To all you dolts who are shocked or dissapointed in Ayu in some way or another REALLY need to get off the computer and go out and spend the some in the real world.

There is no better way for her to start expanding her career across Asia and maybe even further then with THIS type of add campain; not with electronic adds, cosmetic adds, candy adds... none of those even come close to making the visual impact adds like this will. Millions of people are going to see these adds, and a good percentage of those who see them will want to know just who this model is. This means her sales will go up, her popularity will spread, and she'll break the confines of Japan in a real, solid manner - not just a few concerts.

Ayu is turning 30 in a few months. She'd look ridiculous making adds where she tried to play off being a young naive, cute, spokeswoman. It would be devistating and laughable. This is, in my opinion, one of the smartest moves Ayu has made in years. The potential this has to reinvigorate her career is endless. All Ayu fans should be thrilled, not acting like prude children who just got cooties or something.

[Kikaru]

I actually think in terms of clothing, it's rather tame. I think RAINBOW and LOVEppear covers is actually more revealing.

But yeah, she is turning 30, and one can only be the cute girl for so long before getting weird.

Too bad wacoal isn't sold here, I'd love to have one of their bras.

[BluishDays]

Hmmm Ayu's being a model and advertising the lingerie, She's not stripping down to anything. This is what she's being paid to advertise ---> lingerie. There's a difference of being a model and being a stripper

[Ayumiko]

ayu had plenty of bikini shots throughout her whole career. There's like one bikini pic in each year's calendar. The way she looked and posed on the ads I can accept because it was classy and not trashy. If she was spreading her legs, showing her butt cheeks, or grabbing her boobs, and looking like she's trying to seduce than that is trashy and I won't accept...but so far she haven't done anything sexy that I cannot accept.

Sorry, I'm new to these boards! Been a fan for many years, but not very outspoken on forums ^^; Also, sorry this is a week or so after the post I quoted!

I completely agree - there's tasteful sexy and trashy sexy. While I think, for example, Koda Kumi is quite attractive, her type of sexiness sometimes borders on the bad sexy for me. This type of sexiness is entirely tasteful and shows Ayu for what she is: a mature, beautiful woman.

[Bad Wolf]

^ Precisely. One thing I love about the first picture that was released was how Ayu was smiling - we all know that smile just as well as we know Ayu herself. It's warm, genuine, and overall so her. She's not trying to make some stupid duck pout or "come hither" look (I haven't noticed this in any of the pictures, actually: most of them just seem to have her be relaxed and comfortable) - she's smiling and being herself.

While I can understand that there are people who would prefer Ayu didn't do this, it's not like she's degrading herself or being used for some cheap, sexual image. There's a complete difference, for example, between this ad and what some would deem "pornography." If you still don't like this kind of tactic, that's fine, no one says you have to But just as I'm willing to understand why you may disapprove of it I think it would be best to try and see all sides of the situation - others here have brought up good points: Ayu can't go around pretending to be all ~cutesy and sweet~ forever. TBQH I think anyone older than 18 who still acts that way is pathetic and in need of a reality check x_x Ayu has managed to get away with it because she wasn't trying to "act younger." She's always been herself - and this ad is just another reflection of herself, and I heartily approve.
