I'm surprised that nobody here has made a thread on her. Well, somebody's got to.

Pls, discuss!

I recently bought her DVD 「彩色～パレット～」, but it haven't arrived yet. I'll try to write a review when it has. I might get a somewhat wicked view of her when I see her live because of this though.

Personally she is the one who interest me the most out of the new members.

Her before-BeForU career?Scares me...

It's not a career I find glamorous, but it brings in money. If anything, I've learned to sympathize with the Gravure models through the new girls.

I never knew she actually released anything. Is that like a music DVD sort of thing?

I think it's just a gravure DVD -- that's what this Amazon page implies.

...Is it just me or does she look a *lot* like Risa on that cover?

I think it's just you. I don't see the resemblence. But I do like her bathign suit. 

she looks a bit like KI・SE・KI Risa

I dunno why, but I am starting to more-than-a-like her.

In fact, I find her more attractive than before! 

Really? I find them all attractive. The only member of BeForU I've never found attractive is Shiyuna.

「彩色～パレット～」 DVD Mini Review

Let me start off with saying that it's the first gravure idol DVD I've ever watched. I don't know anything about this world. I guess you'll enjoy the DVD if you like the girl. Ayano is very beautiful and cute in some shots. There's some questions about her life that she answers, so you do get to hear her voice. As we already know, she's a soccer player, and at the end there's a mini interview about her soccer life, and she shows some of her skills. The DVD itself feels kinda low budget, and there's no booklet or anything inside. Apart from the main video, there's a slideshow and bonus video with Ayano working out in a gym. The video quality isn't very good, and kinda ugly menus. I hope I didn't buy some pirate sh*t. I'm used to much higher standards when it comes to Japanese DVDs. Well, here's some pics (might be NSFW)

Thanks for the review Emil, i saw a clip of her a while ago that was all an interview and she also played that game where you catch fish with a paper net, it was cute, i'll to find it.

Reminds me of Noria.

i was surprised when i read that ayano had gotten in BeforU, even more when i heard her voice. she's not that bad, better than a gravure model usually is. i've seen her dramas and i've followed her career for a few years. gravure DVDs make me lol anyway, all they do is roll around to cheesy music XD

Are you serious?! Someone else feels the same way I do! Gravure DVDs can't really make anyone horny. It's just too funny to be taken seriously.
