cool...
such determination...
i wish her all the best!

Didn't Ayu study english when she went to NEW YORK when she was 17, i thought she study music in NY for two years and came back to JAPNA

I don't think Ayu was in New York for that long. She went to take vocal lessons and then returned to Japan, so I don't think it was 2 years (but I could be mistaken). She might have gotten a little basis in English while she was in NYC.

thanx for the info!

Hey Ayu! Need an English tutor? Pick me pick me pick meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

thanks!

yeah!!!~
hope that her english will be as good as hikaru~

Yay!!!Ayu is trying to learn English!!!!!I think that Ayu was in New York City for about eight months actually, I could be wrong though.

ayu only gives herself 70%...oh well...she knows that no one is perfect and she's trying to learn more english so she can be an international singer so that's great! she's very optimistic and thats what i like about her!

English is hard for most of the Japanese to learn. If you look at it, the subject goes first in Japanese.. and it's the other way around in English.. the verb's in blah, such and such places. XP .. I'd love to be fluent in Japanese and Chinese.. muah! .. Yeah, I think Ayu knows basic English, I'm glad to hear that she wants to learn it though XD.. I mean hey, she sang a little English in,"Real Me," right? :D And I read someplace that she communicates in her concerts in English sometimes.. I think Ayu learning English would be a big accomplishment for her.. I do not know if it was a requirement when she went to school.. (I know she dropped out when she was in 10th grade)

thanx fur da translation and info !!!

at first i wondered if when she dropped out, she was either bricking it thinking ~have i made the right decision? am i gonna end up as an o.l?!~ or if she was just like ~i dont give a **** i can do anything~ but then like, byt then shed already done modelling & acting so she might have thought that was kind of a safety net for her, however trepidous that particular industry may be...
her storys kind of like madonnas tho... moving from some little area to the big city [michigan ~ new york / fukuoka ~ tokyo] and becoming like the most famous woman in that country... they were of similar ages as well... onaji unmei no you ni...

in fact she never like school in japan...she just fax a sheet to school saying "I quit"

that's how she dropped out

I wouldn't blame her for not liking school, especially in Japan. No free time during the day. Study. Study. Study. :weep

It appears Ayumi is really set on learning English !! Thats excellent !! An english album? Nah, that would be too wierd !! I'm glad about her efforts to learn english !! This is excellent news, thank you for sharing !!
