2010-now you can find here http://ayufan.com/blog

But it will take a lot of time & I think it's unnecessary

Thank you, but I do not have a jpopsuki account! And am not asking for an invitation, could not keep up with the demands of keeping up an account

Maybe, since you are not following Ayu daily, just the main big news when a new album is coming. How far she is, release dates etc.
Anyway I support your project! Great idea!

Thank you!! Yes, the front page will have the latest releases and so on, but unfortunately that'll be it. I can't keep up with her, and it's not like she's on TV every week!

I was thinking it would include lyrics by album (with an English translation of course!) with a few pages dedicated to each of the songs lyrics.

On each song's pages, with the lyrics I would have:

• Full credits including instruments on the track etc
• Pictures from the era (like the off-shoots from the A Complete booklet, behind the scenes pictures, PV photos)
• Any related comments such as something Ayu said about the recording of the song or her personal thoughts on it
• Stats about the song's chart position etc
• As the website owner, any of your own thoughts on the song

Sort of like a database for anything you could want to know about your favourite Ayu song.

Hmmm... this sounds difficult, I'll explain why:

Even now I'm doing the pages of each of her concerts - and there's really not enough info about them. And I only speak three languages (Finnish, Swedish, English).

I remember reading a lot about Ayu when I first found her - trying to get as much info about her as possible! I remember reading that "teddy bear" was written for her mother and every time she sang A Song for XX she was hoping her father would be in the audience and here it. But here's the tricky part - what's true and what is not? Unless it comes straight from Ayu - and this means interviews or her home page - I can't trust it's true. And uhh, me having to read all the Ayu interviews (the one's translated, of course) just to find out..? Sorry, doesn't sound like something I even want to do because of my new rule to not read too much about Ayu since I'm afraid to "know her too well". Never meet your idol, right?

Side not: I've never read a complete Ayu interview. Ever. And I'm happy as a clam.

I took your advice and changed it! Is it better? Please tell me all what you think:

If I'm able to find out, I'll tell you But since I do not have the "bonus discs" (unless I have the DVD, and I have very few) I can't give you pictures of the bonus discs :/

Thank you all for your kind words!! It means A LOT!!

[SKYia]

I kind of feel like I'd love to re-watch some old concerts so if you want I can make some screenshots and send them to you, from the bonus discs as well.

Really?? Oh wow! That'd be amazing! You have all the bonus discs from the Arena Tours and CDL? Because taking pics of them is hard work (I came to notice this...)

Here's a new preview pic!
Tell me, how does this look?

Spoiler:

Of course I'll put more on the page, I just want to know, what you think of the layout? Does it look stupid with all three kind of lyrics?
Translation by Misha-chan! I've yet to ask premision to use her translations on my site so like I said - just a preview I did for you all to see.

It's way better!
As for the lyrics, i think it's also good.

Nice idea, Sandy! You're free to post my interview translations (with credit) if you'd like.

Aww, thank you! Although when I clicked the link it said "Sorry - no matches". Do you have your own website/blog?

Edit: I guess I should've looked at your signature more carefully..?

^ Ah, seems linking to search results doesn't work. AHS has a few older translations that aren't on my blog. If you use AHS's advanced search to search for "threads started by tenshi no hane (user) in Ayu Celebrity News (thread)" you can get them all~

Haha, no worries. You've done well to avoid full Ayu interviews!

I really like the updated preview pic - it reminds me of Ayumi's album booklets.

[luna7996]

I would love an ayupan section if you have the desire and time to do it. Eneabba use to be my ayupan bible but its been a while since he/she updated it.

The lyric with translation section looks flawless from that preview by the way.

[DhyanSat]

I like the previews so far.

Best of luck on your website. Has it launched?

Ayu definitely needs a new fansite since the others have stop updating? Why did they? :/
