I said this.. I though Hikki should come out of retirement just for this event..

OMG AN AYU x UTADA COLLABORATION WOULD BE SO EPIC!
Wonder how it would sound, who would compose/arrange etc. ?

Two of my favorite J-Pop singers singing together?!?!? *faints*

My attempt at translating this:

Charity Concert by Ayumi Hamasaki Under Consideration

On March 13, 2011, artist Ayumi Hamasaki revealed on her own Twitter that a charity concert was now being held under consideration.

Immediately after the earthquake on March 11th, Hamasaki posted and spread useful pieces of information related to the earthquake via her Twitter.

In addition, she posted messages such as, "There are certainly times when people cannot persevere and stay strong based on their own will. So let's steadily keep on encouraging each other" and "Let's try our best to smile!"

Her fans gave her the request, "Because of all what's happening right now, we ask that you consider holding a charity concert m(__)m." She replied on a positive note, "The A Staff (TeamAyu/Ayumi Hamasaki Official Fan Club) has been giving all of its energy to fulfill your request. Thank you very much for your input!"

It's not just Ayumi Hamasaki. Well-known people, with their voices of encouragement, seem to have a great power of restoring smiles all throughout Japan.



I wouldn't be surprised if there are some errors in there. Sorry about that! But this is my best attempt at translating the article. Hope you guys found it useful!

Thanks for the translation. I really hope this happens.

She should quickly revamp at11 and make it a charity tour where all profits go to charity

Thank You! I hope she does do a charity live! but somehow i dont think an extravagant and lavish concert would be fitting, something more personal and intimate like her encores but a whole concert like that?

I would love a Ayu x Kuu or Ayu x Namie or Ayu x Hikki collaboration. :heart

I seriously hope this Charity Live would become true and there would be other artists as well as guests.

It could end up being an avex project like a-nation.

she has to do it. It should be a all-avex-singer event imo

i hope... avex's 3 DIVA collaborations.... ayu x Kuu x Namie.... singing on the same time, on the same stage, with medley songs... *giggle*

a song is born
the meaning of peace (???)
wishing on the same star *giggle again*

^ that would be really cool to see all three of them together except it's sad we would have had to wait for such a sad occasion for that to happen.

It's a nice idea.
But it would be great to have 2 or 3 live in Europe & US too. At least we can donate too.

Even if she donated 5 million yen, It's still something at all isn't it? It's up to her if she donated either 5 yen or 50 billion. And it's also up to her if she spends 10 million yen on clothes (I honestly don't believe this).

Ask for a traslation ........... thank you

Thanks for qwery's translation

GO Ayu GO!!

Apart from raising money, artists and music can help pple's heart cheer up so I really hope Ayu and other singers will do it.

Thanks for the headsup and translation!

Let's go Ayu! Please do support Japan and continue performing and making great music for everyone in the Japanese community! (add people around the world also who are interested in Ayu's music and/or Japanese pop music)

I do hope this happens. thnx for the translation. And I'd love to see Kumi there, why not.
