I'm making a new Ayu fan site!
 

Konnichiwa ~~~

So we all know how much we love Ayu, but most of her old sites are no longer being updated. I decided to make my own website (yes, one that I actually pay to have up.)

I mostly wanted to do one because I can't find a site where all Ayu's songs and translations would be in one site in a way that would satisfy me. But then I thought - why not do more?

That's where YOU come in!!

I want this site to be something for all Ayu fans, not just me, so my question is...
what do you want to see on an brand-new Ayu fan site?

I'm totally open for suggestions and ideas, because I'm so confused what to put there!!

It's still in the works, here's a preview



I also really miss http://www.eneabba.net/ayu/, so I wanted also to have something similar to that:



The name of the page right now is "The Colours of Ayumi Hamasaki" - not the best name, just one I decided on the spot. Don't know if I'll keep it and again, suggestions, please!!

I'm not asking for anyone else to pay for it, so don't worry about that!
I really do hope I get support to this idea though, it's not fun if I'm the only one using it x) And no, it's not up yet - and probably won't be for a while. I want it to be as perfect as possible!

Cheers ~~~

Edit 16.1.2016:

Already suggested:

magazine scans --> might be difficult to find them all, I know zyrex has a nice collection, but not updated since ~2013

cd+dvd scans --> definately going on the website!
photobook scans --> If I'm able to find the older ones, yes! Newer are going at least since they are pretty easy to find
old and new interview translations --> I'll put what I can find, with credit of course
some sort of gallery
lyric translations in more than one language
wallpapers
news --> this might be difficult since I do not follow Ayu 24/7 and simply do not have time for that... :/

Edit 24.01.2016:

Thank you for those who pointed out that VLC has a screen pic button! Saving hours now, thank you thank you ~~~

Wow that sounds like a great website and definitely one I would use!!

I'll add any suggestions if I think of any!

Ah that already is looking great. I'm pretty excited for the site to be up :) thank you so much for taking the time and money to do this

I'd love to have all the lyrics for the newer albums in one place. :D Also maybe karaokes for non-singles, MIDIs, gallery by album era, sales/chart positions? Just some random ideas. :)

I'd love to have pictures on one site :D by that I mean magazine scans in chronological order,also cd+dvd scans and photobook scans...this can take A LOT of time though.. I would also love to see old and new interview translations gathered on one site :D

Ooh, that's interesting!

I second the above! Some sort of gallery, maybe? Screenshots from the music videos, clean and easy design.

This sounds amazing! I think adding lyrics translations in more languages would be a cool feature for the website (I can help with Spanish translations!)

I would like to see lyrics sort according to album with translation, CD scans, booklet scans, gallery, wallpaper, news.

It will take a lot of time :D I think you should create some account then grant permissions to help you update the site :D

Print screen and paste it on Paint can be such a hassle!
You should try VLC media player, it lets you screenshot easily. :)
Looking forward for the website!

Oh wow, thank you so much for this response!!
This just motivates me more ~~~~

Can you be more specific what you mean with karaoke for non-singles?

What sort of gallery were you all hoping for? To find all pictures of Ayu ever taken is impossible ;)

That's a great idea ! What would be the best is to have all of her lyrics + english translation in one place, because DivineAyu stopped updating since LOVE again ):
I love getting to see screen of all her tours/CDL
I don't have any other ideas, but just wanted to show that i support your project :P

It's possible.
This is Magazine Scans Collection 1993-2012 (5601 files)

2010-now you can find here http://ayufan.com/blog

But it will take a lot of time & I think it's unnecessary :dead2

Hey Sandy that is an incredible job. Have great memories from sites like eneabba and I miss it too. I am glad you are going for an more update version. Not sure if I have any more ideas. Maybe, since you are not following Ayu daily, just the main big news when a new album is coming. How far she is, release dates etc.
Anyway I support your project! Great idea!

I am working currently on an Ayu Gallery.
And yes you can´t collect every single image and such, but I am trying to get it as complete as possible^^

@ Your site
A complete lyrics database in multi-language whould be rly nice to have <3

The site looks like it'll be nice and clean; pleasing to the eye and easy to find things. I'd definitely refer to this for different things, especially lyrics. Good job!

I'm not sure if this is a realistic/easy-to-do idea or if it was something that would work for your website but I really fancy the idea of Ayu releasing some sort of physical "encyclopedia" of her lyrics. So why not have a digital fan made one?

I was thinking it would include lyrics by album (with an English translation of course!) with a few pages dedicated to each of the songs lyrics.

On each song's pages, with the lyrics I would have:

• Full credits including instruments on the track etc
• Pictures from the era (like the off-shoots from the A Complete booklet, behind the scenes pictures, PV photos)
• Any related comments such as something Ayu said about the recording of the song or her personal thoughts on it
• Stats about the song's chart position etc
• As the website owner, any of your own thoughts on the song

Sort of like a database for anything you could want to know about your favourite Ayu song.

As someone else mentioned, it would be great to have a website with translations of all of Ayu's songs in one place as Divine Ayu is no longer updating. I really like the design of your website too!

Wow that looks awesome and I'm super excited for when you make it public!

I'm most interested in the Eneabba-esque aspect. Now that she hardly performs on TV anymore it shouldn't be hard to keep up to date either haha. Just concerts really :-p getting them all up in the first place will be the tough part!

I used to have a huge library of her lives but that computer is long since dead haha.



One thing to add would be a tour goods page. I love looking at her old goods but it's harder and harder to find pictures as years go by without putting some effort into it haha.

Working on this also^^
I love collecting Tour Goodies *_* Especially the old ones :love

If it's like updated version of eneabba, I'll be your regular visitor :)

Kanji lyrics would be also nice, I neven seem to find them together with translation and romaji.

And just a cosmetic suggestion, setlist is nicer to read if it's like standard song under song, not in a line, but maybe that's just me.

If you're using windows 7, 8 or 10 you have a snipping tool which is much better than printscreen or just play the video in VLC media player, it has this screenshot button.

Just another thought, I often don't remember what's on the bonus discs of concerts, the behind the scenes etc, it would be nice to have some shots from that as well, at least a few, plus maybe a general description on what's there.

Some links to other Ayu sites would be nice to, but with descriptions whether there's a gallery worth seeing or good translations, or unique translations, or translations in other languages, or subs.
