ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2013-2014 A goods

[toniayu]

OMG,I want it so badly!!! I Wish I could buy it

[kinix]

Fully man made clay ayupan. From the picture, the size is slightly bigger than the Sega ayuapns! Should be ard 5inches tall (>.< no place for it)

[truehappiness]

Looks like the horse daruma sold out extremely fast!

[ayuuk]

Daruma is always popular. So Japanese just place it at home as a decorative item?

I guess you know what's the purpose of Daruma? I guess they'd buy one for New Year anyway, so instead of a traditional one they get Ayu-style one, I still have mine back from 2005, unfortunately, still with only one eye

[tiffanytgs]

Btw the horse ayupan is slightly bigger den the usual size too xD juz gt mine today! Lucky they didnt sell as fast as the daruma

Eh what's the purpose of daruma??

[truehappiness]

It's a good luck charm for the year. Usually the eyes are blank though to fill them in at the beginning/end of the year or something to make a wish, but this one has them filled in since it's a bit of a novelty item. I still want one, haha.

[SKYia]

haha, didn't realize it has filled eyes, then I don't know why they would buy them beside collecting an Ayu item, and yeah, basically you draw one eye making a wish and them if the wish is fullfilled (doesn't matter when) you 'thank Daruma' by drawing the other eye.

Won chopsticks on yahoo ^^ can´t wait to get them, they are so pink *_*

[rainbow_smile]

^ Wow! Congratulations! How much did you get them for? *.*

[~angel*ayumi~]

1100 Yen ^^

[rainbow_smile]

Woah, that's not too expensive! I wish I could get these as well .__.

[~angel*ayumi~]

As expected the Clay Ayupan is sold out allready ^^

[Earth_maiden]

If you go to any temples around the new year in Japan you can buy a regular daruma for 300-500 yen or so. I know its all special because its Ayu merchandise, but honestly I wouldn't waste my money on an Ayu themed daruma. Especially one that already has both eyes filled in, what's the point of that?

[truehappiness]

It's just a cute collector's item. I don't think people would use the Horse Daruma for anything other than display for the year/New Year.

Well if I bought an Ayu daruma I certainly wouldn't violate it by actually USING it and drawing in the eyes myself XD And I'm probably not the only one. There are display items and there are useful items, and this is clearly a display item. Like a barbie doll you don't play with.
