About the criticm thing: Maybe someone from asia can comment on that? If its really that bad it can be removed, but i would really like to keep that line, its very important for me

Yeah that one was awesome, but I was referring to the one from PCDL, which was butchered ^^

Sure, it's Wikipedia but it mentions some things that I have heard so often.
I'm sure Ayu is influenced by Western thinking, but to what extent?

Also mentioned at Japan Reference briefly (http://www.jref.com/culture/japanese...tiquette.shtml)

Avoid being expressing your opinion too directly. Japanese have what they call "honne" (real opinion) and "tatemae" (public opinion). They will express the latter in most situation so as not to disturb the group harmony. It is of course flexible and consist in agreeing with the people around you as much as possible.

Spoiler:

She lip synced 1 LOVE and until that Day more recently in CDL09-10, dear.

noidea · #**325** 20th January 2010, 07:05 PM

^ For 1 LOVE and Until that Day... im 90% sure she didnt, her voice broke more than once in the songs.
You can tell me about 6 songs in AT09 and ill believe you, but not a single one in this cdl xD

**zoomzoom** · #**326** 20th January 2010, 07:16 PM

Please don't turn this into a lip sync debate thread.

Should the rumors be true about her going there to record her new album, she's gonna be there for at least a week, if not more seeing how long she took recording NEXT LEVEL in LA.

relmy · #**327** 20th January 2010, 07:37 PM

Okay, if Ayu is in London now then we have a problem!! It sounds pretty accurate, about the forecast being snow, 1 degrees, and her arriving at 8PM works out with her time of posting her original message.

I saw in the other thread someone ringing companies to find out, so hopefully we'll be able to track her down at some point. I'm going at the weekend to search on my own for her (armed with sharpie, AT09 bag and A COMPLETE >P)

she recorded nl in la? so cool. I didn't know she came to america that recently.

njanjayrp · #**329** 20th January 2010, 08:49 PM

^ (miss)understood was also mostly recorded in the States, if I recall well.

polka-dot-jewel · #**330** 20th January 2010, 09:06 PM

Many of hers songs have been recorded here, as well as plenty of her PVs. It's not new for her to come to America to do anything, but Europe... I'm glad she's expanding her verizons even more! XD (And, yes, I do realize she went to Italy and France before, but it's nice to hear that she's possibly in London.)

amorphose · #**331** 20th January 2010, 09:51 PM

I'll be e-mailing my finished entry tonight or tomorrow. I'll post it here when it's done too.

I really doubt someone is going to find her. xD Unless someone can get the 5-star hotels to say if Ayu is staying there. o.o I really hope someone on the forum will call those~.

kirei_ayumi · #**333** 20th January 2010, 10:10 PM

quick londoners lol google search 5 star hotels in London!
ayu just gotta get this fanbook~!! geez, I hope this works

TickTock · #**334** 20th January 2010, 10:16 PM

Well, actually, we know a few possible hotels: Savoy, The May Fair or The Ritz Hotel.

Heck, it would be easy to look the phone numbers up. But I'm an absolute mess when it comes to phonecalls, especially ones where I have to ask for something, so I'm hoping someone else will call. xD

aura~ · #**335** 20th January 2010, 10:34 PM

I think we can only hope that she'll post pics and that those pics will show more than her face XDD

TickTock · #**336** 20th January 2010, 10:39 PM

Yea, I know right. >.< Did she do that when she went to Paris?

aura~ · #**337** 20th January 2010, 10:43 PM

^I can't say because I wasn't TA member... but back then the tyupe of posts was diferent.. she changed the TA diary design this summer... before that (and also the time she went to paris) she didn't post pics in her blog entries, instead, she had "Today's photo" section... and one day she could update with 30 pics talking a bit about them, and then no update any pic for 2 weeks...

so even if she did post pics in feb.2008 it would be days after...

also the frequency of her psot have increased in the last year, and now we can expect her to update quick...

moreover, in the misa-chan translation we can read "I've upload photos, i'll post later"

so we can spect pics tomorrow??

Chandrachan · #**338** 20th January 2010, 11:12 PM

wow a really good idea - i'm gonna start on my letter right away - if Ayu does come to London i'll get on a train straight away
Does anyone know what day she might be going to London?

Hatix · #**339** 20th January 2010, 11:12 PM

I'm in!
And I'm coming to London too! I'm not missing her again like in Paris!

She didn't update much during her Paris trip in '08 (she was only there for a week, after all), but she updated frequently during her trip to LA / AZ in early '09, with quite a few pictures and even a video or two. We'll probably expect the same with this trip.

But, like you said, Ayu has uploaded the pictures, so maybe once she's well-rested and not too busy, she'll put up the pictures.
