Thanks Misa-chan!
Awesome entry, LOL.

The last words are quite sad...

I think its great that no one recognized her, she must have felt so free and light-hearted without having to look over her shoulder for paparazzi or adoring fans. I'm so happy she was able to rest and recuperate after all her long hours of hard work! <3

Ayu meeting Korea sort of :laugh
That was interesting and cute entry. Thanks a lot for translating and sharing, Misa-chan! I'm hoping nobody will repost it somewhere!

why not change into 2 or more .jpg files

Hope she can visit LA more often.
She has so much fun and she is free there.
Have fun Ayu!

Thanks Misa-chan!

lol.why is she goes to sauna with her male staff? o.O

Thanks Misa.

She's really enjoying the spa very much. I'm pretty sad when she said that she love when no one recognize her. I thought she would love if everyone know her :( But, oh well, she have never been this free for 10 years. So, it's good for her :)

She's such a fast asleep person I guess :laugh

after reading the translation by Misa-chan I can understand better now why she likes to go to LA, she feels FREE staying there, just like a normal girl, I'm happy for her＼(^o^)／ thanks as always for your hard job Misa :)

What an amazing entry <3

and lmao:
I drank the tea which has the picture of the Asian ginseng on the bottle, because it was recommended by the waiter.

Ehh... But it tasted like water which was left washed up along the roadside after a typhoon.

Wow, long post!
I didn't know Koreans are Sauna lovers! XD [I thought we Finns were the ones, haha~] And we have totally normal Finnish sauna in our house : P I want to go to the Ice one!
I'm so happy that Ayu could enjoy it so much <3~

in the last pic, she looks like Mariko ^-^)

hahaha! i know. ayu really cracks me up sometimes.

that made me laugh. she'd a be a great food/drink critique.

thanks so much for the post! i loved it. i'm so happy she was able to just let go and be free b/c no one knew who she was. so happy she enjoyed herself. i wanna go there someday!!! it seems so fun!

it's amazing to read how Ayu was so happy not being recognized. she's actually able to let go and enjoy herself for the first time in 12 years, which makes me so happy for her.

maybe she'll buy a house in LA and make frequent visits. :lech

maybe she'll live there along with her hubby! :lech

actually, i've wondered before why she doesn't get a place outside of Japan where she could go sometimes to live her own life without being constantly recognized.

oh my I wish ayu went to a Korean sauna with me!!

i'd drink water left on the side of a road after a typhoon to go ANYWHERE with ayu! haha! :yes

sounds like she had fun! I'm so glad she was able to feel free there. she looks adorable in all the pics of her too.
this made me lol, I love her honesty :laugh
thank you soo much again misa-chan!

this!

not that it matters to her, but she'd probably save money that way too, instead of having to get a hotel for her and all of her staff that goes with her. :laugh

+1!
