Aww, that's sweet of Ayu. :D

I just read this over at Arama lol

THAT IS JUST SO SWEET :''''') I loved reading that Mao listened to Ayu right before her performances. I love hearing other people's stories about idolizing Ayu and such :D

LOL. Shows how easily amused I am, I enjoy the thought of watching the audience jolt simultaneously at Free & Easy. XD

I doubt she would have asked, even if she was supposed to. :P

How sweet of ayu <3

No, the people who were in that PV were from an acting school in Japan, I believe.

Ah that's really sweet! haha :D

sweet news :smitten

awww that's soo sweet of Ayu :D

I saw her win the silver medal... or lose the gold... she wasn't too happy when they announced the score ;)
but she was still amazing ^^

Mao was stunning. As was Kim Yuna. They were both quite graceful.

I think it's kinda cute how Ayu sent her a CD. She seems like a genuinely kind person.

i think mao did a better job :S

Aww that is sweet of Ayu! I was proud of Mao! I really did think that Mirai did a wonderful job and was sad she didn't get the Bronze. However, I think Joannie did rather well too.. and my heart breaks for her even still..

i saw her performance on tv! she was awesome... too bad she only got silver~~~ nice to hear ayu is tuned in to the olympics toO!!　

this is handsome

I would have loved it if Mao had done an Ayu song for her performance...I have watched the skating almost every night it's been on here and I love it xDD

Maybe if Mao is present at the next games she and Ayu should do some sort of sponsorship...I think that would be immensely popular considering how much everyone I know has been watching these games!

AW, how sweet! If I knew I would get to meet Ayu if I were an ice skater, I would have been ice skating a long time ago...:P Just kidding.
I love both of them though, so having two such people meet is awesome!

that's really nice of Ayu, i really wanted Mao to win!!

but it's kinda weird listening to some sad songs before skating...

Hm, I guess. It's only speculation that she was listening to YW/B.... she possibly could have been listening to WE WISH according to some sources.

Who knows, ballads are soothing to listen to before a tense event...

Ayu and Mao were together in the same CM for Weider:

How nice of Ayu. So much for people saying that Ayu isnt popular with the young crowd.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, I find some really young teens (boys and girls) who are fans of Ayu on ameblo. She really has fans of all ages. Apparently, this is really obvious at concerts...
