TA msg 550: And voila!

I think it's a mini DVD, ones that go in video recorders. That's what she means by "disproportionate size". That means, not the size of an actual DVD. But I don't know of PCs that could play mini DVDs. It has to be a disc though, otherwise she wouldn't have thought it was a DVD.

i would love to see that singing/dancing event as well..

[love in music]

thanks so much for this clear translation!
i don't understand how she couldn't view it either.. but i hope she will be able to. she's so sweet

[chloeM]

thanks for the translation~~~

[roanmy]

It was probably, like some people mentioned, a smaller size DVD physically -wise. But it shouldnt be much trouble finding a PC to view it on O_o

[koumori]

Awwh! Only Ayumi would worry so much about something to do with her fans ^_^

Thanks for posting up! ^o^ What a nice story~ I can't believe she apologised for telling something personal though XD

[nemesisyume]

thanks for the translation

she is really sweet

[ayumisrael]

Awwww that's so sweet of that group and ayu is so cute wishing to find them. ^___^
I hope they will get to send her a message...

[KarenPang]

thanks for the updates Chelsea

Well me i just figured she ment those half sized DVDs thats used for the new didigital cam corders and she has a slot in dvd that can only manage the full size once. The small once tend to get stuck inside the player if you even try to insert it. I might be wrong thought...

[waterballoon]

Thank you! She's really sweet~

[ALfromHELLSING]

I LOVE you Ayu! You are so awesome!! ^_^
~thnx for this great message!
EDIT. I wonder if it was DVD from video camera...

[micster]

Its probably a miniDVD
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniDVD

Some cameras record straight onto them and if you try putting them into a slot loading DVD drive then it'll get stuck and not play. You need a draw with the grooves so it'll fit

[4ever*ayu]

^but it said on wiki that it's commonly used for camcorders and playable on most dvd players...yea a dvd player! (it just cross my mind! lol) ,
why don't we recommend ayu to play it dvd player instead of PC.
but how we contact ayu..hmmm...!!?

ayu is the type of person we could call 'the sweetest thing' on earth!!

[crea_spain]

I used those mini-dvd in my trip to Japan with my video camera and all of them can be played on PC or DVD players (at least in my sony vaio) the bad news is that some of them can break (too sensitive to sudden movements when recording) and then don't work so there are times that the player will not read those mini-dvd's... I broke 2 during my trip

I hope Ayu will find them and get a new copy ^^

I wanna to see an excerpt from his performance in the next arena tour DVD

[AyumiBest]

Ayu is so nice. T^T

[Kazeyomi]

A DVD for old pc? D: wow Japan is too advanced lol.
Anyway she's really sweet! >_< I hope she can find a pc for see the DVD!

Thanks for the translation

[Lanz16]

[ayu_fantasy]

She's really a nice person! Always grateful and humble. This coming from a superstar is very rare. Thx for this!

Yes indeed, Ayu does love her fans.

And those fans love her right back !! I'm speechless that a group of fans would do what they did to alleviate the disappointment when the concert was cancelled.

I'm sure Ayu will find a way to acknowledge and thank these fans who stood up for her and moved her to tears.
