Concert tour 2000 session 1 MC
 

I don't know if this has already been translated, anyway I find it very moving so I translated it. Keep in mind that I am not a japanese native nor an english one, so please forgive my mistakes! I can't make subs, anyone willing to do it can make them as long as they let me know and credit me. I can also provide romaji transliteration for this.

Good evening everyone,
so toodaaaay uhm....
first of all, this is the day of closure for this first ayu nation-wide tour, this very first act.
So, in receiving the chance to do this tour there was one thing of which ayu wanted absolutely to make sure with her very self, no matter what, that is, to say, whether the artist named "hamasaki ayumi" really exists or not.
Until I did this tour for some time, always, somehow, when I turned on the tv, when I looked at magazines as well, there was in different places this face identical to mine overflowing, but myself already -when
going out from the entrace hall of my home, riding the car, entering the stadio... because I was doing this kind of door-to-door life everyday, even though there was nothing changing in my very self, my
surroundings were changing this much... I thought many many times what if, waking up as usual and going outside, what if no one somehow knows ayu... I would end up thinking that it was all a dream, right, and so really... I myself, in this way...receiving love from these many people and also being able to be supported...thinking I wanted absolutely absolutely to make sure, and that all the nation was waiting for this tour, today moving towards the last day at last I could come to feel that "hamasaki ayumi" is here and that it's good that she is, thank you very much.

And then, to my producer, Max Matsura, who acknowledged the existence of ayu, at least of that very myself, without ever surrendering on me, in a period where anyone around me had given up on me, and despite this, despite this, always telling me "You're okay, it's sure thing that you're here" and for having never given up on me until the end and for raising ayu until here, thank you very much. From now on I'll be in your care ne.

Everyone did you have fun today?
Thanks~ I have a single coming out again!
Who knows the title?

(they ask her to sing it)

"Sing, you say? Well there's no sound sooo I'll sing acapella."

Thanks for the translation!

This was very touching :)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! :D

Thanks..so sweet.

Thank you for translating :heart

Oh thanks! You're a Angel!T.T

Do you you will translate more somewhere? Type the beginning or end?

No prob guys :D I especially love the part where she talks about max matsura. You can see she's so full of emotion and when she says he's the only one not to gave her up... I was so moved. Don't you think? ;-;♥

you're too kind!♥
I'm not sure I understood your question, sorry ;-; You mean if I'll translate what she says at the beginning/ending of the concert? If you point me to it I can do it, sure ^^

Good job.
Thx a lot!

thank you!

Aww..that's touching. Thanks for the translation.

Thank you so much for this! I always was curious as to what she was saying at this part. *.*

You're all welcome guys :) I find it to be extremely touching and beautiful, especially because she starts weeping a bit also♥ cute. You can really feel her feelings of gratitude here, feelings which have not disappeared after 15 years. I can still here them in her 15th anniversary message, or in her gaze when singing SURREAL after it at a best live. That's why I love her.
