[Translation] TEAMAyu blog: 3 November "Sauna Journal. (laugh)"

[AyumiAi]

awa she's so cute!

[Tony G]

Depressing ending! The life of a famous person, I guess. It was weird to see a picture of Ayu in a public place all alone, that wouldn't usually happen!

It's a good way to relax, at least I think so.
And having a jade sauna is even better, jade is supposed to have healing properties.

Wow. I'm sort of sad to find out that behind all of her assurances that the attention she gets from her fans keeps her going, she still feels berated by it all. I suppose it's only natural, but she's always so positive about everything. What if the mere act of seeming strong and writing positive words helps her to actually feel those things? I know I've been able to relate. Some days when I feel so run down, I have to take a few minutes to force a smile onto my face in the shower or in my room before I actually start the day so that the act of smiling may help my mood and outlook.

It's great that she found somewhere to let go and be free though. She more than deserves that freedom, which we all take for granted every day, but when taken away for so long, would probably be the end of us. Such a strong girl, Ayu, I think I speak for all of her fans when I say I'm proud of her. ^^

The pictures are so awesome! I laughed so hard about someone brushing their teeth in the Jade sauna. XD But wow, the Jade sauna looks so beautiful!! I would probably spend all of my time in that one. And then run over to the Ice sauna to normalize myself.
I am so glad Ayu had a good time.
Thanks so much for your translation Misa-chan~ I really appreciate your hard work!

We should go bug her

It's soooo relaxing. Heat loosens your muscles and everything...it's nice.

I've heard that some people do it to help them loose weight...but I think it doesn't matter that much since it's all water weight or something lol

The clay one looks so amazing...it must be soo massaging...if it they were hard enough to make her feet hurt...

[flyingpotato__]

Where is she? US?

[Yoake]

foods looks yummy *.*

Short answer: Yes. Longer and detailed answer available at Wikipedia: Sauna - Health, risks and benefits. And the whole Sauna-article: Sauna

And thank you Misa-chan for translation.

[~StarCatcher~]

I really am happy for her to have such a lovely day finally^^

Though it's sad to hear how stressfull her job is most of the time.

[TheBaronAndAyu]

I loled at the toothbrush and typhoon.

[Mayayu]

Lovely!!! So happy that Ayu could enjoy simple things the simple way, i hope fans won't find her where she is.

Thank you for translation, Misa-chan!

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

LOL. she's so cute. Oh, after she posted this, surely every crazy TA members will come to that place...

thanks misa-chan..

haha!

I wouldn't mind...

But what I thought was: Why don't they wear bikinis (women) and shorts (men)?

[kendelle]

This is a loooooooooooong message, I wonder how long she spent writing it?!

I want to spend a day in a sauna too, pity I will never have the money xD

The end of the entry makes me feel pretty sad though, if I saw Ayu in the street I would be so happy and run over (probably not look for traffic and die lol) to greet her and ask for a photo. Does that make me a nuisance to her? I am happy that she enjoyed the spa enough to relax and sleep in the middle of the room though.

Thank you as always Misa! Such a shame people keep ripping you off >_< I love your translations *_*

[Shirlaay]

Wow, sounds like she had a lot of fun.

I guess you havent gone to the sauna after hard and long workday.
...with beer of course. Thats the healthy part. hehehe

~~~relaxing

btw, no "smoke sauna" ? =) ....maybe someone mentioned that already..
(never been in sauna with my phone) xD

[ayumasing]

Wah, now I know where I want to go in LA! It looks like she had so much fun!

The end, though, made me sad. Especially with all the one-liners; even though she has a had a fruitful (and fun?) life, at the same time, perhaps she never truly felt free. I mean, she expresses her happiness by saying that she felt like a little kid, and that even the best part was that no one knew who she was.

Geez, now what would I do if I met her? I mean, I would totally go up to her and ask for an autograph and picture, but at the same time, I want to respect her and let her have fun, you know?

Anyways, I am glad that she had fun at a spa, even though at first she was not fond of them!

[ayumasing]

And of course, thank you ever so much for your hard work and translation, Misa-Chan. We truly appreciate it.
