Defending Oz
 

I love Australia. It's one of the most beautiful places - if not the most beautiful one. And for not going there - it's not true a lot of people, also a lot of japanese people visit Australia. Even if Ayu didn't come yet, you sure are happy to live in such a great country, so you shouldn't be pissed. I would love to live there and watch the Roos jumping into the sunset every night! :yes And I'm sure sooner or later Ayu will come to Australia, too.

There are no kangaroos where most of us live! :P However, I did go up to the mountains once and there were heaps of kangaroos just outside my window.

Also, Mannie just posted some pictures of the set of Ayu's PV on his Facebook. (http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/...5&id=512500182) The set looks awesome! :yes

^It's a NYC set! =D Looks like its for Dream ON PV.

I was just joking about the roos. :P

Anyone else on twitter right now thinking how weird it is that Manuel & Ayu r so fondly remembering tacos??

I'm laughing so hard with that xDD

Im so confused about what dance and outfit u guys are saying :(

R they messing with us about the taco thing?

Omg my life is finally complete ♥

Oh god.... she told me she will play the song I composed for her T___________________T

hahaha..thanks guys...

ayufan- - sure...if u want, you can do it...i feel honored...(^_^)

miki_beland - yeah..i read that tweet...it's really cool!!!

Hahahah don't you worry, I love living here, and I'm not actually pissed. My issue isn't the Japanese people, it's just Ayu haha. Maybe one day she will visit, but our island is so secluded and our population so small it's so easily forgotten ;)

That address... If I send a letter or something, do you guys think she will get it? >___< Since I wasn't online when the bouquets were being bought, I'd like to send her something~ If so, I'll try to gather up some money so I can send Ayu a letter ^_^

...(along with the other letters sitting around waiting to be sent ^___^""")

That was so sweet that you guys sent her flowers!!! She must have been so happy~~

OMFG. Guys. I got THREE replies from Ayu today on twitter! in the past hour or so!! :D

ah i'm so jealous! I haven't gotten any replies from her! >.<

Me neither!


but the things I tweet her are *cough* questionable...lol

me, aura, rikkuchii, anteateradvance and AyumiSEASONS were all mentioned in ayu's tweet. It's in my sig~ :D

honestly, i'm starting to get frustrated and fed up..

I mean I've been tweeting for the past couple of months with no avail and I don't even know how anybody can do it:tmad

Apparently, she's going to see a doctor in LA, but DON'T WORRY GUYS!:

My first reply from Ayu... FINALLY! :heart Ahhhhhhh!!!!! My existence has been validated! :laugh

That was ouch...what really happened?

i just think it's only selected people who get it and it makes me mad:tmad

^ Just relax. She obviously can't answer everyone... just be persistent and I'm sure she'll reply back to you soon. (She hasn't replied to me either)

She is going to the doctor because she has a cyst on her eye... she tweeted this to Japanese fans.

Also, a Japanese fan asked if she smoked cigarettes, and she said that doesn't do anything that is bad for her throat. So that debate finally comes to an end LOL.

awww I'm glad she's seeing a dr though.

PS: My Ayu Tweets! :D I was sooooooooooo persistent.

Just keep trying~
I tried many times before where I sent like 30 tweets to her at one time :thud
So many people tweet to her, so you can only keep trying~

And ouch >_< Hope she's ok!

Ahhhh a sty on her eye! I used to get those ALL the time! I still get one every now and again. Could be caused by allergies and even make-up. She's in a different country/environment, so that could be it too. Those things hurt really bad.

Uh, no. I have been tweeting to her since APRIL when I got Twitter in order to follow her and JUST NOW got my first reply ever. You have to be persistent and lucky, basically.

A stye I'm sure, there is a big difference between a cyst and a stye.
Stye is caused by allergies, make up. So yea, I'm sure that's what it is.
And cool_kickin_dude~ You need to relax. Ayu cannot answer everyone at once. Just keep trying. She never answered me when I first started tweeting to her, she just barely started replying to me, months later.

I counted once and Ayu got almost 500 tweets in an hour. She is busy, u can't expect her to answer everyone.

I've tweeted her almost everyday for months and only got my first reply lately. Be patient. Be nice. Talk to her about silly or interesting things.

Apparently, a sty is a bump on the eyelid caused by things like bacteria while a cyst is a swelling in the eyelid due to a blocked oil gland [http://www.chacha.com/question/what-...yst-and-a-sty] :)

Oh then I think she is meaning to say sty then... I didn't know this word "sty" before!
Thank you~

oh gosh, missed that

I totally forgot about the debate about her smoking lol

Well, what's the situation? :innocent

lol well I guess she wouldnt smoke anymore considering she's afraid that just regular talking is hurting her voice :laugh

And, obviously, that's another good reason, besides that it can really take away years of a person's life - I think Ayu should quit smoking COMPLETELY! (By the way, only one in eight Japanese women overall smoke, and have you heard about the (disgusting) images the FDA is proposing for its smoking warnings on cigarette cartons and related advertising in the future?)

I can't find the tweet, but I'm sure she said she does not smoke, not she has stopped smoking. There is a difference.

Besides, the disgusting image on cigarette packaging isn't a new idea. My country and probably many others started doing it 3-4 years ago.

lol this is totally random.

But it reminds me of a conversation we had in the art dept the other day, about putting pictures of really angry nuns on condoms...


okay...so anyway, back on topic...I wonder what doctor she went to.

Well she should be fine...I think you just get antibiotics for that.

There were a discussion 'bout his since there was a pic of more than 10 years ago with ayu smoking..i dare to say it was from 1998.
But lately i didn't read anything about this anymore

Yeah haha Australia's been doing it since like forever ago, probably since I was little :S

like what? i can;t think of anything to say..everyone else already has:(

^
Then talk about it again. Or say something like, how happy her music makes you. Thank her, compliment her. Does it matter that you're talking about something somebody else has already mentioned? Don't stand in the back of the line with a sob, push your way forward.

^ that's the problem. I tried that too and no avail:(

I've been tweeting Ayu for a long time and have no reply either. Just don't give up! Being negative isn't going to make her reply to you faster lol

Every time you post something about it, it just oozes with negativity. Just try commenting on how you feel about her music, how she looks in a picture she posts, whatever. Like I said, it took me months to get a reply from Ayu. She is a pretty busy woman. Just keep trying and I'm sure she will respond to you eventually! o_=

lol um, ok I'll PM you! o_=

^LOL! o_=

( o _ = ) / hi! i'm waiting for ayu to appear... I wonder when she will receive our letters ^^

Hey I wanna know what it means too...lol

are you guys having some sort fo conspyracy here? >_O I'm getting curious....:innocent

^ yeah, there is a conspiracy..a complete conspiracy

I wanna know it too!!!

I wanna know a little thing.....
Why did you organize to send flowers only via twitter?
I didn't see anything here on AHS, and I don't read every comment on twitter (and I wasn't at home) so I didn't know anything...but I wanted to partecipated....

So your project "all the fans blablabla"...was really for everyone?

...

I don't think so.

^Sad you weren't there to participate.. =( but it's not us who said it was from ALL the fans.

Originaly was supposed to be from U.S fans that couldn't go to LA, it was some of them who started saying that... Then some of us from other countries aked them if we could participate. It wasn't a big project but sth we agreed to do together the ones that were on twitter at the moment~ And as we wanted to send it immediately to arrive it on saturday, it was sth to do fast! >.<

Yes, as aura said, it was originally for the US fans who could not make it to LA...no one ever said it was from ALL the fans, so I don't know where you got that idea.
And it was not posted at AHS, it was a twitter only thing.

Why can't we all just get along? :(

Agreed. :/ This is getting a bit ridiculous.


We literally planned it in no time flat, noone thought about posting it here. We thought of the idea friday night, ordered them friday night, and had them delivered saturday~ We had to order them by noon the next day or they wouldn't get delivered saturday. By the time we picked out the lyrics for the cards, got everyone's real and twitter names, paid all the money via paypal to the person ordering them, then ordered one of the flowers, had a problem with paypal that we had to figure out, then finally ordered the other one, it was already pushing almost 3 am. we were all tired and wanted to go to bed.

Not to mention, we had 20 people total pitch in, and we couldn't fit all of our names on one card, so we had to send 2 bouquets, and then the stupid floral company forgot to give her the cards with the flowers. we were only going to order one til we had people kept joining and joining and we were running out of space on the cards.

we had to cut it off somewhere, yknow? :/ We're poor people and could only pitch in about $5-$10 per person. we couldn't order 3 bouquets. we had to have people pitch in extra money after the fact, because of "hidden shipping fees".

Jorge was the one who said "all fans" not us.

Plus, it was originally only US fans, & the ones from Twitter organized it.

I've read it on twitter...that fans were complaining about Jorge because they wanted to do "a thing from all the fans, all togheter" and he did a separated present.

Btw I'm not hungry or mad..I'm just asking, because maybe I've read something wrong =)

^Well what we meant was we wanted this to be a group effort for the people who participated, but he went and did his own AND joined in our group effort. So when Ayu posted the pic of the roses Jorge sent, we were all confused thinking the florist messed up our order. Because he failed to mention that he had also sent her something on his own. That was the only reason we were upset about it. But whatever, its done.

^
^(sorry Owsnarai and I psoted at the same time, so I repeat the same XD) nop, the complain was that we did something that united 20 fans, ALL together, to show ayu we could unite, and he joined us and also sent another on his own. That was =) The ones from Europe, we were awake till 4:30am to do that, that's why not everyone could see.. But again.. if this would be a huge project (and with only 20 fans we got 2 bouquetes) Ayu would have a garden in her room now O.o it's not like a book of letters =)

Ok, thanks for the explanation...and please don't think that I'm mad about it >_>
I just wanted to know what is happened cause I wasn't at home!

Really???=)RT @Mannie69: @ayu_19980408 @dulceku_ta ?? I got a great medicine for you

Mannie is being nasty! lol

Omg I died again x_X

And because of what Mannie said that made everyone think it was dirty....:laugh

Bahahaha!!!u r funny!!!!!!!RT @pommy48: I'm thinking the medicine is Mannie himself? HAha RT @ayu_19980408 Really???=)

^lol i seriously cant keep up with this thread..
(and OMG is that alan !?!?!!)

Lol I remember being so disgusted with those photos when I was little.. about 10 or so years ago lol. My parents and all their friends smoked, the packets don't really do much!

:roflmao

Another Ayu reply~ ♥
This woman loves to make me smile. ^^

lol the drama~

But who cares! I love you guys, and I'm happy all the little projects have gone through....even though the card thing kinda sucked~

o_= :heart

It looks like there was a lot of fans today! Awesome~


edit: Ayu just said she wants to see the pictures! Someone show her!

Someone tell Ayu to join AHS and we can get rid of the download section so we can talk to her all the time. :P

^^works for me.

^it will be so cool...if she join this forum...i just can't imagine if she really become a member of this forum...
but a lot of people will cry over the download section, especially on getting live performance...

^^lives would be allowed, they are not released on DVD so it's not copyright infringement. lol I would love it if she joined to talk to us

o_= :heart

^
I don't get this o_= thing but it's funny though :laugh.
Would be cool if Ayu will join AHS, but I'd be quite sad for the download section ;_; lol.

If you would take the download section over getting to talk to Ayu, you should evaluate your fan status.

^
Lol I was just kidding. I'd sell my mother to talk to Ayu :innocent. Jk jk. I'd sell my father instead (:laugh)

That's the stan spirit!! :yes

But it's copyright infringement against the TV show or channel the show is on. :grumpy

what's up with everyone going nuts over those flowers... seriously guys... this is just funny, I don't see a big deal :D
People send presents to celebrieties, it's not a new thing, maybe just the fact that they were photographed and showed to everyone made a fuss here, if Ayu would have just said "thanks guys for flowers" and didn't mention anyone in particular, everyone would have been happy...:innocent

on the other note, having here on this forum would make even more fuss, but if would be fun XD

saint words!!

I would have liked to join if i knew it but unfortunately i didn't. So, what's the matter? Some of us had a chence to send her a present and the important thing is that she becomes aware and aware of the exsistance of us, international fans. That's it. They couldn't loose they're chance to deliver a bouquet posting something here, collecting money with such a short amount of time.
It's obvious, i hope next time to have the chance to be part of this project but we cannot blame who could do it this time or the time before.

Wow I was in Socal last weekend! D: OMG if I knew I would have camp outside by that hotel. x_X

^We didn't find out her hotel until just a few days ago =/

^ I know I know, Its my fault for not being on AHS much! I need to lurk around here more. Blahhhh. I just saw the thread in the chat room. I'm so disappointed that I didn't go. But either way, I'm glad everyone got a chance to go. I know I will meet her someday.

it seems she didn't sleep one consecutive our tonight...she seems inconsolable..

^maybe......
she said oyasumi in TA, hope tomorrow she will be OK

^ at least until Wednesday I think. ohsixthirty said to her he wants to see her on Tuesday/Wednesday and she replied she will be there (on twitter).

^ oh wait.. it's tomorrow. I am sorry, I'm so tired, I still feel like it's Monday morning. It's tomorrow, but I guess she will be there a little longer. Because if she has the time to meet with fans on Wednesday (which would be in the evening I guess), she isn't in a hurry, which means she won't leave that day. So I guess she will leave on Thursday or Friday.

(uuh, sorry for my weird english, my head feels like a big ball of cotton)

i wish Ayu would allow herself to get atleast 6 hours of sleep every night. :/ she prob wouldn't get sick as often too.

Maybe the lack of sleep is because she has a lot on her mind. Not necessarely because she doesn't have time to sleep, but cause she's thinking a lot about lots of things...

I hope she's ok <3

Now I wanna send her flowers to make her smile again. Or maybe a teddy bear. XD

anyone care to update about what has been going on so far on twitter?? T__T did she mention anything else about her eyes??

why am i so worried for her :S bad feeling :no

^from what i know, nothing so far...

I think she's just too happy to receive a lot of gifts from the fans..
that she's just so happy until she cried..
it's just a happy tear, nothing to worry about :)

So, will ayufans unite again to send her flowers? if so, please contact with me, I really wish to join you ^^
