Ayu's social networks - Discussion #43

[Andrenekoi]

^I don't think his next significant others would like to see his ex tattoed on him... Removing the tattoo doesn't mean they are in bad terms or aren't keeping in touch.

[dreamalley]

Removing such a large tattoo must have been such a hassle.

[Evan Odinson]

They were cute together, maybe as some said, if she dated a japanese man, specially an artist as well the relationship could work better, since they probably will think likewise and have more similars points of views, but then again is just a suposition, it could be the other way around as well, idk single or not, foreign partner or not, I just want her to be happy, her personal life and choices are of her own, but yeah 7 years is a lot, maybe not in touch but I hope they are in good terms, I'm sure they have so many good memories and I really liked them as a couple

There was a weird little sound, some giggling, and I remember ayu giving a real annoyed look in his direction.

Is it the same episode that Utada performed Passion?

It's a ranking of people in those age groups, which female artists they remember. Pretty likely were asked to name female artists they know. Not who they listen to. But I don't know, why there are gaps - there shouldn't be in a ranking. Plus it's sadly not mentioned from which show this is.

Btw. there are age rankings for every artist on the karaoke sites. And you can see there, that all big female artists have a significant amount of people singing their songs in Karaoke from all age groups. That's pretty much the reason, why they got big.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. It's good that they remember Ayu the most, though, but a little sad that they still don't listen to her... at all. It's funny how Namie is farther down in the list but she's still a top-seller.

[Andrenekoi]

So, Ayu is pretty much the only one topping 2 generations? And she also appears on 3 diferent generation rankings? Thats good.

Is this recent? I mean, I guess it is considering Kana Nishino appeared on the 20s.

Phew thanks, I'm just a bit worried I'll miss her again!

I like her hair, it reminds me of WARNING @ Made in Tokyo!

[!Lawi!]

Is it normal not to have any news from a pontential 2017 tour at this point? I never paid attention before to when she announces it but I'll be moving to Tokyo for 3 months in April and I'm getting a bit anxious that I will miss her, I've never seen her live after 11 years+ of being a fan x)

[Machiko]

Tomoya, according to my friend who's a major TOKIO fan and follows their private social media, still had the A tattoo, but without the wings, in 2014-2015.

[Aderianu]

ayu's first visit to ROI and esNAIL salons at 2017

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

New hair?? :-D

[Aderianu]

seems her hair really short now

[Andrenekoi]

Well, Ayu has a far stronger iconography than Namie, and this makes her kinda easier to remember.

[Corvina]

Probably. But interesting note, the poster of that chart wondered as well, why Namie Amuro didn't "win" in any of these categories. So it happens with Japanese as well.
And well, it all depends on who and how many you're asking anyway.

[melissalove]

And the namie ayu comparison starts in 3,2,1
