Ayu's social networks - Discussion #42

[Aderianu]

I don't see big difference between this pair and same color boots she wore before...

well, yeah... this look is quite ugly ) no one will think that is ayumi hamasaki

[truehappiness]

The Kanye affiliation is the main issue but it goes with the other adidas items since the shoes are also an adidas collab.

I think it's nice how she blurs the guys's face in the background, like she (or her team) is conscious about the right to remain anonymous on the internet, which is something that most people forget today and they go and post stuff involving others image on the internet without their consent.

It's a Japanese thing, they always do that, not just her staff.

There was a picture of Ayu and her husband in public without any fans in sight in Japanese tabloids with text like "nobody cares about Ayumi Hamasaki", which is partly true, speaking of general public, so she actually can go freely with some disguise.

I think she wrote something about not remembering where she left her car parked lol

A friend of mine actually went to Sendai for last year's TA Tour and said she was, along with other fans, next to Ayu on the station. According to her nobody stalked her, so I think it is part of Japanese culture too, I might be wrong though.

Oh i wasn't aware of that!

Well that's pretty paradoxal because if that tabloid feels the need to make an article about her it means they still do care about her (even if it's in a mean way) lol
I'd say to these mean people "Ayu doesn't care anymore she's too busy spending her ¥¥¥ in expensive stuff you mean journalists will never be able to afford"

Good for her if she can go wherever she wants without being bothered.

I wonder if those street style pictures she posts are really live/fresh or she just took a bunch of photos and uploads day by day. I don't know... just started questioning this.

I guess she can walk freely for a while now. She usually tooks the subway and shinkansen to go to other cities and to her venues. But I'm surprised that no one have a picture with her in the streets of Tokyo. Is it because people don't care/recognize about her or because Japanese are too polite and care about private life that they don't feel the need to approach a celebrity?

[voltron]

I think it's a combination of things. Her popularity is definitely lower, and people aren't looking for her per se. Some people may be nice enough to ignore her if they notice her. But she's always wearing sunglasses and hats and such, and it would be quite easy to miss her in the crowd. There are TONS of people walking around Tokyo, you just start blocking it out a bit, honestly.

And she's probably not just walking around care-free. I'm sure she's going from point A to point B, from a car to a store, for example. Then snapping a quick picture in between. And likely very early morning or less traveled hours.

The mundane issue I mostly have too lol

[Andrenekoi]

It's probably very different having her walking around without much fanfare and her being announced walking around, and the 2nd would probably cause some level of commotion, even if not a big one. Let's not forget abou the 2009 scandal

Probably to not unintentionally advertise a CD or w/e the billboard is for.

Happened to me shortly after I started driving. I was running around a huge parking lot trying to find my car and my boyfriend just stood in front of the entrance laughing at me.

"scandal" was a strong word, but it get some coverage:

Like pretty much every controverse surround her, it's a no scandalous scandal xD

[voltron]

I thought that was referring to the 109 / photo book scandal. When she released one of her vivi collaborations or something, she made an unscheduled appearance at Shibuya 109 to promote it. This caused a huge commotion, impacted traffic, etc.

It ended up under investigation or in court or something, because she wasn't permitted for an event with proper police and traffic control.

Her Instagram is becoming such a vision board for my personal style since I mostly dress in streetwear so seeing her gives me ideas <3

Ooops! That was the one I was talking about, picked the wrong link xD

Love her look in that last pic. Street wear Ayu is definitely my favourite. I don't care that she's wearing Kanye West's clothing. It works and it makes her happy. I don't like Rihanna buy I love the platform shoes she just put out.

Honestly, I'm not surprised no one hassles her on the streets these days. If she's just walking around, not announcing herself I think she'd blend into the crowd. Especially in a big city. I live in the same city as one of my favourite actresses and if she walked by me I'd never know. You just block it out.
