Ayu in German TV-show "TV Total" from 2002
 

... unfortunately not in person :P

So everybody is sharing their random Ayu-finds and so I thought I'd do the same: :D

"TV Total" is a German comedy/late night show hosted by Stefan Raab.
The title of this particular video is "Raab in Gefahr - Tokio" which means "Raab in danger - Tokyo". So in 2002 they had a special about the Soccer World Cup in Japan/South Korea and so the host was sent to Tokyo where he made fun of the Japanese. In Akihabara he found that girl standing in front of a store promoting TU-KA with Ayu's commercial in her hand and stole her micro to do some beatbox. The whole video was quite funny, especially because everybody in Germany apparently thinks that the Japanese are fluent in English. XD

You can find the video HERE (I hope there are no country restrictions). It's a special website where you can vote for the funniest videos, because the show is celebrating its 10th anniversary (just like Ayu :)).

That is really cool!!^^
too bad you couldn't see it in person :(

I saw the Mirrorcle World Poster ( that is on the tour of Shibuya 109) on TV two weeks ago
I was watching a french show and the girl went to Japan

I wasn't fast enough to take a picture :weep. I have one but there's a guy just in front of the poster :grumpy I was so angry

^aw, I would be mad too!
that's cool though
ayu is visible anywhere nowadays

In TV Total? Thats funny xD

Hey, that's very cool xD

That is a very nice found! Thanks a lot! ^_^

cool, i know about a german video that's got A LOT of talk about Ayu, including her singing Free & Easy on the Stadium tour, but i can't find it!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry

oh that was Pokito ..its a kids show between the Animes on RTL2 and last for about 5min. They had a japanese girl for like 4 days or so and on the first she reported on ayu and showed that greta Free & easy clip...next day she talked about Kumis 12 Singles
she also said Ayu is loved for her honest lyrics among japanese girls

Wow, that's unexpectedly cool from Pokito. Is there a rip of this available somewhere?

Yeah, I always saw Pokito as a quite BAD format

yeah it was on PokitoTV i tryed to find the vid on their site since they have most of the episodes uploaded there, but i couldn't find it :cry
i really liked how Pokito said at the and "Sie hat eine Engelsgleiche stimme" :heart2
and sorry for my german typos, i haven't spoken/written it in 6 years :cry

^ Wouldn't have noticed that, theres only a small mistake in there everybody could do while typing with a pc keyboard(wrong word with first letter in caps)

nice find!

aw, that so nice :3

lol rly? xD
so... i typed engelsgleiche wrong...? :P

wow that's pretty funny to have found that :D

it's possible I saw this too, back in 2002, and totally not knowing who Ayu was ^^

^ it wasn't in 2002, it was after the release of fairyland.
i flipped when i saw that ep =D

I totaly dislike Stefan Raab... I never saw that clip befor.
I Never knew, someone from Pokito talked about Ayu.... maybee... because I don't watch it. (^_^)

Here you go^^

/ZOMFG!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you kitty :D

i never looke it up on youtube, because i failed at finding it at the official pokito site lol :P

anyways thank you again =D

You're welcome, hehe^^ and by the way your spelling of engelsgleiche wasn't wrong ;) just like noidea said, the first letter has to be small :)

^ Thanks, Kitty!

This is really surprising. Pokito is indeed not well-known for high quality TV, but that little J-music part was quite well done. :)

I remember that ayus name was mentioned in one of my favorite Finnish TV programs :D There is this young actress who is a ''japan fan'' in this TV show and she had just bought ayus CD and she said that ayu is good or something :D


omg sorry my English is terrible now... it's 1am here so sorry :tired

right


It's funny how they spell ayus name^^

It's good to be in German at that time. I think, in my country, there's never have a talk about Ayu or J-music in TV. It's pretty sad.

Well, it's nothing happening often in germany...I remember 1 show about japanese music where the host said Visual Kei is a genre with singers that dress themselves up as comic figures o.0
so...theres not much talk about it in germany and IF theres talk about it its often wrong or simply bad, many people dont even know japan has a music industry it seems o.0

but at the same time theres bands like The GazettE getting 4000 or 5000 people to their germany concert

WHAT????
Stefan Raab was in Tokyo?? DAMN >_< I didn't know it T_T
but it's cool XDDD

Haha, I've seen this before, but never noticed Ayu. xD
