It's impossible to deny that she is a serious fashion influence so, discuss her styles here!

Regarding her latest style: I'm so glad that she went back to blonde hair, I was gonna die if she kept the brown hair. I also think the things she's been wearing to the JEWEL lives have been really pretty (the dresses), though people think she looks heavy in them. >o<

I think her best style was around her I Am.. era! Though her hair seems to be going back to that style as well. xD

Are you kidding? Ayu is *THE* fashion force in Japan, and imo, in the world! Her nail art is crazy amazing and she does the most daring things with her personal style (hair, clothes, etc.) She's definitely one of my personal style icons^^

It's so hard for me to choose my favourite Ayu style, since I think she carries off everything really well!

I will have to say I really liked her I am... look as well~ and this current look is quite gorgeous too^^ I'm loving the colour of her hair (it's more golden than her signature orange-y blonde of before) and I'm loving the hazel contacts she used in the SECRET jacket shoot!^^

This is a particularly great shot ---> http://wiki.theppn.org/Image:Hamasaki_Ayumi.jpg

Nail art

her nail art makes me wish I didn't chew my own..

But yeah I think she pulls off everything as well, so it's difficult to choose. and wow she looks gorgeous in that shot o:

I wonder if the next album will be as sparkle-heavy..

I hope it'll have MY STORY's concept with a ton of the different styles :]

^ Knowing Ayu, by her next *single* her style will be completely changed

LOL

DroolBoy · « **Reply #5 on:** December 03, 2006, 10:09:14 PM »

Yeah.. once Secret released, her hair turned straight. LOL

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #6 on:** December 03, 2006, 10:25:21 PM »

^ LOL That's our Ayu!

Btw, she looks really pretty there! What show is that from?

DroolBoy · « **Reply #7 on:** December 04, 2006, 07:02:06 AM »

It's from the 12/1 Music Station when she performed JEWEL -Orchestra Version-~

Saw this little post on ayumi-hamasaki.org and thought I would share!

2. Koda Kumi
3. aiko
4. Amuro Namie
5. Kimura Kaela
6. Otsuka Ai
7. Nakashima Mika
8. YUKI
9. Mochida Kaori (Everly Little Thing)
10. UKI (SHAKALABBITS)

^ Not surprising whatsoever. But I wonder about #2 >o>

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #11 on:** December 06, 2006, 07:50:14 PM »

^ I found myself wondering the same thing!

LOL I definitely wouldn't consider Kumi "my fashion leader"~ unless, I guess, if I were a stripper

LOL I love her too, but... no way!

AYU = FASHION.

She came up with everything first!!

& She's the only one that can actually pull of BLONDE hair.. Haven't you guys noticed that not many asians can actually look GREAT with blonde hair?

Well that's what I think at least ;P

There has been so many critics saying how other celebrities constantly copies Ayu - Ayu's fashion ROCKS!

Jolin Tsai (from Taiwan), for instance

I think there were a couple of pictures floating around the net before showing the both of them attending special events (in their respective countries, of course) and Jolin Tsai was seen to be wearing something always similar to what Ayu had worn to her own event.

^ Really? LOL That's amusing

I'd like to see some comparison pics!

There's also comparison of Ayu and western artists in that topic (mainly Madonna), so don't scroll if you'd get upset by that

LovelyMermaid · « **Reply #16 on:** December 24, 2006, 11:19:33 PM »

^ ugh, reading through some of those comments, I really don't like all the hating going on in that forum

The ayu/ jolin comparasonns were really interesting but..I thought the Ayu/ Madonna was crap

But I'm pretty biased about Ayu things, clearly

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #17 on:** December 25, 2006, 01:09:00 AM »

Thanks for that link, aedon!

Those comparisons are really obvious!

But honestly, I think every country has its "copy" singer/group of another country~ Like how Korea's Hyori Lee was rumoured to be a copy of Britney Spears (and yes, Hyori's "Get Ya" is almost exactly like Brit's "Do Somethin"

But enough OT-ness LOL)

Ayu is a major icon, not just in Japan, but across Asia~ It's only natural she would have one or two "copycats"

Btw, I have to say I don't buy the Ayu/Madonna comparison, either

LOL

aedon · « **Reply #18 on:** December 25, 2006, 08:45:29 AM »

I thought this was the funniest:

C'mon, it's silver paint and MUD, and it's a commercial, Ayu doesn't control them

Overall, I think it's kinda an honour that they mostly compare Ayu with Madonna (and not Britney, for example) now, same *icon* level ^_^;
