TA Messages 352-356 - lotsa stuff here. :P

Funny story! I signed into TA this morning and saw FOUR MESSAGES to translate. x_X!! I did the first two, and then did other stuff for a good part of the day. Then I signed back on tonight, finished the other two, and they were really really really long o_O!! And THEN! I refreshed the page, and while I was translating, Ayu had blogged AGAIN! Luckily it was a short entry.

RECAP FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANNA READ THIS HUUUUGE POST:

Maro did the best christmas tree decorating, ayu has a weird sleep schedule, ayu is very stubborn about doing things herself even to the point of injury and her staff totally loves her & wants to help (it's a good story, you should read the post), an uncut version of AT08 WILL be released on DVD, ayu taped two TV lives today, and apparently it's December now.

Enjoy the translations!

Maro's photo was uploaded in Today's Photo, to my great delight, and I thought after having been on the computer for 2 hours that maybe I should do a post after that, but then I wasted time and then I went to sleep.

So, having gotten impatient at 2:00 AM, after having wrongly guessed that it was about 2:00 PM or so (lunch time), this silly Hama-chon knew that midnight had already come once she came out YO!!

See, I'd been having a REALLY nice dream, so when I woke up I thought I should go back to sleep and maybe continue the dream, but when I eventually did go back to sleep, it seems the dream had ended without me already. (lol)

Now, if I may say what I've been up to...

I've been working lyrics for a new song (not the one I recorded yesterday, it's another one).

And it's really hard rock!!!!!! :)!!

The beginning of it borrows your tension until the moment it really grabs it, LOL.

But I was able to do good---- o/~ I'm happy with it (*^_^*)

Aah! Which reminds me...

Maro's T-Shirt doesn't have a deep V-neck today, sorry (lol)... next time look forward to it!

Well, although I was interrupted halfway I can't seem to go back to sleep, so after this I'm gonna do the Christmas Tree decorating------!! o/~

This is work that I really really love doing every year. (lol)

But some of my staff already are decorating trees everywhere.

Just now I went ahead & counted them to see, and there are 6.
I said, "6!!!" all serious & surprised. lol

I thought should take a photo of whoever did the absolute most beautiful decorating~.

Hence, the Today's Photo upload!

-Hamachonchan.

Today is the on-air date for the final japanese show in Yoyogi.
I thought I could post something for you to read before the broadcast
started if I dashed over here.

But... I'm pretty sure this will take a long time to write, so it'll be fine for you to read it after the show has ended.

While editing the show for tonight's broadcast, I reeeeeeeeeaaally remembered alot of things.

Good things, bad things, everything.

I was able to objectively look at the Yoyogi performance with fresh eyes, and then, with amazing speed, my memories of it all came back.

But although it's not much, this one writing will not be the usual length, so since this is a serious matter and I'd like to explain it, please listen to me talk about the start of the tour...

It was the day I said, "tomorrow rehearsal ends!".

At last, we found ourselves at the starting line, the first day of the show was right around the corner, it was the big moment. Through my own imperfections & carelessness, I had an accident.

I worked so hard experimenting on every single thing, desperately, for months. "One more day!!" I'd say, and that would be a mortifying day where I was mad at myself...

But basically, at the time, I tried to understand completely that I didn't have the type of personality where I'd talk to other people about my personal feelings on things at all, and I needed to resolve that.

But originally, in order to attack the places that weren't flawless, after the accident, I'd put practical questions up against this difficult situation. Of course, it wasn't possible for me to participate in what would be the last rehearsal.

So yeah, the rehearsal was performed without me. I was very apologetic and regretful about it, which was really baseless, because I was in the hospital.

So then that night, after the rehearsal was finished, I suddently got a phone call from Go-mi.

He said, "You can't keep working so hard by yourself! Why do you think we're here?! We'd defend you to the very last no matter what!! So please, depend on us more!" He was seriously yelling at me.

And immediately after this I got another call, this time from Peco. "Ayuchan," she said, "if there's something that's too much for your abilities, when it gets to be too much, we're all absolutely completely able to handle it. So it's okay."

And before Yoyogi, Kayanocchi called many times even while I was crying, saying "All the guests are waiting for Ayu-chan, so we would like to play your songs. So we'll do what we can to keep trying until Yoyogi." She said this over & over again.

These three people have been kindly watching over me for the last 10 years, so I've kept running alongside those three.

But in these whole ten years, they'd never been able to share their emotions straight up with me.

So my heart was incredibly shaken by it.

How can I explain this... until that time, I was stubborly straining myself with everything, and at the moment I knew how they felt, I released myself.

And then I got to thinking.

If I have these members, we can absolutely struggle towards our goals together!
I made a pledge to myself that when we start something, we should do it to the end!!

So after making that decision from the bottom of my heart, when I saw all the members & many of the staff who were at Yoyogi, how do I say it... I was so thankful and felt so warm, that I absolutely believed that even if the curtains never opened, this tour would be absolutely amazing.

So there were various things this year's tour started with....

And I just barely made it in time.
I did pretty awesome writing this.

If you read all the way through it, I thank you.
See you later.

So, did you see it, everyone??
It felt like just an instant since it was only 90 minutes long, definitely.

Being such a restricted time, there are many scenes cut out, and when you see them you'll understand.

And yet the only scenes I couldn't cut no matter what were things like before the curtain went up, the wait for the encore, the wave...

In any case, everybody in the venue's faces are shown.

Only in those places were no cuts made. Did you notice?

Basically, everyone is important to the show, not just the people who helped create it, and I wanted to edit the show in a way that conveyed that.

And so, everyone who was able to watch, you'll get the whole show when we release the uncut edition on DVD! Those who are regretful because they couldn't watch today, don't be sad, it's okay!!

Because it will make it a more brilliant piece of work, and make it a brilliant shining crystal, I'm going to properly start a trip to everyone's origin.

Please wait for that.

And when I can take the time to, I'll write the proper continuation to the tour story I wrote about earlier, since I haven't yet.

Please look forward to it.

And looking at everyone's messages was almost dangerous to do, they made me cry.
So now with my nose running, I have to get back to work.

It's Decembeeerr!!!

Today, I tackled 2 TV lives with the band. (^_-)-*

Oh geez. ANOTHER new song? I wonder if she's gonna push an album out soon..

i smell a new album too.

*and yes!! the tour mis aired! i can't wait, come on! someone upload it!

damn
new album T.T

I hope not please

just a big single, thats all I ask for right now

U.U

thanks a lot for the translation!! n.n

omg yesss
i was just hoping for another ayu rock song

but i really want there to be a rock single...no album.. it's not the right time..
i'd like an album but it really doesn't seem like the right time at all

Message 354 was so touching ... :thud

Thanks for the translation ;)

ROCKsong... another T2M??

thx for the translation!

2nd mini album ? .........

Thanks for the translations as always. :) Wonder what shows she filmed for. It can't be FNS or Music Station since those are done live. I'm guessing probably Music Fighter and CDTV. So that is 4 confirmed performances so far.

This makes her... 5th new song? Including Mirrorcle World, Life, Days, and GREEN... that's already more songs than Memorial address had.

A single with 4 new songs like & would be great though. I hope she does that again :x.

awesome!!! for the uncut~
hmm wonder what song did she sing, i'll say GREEN~

If this is a new single, it'll be the last one before the album, I think.

^Unless she does what she did with (miss)understood and releases 4 singles before the album.

I doubt it, just cuz ayu is SO about pleasing the fans, and every winter she has an album... seems to me that with how late in the year it is with no album plans yet, since she's been busy with other things this year, she'll probably start work on the album after CDL.

thanks for your translation !
i think she'll release an album in april .

hospital?? what happened to her? :headache
thanks for the translation :)

Oh yeah, she's DEFINITELY working on an album! I hope we hear news about it in January!

Thank you so much for translating these all the time! We really do appreciate it!

It's so great to hear all these inside thoughts from Ayu that we otherwise would never know. :)

lol Ayu is crazy.

Thank you Deli-sama.

This must mean an album is coming soon. I wouldn't be surprised if we get it in January!

Haha thanks so much for doing these translations..its so interesting to read what she writes!

yes, i think im pretty convinced she is doing an album already...
(i wont include MW single)...

Days, GREEN, apparently 2 new songs, and yesterday one more song..and now another Hard Rock song..
that's 6 songs already...she just needs another...7-8 HEHEH..

Her band members are so sweet..i mean that's really what a team is all about...

cant wait to see the 2 lives...pretty sure its CDTV n Music Fighter too...
But it could be Music Japan as well

w00t new rock song <3

So a new album or single in february? Maybe in early March in time for my birthday? :O

February release :dead2 I just know it.

Hard rock? Oh well that's good news for Rody :D

Hard rock?
Ooooooo ^__^
Hope it's awesome.

I really hope she isn't going to push out an album too quickly -___-
I don't want that

So many messages and Another song >_> If it's an album I'm broke ; ; So I better come up with a plan soon lol

Anyhow thanks for the translations and for sharing :)

hope our expectations on new album are real :) 10x for the info ;)

yay!!! new rock song!!! many different genres.. Looks like the one and only ballad in 2008 will be Days... New songs doesnt mean they are gonna be released once they are finished.. I bet these are for the albums as usually, ayu will release an album after 2 singles. BUT BUT BUT BUT, the more the merrier!!

i hope ayu can share her burden with her dancers/band members. She worked with them for many years. Especially the seniors like Go-mi and Kayanocchi, they sure understand ayu more than the rest of them. I hope ayu is fine.. :D

and ayu seems to be eager to see Maro wearing a deep V-neck shirt. the word is DEEP.

Quote:

In any case, everybody in the venue's faces are shown.

!!!! OMG I'm going to be in the next DVD!!! *___*

Wow she reaaaaaaly likes to blog sometimes. :P

And jay for another rock song! :D They neeever disapoint me! I wonder if that song is gonna be included in the next single or of its a totaly new single.

And superjay for the uncut dvd that will be for later.

i'm seriously worried about Ayu's health, she hasnt been sleeping properly and i wonder why she went to hospital...

thanks deli for that loooooong translation!

so far she now has a total of 5 new songs (right?) so mini-album is out of the question.

so either a 3/4 A-Side single ooor AN ALBUM! personally the first sounds nicer lol

Thanks for translation such a long message Deli.
Why was Ayu in hospital? What has happened then?

Another rock song - sounds interesting. I hope there will be one more single in February before new album.

actually...pushing a 4A-side single on 8th April might be another tactic as well

The post is sooo looong. X.x
At least I know there's going to be a new rock song! lol

YAAYY!!! Ayu's new rock song, that sounds cooooool :)

I think there will be a new single in mid-February and then a mini album special end of 10th anniversary on April 8 2009, didn't ask but I've that feeling ... there could also include new 10th's versions (A Song for XX or End roll would be GREAT)

so what's new for first half of 2009?
*new double A-side single
*new mini-album or complete album
*new Asia or only Japanese tour

ok, pure speculation ^^ :D

OMG!!!! SHE CAN'T STOP TO WORK, loves music, loves her fans, loves her team, loves the whole world and through all her messages feel as if every day she's happiest, what more do we want? GO AYU !!!!

P.S. awesome translating work Deli !!:yes:yes:yes

that would be a cool idea. Judging from the speed at she writes her song, it may just be a full length album!! AHHH!!

What does she mean when she says she going to properly start a trip to everyones origin? Its probably not going to be this but is she going to travil to see where's she's big or maybe a world tour?

I think it's a metaphorical one... my guess is that she's gonna talk more about her staff in the next DVD. I wasn't totally sure what she meant exactly.

yaiiy,.. new song again.. I hope new song for album not a single

Wow so much to read! And thanks alot for all the translations Delirium-Zer0!

Eeh, so how many new songs there are now? She just recorded one, right? And now another one? :luv2

And yesss for December, just as I read her first post, I went to decorate my Christmas tree~

A hard rock song? YAY!!!!!! Missed that :D!
ayu had to learn to accept help from her friends, she can't do it all by herself anymore.
She is so cute ^__^.
Hard working...

I love Hama-chonchan and Kayanocchi, Go-mi and Peco for looking after her.

Thx for the translation!!!

"Through my own imperfections & carelessness, I had an accident." :)
she's a human too, alright :D:D

thx for translate!

Thanks for the translations! I like Ayu's little heartwarming story. :)

Life + GREEN + Days + new recorded song + new rock song
I smell a mini album afoot~ :P

Aww, poor Ayu-chan! But I loved Go-mi's statement. I think he speaks for her staff and her fans with that one. I hope she can understand how much we ALL love her...

Aww. 354 is so sweet :heart I wonder what kind of accident it was though...

Thank you for the translations!

A new mini album, eh?

I guess MW won't be included so I think she shouldn't include Life (IMO, it won't made the album 'heavy' as usual)

So...GREEN+Days+New Song+New Hard Rock Song
I hope she does a 10 mini album tracklist (is 10 count as a mini album?)
If she have 8 I want some new secret materials not the single ones

OOMMGG！
Ayu is always talkin' to us from the bottom of her heart!
Great translation Deli!

so glad to hear Ayu does have real support :)

yeah! Another new song!!

an album should be coming up soon!!! ^_^

:banana1:banana2:banana1:banana2:banana1:banana2 :banana1:banana2:banana1:banana2:banana1:banana2

i can't wait to get more info on this one!!!!!!! :D

wow, she really needs to rest sometimes, it's really bad for her health!
i wonder what accident it was, i guess we'll hear more on her next TA msg...

and looks like she's really trying to put up a new album by Feb/March
i just hope she doesn't rush herself too much, really bad for her health!!
we can wait an extra month for it as long as she's healthy^^

Quote:

but when I eventually did go back to sleep, it seems the dream had ended without me already. (lol)

ayu is too cute!
sounds like a new album is underway...

Hard rock song!... nice...

...as I was reading Peco's nice message... I actually heard her voice in my head... speaking English... Hahaha...

Ayu and her band...they're great.

NO MONEYYY. PLEASE NO NEW ALBUM.

but aw. ayu should just. TAKE A WEEK OFF AND SLEEP NON STOP. @_@ omg

It's that time again when everything is rushed at the last minute. Who doesn't wait until the end? ^_^ Speaking of which final exams are coming soon and its peak season for my job...time for all-nighters and a full ammo of coffee. :(

A new rock song!! YES~ Thank you Ayu. I wonder how much more time until she puts out a new album. Seems she's working on new songs like crazy! I personally cannot wait to see a new album from Hamachonchan! XD Thanks for all your hard work translating these Delichonchan! :roflmao

Many thanks again for your hard work XS. Great translations as always!

Ayu seems to be such a REALLY nice person...Hope she will take care of herself during next CDL rehearsal!

Hmm, new song. Maybe an album is impending.

she was in the hospital =(

new rock song!!!! I'm happy!!!

Wow I started tearing up reading that. Thanks for this!

I knew it, she IS gonna release a new album at New Year ^^;

People rush to conclusion again =P we didn't have any announcement yet... (if we will about a new album) and if we would the album can't be released in January I suppose..

A rock song? Nice! :)

And that second message was really touching. :) We :heart you, ayu~~

Thank you so much, Deli. :)

(We should really have a thread with all TA messages. :laugh)

Thanks for the transalation Deli!

wow thank you so much for putting up the TA messages so we know what she has been doing..... :)

Wow new songs!!!, I can't wait!!!

Yeah, a new heavy rock song!
Don't worry so much about us, Ayu. Take your time and get some sleep!

New album! That's what i hope for! I wonder what she was doing that made her injure herself. Glad everyone's there for her. She should look after herself better. Don't overtax yourself ayu!

thanks for translating it!!!

Thanks for this translation! Ayu always makes me laugh!! xDD

I hope she is okay after going to the hospital visit! o_o It sounds like she might have fallen or something and it's not too serious, but she has been pretty ill for the most of this year with colds, flu and all of that. It's better to be safe than sorry~

A new song sounds awesome! I am crossing my fingers now by March/April!

I seriously smellin' a new album after 2008!
I can't wait for it!

Spoiler:

Thanks Deli-chan for translating it for us! ^^,

that's loads of good news!

wow, Ayu got running nose on the same date I got the flu. Still now, I am in running nose.

Sorry for my bad English.

Love Ayu~♥
