Avex Girls Like Hats

It seems all the major divas are wearing tiny little black hats slanted to their right side... Seriously, what is up with that?

Namie Amuro wore one in her latest PV, "FUNKY TOWN"

I thought it was cute and jaunty...but something you'd pretty much have to be Namie to pull off.

Kumi Koda also wore one in her Million Best Artist performance of "Koi no Tsubomi/BUT."


Hers was huge ... But her dress was simple so it kind of worked. (To be honest I was more interested in her earphone, which is decked out with sparkles like a piece of jewelry. O_O;)

Ayumi Hamasaki also wore a tiny black hat for her recent "Memorial Address" performance on Mステ (Music Station).

I almost wonder if Ayu had no clue she was being trendy -- Because actually that hat, because of its netting, actually calls to mind her hat from her '03-'04 Arena Tour DVD (can't remember the exact name right now), which is where she performed her most notable performance of "Memorial Address."

So the hat was probably chosen only to fit the image of the song...but it fits the trend perfectly anyway. The Trend Gods smile on Ayu, that's for sure!

The one thing I want to know is... how will it effect those of us on the lowly levels? I honestly can't see average but trendy people wearing little black slanty hats to school or the office.

Kumi's hat is just fugly. The others have cute little ones but hers just looks tacky. She has no style, seriously.

I think the green one koda kumi wore on music station was cute. [shrug] But I agree..I can't see people wearing that on normal days...but maybe for a halloween costume or some kind of dressup
