sometime this evening..its already after 9PM in london..
so she may already have it, all we can do is wait :D

Awww what a great little book, I'd like to see her flipping throw each page sitting in her hotel room.

that is beautiful.

Oh my god! How did you make this?? It's so professional!!! And the drawings are awesome!!! Ayu will be so happy.

OMG! I'm so nervious!!! >.<
The book looks awsome!!! O.O

Dear God! I hope they can take pics when she have the book in her hands I really want to see her face~!

And if she post the book in the TA web!!! OMG!!! *so exited*

the book looks so pretty!~
and is a nice detail to put the arternative covers ^^

So...no news about her receiving the book yet? U_Ù

I can`t sleep tonight :D I can`t wait to see the book in her hands :love

oh gosh i'm nervous and excited too :thud
I can't wait to see the book on her next TA's entry :banana1

currently after 10PM in london....ayu or maxker, please update us lol

nothing on TA...

Hmm, that is indeed my photo, but that one I also posted on my blog.
Anyway, nice to see a photo going around the world :-)
But indeed, is this from a staff guy?

indeed... but would ayu update it that quickly...


P.S.: I also hope maxker won't forget to ask how they will stay in London...

I have a feeling she probably won't update until early in the morning...
between 12 - 5AM, as sometimes she posts very late before she sleeps..

This looks AMAZING!!!! Thanks so much for doing all this, Maxker!

And it's such a cute idea to give chocolates to Stan, too. :D

Wow it looks absolutely amazing, Thanks Maxker for doing such a wonderfull on the printing ^^

B]OMG!! Many thanks Max and Zoomzoom !![/B]

The books really looks awesome, these have all the energy of the world*-*

My letter now...in Ayu's hands??! yayy :D I want to see the epic moment "THE photo"- when she will get the book *-*


I m Happy, happyyy ~~~ * Listening : You * :)

I wonder why we don't get any info... I don't ask for a full report... but only saying: she has it. is enought....

Same here...
I can't go sleep till I know something :(

lol, good luck staying awake.

just wanted to say: great project!
thought this was about something else or I'd have also made a letter.

hope ayu takes her time on the book when she gets it. :)

me too, I'm kind of frightened a bit :/

^The same here :(
I hope all it's OK

ahahahah...everyone is so nervous now

Don't worry guys-- I'm sure she has it. :) Maxker is probably still starstruck from having had met her again. xD Or he might be asleep. I'm sure he'll give us an update as soon as he's able to.

so this Kaz
http://ameblo.jp/kayzu/entry-10443873337.html

isn't Ayu's Mr.Kaz?

OMG.. has Maxker handed the book to Ayu via Stan or whoever?

^OH MY GOSH! haha What does that say?! All I see is "A" WORLD IS ONE. :D

^it was posted a few pages in this thread, someone from ayu's staff has/saw the book (we don't know for sure) and wrote about it on his blog.
we don't know if he gave it to ayu or what.
we're waiting for ayu's blog update. or an update from Maxker.

great job Maxker! thank you so much! it looks awesome. ^_^
i hope my page is in the folder instead of the book.
my letter was so plain, it'd be a pity if it was in the book instead of someone else's page that was worked hard on. =\
but then again, i was one of the first people to re-send it to Maxker,so idk.

it says something about him delivering it...so maybe maxker didn't get a chance to see ayu?! only her staff?! well, whatever the case, I'm ready for updates

OMG!!! O.O

A WORLD IS ONE!!

Dear God!!! *dies*
I need the translation O.O

Same here; studying and practicing consume most of my time now. Haha. Although I don't know if I'll take the time to try to send something separate, but that's just me... :P

The book really is amazing; it's making me emotional. All I can say is kudos to everyone who particpated! Can't wait for a reaction from Ayu!

I tried an online translator and he seemed to be saying something about connection to fans all over the world and the power in that. It's so hard to tell tho from those online translators.

I hope we get news soon!

And I can't believe my letter was on the first page of the folder!

someone translated it a few pages back.

i'm using online translator..and i think kaz talking about the book!!!
need to wait for a better translation...
looks like maxker has give the book to ayu!!! that's really cool...
can't wait for the update

ReSama translated it a few pages back into the thread.

a very rough translation:

"A" WORLD IS ONE

Ties of fans around the world

are really a source of power, don't you think?




Even there

ayu's voice shines for
the fans in the world


I'm delivering it ♪ "

who knows...maybe ayu and kaz sat together reading it lol
I'm just ready for both maxker and ayu to update us...

omg...this is exciting! my letter is in one of the pics! I hope ayu received the book!!!

Oh oops! Didn't realize it was translated already!

Wow so I guess maxker had to give it to her staff instead? As long as it gets to ayu I'll be happy. But I would loved to have heard about or seen pics of her receiving it!!

^same here. =[
as long as she gets it though. it wouldve been a really big waste if she didnt.

thankies for the translation :P

I'm a little blind ¬¬U

Awww thats cute! "ayu's voice shines for
the fans in the world"

so, I think she have it, and she like it! :3
I hope she hay somthing tomorrow in the TA web~ <3

looks like max give it to kaz...but who knows?!
need to wait for official info from max

Aaahh!! >< I can't sleep without knowing whether she has received the book!!
Yeah, I'm nervous x_D

Wait...so who is this Kaz dude????

Wooooooow! The book looks stunning!
I can't wait to hear Ayu getting it and reading all our letters!
Maxker, thank you, thank youuuu!

The book looks great! Seems like this project is a success! :D
The drawings are amazing! really beautiful! <3
Hope she blogs about it in due time.. I'll be looking fwd to read tht entry :P

Okay.

Kayzu is not part of Ayu's staff and is not Kazuki 'Mr. Kaz' Okabe. He seems to just be a really big fan of Ayu, and goes to all of her lives.

Kazuki 'Mr.Kaz' Okabe is the head of TeamAyu and takes photos for the TeamAyu magazines, and also shoots the offshots (I think) for DVD making ofs.

looks really cool ^^

im getting confused with all this Kaz business! >_<

@truehappiness: so that part about him delivering it to ayu was just a mis-translation?

Probably. Literaly: 届けるよん♪
届ける means "to deliver", I don't know what did he/she mean with it if he's not Kaz. I'm geting so confused. Mess....

Edit:

I'm feeling really dissapointed now.
Tomorrow we'll find out what happened, for sure.

What kayzu appears to be doing is taking credit for the overseas' fans work... or something..

I don't know, but it looks like he's claiming to do things that he's not involved in. I suppose he's probably a member of AHS, and has been sniping away at tidbits of information/photos taken... you know, like "Oh, look! I'm in London right now, etc etc."

I don't think that Mr. Kaz would be allowed to have an Ayu-affiliated blog in such a public place like Ameblo. Whenever he posts a message about Ayu, it's at the TeamAyu website. AND why would Mr. Kaz talk about going to all of the concerts/being in every TeamAyu PV when he's a staff-member of TeamAyu?

His list of achievements with Ayu, notably knowing her face-to-face since 1997, being in the AUDIENCE CD jacket... etc.

Oh crap. So that was just a fan posting about it.

I wonder how he knew though?

Well it looks like we have no confirmation yet if the book has been delivered. I really hope this works out!

thanks for the information on this 'kaz' person
I kinda felt as though it might have been a fan at first...

So I guessed this Kayzu dude is just blowing smokes in his blog isn't he? Basiclly claiming he was there, etc, when he isn't.

Thanks truehappiness for clearing things up.

I believe he's a member of AHS and has been taking the images of her in London from here, and posting them in his ameblo blog. How else would he be getting these images that people are posting here along with the information of the A WORLD IS ONE book?

We've actually seen Mr.Kaz (AT05 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DVD extra) and he doesn't look like that Kayzu guy at all.

what a d-bag. lol.

hope he doesn't screw things up somehow. :no

oh... I thought it was the real Kaz...
a bit disapointing
anyways... I'm waiting for the offcial news of the delibery :3

According to a friend that has read his blog, he is simply reporting about her activities in Japan (through reading overseas forums/blogs, I guess) and is not actually claiming to be in London.

I suppose that most of what he's been saying has been true, like someone (Maxker) delivering the book and so on. Just don't think he's in London, because he isn't.

me too :D

^ Oh so, he's just reporting on activities and then blogging on his site I guess.

I thought he was just blowing smokes and claims that he was there. Oops my bad, sorry.

Thanks for clearing it up again.

yeah thanks for clearing that up truehappiness.

no more confusion now...
only anticipation. xp

I love it! It looks perfect! I hope ayu will like it.

Wow, that looks so amazing :heart I know Ayu will cherish that!

holy~!! the book looks AMAZING!!!!

At this point all there is left is waiting for her to blog or for Maxker to come online. Haaard to wait!


Btw, the book looks great! I love how you're trying to bribe Stan xD

I'm glad the front page came out the way I intended. When I originally entered it in the competition, I outputted it with the wrong color setting and it didn't really look quite like I wanted it to, the colors sorta over-saturated and got grainy, a bit LQ looking. I made sure to send the correct version to Maxker which is nice and sharp. :) I'm so grateful for all the votes it got!

OMG, I haven't actually been this excited about something Ayu related in such a long time! I'm almost in tears the more that I think about it! :weep

But she's gotta think some weird things when she gets that book... "WHERE did this come from???" "HOW did this person get this many letters from around the world???" LOL :laugh

yeah bribing Stan was a good idea, and what better way to do it with Norwegian chocolate..lol

ah, the wait is dreadful :thud I can't sleep

http://ayu.no/images/news/3332.jpg

Excuse my bad description, I'm over tired.. xD

Mission complete. We have now given the book to Ayu, the clock was half 4 on the night, so most people were pretty tired and cold. She was stunned, and did not know what it was, and got 0.0 eyes when she opened it. The first sheet she saw was a letter from Russia, with a drawing from Arena Tour 2007. Stan said;! "This is really big guys, wow." She was so happy for the book, so when Stan tried to take it from her, she just hissed at him xD

She also enjoyed the chocolate xD We took a group photo with multiple cameras, but I was so busy with the book, so I have no pictures.

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

WOW!!! there is a lot of people there...
so how is it going? have you give it to her?

awww! she was so happy! wee! I can just see her reading them now :heart

OMG!!!! She got it!!!!!! Lol I wish that I could see her face when she hissed at Stan! Thank you so much for your hard work ♥♥♥♥

Ahaha, Ayu reacted just as I thought she would!

omg this so amazing, I can't wait to see if she posts about it. I wonder how long it will take her to ready all the letters lol

Awwww you all look great!!! I'm so glad so many people were there to see her even though it was really late!

LOL!!!!!! That's hilarious!!!! I'm sooooooooo excited she got the book! Can't wait for her to blog about it!

I'm so happy you got to hand it to her personally! I take it that was great compensation for all your hard work and effort?! :D

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)

I'm really happy she's got it now. Can't wait to see wait she posts about it~ And so funny that she hissed at Stan!

yay she got it!!! i really hope she posts about it. i want to know what she thinks~ thanks maxker! <3

Yes, I and "Norwegian Blue" was helping. I have gotten myself bad-throat down here, so she had to take care of the talking, but I gave Ayu book. :yes

It was quite surreal and unreal, standing just 1 meter from Ayu, as she looks through the book, while I hold it up for her. She was really touched.

hoaaaa awesome, man! it must be the most unforgetable moment!

THANKS SO MUCH for everything!

omg you managed to give it to her... :weep

Thank you so much Maxker!

EDIT: Oh yeah... take care of yourself Maxker... throat infections are nasty :(

this is great!although i didn't leave a message to ayu,but i'm really excited!haha..

^^ Dont know what to say , other than i cant wait for her to comment on it *__* wish i had notice of this b4 it was to late XD but oh well ^^

Thanks, once again, maxker and zoomzoom!
Without your help, this would not have happened :P

I can't wait to read her next blog entry

Happiness just...overflowing :')

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

Thanks for the update!!!


*shouts in happiness!!!~~~*

no picture with her this time? it would had been great if some1 had mention to her that if she could open her team ayu for people outside japan to join with out having to live inside japan.

^ I wrote in my letter that she should create an Int. Team Ayu :)

I'm so incredibly happy that Ayu received the book. When I first read the news, I literally burst into tears. It's so amazing that, thanks to Maxkar, we were able to have our incredible letters delivered right to Ayu's hands.

I love that she wanted to continue holding the book, despite Stan trying to take it away from her! Shows how much she truly cares about what we, the fans, have to say to her :)

So did I, to be honest, haha.

^ way to go guys ^^ i hope she takes notice and makes it possible after seeing this book ^^ i never thought this would be possible back when i join AHS ^^ this has to be one of the best thing that has happen since we started 2010 XD ^^

omg!!!! i'm so glad to hear that she received it ok. the finished product looks amazing and the group photo is wonderful!!! when i read the message about you giving it to her, i cried. ayu will read all of our letters. what a great experience. i'm sure she never expected something like this...and now we have all had the chance to touch her life and make her feel great, just as she has done for us for years. i'm crying such happy tears right now. thank you for making this possible, Maxker and zoomzoom.

I'm...so...happy.... :weep

anyone who has an access in TA, please stand by in case she posted a message regarding the book

and I'am all happy and excited now

Next Time I want to leave her a message, too!!!!!^^

It's probably 100x harder to author a DVD like that (with subtitles for her to understand as well?)... plus I think most people are more comfortable communicating with her via letters and stuff so...

ooo thanks so much maxker!!! I am so happy that she received the book!!!
Yay!!!!! :D:D:D

Thanks for all your hard work! It looks great!

and omg at my letter being shown. xD

The book LOOK AMAZING

Hmmm... you got a point, its quite harder than I expected. :|
Oh well...
