[NEWS] More Ayu news in Hong Kong

Original Article: http://hk.news.yahoo.com/061220/12/1yna4.html






Brief Summary:

The opening of "Confessions of Pain" took place last night. People who attended were Ayu, Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Jane Xu, Shu Qi, Karina Lau. At the premiere, Ayu attracted 400 fans, of which 100 were able to go inside to see Ayu. That night, Ayu wore a red low-cut dress with 4 inch high heels. Many fans shouted out "You're Kawaii, Ayu!" and "Merry Christmas, Ayu!". This caught her attention, and she waved back at her fans said "Hi!" and smiled. (Reporters also wrote that Ayu and Tony Leung "stole the whole show" and many of the actors such as Takeshi Kaneshiro became a "background") When asked how Ayu felt about Hong Kong after not been here for 5 years, Ayu responded by saying "I know that Hong Kong has opened up a Disneyland, I'm very happy. Hong Kong is becoming an increasingly beautiful city. Upon my arrival in Hong Kong, a lot of fans were at the airport waiting for me. I'm very happy." When asked about her thoughts on the Chinese version of her song "Secret" which is sung by Denise Ho, Ayu said, "Before I came to Hong Kong, I heard Denise's version of "Secret". I think she sang the song very well. I've read the "Confessions of Pain" script, but I haven't seen the entire movie yet. I hope we can watch and enjoy the movie together." After, flowers were presented to the main characters, the directors and Ayu and a group picture was taken. Ayu stood between Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro. However, she left after attending for 10 minutes.

Brief Summary:

After Ayu left the opening of "Confessions of Pain" without watching the movie, Ayu went to the Ritz-Carlton in Central to enjoy a Chinese dinner. She wore a balck & white fur coat (?) and was under heavy security during the dinner. She enjoyed her dinner and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for a few hours and after, she went back to her hotel (the Four Seasons).

The next day, Ayu arrived at the airport at 3PM and was protected by 10 security guards. About 50 fans were at the airport to say farewell to Ayu. Her entire outfit that day was black and she was also wearing black sunglasses. Ayu's flight was scheduled to depart at 3:30PM but her flight got delayed and the plane didn't take off until 5PM.

The previous day when Ayu arrived in Hong Kong, there was chaos and Ayu was shocked. But today, the whole situation was calm. This time, she was personally receiving her presents that her fans gave to her at ease. One of her presents was a red card with her boyfriend (Nagase Tomoya) on it. After she saw it, she immediately smiled and laughed. She then entered the boarding gate with her staff. Not forgetting about her fans, she turned around and waved her final good bye to her Hong Kong fans and reporters.

Well, I imagine that if she stayed to watch the movie, she might not have been able to eat dinner [she was only going to be in HK for one day]~

I imagine she might watch the movie with the actors at the Japanese premiere if there is one..

she must have been tired and a little in disbelief/a-whole-lot-of-shyness. I don't think her true intentions were to "steal the show" from the actual actors in the movie. I guess after seeing how crazy the media was going for her she probably would have rathered to skip out on it than to have Chinese tabloids calling her an attention *****; I hardly call that being rude...

Plus we don't know if she had a previous commitment to attend to. It says that she ate dinner at the Ritz so she couldn't have been eating food alone only leave and go back to the hotel by herself. I don't think Ayu's the kind of person to be so ummmmm mean.

On top of that...why would Ayu watch a movie that is in complete Chinese? She wouldn't be able to understand a single bit of it? I think she will wait until the Japanese premiere.

well, it's just me then....i understand if she wants to leave because of too many attention and unable to understand the movie. but i don't think it's nice to leave AFTER saying you want to watch with everyone.....

anyway, i was watching this news clip on yesterday entertainment news after i catch the premiere in Singapore. Although the singapore version is the one by Denise Ho(and the song is during the credits), ayu's name is still credit in the movie under the 'original japanese lyrics' section.
i was kinda assuming since Denise Ho was said to be for Hongkong and China, the version in Singapore should be Ayu's, but it's not.......i wonder which country will have ayu's version? other then Japan.

She could eat after she watched the movie.

There's always popcorn to fill her up in the mean time.
