's concert where Namie watched it!
Did the cameraman record Namie's face too?

[Andrenekoi]

^Namie watched all of her tours since 2007 if I'm not wrong
but usually she goes on the first date, and Ayu records the last

Apparently that's how Ayu's song "M" came about. Hitomi is a devout Christian, and one time they were having a chat and Hitomi told Ayu a story about the Virgin Mary and her experiences or something, which is how "M" came about. I don't know this for sure though, but it is a sweet story.

[PEARL]

i think they must be friends but not close since they are in the same company...

i thought namie is abit r&b/ hip-hop?
so it shouldn't be her trying to take over ayu's 'crown'...?

[AngelSenshi]

I don't think they hate each other at all, though I don't think they're best of friends either. They're just label mates so it's probably just a casual relationship.

I don't really think they have any real reason to hate each other anyway.

As for Namie apparently wanting to take Ayu's title as 'Queen' that title is securely in Ayu's hands, in any case Namie surely isn't the right person to be going after that title, or at least I think so.

[Cherry Dynamite]

Namie is already a Queen though. xD

[RikkuChii]

Well, technically..

..Ayu's the "Empress of J-pop" & Namie's the "Queen of J-pop"

[non3ko]

^That's how I remember it. I don't know where Queen came from all of a sudden, but...


I don't think they're enemies, I've never heard them say anything negative towards each other. Plus, Ayu spoke highly of Namie in an interview.

[jessy]

It is said that namie said“Ayu is an excellent singer and artist and though we’re both not mature enough，she is a good competitor." I have read an aticle about this on sohu.com.
