[Official Message] Official TeamAyu 'A & STAFF DIARY' entries

pimenta · #1 1st November 2013, 12:48 PM

As it has been discussed in the twitter thread, I'm creating this thread for the new official TA entries that are being posted with official English translations

It's better to have a separated thread for this than posting those in the twitter thread, right? I hope everything is ok and the tag is right...

Post the original messages and translations, but it's better to not post the pictures, because they specifically ask fans to not post those outside TA...

Here are all the entries that have been posted in English so far:

まぁ人それぞれ、自らで常に何かを選択しながら生きているわけだから、私はそれに対してジャッジをするつもりもなければ、そんな権利もない。

ただ、自分の瞳に飛び込んできたものに対して、脳だか心だか、その両方だかが即座に反応し、現実逃避するように一瞬で携帯を閉じたのは紛れもない事実だ。

またしてもサプライズとかいう便利で都合の良い言葉で片付けられるんだろう。

いつかの昔に言ったように、騙すぐらいなら騙されるほうがよっぽどいい。裏切るぐらいなら、裏切られたほうがよっぽどいい。

皆に勘違いして欲しくないのは、私が腹を立てているのは「自分自身に」対してであって、その他の誰でもないから、どうか誰かを言葉で攻撃したりはしないで欲しい。
言葉は本当にこわいから。そして難しいものだから。

Of course, every person is different.

And because every person lives by and makes his or her own choices I do not think I have the ability or the right to judge the choices they make.

However, those things that jump up in front of me and get sucked into my eyes, and weather it be my brain, my feelings or even both of them, They always react immediately to the situation.

It's an indisputable fact that it is like shutting off, closing my cell phone in an instant to get away from this ugly, unpleasant reality.

And probably, one might think that it is easily wiped clean by an easily used and a very useful word called, “ Surprise ”.

As I probably said in the past, it’s better to be fooled --- than to fool someone.

It's much better to be betrayed --- than to betray someone.

I don’t want anyone to misunderstand; I am not angry with anyone but only angry with myself.

The anger is not meant towards anyone at all. I do not want anyone to attack with angry words to anyone.

Words are very hurtful and very complex, AND THEY LAST FOR A LONG TIME WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN SAID AND WORDS CAN NEVER BE TAKEN BACK ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN SAID.

ACTIONS ALWAYS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

まず、今回のうちのダンサーズの写真の件で、事前に何のインフォメーションもなく、皆にショックを与えてしまったこと、悲しませてしまったこと、呆れさせてしまったこと、残念な気持ちにさせてしまったこと、混乱させてしまったこと、本当に本当にごめんなさい。

代表して謝るべきは、座長である私なのでこの場を借りて、謝罪をさせて下さい。

そして、昨日丸一日さんざん話してわかった、彼ら側からの話も伝えさせて下さい。

ダンサーズは、私への誕生日＆15周年のサプライズプレゼントとして写真集を作ってプレゼントしたいから協力してくれないか？とのオファーをそれぞれ受けたようです。

そこでメンバー達は、各々スケジュールを調整し、撮影日に合わせてくれ、絶対にこのサプライズを成功させよう、だから絶対にあゆにバレないように進めていこう！ってかなり気合いを入れてくれていたんだそう。

プラス、その写真達は完全にプライベートなもので、あゆしか見ないと言われていたようで、それが本人達への確認もなく、エイベックスへの連絡もなく、突然一般公開されてしまい、本人達も一体何が起こっているのか、頭が真っ白になってしまって、昨日は可哀想なほど全員とても動揺し、かなり落ち込んでいました。
と言うか、今もまだ皆動揺しています。

やはり、一般に出すつもりがなかったものが、ある日突然出てしまったショックは、男女関係なく大きいと思うんだ。プライベートなら笑えたものも、全く笑えなくなっちゃったよね。。

メンバーから私へのせっかくの想いが、こんな形となってしまったこと、本当に残念だけど、でもね、最後に私とメンバーとで話したのは、色々あったけど笑顔で会いたいね！って事。泣きながら笑いながらの会話だったけどさ。そんな私達でした。

カウントダウンLIVEへ向けて、私達はこの逆境のなか、また強い絆を結び直すことができたと思うんだ。

最後まで読んでくれてありがとう。
これからも私達一座をよろしくお願いします！！！

次回はもっと楽しい話をしにくるよ！！！！！
あ、映像もいいねー、昨日コメがなんかiPhoneで撮ってたなぁー。。

First and foremost, I truly with all my heart apologize for making all of you feel shocked, sad, appalled, uncomfortable, and confused in regards to my dancers photos being released without any information in advance.

As the Chief of the group, please let me use this opportunity to truly apologize in this matter.

Let me convey their story after we quickly got their stories and the reasons they ended up in such A situation.

The dancers individually got an offer to have their picture taken to surprise me with a photo book on my birthday and my 15th anniversary celebration.

The dancers all adjusted each of his or her schedules for the shoot date and in order to make this surprise a successful one, they made a strong effort not to be found out by me.
Everyone was psyched to make the surprise a successful one.

Because they were all told that the photo is a private photo, the photo book was for Ayu’s eye only and without the dancer's permission, without Avex’s permission, the photo’s were released to the public.

The danders, everyone was speechless and went blank for a whole day. everyone was all depressed and without any words yesterday.

Theyare still feeling like that right now.

I feel that they felt, that a photo that was not supposed to be out in public,that does go out in public, no matter if you are man or women, it is a huge shock for anyone.

YES, if it was a privately shared photo, we could all have shared a private laugh together and had fun, but now, we can’t even put up a smile.

But in conclusion, even though it was a precious thought from the everyone, and it ended up in such A regrettable situation, we decided by talking with everyone that when we see each other again, we promised to meet with a smile. At the end, we all laughed and we all cried as we talked about it.

Now in proceeding to the Countdown show, this adversity, has only made our bond to become even much stronger.

Thanks for reading this til the end.

Thank you for always supporting us members.

Next time, it will definitely be a brighter and happier story.

The video is also very nice,

Kome was filming yesterday.
