Picture of the Day

Image: Love is really just a tug of war.

Time to abandon all the wannabes and post some real sex appeal. This undated file photo features two very desirable males, namely Milo Ventimiglia of "Heroes" fame, and Jared Padalecki from "Supernatural".

We particularly like the way Padalecki's shirt is slightly lifted, letting us a glimpse of his torso. He definitely outshines Ventimiglia here.

If only people really looked like this.

Repulsed by... xLuna&1LOVE

Image: In an alternate universe she would probably be a beauty queen.

Oddly we find xLuna&1LOVE's unique face rather strange and interesting.

It brings to mind a mentally-damaged version of Brooke Fraser, singer of Christian radio gem "Shadowfeet". Her portruding features are quite jarring to the senses.

However, its not the face that's the problem here. It is her attitude and incessant whining on the boards. She constantly bothers everyone else with questions on personal issues, being only more tolerable than Koumori.

xLuna&1LOVE, please get a better name and a new outlook on life. Not everything can be solved by members of an Ayumi Hamasaki forum.

Repulsed by... Se7entheaven

Image: He may be laughing now but let's see in 10 years.

We just don't get Se7entheaven.

Not only is his name hard to type out, but his pictures are hard to digest too. We do not pity him, but merely feel anger upon looking at more of his pictures.

What is wrong with this Chinese citizen? Does he suffer from psychological problems? The past few years have done nothing but showed how much he craves attention, uploading an endless stream of vanity onto the internet.

But the worst thing is his terrible sense of modelling. He does not know how to act naturally. Most often, his pictures come out looking like rejected Hamasaki Ayumi album photoshoots. The expressions are fake or vague, the poses contrived, and the editing absolutely amateur.

It pains us to say this, but Se7entheaven needs to go far away, and be in solitude for a very long time or until he can stop being so insecure. With your help, he can see the light my dear readers.

Addicted To... Zelda-Maker

Image: Oral hygiene is always a priority for this Hamasexual.

From time to time we are greeted with such displays of skin, and it can be almost unnerving for women of our age. Sweat starts forming in droplets on our foreheads and we can hear one another's hard breathing through the cubicle walls.

Zelda-Maker is another one of those Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai members which rarely post outside the Member's Pictures thread, but that is fine as long as such pictures keep coming in.

We don't know what makes him so appealing, but it must be the snow white skin and innocent demeanour which suggests something far wilder inside. He often has expressions that suggest that he's been around the block quite a number of times.

This hamasexual is a proud homosexual, and one that enjoys playing videogames and listening to music.

Image: Zelda-Maker is a good boy. If you want him to be.

Addicted To... Madonna

Image: Narcissism has never felt so good before.

What would a sex issue be without the one who started it all?

Madonna may be a recording artist, but the moment she unleashed "Like A Virgin", people went nuts. Back then no mainstream song has ever depicted so explicitly first time sex.

This was of course only the first domino to take a tumble, and before you know it Madonna released a tie-in with racy Erotica; the coffee table book Sex.

These days nobody wants to see our lady nude anymore, but back then it caused a furore. The book was sold out soon enough and the rest was history.

Hamasaki Ayumi as well tried to follow suit with her gravure idol days, but we all know how that went.

Image: Madonna was always the one to explore new territory.

Image: Hamasaki's early soft-core porn days were a huge flop.

Both Madonna and Hamasaki are currently in the studio recording their upcoming new album, with Madonna going back to her Confessions days while Hamasaki will most probably just make another jambalaya of mixed efforts that will fail to impress.

Still, Hard Candy anyone?

Addicted To... ren0210989

Image: Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai's very own rock star shines.

Perhaps it's the lack of any real ethnic guys in Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai. Whatever the reason, we find Ren0210989 rather seductive with his unusual goatee and Eastern-European features.

Possibly one of the few members on the boards which does not carry the stench of idiocy, this "not a boy, not yet a man" stealer of hearts is in AYH's good books. That being said, a shirtless shot wouldn't harm anyone, would it?

Lacking that, it helps that a lot of his photos contain some sort of homoerotic subtext.

Image: The boys just wanna have fun. And sexual intercourse.

Addicted To... Hitomi Yuna

Image: Former reine des fromages stuns with transformation.

Finally comfortable enough with her French identity, JPopYuna (real name Kelsey Fielding) shines when going back to her roots.

A new, more stylish haircut marks a departure from her usual, trashy style. The new Hitomi Yuna seems assured and matured. This significant difference can be felt in her latest material. Once purely indulgent in only Asian music, this rising star's latest cover was of Lady GaGa's.

Life is busy however for Hitomi Yuna, as she is still pursuing her education. Sexy, and with brains. What more could you ask for?

Image: Despite her shift in direction, Japan is still her number one.

Addicted To... Nemesisyume

Image: Undoubtedly one of the most desirable netizens available today.

In celebrating the sexiest people available on the net, our Hamasexual Addicts Issue will feature some lovely eye candy for our readers! Kicking things off is the usual; our delectable and gorgeous Nemesisyume.

What makes Nemesisyume sexy to our readers? Is it the perfect figure? Perfect, albeit photoshopped skin? Or is it the lovely, pink lips? Whatever the reason, we're sold by those beautiful eyes. Of stunning colour and shape, Nemesisyume is very lucky to have been born in Scandinavia and not have escaped the womb with a face like Bjork's.

We'll leave you with a picture to sate the burning desire.

Image: Brunette or blonde, she never fails to capture our attention.

Newsflash - January 31

Let's take a stroll around the boards today.

1) Founder of AHS, Zef, claims that the "Happy Birthday" thread members made for him has made his birthday one of his most memorable ones. We sympathize.

2) Popstar Hamasaki Ayumi has received the A World Is One book fans made for her, and has gone all out of her way to show how much she appreciates it. But knowing her attention span, how long until it ends up as a makeshift dustpan/paper towel bundle for her dog shit?

3) There's a thread titled "Sizes in Asian Countries" in the Japan Forum. We haven't checked it out yet but we believe it is most probably about penis length.

4) JackieRos was dumb enough to sleep on her own arm, and fat enough to make it temporarily paralyzed.

5) Sakura_Genki is worried she might be becoming obese.

And that's all for now, folks.

Fresh Fodder

Let's take a look at the new members joining Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai.

First up, we have a possible 14 year old calling himself Baron. Yes, real nice. With his official board name TheBaronAndAyu, we don't think this soul will be a particularly pleasant one in the near future.

Then there is Cherrilove. If the misspelt "cherry" has not put you of yet, it's music taste most probably will. Claiming to be named Alex, this person of unknown gender enjoys BoA and Justin Bieber. Wow.

Last but not least is some lass using the moniker Gigipan* with a bloody * at the end of it. We wonder what the asterisk could signify? It does look like a puckered hole of some sort. Her desire for anal sex possibly?

We're in for an interesting year, readers.
