There is a A BEST with Ayu's autograph.
And it costs 30,000Yen.
But is that a real autograph by Ayu?

There are several Ayu Autographs on Yahoo japan, but most you can´t tell if they they are real or not. The best chance for real is one of this concert balls or this polaroids from Magazine Shootings you can win *saw one on Yahoo long time ago*
Even don´t know if mine are real *also from Yahoo* bu as it´s from a series of 5 autographed Vinyls and the person had tons of other rae stuff I´m pretty sure it is :]

it doesn't look real

[Delirium-Zer0]

It doesn't really look right... =\ Hard to tell though. It's a pretty convincing one if it is fake.

i think it's the "A". if you've ever seen her autographs before, her "A" resembles her A symbol. in the picture above, it doesn't, so it's questionable

comparing it to one definite model isn't gonna work, because

(a) Writing style changes all the time.
(b) Ayu probably doesn't spend 3 hours perfecting a signature on a fan CD. She probably just signs a bunch of them quickly, especially near fan groupings and stuff.

I don't know if this one is real or not but if you wanna check out...go to the last page of the album A Song for XX booklet and look if you have it... Ayu had signed her name there...! That is the only thing I have with Ayu's signature on it! Proud....!

[Delirium-Zer0]

These are all real autographs for comparison:





As much as these vary, the top of the A is never smaller than the bottom, so I'll be honest, THAT'S what bugs me most about the A BEST autograph up there.

[LacusClyne]

no, it's not real at all. although signature do change throughout the years, ayu's A still remains the same as big at the top. you can see some in the pictures above.
and you can also check them against those latest mag scan. like the 25th anniversary of Popteen mag, ayu sign her name there too and the A is still very big

looks fake to me

[Syphex]

I partly take back what I said...with all of delirium's posts, notice how she tends to personalize all her signatures with a note or just a date. hm..

what i meant to say is that her A's look blockish (like her A symbol), so it's not a definite model, but it's a prevalent characteristic as you can see in the pictures posted by delirium.

[Kodayumi]

totally FAKE. The A is totally different

[alternarist]

i dont think its real either.. the A jus looks different.

[Kodayumi]

^^VERY, i mean the "A" is so pointed while the real one is like something flat on top

[extepan]

oh indeed it looks fake!

[Kodayumi]

Of course it's fake...i can just forge then said this is sign by Ayu , sell it to anyone and im rich...

Mwahahaha!!!...

I'm not that evil
