Ayu just posted something "@ayu_19980408: 2011年12月30日にOPENしたHOTEL Love songsもいよいよ明日と明後日の2日間で閉館となります。この10ヶ月間、そりゃもう色んな出来事があ りました。けれど、最後が君達の笑顔ならそれでいい。その笑顔が見たいから残りの2日間も私の全てで行きま す‼ 支配人ベイべ。"

Does it mean tt hls arena tour is ending and the DVDs are coming out soon? :p

The tour ends tomorrow in Japan. It's been in the schedule.

lol Nothing about the DVD's ;) Just that the tour started 10 months ago on 12/30 and will be ending tomorrow. And she wants to see all of us smiling on these two final days :)

Wish I was gonna be there!!

You can tell from the eyes, haha.

It's someone from Kishidan, Shuya, Ayumi, Natsuki and the short haired person on the right I don't recognize.

Ahhh! I love that picture!

That pic is cute!

That Kishidan character is the singer of the band, called Ayanocozey Show (Shouyan), also famous of being the alter ego DJ OZMA.
He was also famous of being in the trio Yazima Biyoushitsu if anyone remembers them. :D

Yazima Beauty Salon was hilarious.

i wish ayu was on Instagram :D

I got few songs by Yazima Beauty Salon on my laptop. :D When I heard those for the first time I just wondered, "WTF I'm listening to?!". 8D

Anyway, that group photo is so lovely. It makes me smile too. <3

I wish instagram was a hit to Japanese media market.

isn't it Mica Noguchi?

Ryan just posted this pic on fb

"AYU & SHUYA ENJOYING MEAL by RYAN CHAN
HOTEL Love songs AFTER PARTY"

They are so classy and cute :love

edit: he just added this one as well haha

Omg they look so cute~ :love She's just GORGEOUS !
I want more pictures like this haha.

the 2nd pic reminds me of milliah kato
hhee

OMG SHE'S SO CUTE IN THE 2ND PHOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!

she looks like a little girl in the second photo..she is a trully forever young woman

Haha, those photos are cute! ^-^

she looks so prettttyyyyy on the after party pics, love her hairstyle too~

adorable

She is so cute & classy <3 Shuya always looks so tired. Or maybe he's just old. How old is he?

The after party pics are super cute and lovely!! Really really like them!!

^^ He's relatively close to the same age as Ayu. I believe he was 25 in the my name's WOMEN PV so that makes him about 32? rough estimate haha

she's too pretty...i can't....

Shu-ya smokes a lot...when i watched her concert back to 2008 in Shanghai, while i'm waiting for Ayu on the backstage stadium door...i saw him go out and smokes...i believe he smokes a lot, that's why he aging quite fast

She looks radiant in those pictures.

Ohmy, he looks so much older than her :o

Gorgeous new pics! Her skin is so perfect.

many people looks much older than her, even her female dancers. I think the age difference is only 1-2 years

Ayu probably has that youtfulness in er DNR :laugh

also i love that her hair is messy xD seems like she's having lots of new ones growing out xD Tho i think she needs to stop pulling her bangs up, it doesn't really suit her much, would look so much better with them down like on LOVE covers.

btw, who's that man in blue shirt? M...ax?

^yes, M...ax)

Max is forever young as well...
His looks is never change...

My God, the new photos...ayu looks so pretty!!!!!!

Huh, I almost bought the matching jacket to Urata Naoya's shorts. :P

My god, she is CUTE.

Wow, these pics remind me SO MUCH of Ayu back in 2001-2003 face-wise.
Her skin is unreal... so nice. Lighter makeup suit her so much too.

She's so cute!!

her skin is completely flawless. *~*;
she's gorgeous.

she looks so fresh in the party pics..her smile looks genuine

She is so cute!

Dang, I'm late
But Ayu looks so lovely!
It's nice to see her look human for a change.

recently i like her eye makeup... it kind of gives her... sleepy looking eyes? i think it's a lighter version of "tare me" makeup to cause her eyes to look like they're slanting downwards.

or she's drunk.

either way i like her look right now lol.

so cute sooo cute!!!

Who OS the hair dude she is hanging out with?
Can we expect a colab with him on one of these releases?

lol :laugh

The hair dude?

I should say I like RYAN photography except PQ album

omg im late xD but anyway shes TOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE! i just cant... too cute!

anyway why I saw her hair is a bit shorter?? its not like thick and wavy like before,dont Ayu please dont you say that...

and and why she always walking with Shuya on the red carper or is that the entrance and wheres the other dancers?

The guy with the blond hair... He has this weird thing homing on with his hair.

^
that is Kisihdan's leader, known as Shouyan or Dj Ozma

Oh, cool. I wonder if they are making a song together...

^Actually, he had sung with Ayu One night carnival at her HLS concert. It's why he was at the party.

They've been friends for years. He often attends her concerts.

During the 10th anniversary concert, I remember he asked Ayu to be his bride or something, haha.

I didn't know he is Dj Ozma %) I thought he is another freak %)

omg so THATS DJ OZMA lol...

5 years until their wedding

Those After Party photos are so beautiful. I love Ayu's hair style too. :heart

This,i laughed when i saw ayu sang at their show and then they sang One Night Carnival at HLS, remembering that he ever asked Ayu at her AT08 to marry her on her 20th Anniversary! haha omg who knows they actually dating?? LOL j/k :P

^^

lol Ayu use picture with fixed colors from weibo instead of official cover
http://i.imgur.com/SRrht.jpg

^

aaah! no wonder the color looked deep and bright compared to the ori wash-out color of the cover haha

I really like the covers, the light ones and the dark ones!

'Kazuki Okabe' aka Mr. Kaz took some photos at HOTEL Love songs. Thankfully that means that he's still around... he used to be the head of TeamAyu and then kinda disappeared after 2010.

I think Minazo also had a bit of a disappearance, which is sad.

^
Minazo, I always mistaken him with Gori,now I completely forgot how Minazo look like >.<

kinda sad to see her team members just disappeared sometimes,like Eguchi Nobuo and Bancho

LOVING this photo! So cute!

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y13...36429341_n.jpg

^ Lick it girl! :D

I cant wait for the next tour!! Hopefully I'll be in Japan this time!

it is so much better, even so, the photos are just too beautiful no matter what colour :luv2

Ayu seems to be at Las Vegas now

^ Oh to have the life of a celebrity and jet set off to wherever you wanted to go. :)

Such a pretty photo. I wonder what she is up to there in terms of business. New PV/recording/covers/anything for the next release maybe?

The colours look far better on this one! Do you have the CD only cover, too?

Oh no!! Who is she marrying this time? :D

oh so true, that photo is so beautiful and mesmerizing what a life when you can go to wherever amazing place whenever you want! lucky !:thud


by the way wonder if it is just for relaxing or work?

hahaha! :D

i'm surprised no one has calculated the angle of the window to the scenery to decide what hotel she is in. :D

^ give it a few more hours... someone will post where she is.
I wish she would go back announcing when she is and where so people can stalk her and stuff!
I want her to sign some of my stuff! lol

If I remember well, the last time she was in Las Vegas it was to get some ideas for RnRC tour.

*whips off glasses* *looks up from calculations* Bellagio.
Unless for some reason she's staying at Planet Hollywood, which doesn't seem quite like the hotel Ayu would pick. Bellagio is much more her style. Hasn't she stayed there before?

Better than the lighter covers. Ayu doesn't look like she's freezing now.

I really liked the lighter colors...

is this official or did someone just darken them?

Glad she chose that pic as her new profile pic ;-)

Love it

Well, the last time Ayu was at Las Vegas was actually after she married, she stayed there with Mannie, and they were afraid of press or something like that

Omg I just saw the pic of her doing a handstand on a watermelon...freakin hilarious! LOL

Has to be. Pretty sure Planet Hollywood is to the right of Paris in that picture~


ugh I'm so jealous of all the shopping I know she's so gonna do. The Hermes is in there :cry

I hope she will back in Tokyo soon for some tv live ;___;

She just tweeted she's at a hair salon on Sunset Blvd., back in LA again. Natsuki is tweeting from there about shooting started. Haven't noticed anything from other staff yet.

Ayu tweeted: drink to that.

^ aww.. buts theres no new thread, so I cant drink to that. :*(
lol

dancer KO mentioned experiencing jet lag, so he may be in LA for the shoot as well

lol di ayu just tweeted something to GACKT .....

seems like GACKT was asked by a fan if he'd seen her latelly and he said he had...... o_O

Yes, I was just about to post this. A fan asked GACKT if he had seen Ayu lately and he said yes. They had met for the first time in a quite a while and went to a yakiniku restaurant and drinking together. He said that she was as cute and fun as always and that if Yoshiki (x-japan's leader) had been with them, the night would have been truly dangerous. Basically how he worded it implies that all three of them are heavy drinkers/partiers.

Then it looks like Ayu replied that she got drunk with Gackt to the point of being hung over the next day and having a hang over is rare for her. Then she says by all means lets drink together with Yoshiki next time. :)

Can't Ayu and Gackt just realize they would be awesome together already?

Planet Hollywood is on the same side of the street as the Paris. That pic should definitely be from the Bellagio.

^ wow thanks for the translation and explanation..
that's so cool that they still meet up!

^
^Thanks for the explanation! I would love to go drinking together with Ayu and GACKT :P

thanks for the explanation!

they need to post a pic when they meet up! ghhh~~~ lol

Gosh I just think party (queen) Ayu would be so much fun! Haha. I can just imagine her being so full of energy and laughs, lol.

I wish ayu and Gackt were together lol...they sound so fun.

Oh dear... ayu and GACKT...

@SunshineSlayer
Thank you for the translation!
I think we need a collaboration single between AYU×GACKT as soon as possible, and let's all spread this rumor in AYU's twiter mention? haha :lech

Also...they need to get married already, like seriously.:heart

^ no. GACKT needs to stay away from ayumi (musically) their voices would not mesh very well for me...
(but I hate GACkts voice, soooo i'm basis)
