Has Ayu ever been in San Francisco?
 

Just curious since she's been to L.A and N.Y and other places in the U.S

i dont think so... i may be wrong. :( she has been to Hawaii and Guam! which is part of the US too..

In my memory, I think she did...Because once time when I was in a Music Store in Japantown @ San Francisco, I saw the picture of her and the music guy with her autograph in frame...So I guest, she had been there..!

Yeah, she has... for photoshoots... and Bold & Delicious and Pride where recorded in NY, right???

And Fairyland in Hawaii

yep i think so at least thats what i've heard i think she also was in NY for her song startin

^ I think she was in Japan for Startin'. :) Hey, I could be wrong, though! :P

I know she was in NY for appears. I'm going to assume after being in LA, NYC, and Vegas, she's most likely been to San Francisco.

She was in New York before she became a big star for a while I believe. I think it was to take a break from Japan's strict culture.

Quote: The next year, Ayumi accepted the deal and agreed to take singing classes. She missed most of the classes and the label later sent her to New York for lessons in the summer of 1997. This time she enjoyed the class and sharpened her talent in just three months.

"Going to New York promised me nothing in terms of becoming professional. I just had to believe in myself." Ayumi Hamasaki

new york - bold and delicious/pride, appears?
hawaii - fairyland, blue bird? (looks like it...prolly not though...)
los angeles - inspire

when was she in las vegas?! O.O; that seems...sorta odd...
oh, and there was a rumour that she was in colorado (by one of our very own ahs members, whose boyfriend, or friend, or someone, said that they heard that ayu was there for a vacation...i think...correct me if i'm wrong)

She was in Las Vegas just before Secret's announcement that it was a full album.

ah, ok
was it just for a vacation? or what?

BLUE BIRD wasn't recorded in Hawaii... somewhere else... At an island not far from Japan, or something...

Ah, yes! INSPIRE! she went to LA for INSPIRE...

I dunno about Startin', but when she enters the "recordinghall" for the videoclip she says: Hello! :yes

yea, that's what i thought about blue bird
i haven't seen the making of for startin'. sorta doubt that she made it in the us...

yeah, me too!

New York: appears, Pride, Bold & Delicious
LA: INSPIRE
Hawaii: fairyland
Las Vegas: vacation
Washington: the photoshoot for her 2007 calendar (page of may & june)
That what I think...!

maybe she went to visit san fran while she was in LA for the inspire shooting?
smart computer: washington as in the state or the capitol? (capital? sp?)

for Blue Bird she went to Dubai

THANK YOU. :)

Just want to point out that she's also been to Miami, Florida for a photoshoot (which I requested but still didn't get any responses... XD jk~).

That was also for the Madonna concert too, right?

when will madonna go to an ayu concert?! she should respect her japanese non-evil doppleganger =D

wait i thought she want to chicago for a modonna concert??

Oh, yes! You're right! :bchuck Little Ayu went twice... XD

Hmm... now that I think about it, did she go to Chicago?

Wasn't that just kinda like a pit stop for some flight transfer?

I thought she went somewhere else...

EDIT: look at the FAAQ, at misc. it says:

She went to Miami for the Madonna concert I think.

^yeah, it was in miami...and i think she mentioned eating at a restaurant there or something...seems like j_nerd said he knew where the retaurant was too.

SURREAL clip was filmed in Hawaii and Dearest in LA too

I heard SURREAL was filmed by Oregon or something, cause of the ship that was in the background.

Ayumi in Washington for a photoshoot? What?

For SURREAL.

This guy went back and filmed a sort of "new version" with his wife as Ayu. :O

to add to that, here's the link to his video (found it in the thread, just wanted to post it for those lazy bums who didn't feel like going through the thread)

if she went 2 SF, i would definitely wanna find her xD

:O which store was that?

I don't know if she ever went to SF

And about New York, she went multiple times... No one mentioned the shooting of her 2003 calendar, which was made there.

And I think GUILTY artwork was made in location somewhere in Arizona, California or near L.A., I don't remember

^I believe it was in Las Vegas that GUILTY was shot in.

Wasn't it at the Grand Canyon?

Which store??

I thought it was shot while she was in Vegas...

GUILTY stuff was shot in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and LA.

^So yea, Vegas, I thought it was shot there...and in LA. ^^
