Everybody fine!!!!!
How are you, friends of Tokyo?
Did you see it? (pointing to the audience in the upper seats on the right side)
Did you also see it? (pointing to the audience in the upper seats on the left side)
Everybody saw it??
I am fine, I am fine.
This is the last show, I am so nervous. I am having palpitations.
Just now, when I was coming out from the globe that time, my heart was pumping very fast.I was thinking to myself, what should I do? But luckily, so far it has progressed quite smoothly. Everybody saw the flags? If you saw it, please raise your hands, so do your wish to see the ASAYAN dancers from Tokyo? Now let's welcome them. Everbody has arrived. Let's give them a round of applause. And then, let's not forget those who went around the 4 DOME Tours. Let us welcome the 6 of them. Come on. First is Naoko from the right side,next is Naoya from Tokyo followed by Yu from Fukouka. On my left side is Yu's brother, Rei , then Yoshi from Nagoya, last is Aki from Osaka.
When I met them, hmm also the other workers like the band, producers etc, I feel like I am working in one big family because we have been working for so long. It made me feel more secured. But to face these colleagues which we have worked together so long, and to introduce these young kids which I personally chose, I felt nervous. But I believe these kids will not have any problems, although I have been strict with them before. (ayu starts weeping, audience gave her some support by cheering her on) Like this Dome which is mega size, this is the first time I am performing in it, but to the six of them, all are new experiences. It made me laden with a responsibility to teach and guide them properly, so to create a good performance in this stage together. There are bad times too, there may be dislike or things gets messy. But when performances are good, it made me very happy, like how a mother feels. I will still think of them regardless what I am doing. I worry how they will perform today, how are their spirits today. But in the end, I am the one who learnt from them a lot. They gave me a lot of support and this let me have the courage to stand on this stage. Thank you very much (bows to the dancers)
At the nearing of the end of the Dome Tour, ayu felt sad that, that was the last song she is singing (WHO) and said that she hopes to meet the audience soon
