^Wow nice! She and you look lovely! :D

I wonder if I should head to Socal again... I might drag my best friend to it or something. xD

omg... I'm so speechless!! XDD

thank you soo much for sharing your experience with us all!!! I feel so close to ayu just like ownsarai said before T_T

she is such a common girl :P and I'm glad that we get to see this side of her too, through you guys :D

keep it up!!! (L)

Ugh just typed out a post on my iPhone but lost it.

Tonite was magical though!! And Ayu signed my iPhone with MY NAME!!!!!!

Best day EVER.

Ayu is so amazing. I don't think any other artist as big as she is would do anything like this...

amen

I'm sure she'll do something about it now that she knows. :D

Ayu is the greatest Person out there, now I really envy you guys who live in LA and I am stuck here in Germany XD

the photos are amazing, still waiting for someone to post those with mannie =P

thx alot to you guys for sharing this special moments with us ^^

and question, where are the female fans, I only see guys there (not that it is bad, its cool) but where are the ladies XD

I hope! Ayu had her iPhone out and I asked her if she had the case with her and she said she didn't, and I told her I loved it and she was like oh thank you! Haha, I want that bedazzled case!!

those pics with her are truly amazing... and you still have 9 days left xD
I can't wait to see what lovely pics may follow ^^

Hmmm, I think you guys should try singing to Ayu some time before she leaves for Japan~

It'd be sweet and she'd probably really enjoy it! Gaaaah, I wonder how many albums are gonna have these uber-amazing fan meetings associated with them~

It'll be really special to have Love songs because this is the album she is working on while she is meeting with us... I hope she can come back so she can sign it for me!! Haha.

goshhh I'm so envy with all of the US fans that could meet up with Ayu..
awwww u guyssss areeeee so luckkyy..
i can't even say anything..goshh!!!
i wish i could be there >.<

I can see her adorable reaction about the microsd and iphone lol

Please sing to her! Like whoever is waiting should all decide to sing a song like independent for example and when u see her coming out to meet and greet, start singing and doing the choeography! ^^

^MY ALL would be appropriate! :D Curtain call would be a better one! ^_^

I think RED LINE would be best.

You guys...lucky!
Darn, I thought she wanted to take break.
Does anyone know when she'll want to see fans again?

OH MYYYYY GOD!!!!
After reading all this I get so HAPPY and..RESTLESS haahah..
Since I'm not from US, I don't know much of inter state transportation...is there like a bus from San Francisco to L.A.?....I'd be so awesome to meet her ･ﾟ・(ﾉД`)・ﾟ・

^amtrak or greyhound would be easiest and cheap

Wow!!!! I'm so happy for you guys!!! (and I wish I lived in California now XD)
Ayu's awesome, I love her even more now ;_; ♥

^Brad and Brian!♥

So many nice pics and a great experience for some of us, i'm very happy for you!

your joy is my joy

wow, i'm so happy for you all! And Cutie, you made it to the HK magazine! Haha. :D
Ayu looks amazing and cute! Oh how I wish I could meet her one day! !

omg omg all of your pictures, guys, this looks like the best night ever (for ayu fans:laugh).
I am so happy for you!!!

Just to thank you guys for sharing your experience! It's really kind of you : )

Ayu is such a beautiful person. So human.

Where did you post this video? Or didn't you upload it yet, because I find it really interesting!

:love

Wow.

I posted my pictures about a page or two back, I have on the pink sweater. I was the only girl in our small group XD

If I had any money, I say, "Screw Thanksgiving!" and fly down to LA ;___;

But I'm so happy for those of you who have met Ayu so far! XD

Yes happy sunshine and glitter. Am I the only one who realized that cutie's photo showing up in the tabloid means that we're being watched?

I'm at LAX on the way home. :(

Good luck to everyone else with meeting Ayu! This was like a dream!!!

^^ayu news/pics from here get reposted on blogs, twitters, other forums etc. they could have not even found it here specifically.

So lucky!! I literally cried all night cause I didn't go last night! I was so mad at my boyfriend cause he wouldn't let me go. We almost broke up cause of this. Today is his birthday but I'm going to see Ayumi everyday until she leaves!

They were more than likely taken from somewhere like Ayu's Story or Twitter.

@cutie Your report was absolutely incredible to read. I'm so happy for you right now, I cannot stop smiling! You're very lucky, I hope you cherish your memories forever. Also, thank you for sharing all your pictures/stories with us. ^.^

I'm sooo jealous! I don't even know if anyone was willing to take my letter to her ;__;
I hope to meet her someday. Ahh.. please come to Florida Ayu!

Thanks for sharing all of your pictures and reports.
Reading the reports makes me feel much closer to Ayu <3

^ Me too! I want to send her a letter but I dunno if someone would mind giving it to her for me. >_<

I know, me too! It sucks :dead2

You guys could always send it to the hotel, you still have a week until she leaves.

^I have it ready... BUT NO STAAAAAAAMPS!!! (ToT)

lol I feel like the unluckiest person ever. I live in LA yet I still haven't been able to meet her....Something always comes up. Hopefully I can do it this weekend. But with my luck, I doubt it.

Sigh.

This is all too unreal. Those of you who met her are beyond lucky and she seems unbelievably nice and considerate. If she comes within driving distance of where I live, ever, I shall NOT waste that opportunity.

I'm going on Sunday, anyone else planning to?

I'm seriously trying to make it there to meet her on Saturday.

^Good luck! I wish I had something for you to get signed for me. ^^;;

oh my God Ayu is so sweet... <3 amazing lady oh gosh <3

& I can just imagine her speaking in English... ahhhhh

And I'm going to meet up with her...never. :P Unfortunately. Maybe one day she will come here before I leave for college....

As for everyone else, I hope you guys had fun meeting her! From the way everyone is reporting, she is so sweet and considerate! I am glad that some of us had the pleasure of meeting Ayu, and telling her that she has many fans everywhere supporting her! Congrats to you guys, and I hope you had fun! XD

Tonight Ayu signed my laptop! And she put my name "Mat" on it!



She also signed a group pic that Brad printed for us! It was really nice of him. But instead of an arrow pointing to me, she made one pointing at Mannie! Haha, but she put my name too...

This is quite possibly the coolest thread I've ever seen on AHS. I am so. fricken. proud of you guys. :weep Dude, if Ayu ever comes to Chicago, I am THERE. :tired

Hey guys, mini report:
today we met Ayu at the studio and there was about ten of us. *waves hi to Josephine and Justin: Glad you guys got your items signed!! <3*

We met Stanley XD and Ayu signed as much as she could, she was in a rush to get to dinner and we took group shots. It was much colder than last night but still very very fun!

Omg she looks so gorgeous ♥ Thanks so much for sharing!!!

she looks gorgeous. I love her outfit and hair so much!

Josephine sent me a picture of Ayu signing my laptop! Perfect!

http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/phot...Tbrroi0%2F4%3D

That is awesome that she signed your laptop Mat! ^^
You guys are making me so excited about the thought of going on Saturday!

i hope you can make it! where are you at in california?

I feel overwhelmed with so much going on and how hard it is to keep up, haha. . .

cutieismylife - I'm SO JEALOUS!!!! i think from now on you will meet her everyday...and i think you will become the most closest fans...
have you talk with her? i mean a real talk

I live in Fresno, so about 4 hours north of LA.

I think that cutie is going to be Ayu's new favourite fan lol

Jorge, you got competition :D

Well, I do want to give her a letter somehow. Can anyone give the address to the hotel?

^
L'Ermitage Beverly Hills
9291 Burton Way
Beverly Hills, CA 90210

I keep looking up flights and everything to fly out and try to meet her but then I realize thatz a long way and a lot of money. with my luck, I would get there and she would be too busy to see anyone >.<
but then I think about how much of a once in a lifetime opportunity it is to meet her!
ugh! I really can't afford it tho >.<
if I did go, I would have to leave Tennessee for LA Sunday morning and fly back Monday afternoon!
I sent her a package Thurs. (Nov 18th) and it is supposed to be at her hotel by noon today (Nov 19, my bday!). inside is a letter, some cute sushi stationary, and a CD of me singing a little song I wrote and Hanabi, plus a pic of me holding the CD. I hope she listens to it and likes it! ^^

^I KNOOOOWW!!! ; ; I couldn't go anyway!!! Not with school still going! D:

I feel very happy for you guys!!

Oh, Dear US fans who went to meet Ayu,r u guys taken vids there??if so,can u guys plz upload it in YT?I'm dying to watch her speaks english =)

Thank you :D

I feel this way too!! Its like so much excitement.

I heard that there are fans at the hotel right now, but I'm not sure if Ayu is going to be able to do any meets because she hasn't said anything about it on her twitter, and it's very late. I hope they don't wait too long.

I will be going Friday, and unfortunately missing out on the weekend, but I do want to return to my hometown and pick up one special item for her to sign and thats all I would really want to be super duper happy! Although I already am :)

Just got back from one of the greatest days in my life!
I also went to see Ayu today.
Here's my account after she came out (it overshadowed what happened before), so, after she signed everyone's thing's, I gave her a gift and as I gave it to her she commented on how cold my hand was, so she grabbed it with both of hers and held it trying to make it warm several times (she is so sweet!).
And as we were forming to take the group pic, she pulled me close to her AND while we were taking pics she told me my hand was so cold again and she held it while we were taking the pics. As she was getting ready to leave she even hugged me (and someone else)!
Sorry if I'm sounding like a showoff (lol).
I'll never forget this day!

You were so lucky Melina!! <3 I was wondering what was in your bag, I bet it was a really awesome gift. And Ayu is very sweet.

I uploaded the video to TinyPic, I know I don't have superior skillz like Brad but here is what I have from my first night.

Ayu!

Note: It's in black and white, sorry guys my camera went all weird.

Wahh thanks so much guys for sharing those pics n vid!!!
ahh Ayu is sooo PRETTYY!!

That is so awesome, Melina!!! And a great pic to remember it by!!! >.< ah I am dying to meet Ayu~!!

Mannie is so hot omg.

All these stories are so amazing!! :D Thanks for representing us Americans so well.

You and me both! :'(

I hope you guys get to meet Ayu too! Don't lose hope!

She's right, don't lose hope, it can totally happen ^^ And I hope it will happen for you guys!

I hope so too! :) Someday, I will! (^o^)v

Ah, this thread makes me SO happy <3
Ayu is just so amazing person~
I'm happy for u guys~ I want to go to LA right noow..

Thanks for the video...
her english is so good...i can understand what she is saying...her speaking ability definitely improve a lot..
i think she is prepare for go international...
and it's really funny the "pause" moment, when nobody talking...hahaha...i think everyone including ayu is kinda nervous and happy in the same time

by the way, i feel suprised that so far nobody said how nice cutieismylife looks is...hahaha...everytime i see group pic, you always pop in my eyes, off course ayu will take my attention first, but after that you always come second...maybe because you are blond same as ayu..hahaha...

Have you guys asked her about a world tour lol?

How much pics you have together with Ayu?
I'm really envy. (-.-)

Oh good point. Hope someone asks this~ Or maybe we can all tweet her about it.

Haha. Her English is cute. >< Wish I had a car. @_@ Or money for gas. Or time. My life friggen sucks. Someone tell her to hold a concert in L.A.

I'm sitting in the lobby~ eating lunch.

I'm mostly just here to see if I can catch Stan and ask if she'll be recording later or if she'll be here. :)

^ Good luck! :)

^Nice~ ^^
Good luck to you today!

Thanks guys! For what it's worth...the food from their restaurant is BOMB.

Also, this is the best Arnold Palmer I've ever had.

^ hahahaha it should be bomb for how much they charge! XD I am not super rich but that drink I had (a sprite) was like 6 bucks!! O.o

but have fun and keep your eyes peeled for Rihanna, she was staying at that hotel as well so you never know ;-)

I keep waiting for someone awesome to walk by, lol...one of the voice actresses from Family Guy was in here talking to an agent but I don't really count her. :P

lol! How long are you staying here??

Here, meaning LA? Until Sunday morning...my flight leaves LAX at 11:30.

Ah...so hopefully I'll see you tonight with everyone else ^^ :)

which one? The girl from That 70's Show? Hey that would have been great for me, she's awesome. haha

Hey is anyone going to visit her tomorrow? 'Cause for sure I'm going.

No lol, I don't think so, I didn't actually recognize her but I heard her say, "I've gotta run, we've got Family Guy...err, The Cleveland Show this afternoon."

So I actually have no idea who it was. :P

I just met Stan! :luv2 I shook his hand and said, "If I ever need a bodyguard, I want him to be like you...but basically I just want to be carried down into Waimea Falls the way you carried Ayu down" and he laughed. :roflmao
