I second this.

Here are my pics with her from Friday night.

I asked her to take a pic touching my Ayu tattoo...and she did! Haha


Another individual pic...she's so sweet!


She signed the 8 x 10 I had printed

Really??? I wanna go as well but I have work until 2pm ( I probably gonna go by my car if I want to make it there earlier

god, ayu is so nice! i mean, seriously, she is the nicest celebrity ever!

i remember how all these vicious rumors used to circulate about what a diva she is and how she's so mean, but its sooooo obvious after meeting her and seeing stories from others that she is not that way in the least!

I think the princess of Thailand would differ


She's so nice! I wish I could meet up with her one day (though I'm sure I'd bawl like the a nation girl from last year lol). She is the nicest person! Happy u guys could meet her


I dreamt my sisters and I snuck into her hotel when she wasnt there, and they stole her flat iron. Later they reported to Ayu that I had done it and when I went to see her she flipped me off.

[love in music]

^yeah seriously.. how do you guys keep your cool? I swear I would totally cry!

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ lol they're superhuman?

Idk what Ayu would think if she saw me bawling.... I'm like 6'1, wearing rocker clothes and I'd be crying for this petite japanese cutie woman lol

And I'd try to hug her too

[Azmaria]

Ayu sure can be a bully, only going to places I cannot go, since they are to far away -.- XD

you guys rly lucky

Last night was another long night but it was really fantastic.

We got there too early and were asked to come back later because she wasn't there yet, so we camped at Starbucks for about an hour and went back. And then...rehearsal started. XD I feel like I might have been a bit drill-sargeant-ish, but I really wanted it all to go well. We did the first chorus from MY ALL and I changed the lyrics from "sore ga boku no negai desu" to "kore ga ayu e no negai desu" (translated, it went from "This is my wish" to "This is our wish for Ayu").

There was a decent crowd last night, I would say nearly 20 people, and as soon as she came out we started singing and dancing and she looked so touched. She clapped after we finished the first part but then we kept going and she was shocked and covered her mouth with her hands, told us it was beautiful and that she'd never forget it.

I'm so happy I had the opportunity to fly down to Los Angeles to see her...it was even more perfect than I'd imagined, and having a chance to talk with her a little more last night made me so happy. I'm so happy. <3

^Sounds like a dream. I can't even imagine.

That's freaking awesome! I feel like a song should be sung to her everyday until she leaves. Then she won't forget us~

I don't really understand why people bring this up sometimes. Did she even really go to Thailand? (if you want to see the article, look here: http://www.jref.com/forum/archive/in...p/t-21071.html The woman that is described sounds nothing like Ayu.) As far as I know, it was some gossip story from a magazine that never had any confirmation, and seems to report false information often. I think they were also big pushers of the "Timmy" boyfriend rumor in 2006. Also The Japan Times brought the story to English speakers' attention and they really don't seem to like Ayu at all, with most stories referring to Ayu in a negative manner. They seem to be very pro-Utada Hikaru and anti-Ayumi Hamasaki from what I've seen in their articles.

chocopockymaster, it sounds like you had a blast, as did everyone else! Yay at American fans singing for Ayu! I wonder if any of the fan meetings are going to be documented on the DVD like how a few of them in London were in the Microphone making of.

And yet you failed to see the smiley thing at the end. It was SARCASM, a JOKE! Got it?

chocopockymaster, that sounds really good! I'd die to make her happy and get to see her

[ownsarai]

Good question

[se7entheaven]

^ IKR, like maybe she uses Chanel No.5 or something. (I think No5 sux)

[waterballoon]

^ maybe she uses a Japan-based perfume omg I hope someone tells us asap

[do it again]

I wasn't even planning on seeing her tonight because of the weather and how tired I was, but after her latest tweet I couldn't justify not going! It was just me and ShadeKeiko tonight. I got there and like 10 minutes later, Ayu and Mannie came out! We took a couple of pictures and she signed some magazine clippings for me, and she told me she was looking for me last night!! Haha, I was touched~

Here's a pic of Ayu, Mannie and me. =)



And the one of us 4!
