Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed watching that.
That guy is totally a weirdo but by the end of the video he won me over.
He is quite knowledgeable about Ayu. Almost to an unnatural extent.
When they showed his ID and it said United States of America I was like nooo he is embarrassing. But I am actually really happy to see someone from here that is such a big fan.
It would be awesome if we could get Ayu to see that video. I would love to see her reaction.

I'm taking this over here from the Ayu Social Network thread.

That makes sense and after I just finished listening to the Playlist I feel like July 1st is a good end. Yes, after reding the tracklist it seemed like it won't fit but it is a great ending to the playlist. It`s hard to describe but listening to the whole thing kinda felt like a rainy day that lightens up slowly until the sun finally pushes the clouds away

[Aderianu]

if only ayu made one more new summer ballad to add to this playlist, this release may be not only digital. Like A Summer Best with You & Me

[SunshineSlayer]

OMG who is that Ayu fan? There is no way he is not on this forum, lol.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

And of course with the Alba Rosa lol

[owlflight]

Giggling at Porker Face still being in Ayu’s iTunes US store list.

I always feel a vague sense of visciousness from that "Why did you come to Japan" show. I don't actively watch it so I might be wrong but I only ever hear about it when they interview people like this. Mega fans, otaku, starry-eyed foreigners etc.

They often seem to pick foreigners and I see them get made fun of in expat communities and it just makes me feel sad for the people they interview.

Sure it's cringey but it feels kind of two-faced to spot-interview someone and they feel like a celebrity for a few minutes but it's just going to be aired in a "look at this weird gaijin, aren't they all sooooooo weird" context... I don't know if I'd run away or accept an interview if they came up to me lol He just seems like a big fan to me.

omg, didn´t expect to see this ever in an auction o.o

There was a camera team wanting to interview me in Harajuku once. I ran away.

That is seriously creepy.

Oh, it was a prize. Still... I wouldn't want Ayu's hair...

[~angel*ayumi~]

Yeah it was a gift at TeamAyu website, limited to 80 pieces or so

[EndOfTheWorld]

I have doubts that that is Ayu's real hair.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^It is. It was around evloution I think, when she went to short hair. It's even documented in one of the older TA-Mags.

Just discovered I threw out one of my summer best CDs when we moved house. A family member forgot to look in the stereo before throwing it into a skip bin. Disc A, I obviously preferred you, but now you are scraps at the junkyard.

I discovered the same situation with my first copy of ayu-mi-x 6 GOLD

Totally creepy.

[summerain]

Hope someone record the rebroadcast of POWER of A³ airing tomorrow / today.

[Yoake]

Today, I listened to Sunrise/Sunset~love is all~single. When the summer songs mash-up played, it made me want to watch an a-nation concert. So I watched the year 2010. I had forgotten about that epic Microphone & vampires beginning. and I realised it has been a while since I listened to Crossroad. i think I'll re-watch some other old a-nation concerts during this summer.

[Earth_maiden]

^I love rewatching a-nation performances. I wish they would release them all after the years 2012.
