Avex Notice to those Registered at the RAINBOW Special Site

[fantaisie.sign]

Here is an email that I received from Avex today, assuming that this was sent out to everyone registered at the RAINBOW special site. I used the Alta Vista translation site to translate it into English, but it still doesn't make sense.

Here's the original message:

And here is my translation of it:

The purpose of this email is to report to everyone registered at the RAINBOW Special Site.

<Emergency Notification!>
The images relating to RAINBOW between January 20 to January 24 is the special reopening of the image collection. The collected images are still being applied from beginning to end, and we placed them in a way that the voices of the fans who have not commented still can. When the collection ended previously, the people applying had 31 days to do so. This Monday through Friday, they will be able to vote for 5 days. Please apply. Http://ayu.avexnet.or.jp/special/

<Attention!>
The Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live concert occurred again for the year 2002-2003 on December 31, 2002. The television showing of Countdown Live had the highest rating of that night. Once again, broadcasting it on the Internet live was tried. As you saw, it was shown in demand in the midst of another ticket sale! Http://avex.excite.co.jp/

Ayu goods are popular at shopping centers! Concert pamphlets, T-shirts, sport towels, ayupans, and a 2003 calendar are all in the new line of merchandise. Http://sz.avexnet.or.jp/ Look in the "artist goods" corner.

LOL! That email makes no sense whatsoever! What do they mean by straw raincoat countdown live? I guess that is referring to items sold at countdown live? Oh well. Thanks for the info.

[EdenZone]

hmmm i don't quite apprehend it...

[JinHamasaki]

Lucky......
I wish I could go ><

[Piccolo]

Thanks for the translation Chibinina !! I got that email and was like "What the heck is this?"

[fantaisie.sign]

I didn't really know what it was either. I thought it was another confirmation email about registering at RAINBOW, but it just mentioned the success of Countdown Live, more Ayu merchandise, and the RAINBOW image contest (still can't quite understand what that means. . .).

[kawai]

okok, acturally these are just old news about 3 things:

Avex reopened the Rainbow special site for fans to post their ideas for the lyrics of the new single "Rainbow" from Jan 20-24.

Excite is doing rebroadcast of the CDL 02-03 on the web for pay-per-view. I've posted about this so please Read there

Selling of the new merchantdise (including ayupan) at their shopping site.

[Grass Monkey]

..All your base are belong to us?

[Grantith]

They are reopening the lyric suggestions again????? Yikes, that means that it'll take even longer for the single to come out. That stinks.
