[ARTICLE]Ayu Asking 'Where's The Toilet' In Chinese

滨崎步台北开唱学中文搞笑借问厕所在哪?

日本天后“步姐”滨崎步( 听歌)前晚在台北小巨蛋开唱，返场时频问中文“厕所在哪里”搞笑，结束演唱后，她午夜12时返回晶华酒店，刻意由正门下车，对飞奔而来的粉丝开起签名会；她结束演唱行程，预定搭乘今天下午2时50分起飞的JL64 8班机离台，推算她抵达机场的时间，很可能与中午抵台的陈云林强(听歌)碰。

步姐前晚在台北小巨蛋举行演唱会，安可时，她穿上周边商品的T恤出场，以英文说：“Hello！Taiwa n！Do you enjoy the show?(哈啰！台湾！你们享受这场表演吗？)”左耳失聪的她，也说：“I can hear you！(我听得到你们)”让歌迷安心。

她随即介绍男舞者出场，带动歌迷随音乐摆动双手，男舞者以中文说：“厕所在哪里？”步姊也模仿讲了一次，然后茫然问：“这是什么意思？”她知道原意后，笑得合不拢嘴；她还以中文献唱《Who》，但唱到“但愿今天到永久，祈祷这歌声能够”，最后3字却唱成“小狼狗”。

她前晚午夜12时才返回饭店，在门口帮歌迷签名15分钟，昨天下午4时，她准备前往小巨蛋时，又在饭店门口帮歌迷签了10分钟。她昨晚在小巨蛋演出终场，郑元畅()、林依晨()与彭于晏(blog)都到场欣赏；她预定今天下午离台，最快中午抵达桃园机场第二航厦，中国海协会会长陈云林则预定于11时抵台，双方送、接机人潮预料将塞爆机场。

Ayumi Hamasaki learning Chinese In taipei: asking 'Where's The Toilet?'

Ayumi Hamasaki held a concert on Saturday night, and she kept joking, 'where's the toilet?' in chinese. After the concert, when she reached the hotel, she got down from the front door so she can meet her fans and signed some autographs for them. She will be taking flight JL648 today at 2.50pm to japan.

During her encore, she wore a t-shirt, and said in english, 'Hello！Taiwan！Do you enjoy the show?'. Ayu, whom had lose her hearing in her left ear said, 'I can hear you!) to reassure fans.

Then she introduce her dancers, one of the male dancers said in chinese, 'where's the toilet?', ayu minimicked him and asked in confusion what did that line mean. Ayu break into laughter when she knew the meaning.

She tried to sing a few verse of 'Who...' in chinese, but when she's at the verse of 'From today till forever, i pray that this song will...', the last three words sound like, 'little stray dog' (explanation: the last 3 words, 声能够 should be 'shen ne gou', but she sung, 'xiao lang gou' which is little stray dog in chinese')

Lol!!!! That is too cute!!!! So "Where is the toilet?" is "厕所在哪里"????

That's cute, but you'd think she would be able to sing Who in Chinese well enough by now since she has been performing the acapella since 2007. Also, it says "Ayu, whom had lose her hearing in her left eye said." I dunno if that is a typo in the article or translation, but it caught my attention. :D Thanks for posting more articles!

^sorry. my typo in translation, coz i was thinking of eye when i'm typing.....

LOL! stray dog AH HAHAHA
ayu was saying i'm hungry in chinese, i read it in another article

LOL stray dog :laugh Aw, Ayu's so adorable.

lol!!! it's funny!! thanks for sharing the article!

Wheres the toilet?!?! :mini

Ayu :luv2

Awww...haha! She's funny!

LOL stray dog! Did she realise that straight away? Or was that just a comment by the article? XD

"where's the toilet?" Her dancers get to talk when they were introduced? Or did she just meant Zin who was doing the MC with her at that time?

..i don't think ayu knows enough chinese to know what stray dog means...

Wow that sure was funny !

lol i soo need to see this!

i hope they will put it in the DVD!

i love taiwan article and news about her tour...
thanks for sharing...hahaha little stray dog

Two mispronunciations in one article and they're both so gorgeous! I can imagine Ayu laughing so much when she realised

LOOL

cuteeee
*-*-*-*

"where's the toilet?" ..!! LOL

well, toilet has been one of our most important needs as human being...:D:D

Hahaa, what a funny article. Thanks alot!

poor Ayu-chan...She'll get it right sooner or later. ^-^

(Hopefully...)

Poor Ayu!
But I'm still very proud of her :yes At least she is learning and trying.

lol stray dog, poor ayu, she is too cute! thanks for sharing

'ce suo zai na li?'. LOL so she's asking that. Well, seeing something so insignificant being posted on an article/newspaper... really shows Ayu's POWER in Taiwan/Asia... I bet if Jolin Tsai or something were to ask 'where's the toilet?' in Japanese, no one would bother, maybe except her fan club....

Hahaha lol. Stray dog. Shes too adoreble!

hahah thanks for the article..
the Xiao Lang Gou is just so hilarious..hahaha but can't blame her though?
she's so cute!!!

Hhaha ayu is so cute!..glad that she is back in Japan for a break

aw what a cute mistake ^__^

But not as bad as the time when I asked my friend where she died (Ni si na li?你死哪裡? ) instead of where she was xD (ni shi na li?你是哪裡 )

^ Ouch, that's why Chinese is so intimidating to me... so easy to say something completely wrong!

hehe, sunny^^

i think the newsreporter or who ever wrote the article made a mistake.
i'm 100% sure she didn't say "i can't hear you" to her fans in order to prove her hearing loss, but to make them yell louder.
that's normal on every concert by any artist^^

@Jbrat2219: Yes I gave up and continued with 100% focus on Japanese instead xD (mandarin) Chinese is hard, and not as interesting for me as Japanese.

No you misread ^__^ the article says Ayu yelled "I can hear you!" to make sure her fans know that she can still hear them even though she's deaf in one ear :) I think it's very sweet of her.
