My additional article on her
 

I've translated my additional article on "Ayu Ready?" and "Super TV". Perhaps it will be my last article on her.

Awesome work, masa :thumbsup !

From what I gathered, I think AyuReady was successful because of how Ayu presented herself on the show. She didn't appear to be a stiff host, but instead, took part in events and had perhaps more fun being on the show than the actual guests. Some people may have disliked the show, but I think it was more of an extension of Ayu as a person, rather than "another thing". Add to that with the dedication she puts in her work, whether it's her music, or just not giving up when things look bleak (Dome Tour, her ear infection, A BEST vs. Distance, etc) and it's no wonder that she does so well!

I hope not; I'd really miss your articles if you didn't continue :(

I like it very much! Thank you for this article... I hope you will keep making some!

" I hope she will move to some other record company "

Like most of us. ^^

What do you mean by the "Unification of Ayumi Hamasaki" exactly?

And wow, the quote from BBS really makes me think...I guess her ear isn't all better afterall, but wow, that's powerful.

And I definitely hope this is not your last article!!! =(

Thank you for another article. Your extremely hard work is very much appreciated, and I hope this will not be your last article. I've (and many others) always thoroughly enjoyed your writings.

That was a really insightful article! I hope you continue to write articles on her, though, because I have discovered so many things about Ayu that I did not know before and I can think of her situations in new ways with the ideas you bring forth. ;.;

まささん、いつもみんなにあゆについて情報を教えてくれてありがとう御座います。へ＿へ　いつもまささんの エッセイを楽しみに読みます。このエッセイが最終になったら残念ですね。

your last?? :(

i love your articles...they are the most insightful ones i've read on ayu so far....you are just a great writer and analyst! i do hope you would continue to write about her...

thx so much for all the article translations all along!

best wishes to you!

"Honestly speaking, I'm not in a negative mood regarding this matter. Because all of you listen to my song in place of my left ear, don't you?"

i can't be the only one who practically melted upon hearing this, right?

anyhow, Masa, i've always had a great deal of respect for you, ever since i first read one of your articles. you are indeed very devoted, insightful, and a great writer. my thanks to you for all you've done, and if it is indeed your last, it is a wonderful way to leave off on.

Thanks for writing this - it was very insightful. I hope you continue to write articles like these.

Maybe she could go to Toshiba EMI and be with Utada. O_o

I don't think Ayu will ever leave AVEX, even though people keep saying she should. I think she is very loyal to Max Matsuura.

your last?!?! NOOOOOooo

i really get sad when ppl leave their websites and never update anymore!! esp. urs!! so much stuff on ayu!! sigh

but then .. we've got to move on right? haha .. BEST WISHES ! have a great life

plz...don't let it be your last one...i know it must be time consuming....but i/we appreciate them soooo much more than u think....so plz don't let it be the last one. Thank you so much....arigatou gozaimasu!!!

Last article? That sucks-your articles helped me understand a lot.

Thanks for helping the world of Ayumi Hamasaki fans understand more.

Good luck to you.
