ReformedBasher: Methinks that Japanese women are becoming increased skilled in preserving their beauty.

If by skilled you mean able to find good plastic surgeons then yes, certainly Ayumi is very skilled. Check out some earlier photos of her and you'll see what I mean -- though you might need to take off your rose-tinted glasses.

No need to be knocking Ayu and AKB or making comparisons between the two.

Hideous and I bet it costs a bajillion yen too. She looks lovely but she would look even better without the shirt. Um.....!

she looks like she want to "give me five" or "give me a hug".

Ayu-chan is looking very pretty but I thought she was wearing a golf shirt with an overdone collar.

I think this is the first time I have ever seen her without blond hair.

What a babe!

Nice legs, knees??? Please! Ugly cloths, terrible voice, can't sing her way out of a shoebox. Ambrosia for the most part is right. When will she release her final album?

Boys and Girls was released some 14 years ago

whoa

Ayu STILL rocks "the girl next door looks". Cutie looks work well with her and she doesn't have to try and look the part. Hard to believe she's 35.

She gets top marks from me...good on her

Sorry but the outfit is hideous and does not flatter her, nor does the photograph which makes it look like she has man-hands. And, would it kill her to act more like a 35-year old woman rather than a 15-year old girl when posing? She's attractive and acting a little more maturely wouldn't diminish that attractiveness at all. It would likely add to it.

Yeah Some14some AKB48 could only dream to achieve her level of success. They are not even in the same league.

Dude, Ayumi Hamasaki was one of the biggest pop artists in Asia for like 10 years running. She still holds a record in Japan for most #1 singles and single releases. O_o

It is a horrible ruffled collar. I only like the cream color and without the red hair and bronzed skin you couldn't pull off the look. Ayumi sells it well and hopefully it is a one-off. Without the smile forget it --> most people will be miserable wearing this. Ayumi did a very good job promoting this because the look is difficult.

The bottom of the dress is hip, stylish and cool.

actually meguroman your right, its the dress it made her look like a munchkin.. not flattering on her :P

Horrible candid. I do like the idea that last year's trend of long sweaters will become this year's short dresses.

SHE'S 35?!

Munchkin.

Beautiful smile and still very pretty at 35.

The dress is pretty awful. Marc Jacobs "style" is contrived at best. Ayu looks sweet though.

Ayu still trying desperately to stay relevant

Nice pins.

looks like a golf shirt.. would be very popular on the course..

I agree with oikawa, I thought it's a shirt. Nice shirt!

1 ( +3 / -2 )

This is a dress? I thought it was a t-shirt.

Anyway, nice knees.
