Who thinks Ayu's site needs a better layout?

[[taskin.ayu]]

Since her update on her site, I've noticed how bland her website looks has been looking. o_O Maybe it's the rate she releases at? But she is Avex's top selling artist, why can't she have a much better website? People like Namie Amuro have much better layouts that Ayumi's site. I mean even Jolin has a better site! She should get some pro web designers and give her a site she deserves. xD;

I know many of you wouldn't mind how her site looks but that's what I think. xD

Jolin's site: http://www.sonymusic.com.tw/pop/jolin/
Namie's site: http://www.avexnet.or.jp/amuro/

Actually when ayu was releasing stuff faster, her site was much cooler. Alot of content is missing altogether (the old Specials, her profile was never rewritten to be more accurate, they just took it off, they used to have her cms up for dl, that sort of thing)... her website layout was never anything spectacular, but it certainly hasn't gotten any better. At all. x_x It's shameful that japan's biggest pop star doesn't have a better website.

I really don't care about the website's layout. That is not important to me.

Besides, her website is #1 from all the other AVEX artists. Even though it might not be as great as Mika Nakashima's website, it's still the one that is the most viewed.

Yeah I remember when she had a CM section. :3 Pity there's too many now, so they took it off. D: Maybe all avex sites suck? LOL

[elepop]

^^ Nah, hitomi's website's is super nice. And she's from Avex.

Wow it is nice. Maybe it's because she got her own web designers to do it, and not the avex ones since the site isn't under the avex address? Thats a good site though. xD

[[AHS]MortalSex]

lol then their web designers must be too lazy to get a better website for japan´s biggest pop star ^^

[firefox]

it doesnt even have a wallpaper section, other artists do

I can't say that it matters much to me but I agree that it wasn't much to begin with. The official website gripes for any famous person have been around online for a while, considering so many unofficial sites have spectacular layouts and/or content. But I really think it has to do with the industry and how much info the companies feel is just enough to get people started, and then fans will go out and buy Ayumi related stuff if they are really interested. The simplicity of the layout may just be easier for the webmaster to keep, who knows, the same person might be in charge of dozens of other Avex sites.

[[taskin.ayu]]

Hmm I believe so too. Her website isn't much but she's still extremely popular. xD Plus with the many changes her her site goes though with releases makes it difficult to take care of. I notice that most Avex sites have the same play and stop button for music, so it must be all from the same group of designers, who probably have to take care of a ton of sites. x__x

Ayu's is ok but I think I like BoA's site

[Qt Mashi]

yeha i think Ayu's website needs to change like the border is too simple

[stardusties]

i think it just needs to be more appealing...to new fans...so they'd wanna buy her stuff , business is all about the asthetics.

[MsMiyabi]

Well I Think BoA has the worst layout period. But Maybe Ayumi likes the look of her site and Besides we can change it anyway. Ayumi's site it fine to me It just depends on the colors used with her layout.

[Delirium-Zer0]

I guess if you don't like that site, there ARE plenty of others to go to... XD

My opnion is i don't think they got the new colors yet
but i might be wrong

[freddiecheddar]

you also have to remember that there is a lack of content due to the fact that she has the TeamAyu website too ... paying customers are gonna take priority over just casual browsers, hence all the good stuff is gonna be at TeamAyu.

[Baernash]

Well.. I think her site should be extend but simple layout which is already in use is ok. All Avex artists have simple layouts - sites r easier for watching and more clear to easy find all necessary informations.

[Raleigh]

It's plain boring and outdated. I think she needs a new webdesigner.

[RAISKA]

WOW! Jolin's site is beaut!

Umm, well, ye-a, I'm kinda dissapointed with Ayu's web design! It must be better, and now it's just black.

What about beaut flash or something like that?
Or, well...

Avex is lazy?
