ayu's twitter/weibo thread ~part 25~
This thread is for discussion of Ayu on Twitter and Weibo social networking sites (SNS) ONLY, NOT TeamAyu blogs. Do NOT repost TA blogs (from Misa-chan, TA site and/or somewhere else) here.
And PLEASE BE CIVIL with the discussions. http://twitter.com/ayu_19980408 http://weibo.com/2291250415 Other twitter accounts related to ayu Spoiler:
Boy, it reached 27 pages on the last thread! I've been on AHS roughly once a day (compared to possibly several times about five years ago), mainly because the interest of Ayu has been lacking over the past few years... Anyways, what were we talking about in the previous thread? I heard something about a baby or something... (And why has Misa-chan recently not been posting recent [protected] TA posts on her blog?) |
It's relating to a tweet in English that ayu left yesterday. It's ayu... Leave it to the imagination! lol
|
She's not pregnant.
|
She'd probably adopt anyway.
|
Whaaat? Did I miss anything?? I've read her english tweet but what does it mean she's gonna have a child?
|
^ yeah she tweets something vague in english and everyone goes nuts over the imagining things and speculation, it's AHS xD
|
She posted a few new tweets on twitter since that vague English post. I doubt she'll follow up and share what that was about.. Maybe just a random emo moment? Lol
Maybe a snippet of new lyrics? Haha |
(And why has Misa-chan recently not been posting recent [protected] TA posts on her blog?)
This is my question too.. I really miss her translations, and everything she does.. |
Ayu hasn't been very active on TA the last months, so it's not like you're missing much.
Going from menopause to pregnancy, the wonders of biology. |
Yeah, her diary has become a staff blog since her entry saying she was feeling too much pressure and thinking of running away from it all. Since then her managers have done all but 1 of the entries.
|
menopause ...........who metioned this XDDDD so creative= =
|
I think Ayu english post is about her left ear..... Surely it's getting worse. She needs to rest properly, she's working during the whole year! :no
|
Quote:
At the beginning I thought that tweet was related to new lyrics, but also her deaf ear is a good find..When I read here about this supposed pregnancy I almost collapsed LOL :thud |
It's probably just a lyric from a song she was listening to at the time.
|
Quote:
still i hope if it is about her ears,she will tell fans soon,or not im happy that it is nothing serious to be worried for |
ohhh... all this crazy stuff lol... Maybe it's the fact that she is going to retire sooner then she thought????
Aw! so not fair... I will never get to see her in concert!!! But course, i think she kinda stays less active when she is touring?? |

About Misa's translations... she runs a blog dedicated to TA posts. (Well, among other Ayu-related things.) Ayu once mentioned that she feels like TA should stay within TA...so Misa's TA entries are password-protected. Ask Misa for the link and password.
Anyways, back to the English tweet... it probably was a bit of an emo moment. She goes off and says a few vague things every now and then and just leaves it. It's weird that it was in English, but ah well. Ayu can be very unpredictable at times. |
完全に寝るタイミング逃した、、、＿|￣|○
I completely missed the time of sleep 眠すぎるぜこんなろ( ꒪⌓꒪ ) がんばんべこんなろ( ꒪⌓꒪ ) something about that she's too sleepy |
Quote:
|
No one knows for sure, it's just assumptions. Half of the theories are based on lyrics translated from Japanese to English...not to be taken literally or seriously at all.
|
So Misa is updated her blog, thank you for that!<3

Who died? Ayu just tweeted "R.I.P."
|
Gomi also tweeted RIP, and Ayu retweeted that. Just based off of Google translation, in the tweet before that she mentioned something about the rain (as did Gomi) but also mentioned a lady who tried to stay strong...hmmm :/
|
sadness, I wonder who it was.
|
Gosh, I don't understand why...
|
Quote:
|
Ahh :( I wonder now if she was talking about this person in her English tweet from a few days ago...
Since Gomi knew that lady, it must've been someone who worked with them(?), maybe another dancer from years ago :O I hope they are alright :( |
I don't think they're connected since the only english parts of today's tweets was RIP
|
Quote:
She's becoming bilingual and we bilingual people can switch as much as we want in one sentence or when talking about something in particular. |
For me they're totally connected. Her words didn't sound really happy to the most of us. Maybe she'll write a TA entry.
|
Compared with other times she's tweeted in english, they usually relate to her foreign fans or atleast to friends in the U.S. or UK.
Her & Gomi's tweets seem to be related to a mutual japanese friend. You could be right about them being related, but my opinion is that if they were, the tweet in english would have been in japanese like 99% of her tweets are. She doesn't usually switch between languages because she's bilingual, she only uses english when trying to speak to someone who only speaks english or atleast as their primary language like she does with Timmy. |
If the tweet was about someone dying, maybe she originally posted about it in English for a reason, like she wanted to be able to express her feelings without a ton of Japanese fans asking to explain it. But, I'm not sure the two are related, so meh.

For me she used english to share this sad news with her japanese fans & her foreign fans.

OT, Misachan just postd her translation, so ayu said this

|
it looks like the released the first chapter of the book, it was the heart and nails stuff
|
^ Yup, on the back of the photobook you can see "AYUMI HAMASAKI LIFESTYLE BOOK VOL.1" , can't wait to know what the vol.2 will be about :P
|
i see! ok what a good strategy for more money Avex
|
maybe the R.I.P tweet could be about her friend that committed suicide a few years back, the one she wrote 'untitled ~for her~' about
|
is it that time??
|
Quote:
|
^ I dont think the two are related.
I mean, its not like the date changes every year or not? I could just be something completely off the wall... she might even be in love again... or the fact that she is over something? |
^Well, I said "if" in my initial post. I don't really know, I was just making up a possible reason for her to have used both Japanese and English to talk about a single subject. Just because Ayu doing that in general, not about this specific topic, could make sense.
|
^ I know you said if and you were just giving your thoughts... I was just saying mine. :). I mean they could be...
But when talking about your friend's death... I just dont see it 'happening earlier than I thought' to be the right way of phrasing the sentience... it could be a translation thing of course as well. |
Perhaps the two tweets are connected, like some people have mentioned. I do believe that could be possible. Who knows, in Ayu's case, perhaps she didn't expect anyone else close to her dying anytime soon. Nobody expects death, but perhaps in her case, it was just too soon, "Earlier than expected".
|
Twitter - I have just written the most operatic melody for years. It's a good thing - I think... xxx (Timmy)
I wonder if it's for ayu! :P |
i really wish someone would say what is going on...
a single... a mini... a new album... SOMETHING! someone!! |
So far there are rumors about a mini album in November, check out the ayu rumors thread :D
|
^ I did... where did you get the info??
|
Quote:
so..this mini album news...hmmm |
^ but we didnt get a single on the 23...
So its a 50/50 change that this might be real. |
^ tomato, toMAHto. We got something :laugh

https://twitter.com/i/#!/search/?q=I...t...+&src=typd I think the average Japanese High School graduate has enough knowledge of English to translate or get the gist of a simple sentence like "It just might happen earlier than I thought...". Those are simple words that are used to construct sentences. |
I saw fan made this on twitter, kawaii~

Plus if you actually check the replies and retweets to that thing, there are plenty of Japanese that have managed to decipher Ayu's mysterious message written in ancient code/language. (that's sarcasm) |
^ and.... the ones in china have to use english for business which is probably why they are there?
Honestly, I dont the your story, I'm just going by my friends that are ATL's in Japan right now... the average population there really dont speak the language that well unless they use it on a daily basis. |
Same as my experiences living in Japan for 3 months. English is not as common as I heard it was before going there, but there are alot of japanese people with better english skills than what they're taught in school.
Plus in school they don't learn to speak english, but they do learn to read it. The ones who speak english have gone for extra schooling. |

When I lived in Japan the only Japanese people I met that spoke any English were the ones married to American men. But, I did live on the American base, so...
Actually, there was one girl who studied English very hard and she was very easy to talk to, but we had nothing in common. The best friend that I made spoke English very poorly, but we had the most fun being crazy. Crazy is universal. But, I suppose with the sheer number of fans Ayu has its possible a few of them knew what she was saying. |
I was fortunate to be at a guesthouse where the managers were in their last years of school to become english teachers. But I also ran into a few who spoke english when I was walking around Tokyo & attended a church where most were bilingual.
Since returning from Japan, I joined a facebook group with a few japanese celebrities in it, one who has been bilingual her whole life & a few trying to learn english. One also has a boyfriend from England who has taught me alot from his experience living and working in Ibaraki. |
^ tokyo is really different because thats where most of the english speaking crowds are..
its a huge English epeaking business hub |
^^Like, super famous Japanese celebrities? Or people like Miray, Mini and Sifow?
|
^From what I was told by those I spoke with there, it's not even common in Tokyo. They will usually be able to read a message you write in english capital letters, but unless you happen to find someone studying english like those at the guesthouse, don't count on anyone understanding a word you say. Outside the guesthouse and church, I found only 3-6 japanese people who understood spoken english in 3 months. But they are almost all very kind and generous people, which makes being there much more enjoyable than being here.
|
No, the most famous one I spoke to was Sora Aoi. They are mostly from JAV, 2 of them retired. They lost alot of family in the Tohoku Quake & Tsunami including 1 who lost her entire family. So I tried to stay in contact with them & contact missionaries who knew my late pastor's family when they were missionaries there for 25 years to help find missing family members. But before they could help it was discovered half the list of names had been killed.
|
English speaking Japanese people tend to find you, lol.
My friend was sitting in a laundromat one day, a woman walked in, got an EXTREMELY happy look on her face, ran out of the laundromat and returned with an English phrase book to talk to my friend, lol. It's much easier to play spot the foreigner than spot the English-speaking-Japanese :D But I mean in general, from my experience living here, Japanese people are a.) very embarrassed about their English and don't want to use it, or b.) could care less about it because they don't need to learn it/retain it |
^I noticed that with talking to those learning english on Facebook too. It's like they don't know how well they are doing at it because they are afraid to use it. The week I met one of the retired JAV stars, I helped her figure out how to block an american that was harrassing her online & we ended up having 2 hour talks each day for the next 2 weeks & even though her grammar was slightly off she was doing much better thn she gives herself credit for.
And yeah they can get really excited when they see an opportunity to use english. |
Well... I have some japanese friends, who are able to understand and speak english. So.. it is same like in Germany, I think. We learn it in school.. but I also know a lot of people, who are not able to understand it any more.
It depents on the person, if they keep the skills or loose it, I think. |

^ I dont think you can really generalize a population like that...
everyone is going to be a different case |
Quote:
Well.. when I was in school, we begun learning English from the 5th year on. No matter what school you went to. Now, they start from the first year of school. And... in the Hautschule, there are two different couses, for learning English.. normal and advanced. It was called "E" and "G" Kurs. So... you can't say, people from the Hauptschule had a lower level. That's not really true. |

I just tweeted ayu her own lyrics. "No rain, can't get the rainbow..." ♥ ♥
|
Quote:
But ok... every person has his own opinion. Any we seems to have really different opinions. No problem. I don't wanna argue about it. And it is really off-topic. (^_^) Isn't it? |
^ I also tend to think it depends on who you hang out with...
If your main language is English then you are going to find people that speak english better so you have someone to talk o. |
Someone know what the meaning ayu's last 2 tweet? I can't translate it, google translate is messy:
Quote:
|
^
im quite sure those are her new lyrics,maybe shes working on them now,she did that yesterday too, and the interesting part is when Timmy tweeted about composing a song for a female singer,yeah Quote:
|
Timmy's done more tweets about the songs he's working on.
|
oh, okay, because it sounded very sad, but if we talking about an ayu lyrics, then it's normal..
|
coolness.
I hope he has done a lot of the new songs... (as long as they are good. No more ESM!) |
I was actually sad not to see any Timmy composition on LOVE. I hope we get at least 2 or 3 more of his songs soon though with the sheer amount of "working on new songs" stuff he posts. But unlike TeamAyu2004, I hope for more ESM and less hbya xD
|
Yeah more Timmy but bolted on the chair composing and writing music
Get him out of the album booklets and PVs... Why is there so much hate towards Eyes,Smoke,Magic? That is such a cool song its my favorite after Return Road |
^ thats because it was a horrible song... or I should say it, 3 songs... my main problem with it is because it is trying to be 3 different songs... and it fails.
And what booklet was he in... i dont remember him in party queen... |
^Denial,pure denial ;-p
|
about the song or the booklet??? lol (it might be both)
|
Timmy's tweet... He sounded drunk or something. And unless he's bringing his Billiante-level game for composing he needs to bugger off.
|
Depends on what Ayu asks for really.
I'd hope for BRILLANTE/how beautiful you are level rather than ESM/the next LOVE (fan outcry was horrible for those) BUT it seems like Ayu is probably over her musical/Broadway phase so hopefully whatever he does could end up as an electropop number or a sweeping ballad. |
^ yeppers! I hope so...
|
^
yeah i agree with that, no ESM/the next LOVE nightmare after this ,hope so, and no him in the booklet,just meh |
Quote:
|
ESM/the next LOVE are fabulous songs :/
