Looking at how they have been revealed up till now I think that the shadow in question will be revealed tomorrow.

I've got the show set up to record on my DVR. Thanks for the info!

so then is it official that AYu will appear or not it hasn't been confirmed yet

It's not been confirmed yet.

Loves! haha, this is indeed good publicity for both of them. for japan and the rest of asia too!

It hasn't been confirmed, but honestly, I think that it'd be dumb to doubt this.. especially when Ken's is confirmed.. :D

is daily.co.jp reliable for 'rumors' like this??

Well, it's not so much a rumor..

I just labeled it as gossip because I wasn't sure if it was true exactly. I think it's less of a rumor/piece of gossip now and is more.. fact.. :D

You can see Ken Hirai if you scroll down to the TALK ASIA week of 12/4 - 8.. Ayu is going to be at the very end of that schedule most likely [on the 8th] since there's like, still no one there. XD

If she is appearing on the show, does that mean she will speak English during her interview? Wasn't she learning English on her big break?

Dubbing over the people they interview is something Talk Asia seems to love doing. D:

eww...like iron chef...lol...

CNN.com will always have an English / whatever language they have transcript of the interview for anyone that can't see the interview [unlikely since Ayu fans are like.. yeah.. XDD]

But they said she was being interviewed by a "foreign" reporter. I guess meaning American? And I wish they would just subtitle her if her English accent is unrecognizable lol

LOL! Dubbed Ayu, now that's going to be funny!

I think they mean foreign as in someone who isn't Japanese, but is asian and only knowns English or something.. :P

I have Direct TV. They don't have it. :( I even googled it just to make sure I wasn't missing it on the guide. I found a topic on a forum about someone wishing they carried it in Direct TV. XD
here is the thread (XD):

I live in New York and its on channel 133 for me..I have Time Warner cable though

I don't want to doubt this but..
the mysterious figure for the 8th...
looks more like a manly figure than a female...
and ayu is quite petit....
plus there's 3 bubbles/circle under the shadow
ayu's name has 5 character
but that one has 3....
unless they put the chinese version of ayu's name
then that'll work...weird to see that though
chinese letters in a japanese site...

I hope it is true,i am pretty sure that is a channel i have on Foxtel.
