So if it starts 12:30 GMT, to have it in GMT-8 time all you do is subtract 8 from 12:30.

12:30 - 8 = 6:30 in GMT-8.

16:30 is the same as 4:30 PM, 24 hour system.

Shouldn't it be: 12:30 - 8 = 4:30 in GMT-8? Unless...my math is wrong. xD

Well that is partly true....wasn't she taking English lessons while in Las Vegas with MikaJohn and Max?

oMG, if they do a voicedub, I swear I will mute the sound and just watch the image... i will stand it if they leave her real voice and overlay a lector's voice, but not if they completly mute her own speech X___X

People who have seen BoA's interview, can you tell me WHEN did it start and finish? I have serious trouble figuring out CNN International time schedule, becouse they apparently have time zones messed up on their website (they say there's 2 hours difference between GMT and CET, while it's in fact 1 hour) and I don't know when things are actually airing!! Please help me and just say what time the BoA interview aired and finished and what country you are in, I should be able to track the time difference. Thankies.

[Dustie]

^ yeah.. I think so too xD

the whole schedule on CNN International website is a bit... odd... they say it's 2 hours difference between Greenwich Mean Time [GMT] and Central European Time [CET], while it's in fact 1 hour...

I'm gonna have to spend the whole day waiting for that interview, or else I will just miss it! (I'm pretty talented at it)

AngelAyu >> You sound like you know when it's gonna air... I'm the same time zone as you, GMT+1... So if you can give me the exact hour...

[makie_7]

I'm GMT+1 too. I would like to watch it live

Everyone's complaining about the dubbing... it's not a pre-scripted dub. It'll be the voice of the translator, talking as ayu talks with a slight delay so she can listen & translate. The only CNNI Interview i've seen was Faye Wong's. That's how it's done. They're treating it like any foreign language on the news; dubbing it with a translator as the talking is going on. So that's just how it is. The translator is in the studio as the interview is taking place. They translate the interviewer for the celebrity, and then translate the celebrity for the viewers.

[Surreal]

Actually, IMO, Ayu's English pronunciation is a lot better than BoA. Who claims to be fluent in it. *coughs*

[capsule]

Yes. I sincerely believe that she can really speak English very well. I just wanna watch her interview. I really hope that they won't dub the interview. I just wanna hear she speak English. If some of you guys said that she has polished her English by attending class or travelling overseas, then she must have the confidence to speak English=)

>< It recorded sport news instead of Talk asia today, but I thought the time must be right *kicks CNN*

[CedriK]

OMG I will miss it ! I haven't CNN !! But I think that's great that Ayu will be on an international TV Show, maybe she will announce her Asian Tour and why not a World Tour ? (i know that i'm dreaming but we don't know what can happen ! xD)

Don't worry! Talk Asia (today is the interview with Ken Hirai) hasn't aired yet and the program will start in ~35 minutes, because the air time is 12.30 GMT. I just saw the ad where they also showed some part of the interview with him, some clips from PV's and also said the air time

And since you are in Germany your time zone is GMT+1 (like mine, in Spain), and that's 13.30

*BTW, if you can record and upload today's interview that would be great, because i just have one crappy VCR and the quality of my recording would suck :/

[~angel*ayumi~]

Ok now I should be right xD
Just recoring the Ken Hirai episode, with normal and online recorder.
Not sure if the online recorder works xD

as 73899266 people told before in this thread Ayu will be at Talk Asia on 8th December

[suzaku]

ok sorry ^^"

[immel]

Sorry about saying that it's 6:30 and thanks for correcting me, the time is in fact 4:30, my math was a bit messed up at the time .

I don't understand the 12:30-16:30 thingy either.

[immel]

Thanks for the YT links .

I'm 100% sure that Ayu will be speaking Japanese, and she will be dubbed.

[Dustie]

Thank god it's a dub over, not a complete dubbing...

Anyway, if I get to see Ayumi's interview, it's gonna be my first chance to see Ayu's videos actually ON TV!!! *__*
