I think it's more like shorts but with a 'w'...

shworts.

^ It's SH-WAHR-Z.
Hope it helps. XD

At 00:10 she says his name, maybe this helps :)

Yeah, that's right.

-is taking German class-

I think in English pronounciation it would be SH-VAHR-TSS. :)

^
That's very accurate. Edit: Sorry, didn't see you were in fact from germany. Of course it would be accurate then, you know better than the rest of us, lol.
Damn, most of my family is fluent in german, expect for me and a few of my sisters :laugh I should brush up.

There was one short article that got tweeted to her from Yahoo! Australia: http://twitter.com/#!/ayu_19980408/s...97501225631744

I laughed so much when I read the tweet, which is basically "@ayu (link) AUS" :yes it's just the barest bones tweet ever! xD

I keep checking news.com.au for a story on it :( Maybe I'll email them and stop my irregular spamming of their other articles dropping Ayu's name all over the place! :rolleyes

i tweeted Ayu saying we at AHS congratulating her..can't get on twitter because of an error found on page:( anybody know how to get that off?

would be cool to see if she would reply to that

I think Ayu takes some well-deserved rest from twitter around these days. She's only answered to a few tweets so... Tweets from Jan 1'st is still on her front page and she have probably been hammered with congratulation tweets.

Wow. So Ayu didn't invite ANYONE to her ceremony except her staff? Who gave her away, Stan?? xDD

could band members be considered staff? i'd think Yo-chan would give her away, but Stan is sort of a fatherly figure too, i guess.

ooo.. i guess no one gave her away????i really wonder what will happen next ...

Well...Ayu doesn't really have any family...

her friends are her family :)

^ how about her biological mom, the one who owns Crea Hanabi?
that's her mom rite?

but its kind of funny if she never invite her mom (mariko hamasaki)

^ yeaaa i wonder where is her mom..where her only daughter has tied a knot..
i always so curious about her mom's look!
ayu is really good in hiding her mom's real identity haha ~

maybe they just register their marriage without any kind of ceremony? just to the chapel and say i love you and exchange rings hahahahha

^
^ she appear on premium countdown live 08-09,doesn't she?

That happens a lot, people don't have a ceremony at all, they just go to the justice office and register themselves as bride and groom. I think its a little old fashioned to assume one has to have a ceremony to be married?

heh? really? i think i ever saw one pic but ppl said she's not~

yeap..marriage doesn't always need ceremony to prove that you're married :)

^^I think people just assume she's gonna have a gigantic ceremony because of how she usually is with lavish things. Maybe it's different with this, who knows.

i think ayu personally just wanted to keep it private without making a big fuss by having an extravagant party/ceremony.. she wanted to keep it too herself and enjoy every moment of it without many people looking at her~

I'm sure she will have a party at one point or the other :3 I mean, it's Ayu after all~ Hehehe

maybe, but not this fast i think? but who knows haha~~

Viva SUSHI....*lol*

おいしい！:luv2

anyone know if its tuna or salmon (or another type of fish)?

ayu just posted a picture of her staff and Mannie!

^ Can definitely see the resemblance!

this is great news I am so happy for Ayumi Hamasaki Congratulations!!

is that seriously ayu's mom? i found a video of a woman who plays flute also called mariko hamasaki..but not sure if this is actually ayus mom

so adorable and cute aww
http://twitpic.com/3ndj7v

awwww~ :D

Awww!! Such a cute picture n_____n

I'm so happy for them!!

She just updated TA! I wonder if it's about the wedding? *o*

it's another pic of them together :D
not sure what the text says.

Misa-chan, where art thou? :laugh

They're going on an errand toghether for the first time :D
"Is it gonna be alright? *laughs*"

I think it says, "It's a new beginning" something something... lol

Yes,
"From now on, we're going on an errand together with my hubby for the first time" ;)

And let's see how it will turn out...what are they going to do?

Here's what I can understand....

"From here on,

The two, with her husband, shall go on an errand!!!!!!!

It'll be fine, right? lol"

Sounds like she's excited from all those exclamation marks xDDDDD

is that really her mom?
somehow she looks like ayu..but is it really her?

It would be awesome if they're actually going for photoshoots together, and tell their love story in interviews! It would be so gorgeous! (though Mannie should really stop tying his hair back up all the time!)

I know! where's it from?

I dont think we've ever had a pic of her like, where her face wasnt covered up...except that super old one lol

^yess i want press conference, even!
wanna know how everything started!

toniayu posted that picture though~

haha.. she has always covered up her face...and taking very long distance picture LOL~~

anyway, ayu posted two pics of she was about to board on airplane

http://twitpic.com/3nhbhb

http://twitpic.com/3nh6wj

donno where she goes... but heard that she's going to Singapore? *heard about this going around on Twitter*
Not Sure 100%~

offtop =)

By google translation, I think she might be going to Brazil or some other south country, because they are now in summer, and she just said she's not going to a cold place.

^ yep true..she's going to tropical country..
and she's transferring her flight in Singapore..so near singapore countries,i could think of Thailand, Bali.. maldives maybe?

She said she has never been there.. So, Bali is not.

maybe Malaysia

^ when i typed that she hasn't tweeted about she's never been there haha LOL..
well, Thailand i think.. Australia?

Dis she ever been to Thailand?

I have a feeling it's thailand, but we shall see. Seeing her photo in the Singapore airport made me so excited, but I realized I can't go see her anyway, lol

Is Austria warm this time of year?

^ No, it's freaking cold, snow's everywhere :(

I have a hint.. NEW ZEALAND!! :D

New Zealand is a warm place? Why I never knew that?

If she's gonna be at the airport for a while i'd go home grab my passport and book the next air ticket to I dun care where and see her!!!! lucky people who are at the airport transit area now...

You could probably google a schedule of flights out of singapore and see the possibilities
I would but I'm not at a pc

The next few flights departing from Singapore for ANA, JAL and SQ I to India, Malaysia, and australia.

Yep! It's a little bit below Australia! :laugh

maybe she's going to Australia? :laugh

posted by mannie 4 hrs ago! they're so cute~
http://twitpic.com/3nhjot

I wish for it to be happened! :thud

Haha, I guess I really need to read more after this xD

Below Australia is Tasmania then Antartica. New Zealand is to the right of the country.

I hope its Australia. But it probably won't be but when they land and post pics someone will be able to tell

Oooh so she's travelling again? Interesting! I love this whole "Where's Ayu now?" Game! Hahaha

I think it's australia!

I'm glad someone mentioned that, New Zealand isn't that close to Australia... :innocent

If you all guys here think Singapore or some other place, you all guys are WRONG! She's flying an EMIRATES A380!!! (Ayu prefers JAL, but Emirates is a JAL partner, so that's close, and she's going to Dubai once again, while I start distancing out of listening from Ayu to other artists, now Kobukuro...)

EDIT: See below...

^ The thing is, she was in Singapore a few hours ago. She's transiting there from Japan. And how can u be so sure that she's flying an Emirates?

But she said she's never been there before, and we know she's been to Dubai already? :rolleyes

I think she might be travelling to Austria and not just because I'm from Austria. :D
There is a connection from Tokyo to Vienna via Dubai. Plus, she hinted that she's never been at her destination before and probably Mannie's parents want to meet their new daughter in law, at last. :)

she answered to a tweet

...unless she forgot~

Justex, the pic that mannie posted on his twitter, said they were in airport.. that's Singapore airport..and a Singaporean fan recognized it... she transfered in Singapore and going somewhere..

Justex: but she said it's not a cold place. So it has to be on the southern hemisphere...

Ahh, I see. Thanks for pointing out. :)

Oh wait, I was wrong - she flew to Singapore, apparently...on a Singapore Airlines A380!

but she has been in singapoore, right? she told us she's never been there >_<

^ she just transit in Singapore :)
so from Singapore, she's going else where which we donno where...
My guess goes to Australia or New Zealand~

Singapore could be just a connecting airport to her next destination...a lot of flight transit there..
so where is she now?

I wish it was spain... but it's obvious it won't be >.<

LOL You guys are hilarious. And Ayu is so cute. :D

Ayu is going to a warm place. Not a cold place. Austria is cold right? So she's not going there right?

OMG AYU WAS (IS?!!!) IN SINGAPORE :faint

omg warm place? Australia?

omg. omg omg.

I'm in Japan right now, if she's FINALLY coming to my country, and I'm not there, I will be SO freaking pissed. Like royally.

Many people said that Masa is in Aussie right now. So, Ayu n Mannie prolly go there.

yey Ayu x Australia = awesome~

bikini pictures :yes

lol I am freaking out. What bad luck must this be that Ayu's coming the one time I'm out of the country... why?????????? \(-0-)/

check out this link:

http://www.changiairport.com/flight-...ger-departures

i was just checking for fun..

first choose "Terminal 3", then choose flight time "21:00 PM - 21:59 PM" and click "Search" and then you gonna have schedules from around that times' flights..
and why i chose 21:00 - 21:50 PM because seeing Ayu's TA diary, she updated two TA diaries while she was still on the plane on 20:02 & 20:06 PM..so i think boarding time usually is an hour before the flight right?

you can see that most of the flight schedules are going to Melbourne, Auckland, Brisbane and Haneda..she couldn't be go back to Japan coz she was just from Japan right? LOL~

edit: or another flight to Sydney from between 20:00 - 20:59 PM as well

so Melbourne/Auckland/Brisbane/Sydney~
most likely it's Auckland because Max Matsuura is there right now~

okay good. if she goes to Auckland I'll be relieved, cos at least I equally won't have a chance to see her than if she went to Melbourne or something.

EDIT: OMG SYDNEY OMG...

^ right now, it's likely to be either Auckland/Sydney though
coz those two flight schedules are the most match to the times of Ayu writing her TA entries on the plane..

oh well, let see for another picture from them when they arrive :)

^I'd say Auckland :D

Wonder what mission they have in Auckland...

^ joining max matsuura fishing ahahahaha XDD

Australia? Woaaww really? I want to go there too n___n

I wonder what they're up to...

WHAT WHAT WHAT??? she stepped foot on Singapore?! which photo?! omg...sorry for the moment... O.O

I guess it's some sort of honeymoon?
