I just provided a correct translation as opposed to the one apparently provided by instagram.

Lol i just knew instagram’s translation was a bit wacky, it would take me a long time to translate it myself cause my japanese is so rusty. Thank u for the clarification.

Did he say anything interesting?

No. It was a random chat with a friend of him about a TV series called "Doctor Who". As I saw he ignored all ayu-related messages, I asked him about the series he was talking about and he was nice to reply

I feel as if this "keep it nice" is directed at me and I don't really understand why. After Andali posted what they understood from the auto translation but that it was a little confusing, I went straight to instagram, took a look and gave a better translation to clear things up for them. I just wanted to help amd I even added conciously so that my correction of the instagram translation wouldn't come of as harsh. Or did it? And this is an honest question.
I just felt a little said that after I just wanted to help, the first comment popping up is kind of correcting my own translation based not on what she had writting but on a hashtag and to be honest I felt a little attacked.
I remember when I was always the one being grateful for people giving me proper translations and whenever I can I'm happy if I can now kind of give this back. I just tried to help Andali and it makes me said if I get a more or less passive aggressive response for that from someone else for no reason.

You're very welcome! =)

It was directed generally to try and stop any further escalation of the translation discussion. I'll DM you later today to discuss this further.

New IG post:

ひとり時間が出来たら、身体のストレスを和らげるTimeスタート

ぬるめのメディテーションバスに浸かって全身温めて、ストレッチポールで肩甲骨ほぐして、胸をたーくさん開 いて新しい酸素をいれて。

自分が包まれていて一番落ち着ける素材のパジャマを着たら、レモンのエッセンシャルオイルをディフューザー に入れて芳香浴

あとはフカフカの羽毛布団にくるまれば極楽タイム

明日はどんな一日かなって考えながら

#morningsicknessallday

rough translation (corrections welcome)
This was posted with emojis that can't be reposted here!

What to do to relieve physical stress when alone

Soak in a lukewarm meditation bath to warm your whole body, loosen your shoulder blades with your stretch pole*, then take a big deep breath.

When you're wrapped in pajamas in your most soothing material, use some lemon essential oil in a diffuser.

After that, if you wrap yourself in a fluffy blanket, it's paradise time

Thinking about what kind of day it will be tomorrow

*kind of like a foam roller—it runs the length of your spine and you lay on top of it on the floor (thank you to chocopockymaster for the clarification!)

Thank you for translating the posts!
It sucks that she seems to suffer from the morning sickness so badly during the pregnancy

By this saying, you just want to stalk on her? So you can go to check her account from time to time to make sure she set her accounts private all the time? What is the different between violating her privacy?

She does not want people to know her private accounts and thats why she has her own private account.

Wtf is this kind of toxic fandom, wants to know everything about her

If she wanted it to be truly private, she wouldn't have used it back in the day to interact with fan photos, like the one that Earth Maiden mentioned with Timmy.
I completely agree with letting her have her privacy where she can and I'm not personally interested in finding out alternative accounts she might still have, but considering how this was brought up (from a fan), it makes sense that someone would ask. It's not a sign of a toxic fandom when you look at the entire context so let's not blow it out of proportion.

Imo Ayu probably has another IG account that she only follows and interacts with her friends and family on like most celebrities, and that wouldn't be the one she used for fan stuff.

[pommy48]

As long as people aren't DMing her private account or sharing it with others, it's not toxic.

I still think it's creepier that fans take selfies in front of her house/neighborhood.

thank you Koumori, for your measured explanation without resorting to insinuations and rude assumptions

I don't think knowledge of what the account itself is harmful to her privacy, at all, because, after all, it is private and locked and will never be open to people who aren't her inner circle. if she didn't want anyone to simply find or stumble upon this account, she would not have made any social media account.

as pommy48 has already mentioned, what violates her privacy would be to follow her around in real life and reveal the location of her private whereabouts. I think we all can tell how different this is from the mere knowledge of her private social media account.

I kind of wish this were a concert outfit. I love how it looks on her

[Chris85]

I really don't like when people semi-wearing their masks.

[maxikot]

^ same. But here she seems to be standing in some remote place, maybe even her house so it's okay if that's the case. When she was walking in the city another day I remember her face was properly covered.

[Toniayu123]

^it’s a public place since she’s went to a store to buy a present for a friend but had to wait outside because it was crowded lol But I think she did it for the picture only. At least she’s wearing a proper mask.

[Deep snow]

I didn't notice that it was hanging below her nose wow (too focused on the coat lol)

she usually wears her masks properly though. if you see the concert making footage, she's usually observing rehearsals and everything while wearing masks, so I assume she's used to it. I hope this isn't a case of her violating health protocols.

[Earth_maiden]

maybe her pregnancy is making her feel short of breath? Masks aren't always easy to breathe in.
