Ayu's restaurant?

[majrakun]

I read this from Wikipedia:

To promote the program Ayuready? (and her album Rainbow), Hamasaki opened a restaurant, Rainbow House, on Shōnan Beach; it was occasionally used in episodes of Ayuready?.

Is this true? Ayu has/had a restaurant? Is it still operating? Or was it just temporary for RAINBOW's promotion?

^^I think it's only there to promote rainbow, it's not permanent...I read it on wiki.theppn some time ago...

Here is a page following the devolopment and activity during the months it was open.

And here are a few scans from the September 2003 issue of Ayu's magazine "Ready Go!" in which she is shown working on RAINBOW HOUSE

It wasn't made to promote RAINBOW. The shack itself was built in the summer after RAINBOW came out.

[LacusClyne]

[apple-pi]

Oh, I had no idea about this! Cool! =D
But, it wasn't made to promote RAINBOW, why did it close? Was it just for ayuready?'s use? Did it close down when the show ended?
