Ayu: Anything Goes [XXIV]

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Rumour or not... does it really matter? I also have a huge age-gap with my significant other, so I don't mind if Ayu is romantically involved with Pei. He's cute. As long she's happy.

But I agree, it is a bit weird just to jump into conclusions.

[attractive nausea]

During a-nation when she was doing the medley on the moving cart Pei wouldnt stop holding her by putting his hand on her lower back, which I found to be a really intimate gesture, especially for japanese people lol I know it was probably to keep her balance but still, he made it really obvious

[hud]

the cart thing again...

[Xianghua]

I saw a screencap on twitter of today's King's Brunch, a tv program on TBS which I found interesting. They surveyed woman in their 10s - 60s on who they think is the "song princess."



Ayu is:
#2 for women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s (namie amuro is #1)
#5 for girls in their 10s
#6 for women in their 50s
#10 for women in their 60s

Anyway I think it's pretty great that she's in the top 10 for each age group

(side note- this screencap was taken while the chart was unfinished, but it was later revealed that A is Kana Nishino, B is Hibari Misora, and C is Miwa Yoshida)

[Andrenekoi]

This is great! Even more considering she is 15 years past her peak!

[mizuki-7]

The same ranking was made last year and she was 1# for 20 & 30. I think the retirement of Namie has something to do in this little change but anyway ...

[Calico]

Damn, Akina, get it!

[Andrenekoi]

^Yeah... Namie is in the center of the attention right now, it's natural she got 1st.

[EndOfTheWorld]

I was not expecting her to place so highly on the charts.
Especially with the younger groups.

[Uknow!]

Ariana Grande being 3 for girls in their 10s is cute lol

If only you get knew what her songs are really about lol.
I didn’t think that Ayu would rank so highly, but it’s pretty cool that she did.
I know her public image is thought to be a disaster but maybe this means that we only hear/read from 2ch and their dissenters.

It was super easy to spot Ayu too! I knew that she’d be the most blonde

What? lol You guys are really into novels, aren't you?

I was really surprised by Ayu being famous between 10s old girls lol Probably because of their moms...

I probably used the wrong phrasing, but somehow when her other dancers do it I don't notice it, but this time it was flagrant lol

Don't overthink it, it was just me expressing a random thought on how I can understand that there are rumors that she's dating him.

I just watched Concert Tour 2000 a few weeks ago, it was a bit funny hearing her singing the songs like they were supposed to be sung lol. Her way of singing has changed so much. I enjoyed the concerts, though - only problem was that there was soooo much time in between songs where she wasn't on stage.

[cosmicfirefly]

I love both versions of Concert Tour 2000, they have some of my favorite performances though I don't think her voice sounds that strong in them. She has the higher pitch of the originals, but her voice sounded frail to me a lot, though I don't mind it. I love the double concert concept so when Just the beginning tour was announced I instantly thought of Concert 2000. Although doing three different setlists so close to each other might have been too much on her.

Just curious but what did he do to have some controversy, or so i heard?

[attractive nausea]

^ Apparently he posted pictures of him smoking while japan's legal age for smoking is 20 so japanese fans got butthurt because of it

[truehappiness]

He posted pictures of smoking and drinking despite being 19. Ayu was 'responsible' for this kind of though because she advertised the IG and told TA to go invade it basically, lol.
