@Choyan
When my friend got there on 4th September afternoon, she said that the photobook is still a few more, about 200-250. I think you should try to go there and grab it fast when it's still available

I think timmy was translating english to ayu using Japanese..or he told her maybe with slower english prronunciation,so she could understand.
I think ayu still has a prob in english listening.. She can read, speak but not really can listen well to other people's english pronunciation.

LOL I thought that Timmy was there because he is like Ayu's new PA? Haha, I don't know really.

Yeah, he is a drag queen or whatever in Brillante as well as the composer, no? But I honestly don't get her thinking. Is Tk going to become a Staff member as well now that he's written songs for her? Are her dancers and composers going to sit with her when she goes on Music station? I still don't even know what Shuya is doing there other than being fuel for rumours ( I don't think theres any truth to them) She should have just gone by herself as she has for other functions in the past, other wise change her professional name to Ayumi Hamasaki and friends.

I always see Shuya as her rumbustious gay friend lol

The translations seemed to have become a complete mess during the event. At one point, you saw Timmy translating for Ayu and then the other woman who's the Chinese-to-English translator or whatever leaning in to help but then Ayu swiped her arm at her to tell her it's okay. It seemed rather rude to me and I'd rather they just had one translator do the job.

At another point another guy leaned in to translate to Timmy and then Timmy told Ayu what the MC was saying. The MC also tried to communicate directly to Ayu in English but she needed a slower enunciation to understand.

... i.e. it was a total mess and that's why it took Ayu so long to answer the simple question about how she felt about the whole 3D thing... her answer ended up being really short as well.

In the end when she stood in front of the fans, she apologized for the communication problems but nobody took it to heart, which is good. Still though, I felt kind of sorry for the translators there. :S It wasn't their fault. And when Ayu starting cutting in when Shuya's translator was speaking, I thought that was rude as well...

Overall a complete mess in terms of communication!

Still, Ayu looked great.

majrakun · #**154** 4th September 2011, 06:42 PM

^ Yeah. I cringed when she was cutting in. And I was so confused at the number of people talking to her. x__x

Ayu posted newspaper pictures on her twitter, but apparently the titles are bad? She says she doesn't care though, lol. What does it say actually?

I felt really bad for the translator dude. Please Ayu let him to his job.

I'm pretty sure they hinted Ayu x Shuya by asking how Shuya feels about Ayu which I thought was completely misinformed and they should have done their research.

yeah, they are pretty bad. >.< the second and third one said something like ayu abandoned Mannie and found a new boyfriend (Shuya). they also commented about ayu's low cut dress, showing her cleavage...blah blah blah. I saw similar headlines on other HK entertainment magazines as well. the first title said that ayu was late and her arrival caused a disturbance at the airport.

He was part of her staff before he composed BRILLANTE, it just happens he's a musician. Why shouldn't he be allowed to submit music to Ayu too? Especially if they're as good as BRILLANTE.

Ayu seems drunk in these clips, good for her..let her enjoy herself.

pepper · #**159** 4th September 2011, 07:58 PM

I dont really see that she is drunk o_O

Mirrorcle_Star · #**160** 4th September 2011, 08:09 PM

I dont see she's drunk... I think she's just excited
