senpai = senior or elder

I only know that Ayu dropped out of school in her mid/late teens, I think she was picked up by a talent agency pretty soon after she did.

Does anyone know if she had already left school when NOTHING FROM NOTHING was created?

10th grade equals the age of 15 or 16, so it seems appropriate .

really...? this page says otherwise:

Specifically:
Quote:
  (S) Did your family agree that you were going to enter a senior high school in Tokyo and live in Tokyo doing some show business activities?
  (A) Yes, no problem.
LOL I think it's kind of funny how Ayu quit:

(S) Did you quit school of your own will?
(A) Yes. I remember vaguly I sent a fax message, after writing on a paper, "I quit." (Laugh)
(S) (Laugh) Just like a notice of withdrawal?
(A) It was because I didn't want to see the people, such as my teachers.

Fans barely read Masa's translations / the ROCKIN article. It's a must-read for any fan, almost like the NTV Interview 2004.

She tells about almost everything from her past - how she would stay after school in early grades becouse nobody could pick her up, how she did advertisements for various places in her home Fukuoka [like banks], how she went to Guam to do photoshoot and didn't want to behave like other hired girls did, how she stayed in a dormitory of her agency right after coming to Tokyo... the only subject it misses completly is the NOTHING FROM NOTHING release. They say no word about it.


READ THIS PEOPLE! >> http://homepage2.nifty.com/morimasa/rockin.html <<
As soon as I find time I shall read the translation again and do a summary of her life before Avex times and put into her Wikipedia entry.

I haven't heard about this.

I only know she doesn't really know her dad and the last memory of him she has is when he left home - once for good... She said she isn't really interested in anything that concerns him and doesn't feel the need to find/meet him.

I had always thought that she didn't even know who her father actually was, so then they wouldn't know if he had died or not since it isn't known who he actually is.

Oh yes definitely. Her first television credit is from 1992 which means she was already in Tokyo by the age of 14. She did go to a performing arts school there, but did not stay long. It's unclear how long she was actually there but I get the impression that it was short. Her official age of dropping out is unclear, but given this info I would have to guess anywhere between 13-16. I would guess 14/15.

It does get confusing, because the dates don't exactly match up.
