[2007] [News] Ayu - Technology + Shoes freak

Brief summary from MyPaper:

Ayumi is a total tech and shoes freak - during an interview with a Japanese magazine, she said "I have soo many pairs of shoes, I feel happy just by looking at them. I know, I'm an idiot right? Haha!"

She also has a big room dedicated to her shoes - and there are special storage and lightings for her shoes. "My shoe room is big enough to be a museum!"

Ayu also added that she once saw a very comfy pair of house shoes (about USD$70), and bought over 5 pairs at one go in different colours.

She also likes big TV screens and other tech gadgets - she even has a DVD viewing facility in her bathroom. "Sometimes I give them to my friends, but they always complain that my appliances are way too big for them to put in their house!"

Luckily for Ayu, she lives in a 5-storeys bungalow, the first floor is her own management agency, the other 4 floors are her living area.

Another news (forgot the source):

Ayumi is a lover of humidifiers. According to her staff, she has so many at home that her ceilings and expensive leather furniture always leak or grow moldy.

^I think this might be true as Tamori-san made fun of Ayu recently on MS saying 'Your Asia Tour..er..how many humidifiers are you gonna bring?' And Ayu laughed embarrassingly saying they are very important to her and she's gonna bring more than 20.

Omg, Ayu's household information overload o.O

How exactly does a bungalow look like? Cuz wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungalow] says it's usually one storey high...

a humidifier is this thing used to take moisture out of the air, their really useful for basements where it's cold, or when you're sick. All you do is plug it into the wall xD

Anyways...I wish I was Ayu Rich! XD
I loveee shoes. I can just never find them in my size. T_T *big feet desu* XD

Also, maybe Bungalows are different in japan? o.o


[EDIT]

Now that I've read some of the wiki article...

Quote:
The Indian usage is different from the North American usage insofar as a bungalow can be a quite large, multi-storied building which houses a single extended family. In India, owning a bungalow is a highly significant status symbol.

And they do good to your throat, that's why she uses them, so her throat is in good condition... I've read about Madonna being always against her husband using air conditioning in hotels, becouse it doesn't do well to her vocal cords. Since conditioned air is usually cold air, I suppose air humidifier humids the air so it has a more throat-friendly temperature, as well as making it well-moisted, so that your throat doesn't go dry.

Yeah, I also thought it might be different in Japan than it is in USA...

I think they mean like her apartment has 5 floors. I remember hearing it's located in Roppongi, but I don't think anyone knows for sure.
