TA Message 309 - Days/GREEN promotion

[Delirium-Zer0]

Here's the most recent TA message. It's actually a message of substance so I have translated it, lol. She blogs so much now, I can't possibly keep up x_X!!! But I'll try! I feel my japanese start to slip away, I need to go back to translating these.

Starting yesterday,,,
No. 309 7 November 2008 1:24 AM

...I'm doing Days/GREEN promotion activities.

First off is rushing around doing magazine shoots!!!

Yesterday, after a CM shoot, I had 2 magazine photo shoots & interviews, wrestling with the PV, there were all kinds of schedule changes made (Ohji is fighting very hard because if there hadn't been schedule changes, it would have been very hard for everything to mesh and nothing good would have come of it, lol)

Two more magazine photo shoots & interviews will be done tomorrow. After that I'm going to the mix studio, and after that.... u~~~~~~n.... fantastic.

But, there's still a heck of alot more to do, so magazine photographing continues, weaving through the intervals between my various tasks~~.

The photos I've taken so far have all given me a very good feeling, so I want eveyrone to hurry and see them! (*^_^*)

But after having that cold in Shanghai, I've lost a considerable amount of weight...

My clothes are too big ------ oh no!!

Okei-chan* has been put on the spot ------ oh no!!

He's been kind enough to keep on resewing alot of the clothes!!!


As for me, I've been going to the gym to try and regain the strength in my skinny self. (sleepy!)

'Cause by the end of the year, I wanna get this body back in peak condition!


Otherwise everyone can't welcome in the new year with their awesome smiles! (^-^)NE!


But wait, there's even the rush of radio & tv's surging waves o/~ please anticipate that as well.

And ya know.... seriously.... Days is a beyond-excellent song.


Not at all bad.


And, pretty soon, I'll get Subaru to sing. (haha)


(I can't understand these next two parts, maybe someone who knows japanese better than me can look at it)

I've recieved a while lot of your thoughts, everyone!
I read absolutely all of them, of course.

And, there's more to come so look forward to it!



~ninja vanish!~**

*Kei Ito, her stylist.
**She says "doron" here, which basically means "slipping out unnoticed", but I went with "ninja vanish" cuz she types all cute and that's a cute way to say it. In english I bet you anything she'd say "ninja vanish" if she blogged in english. But just in case you disagree, I put this footnote here so you know exactly what she said.

[Megshere]

Thank you for posting! It's so good to hear that Ayu is doing promo. Can't wait to see her in mags and on tv.

[CeReSu]

New mags and Tv *O*
Can't wait!

[kilia22]

Thank you

[*+Dark.Night.Angel.+*]

Wow!

This was a really refreshing message!
I'm looking forward to listening Days!

And I would like to see some more previews or pics from the video shootings (mainly for Days) and a proper leak of GREEN XD.

Well, I hope Ayu is at peak condition so she can stun us with her amazing voice once again.

*+D.N.A.+*

SOUNDS LIKE SHE MIGHT BE DOING A CDL AFTER ALL!

[Melrose]

!!!!!

Yay! There will be an end year concert!!!

Though instead of this "body fitness training" she should do vocal training instead. but ok

I think both things go hand in hand - the better fit you are, especially in the stomach muscles, the more powerfully your voice projects. So I was happy to see that she said she was going to be training again - it's no coincidence that her best vocal period was arguably in 2004 to mid 2006 and that was when she was in the best shape physically.

I hope Days is as good as she says it is too!

That's pretty much a given considering all the end of the year specials are coming up in addition to the regular shows. I would guess that we are going to hear either Days or Green an absolute minimum of 6 times by January 1st. Unless she decides to do something really cool like perform some of her old classics given that it is her anniversary and A-Complete and all - but I highly doubt it.

that would be sick if she did a vogue/GREEN medley etc etc

it would be like "oh it's GREEN... oh shoot it's vogue! i'm so surprised!"

A lot of fat people are awesome singers, though.

That's true, but usually they are doing a completely different type of singing than what Ayumi does which requires a totally different kind of training, and they don't really move around on stage.

Kind of like Eien no Tsubasa by B'z? (Sorry! That song is an epic ballad!! It made me cry! ) I hope Days will have the same impact that this song and some of the other power ballads B'z put out!

That would be nice. Though, I'm not holding my breath because Ayu's ballad's aren't really anything like B'z ballads.

I hope Days isn't a ballad actually... not unless it's like Together When...

Really? A lot of their most famous songs of all time are ballads. In fact Ayu covered one of them a long time ago, Itsuka no Merry Christmas. (my favorite B'z song)

[BoBo]

10x for the info

[YuriChan]

I SMELL A "EIEN NO TSUBASA" COVER HERE!!! XDDDD
