wowaaaa~~~ newest thread....

So we have no idea WHY she was in Bali then? She didn't tweet anything specific?

wow thanks for giving links to all her staff and friends' twitter pages!!

It was likely just a mini vacation since she had a two weeks between concert dates.

But knowing her... she might have had a few promotional shoots done as well, haha. With Ayu, vacations are sometimes more than just vacations.... like when she was choosing demos for Love songs/L/crossroad in Hong Kong last year or something.

this thread better than previous one...（笑）Thank you @truehappiness :)
*between, what's Stan's twitter?

Stanley 'Izumi' Kim (Ayu's friend and location scout) - http://twitter.com/sikepro

I think they might be planning to do covers and a PV shoot in two weeks? I mean it'd make sense since he's already done quite a few shots of POWER of MUSIC and they pretty much were like "Let's do it!" to the single cover / PV directing idea~

Huh, Tim Wellard is friends with one of my friends in Tokyo... interesting...

Shooting with Leslie! I wonder if it's the PV or single cover...

^
she twitted she wanted the PV and single cover too

wow that's cool!
i wonder what is his work in avex specially as one of ayu's staff~

ayu tweeted about some new TA goods? So exciting!!! XD

^maybe that is for DVD/BluRays?

wow the world is so small! I wish I had a friend like this too XD

Sounds like TA goods that all members will get like those 10th anniversary goods~

I wonder what they are.

cool! maybe you can get some juicy info!

^That'll be great ! :D

I think those goods might be the "TA fan club novelty goods#1" that members will be getting by the end of June. I got a mail from TA regarding these at the beginning of this week.

i'm really excited! i hope its something cool!

Yeah, looks like they're planning some slight changes~

Two TA mags per year [one in Spring/Summer and one in Fall/Winter] and two different TA gifts per year, or something...

Cool for the TA Mags changes.

The only thing I'm disappointed is the covers aren't drawings of Ayu anymore. I really loved those <3

Ah! i hope she shot the cover for her new single! seriously can't wait for the single info!

So we (TA) gonna get some freebies? =D

me too they were so cute :luv2

From Ayu
"We should also bring LOVE&HOPE too;)RT @lesliekeesuper: ayu, let's bring POWER OF MUSIC to Asia !!! RT @ayu_19980408 中国の皆に逢いたい～‼"

I got a feeling she's going to have another Asia Tour :D

^ i hope she really will...even though i donno if i can watch it or not~

hopefully this falls into concrete plans...the opportunity of watching Ayu is getting closer

If this is going to be real, I gotta save up some money from now on :P

From Ayu:
:luv2 Yay!

HOLY CRAP!!!!! i want to go so much!!!! HK!!! i'ma coming!!!! :heart

Why did she tweet "crap!" - was it because of her last message where she typed "massage" instead of "message"? Lol

mi|kshake~

omg NYC im def going to be there, if it happens.. :)

OMFG OMFG NYC?! AYU!?

OMG WHY NOT AUSTRALIA :cry

Anyway, super excited if she goes!!! :love

ayu's debut in USA *___*

Why are you all so excited, guys?
It's just the charity book. XD

because some fans will be able to meet Ayu

OMG AYU COMING TO SINGAPORE!??!?!
(all that's left is the tour)

Well, he did say something about the POWER of MUSIC in his tweet as well.

will there be another Asia Tour that あゆ will be doing, soon?

cause they've also mentioned POWER of MUSIC too. no one has said much about it yet, but its exciting, and even taking POWER of MUSIC out, if any fans can see Ayu in person, thats really exciting!!!

if she comes to NYC i'll do my best to go see her too!

I'm in suspense.. I wanna see Ayu in the East Coast~

I actually doubt she will come with Leslie to promote the book in other countries. And if she does, she will be just there in one or two cities I guess, because of her schedule. And it won't be Europe probably.
And her tour will be just in Asia if she extends it, like always. :shrug
It's great for some of you though.^^

OMG I wonder when they'll be promoting this book? If HK then I'll definitely go meet her. If they're promoting it later then I'm SO flying to NYC from MI to see her!!! Hopefully it's during the summer though, then I can see her in HK. :D Also this is unlikely to happen but if only her Asia Tour in HK will happen before August ends, hahaha.

she's serious??

I hope so..based on that statement..

Don't get too excited, Ayu agreed to have paella with Jorge over twitter. She just says stuff like that as it's easier than saying no outright.

though she's working with him anyway, and the reasons behind cannot be compared to the wishes of a random fan, as in any fan lol


why wouldn't she go to HK and those Asian countries, she's been there before, hopefully she gets out of Japan, I need new paparazzi pictures!! :P

Its cute that she does it, but sometimes the fans get really carried away and take her word as 100% confirmation that she's going to do something. We all know how the paella fiasco turned out. So I wouldn't be making plans to go to NYC or Singapore just yet, folks...

I was getting confused too, cause I thought the same thing lol!

mi|kshake~

Haha my thoughts exactly~

I guess we'll have to see how this plays out but all I can say is that if Ayu goes to NYC, I will be there.

hahaha! yeah, but pointless chatter between ayu and fans and what she says to her peers are different things totally. leslie kee is not some random fan ayu is being kind to, leslie kee is a professional who ayu respects and has worked with multiple times.

we should just wait for the confirmation then..
i personally think it's just one of ayu's wishful thinking..
it's probably just gonna be only leslie kee though~

^ I agree. What she says tends to be more exaggerated than what she does.

Wow, that woulds be awesome! NY is doable but I need a date damnit! My work schedule is set a month in advance!

thanks for have brought us back to reality L:DL

I think there's a tiny possibility, but given Ayu's track record, something always comes up.

Remember when she was going to go to Spain like on 5 different occasions?

I always wondered how often Ayu works with KIKU. He has his own band, Camino. They played at A-Kon 2 years in a row. (Anime convention in Dallas, Texas) I got to meet him about 6 years ago. He's such a fun guy, and loves American women. xD He did tell me that he works with Ayu when I met him...I was pretty much floored when I heard that. :)

Once in a while.

He usually just does some guitar work every so often.

Some works with Ayu since '06:
Startin' - guitar
Born To Be... - guitar
LOVE 'n' HATE - guitar
Microphone - guitar
RED LINE ~for TA~ - guitar
blossom - guitar

I wonder if he just so happens to be around when they use him~

What's this about NYC? Is there speculation that ayu will be there soon?
When exactly?
For what?

Fill me in~

Nothing yet.

I thinks finally she's found a paella restaurant in Tokyo and there she got the yen :tipsy

It will be so damn nice if there's a 2nd leg of POWER of MUSIC tour in Asia. I wonder why she doesn't mention Taiwan this time round XS. And S.Korea too, though they're like neighbouring countries LOL.

But if the plan comes true, I pray that the organisers won't be so silly to reject Ayu for a concert this time round ._."

Anyway, hope I will be free by the time (if) she comes to Singapore because I will be enlisting into army soon lol.

If ayu goes to new York I'm there 100% like no doubt

LOL OMG. :laugh

“@Aoi_theGazettE: なぜか移動車のBGMがayumi hamasaki。”

^can anyone translate that...? thank you!

^ that probably means.. when he's on the ride, they play ayu's song in the bgm?

ayu twitted that she finished making a new song and she will record it tomorrow =D

^EXCITED! :D

Leslie tweeted Lady Gaga and told her he'd like to shoot her and ayu together!!

And here's more...

:luv2

Man, things are really interesting recently! I really can't wait for the new song!!!

oh god...he sounds kind of like a desperate fan... :no

i really don't care at ALL for an ayumi x gaga photoshoot. the only reason i would remotely be ok with this is that its to support japan after the quake. =\

^ I agree, he prolly has other means of contacting her and this does sound desperate...

^well, I think Lady Gaga is pretty active on the internet and creates TT herself often, so this is a good way to show her how much people would like the idea. I am not too excited about this but I think the result would be cool if they really did a shoot together.

new song!:heart

it reminds me of fans who tweet ayu the same thing over and over and over, which is never a good idea. poor leslie, lol.

Wow, he's persistent lol!

mi|kshake~

I... want to see this happen, just because it'll result in gorgeous shots hahaha~

It sounds slightly desperate but Gaga must get a million tweets per day so maybe it's just his way of trying to get her attention on Twitter because then fans could get really excited and into the project. Could you imagine Gaga fans googling Ayu after she responds by to him?

Yeah, I'm actually guessing this might not even happen. She's just too busy, and I don't know if she will ever respond...

He's probably tried all other methods of reaching her.

He did mention trying to talk to her reps at Universal Japan with no response. I mean really...

^I agree with this!:yes

Lol I so agree that he is acting like a desperate fan!

I am only okay with it being for charity too... >_<

Took the words right out of my mouth! But I don't think it's going to happen since Leslie has to resort to contacting Gaga on twitter.

^O was that your tweet @Yumsushi, ? ごめんなさい。

NO! I was just quoting you, did I do it wrong? Maybe I should be the one apologizing ^_^

Well, I would like to see it be happened :D

NEW SONG!!! omg i need new Ayu material!!! though i know this isnt the longest wait single-to-single

I think we'll have info about a new single soon(maybe in the start of July). It seems that she finished to write her new song & she just need to record it!

this makes me sad. ayu bb don't feel alone :( we all love you.
I wonder if she's having issues with Mannie.

Yes, this made me sad too :c What's going on?

what???... :(

:( maybe she's just having one of those days.

Mannie69
because your not in my arms. Let's meet “@ayu_19980408: Why do I have to feel so alone???”

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

We love you,Ayu.do not feel alone :(

They are so sickeningly sweet, haha.

I thought it was about Mannie until I saw his tweet to her. ;__; must be those days when you suddenly feel lonely.

His tweet to her was soo cute! hope they meet and she cheers up!
