I go to London this weekend!
It's really crazy! But I don't see her in Paris 2 years ago, I take my chances!

You guys are lucky! Your countries are all very close n____n

If Ayu came to Vancouver, Canada, it's WAAYY on the other side of this country, it'd be impossible for me to go. Canada is very big XD

I wrote a message in to TEAMAyu, telling ayu that she has many fans all over Europe who are planning to fly to London to see her. I also asked how long she plans to stay in London. Wonder if the message will get through to her? ^^

Why am i not in london with my cousin?
Haiz

Are you all sure it's a good idea to follow her even in front of her hotel? I mean, you could already see her in front of the studio... Don't you want to let her be alone when she's going back to her hotel? I'm not sure it's a good idea or not?
In Paris it was a bit different because her hotel was the first place where people could see her (I wasn't there if you're wondering ^^).

misa chan! I'm also asking!!

We don't have to stand at both studio and hotel, but she will always be at her hotel in the morning or the evening. But we don't know if she'll stay in the studio a whole day. I'm sure she'll want to do some (expensive) shopping.
Hmmm, expensive shopping in London = Harrods... I wonder :)

no we're not going to stalk her :) (or maybe just a little)

Ayu really didn't expect that she would have so many fans around London. She was shocked that time when she first visited Hong Kong and saw how many people knew her! lol She is going to be amazed when hoards of us are camping outside the recording studio - crazy little foreigners who can barely speak her language lol!

oh i hope ayu can read this,cos this really important for her to know that everyone's very excited of what she's doing and her fans are everywhere in the world! :yes

ermm..it's ok to stalk ayu (but not too much,lol) at least she know she's very welcome there ;)

ayu,go to London again next year,i'll surely be there :P

i'm sooo waiting for the next TAmessage, hopefully she'll say how long she'll be there, i might be able to go if i can get a cheep price on the plane ticket!

LET'S STALKING AYU!

lol

aww too bad that I can't go to London now ;_; oh well takes a lot of pics if you catch Ayu :D
I'm so excited for the songs, I hope in a very good album this time!

thanks a lot for sharing

i0m planning with a friend to go the next weekend, I hope she wills till be there T___T

P.D: we are so crazy and my mum will kill me... XD

Haha, my mum loves it, she would come too if she could. she also likes ayumi ^^

When she went to Paris in '08, there were so many French fans standing outside her hotel at the beginning and end of each day. They even followed her to her shooting locations.

I think Ayu will be happy to see her international fans :) Especially when she realizes that they're not only from London / England, but from other parts of Europe as well.

I can't go but i am so jalous that other people can go
i have school:grumpy

I think Ayu looks so pretty in that picture! After seeing all those awful photoshopped crazy magazine shoots, it's nice to see her natural, and her face is still quite similar to her Depend on You era. Good stuff!

Hatix, do you come to London?
I see that you live in Belgium too!

what is a mom upset if you can see Ayu in person ;)

If I was there, I'll go, and I don't care if my mom don't tall me for a few days, anyways she still loves me and know that I'm a Ayu's fan :lech

I say... YOU MUST GO!! IS SO CLOSE!! *o*

Ohhhh. myyy. GOSH *girly tone*

She's only 3-4 hours away by car from where I live! :thud

*Goes to stalk Ayu *_____* *

>_>
<_<

*goes back to hiding* D:

I've been at the recording studio today at 14:00 and waited for 2 hours and it was worth it!!!!

She came out just before 16:00! I was to stressed to take a pic not to scare her away (I'm a big bloke) managed to speak with her (very good english afterall) got an autograph (she was stunned when she saw my NEXT LEVEL DVD :D) I asked her how long she will stay in London and we will have another 10 days to see her :D

I'm going back there tomorrow mornig after work @ 8:00am :D hope I will be able to see her and take a pic this time ;/

See you there :D

BTW: cars/driver were hired from www.londoncarhire.com (that what it had written on one of the vans that the staff used when they left)

Sorry for being a pain, as creepy as this may sound.. Which hotel is Ayu staying at? o.O... Maybe i skipped and missed it but yeah.. which hotel again? o_o or has it not been confirmed? =o

Thanks for post and translation :)! That's great she's recording in Metropolis ^^ Hope that british fans will find and meet with her :) (I'm so jealous xD)
Aww, she looks so fine without makeup *.* (I wish of completely natural photobook someday)

If I go, then I would take all my Ayu cd's with me to have it signed :D

You won't be alone outside in the cold :)

Ahh, so good! I hope she reads it :thud

Lucky you. My mom and dad don't like Asian music, but they encouraged me to go :yes

I'm coming too next week. I still have exams, so I can't go until next week Thursday. But I'm waiting for more news to make plans :yes

I have a question...
are there Fans to meet and meet Ayu in London???
My friend is in London too and would organisation a sign for me^^"
plz if it okay, pm me


sry for my really bad english >.<

Awesome! :D Do take pics next time.

Maybe a new thread should be created for fans meeting her in London, since it'll probably get buried in here?

The Metropolis, right! Awesome! Do you think she'll be recording on a Saturday? She's a workaholic so I'm hopeful!

I might have to linger outside it all day, and do a little bit of hotel stalking also, any news on that front yet?

You know, I'm willing to bet she might blog about the encounters.

Someone might end up on ayu's DIARY, hahaha.

OMG!!!!!! right now I envy you so muuuuchhhhhh :D

so she will stay in London until end of this month right?
good luck for tomorrow again...
please ask her what Hotel is staying :D

aw you're soo lucky *_*

KYAAAAAA!! definetly going! with a friend, next weekend! 10 days more right? YEAH!!
yhank you so much cronopl!!!

I'm going, see ayu!!!

should we make a thread to talk about meet up all together there??

Tell her loads of fans from all over Europe would love to see her perform in O2 arena ;]

Now THIS is what I call info, right from her mouth!!! You're so lucky you were already there!
10 more days, that means until Sunday next week. I think I want to go from friday till sunday (next week). Arriving friday evening, and then at the studio early saturday ;p (or the hotel, if we know it by then). Hmm, I need to find something good to sign (something signable from her concerts maybe... an uchiwa or concert pamplet, but that's kinda large). (kyaaa, I'm getting very excited here ^^ I want to go as quickly as possible, dilemma.............)

@CeReSu
Yes, I'm from Belgium too (Antwerp), and YUIAyuNamieUtada too.

OMG!!!!

Too bad I wont be in London until Utada's concert =(

I think will go next weekend too... haha!
then we should know already what hotel is staying (*_*)

ahhh I wanna be there now!!!!!! cronopl take me with you PLZ xDD
please Ayu wait for us :D

Aww.... that's awesome.... I'm about to cry, because I feel helpless, first Utada in London and now this, I know that Ayu is so near (2 h by flight?) and I can't meet her because I'm just 16... damn it.

oh, pelase we have to make a thread so that we can talk about hours of meeting there!! and since a lot of people will be there the next weekend... could we wait until then to give her the book?? *-*

Ok.. So heres the deal... *finds a big bloke and guesses thats cronopl and then follows him around* :D xD~
haha..

I guess i'll try get to the studio around 2pm ish too :) maybe a little earlier... Hope theres some places to eat around that area :x..

Think i need to make a big sign with just "AHS" on it so everyone from this forums can meet and stand there >.> lol.. xD~

You know, isn't it possible for someone to leave the book at Metropolis and have them give it to Ayu...?

That could be a last resort...

^but it would be better to give her in person ^^ you knwo.. se her face.. record it ^^

The book would first have to arrive to UK and once it arrives I hope there will be no other problems preventing it to get where it's meant to.

Woaw you're so lucky!!!!

Please do take pictures next time n______n

Have you seen the thread for the fanbook we're trying to make? We hope someone in London can hand it over to her!!!

yeah, good point!

anyway, I still have not booked my flights but I'm gonna to make it asap, I'll arrive Gatwick around 5pm next Friday, so maybe I'll go directly by subway to her Hotel (if we know it by then) or recording studios (even before gonna to do check-in in my Hostel) xD lol

WE'RE CRAZY!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD!!!

HOW IS SHE IN PERSON?!!!!

GIVE US A DETAILED IMPRESSION, C'MON!!!!!

WAS SHE NICE? TELL US MOOOOOOOORE XDDDD

As her about a world tour xD

OH GOSH! You're so lucky!

Im really rooting on the A WORLD book we are making now and give it to her as soon as possible!!!

Hey cronopl... I’m actually little curious when you were around the Metropolis Studio... I wanted to ask… When you were there, was there a lot of people there too? I mean..as many as we see on videos in like HongKong (youtube) or did you expect more? Was there a lot of pushing and nudging going on too? xD… But yeah… very lucky :). Hope you can answer my question xD.

It sucks that I couldn't go for the hours of a bus/train T_T I didn't want to miss this. I'm sad right now.

PLEASE, SAY HER THAT SHE HAVE A LOT OF FANS THAT CAN'T GO TO SEE HER

Lucky! 10 more days....mmmhh... I wanna go. And then, on the other hand, I don't want to.
Just checked some flights - so expensive.

Anyway you're really lucky. I'm looking forward to more I-met-Ayu-Stories.

Well, I was the only one person there!

She was coming my way with camera man in front and she was pulling funy faces <cute> I did forgot about the camera (and I think that would be rude in a way) so when she was close I said "Ayu thanks for coming to London" I then asked her to sign my NEXT LEVEL booklet (she was supprised about this) she was very nice calm and polite (I did not look as a fan thou as was ready to go to work) I asked her how long she will stay and found out that it will be 10 days. I said I'm glad because there is many European fans coming to London this weekend so please expect them soon :D which she smiled said thank you made a hand shake and left :D

I was scared like hell! I was probably all shaking and my voice was crashing :D


but damn I will not be able to be there in the morning as my shifts has bben changed now and Im starting at 8am <damn>

Lets meet up on saturday and Sunday somewhere. I want to meet you all !!!!

oh you are so lucky!!!I envy you!!
I just moved from germany to japan so it is kind of funny...she is running away from me!^^

Just in case, if someone give her something with this forum here we should erase all those writtings like "oh this song is so horror" ore "Ayu looks ugly" ore something like that because I don`t want her to read this kind of message!^^
(just kidding)^^
I wish you guys all luck that you can see Ayu!!!Ganbatte!!^^

Only one there?! Oh my thats soo lucky :)

But like you mentioned...I would love to meet everyone here and would be awesome if we could have a group photo with everyone in this forum xD~ that would be awesome too haha..

This saturday.. around 1pm-2pm for me I'll be at the studio :)

Like i said before.. *finds a big bloke and expects thats Cronopl* xD lmao

cool thanks~

damn it!!!!!!!
my passport expired in november!!!!!!! no way to renew it in time to go see Ayu! :cry
hope you all will see her and represent us Euro Fans well!!! :luv2

This are the only 2 pics I took that time :D


Ayu's driver and her limo!

and the autograph :D

cronopl, you are soooooo lucky! when i saw ayu in person...there were too many screaming girls around. it was impossible to talk to her. you must be the happiest guy on the planet!! hehe even if i were alone with her, idk if i'd be able to speak. i cried like a little girl when i saw her. HAHAHA

OMG! cronopl you are so lucky, when i met her in person at shanghai, there is too many people too...so i just saw her in the flash...so lucky that you can talk with her..
by the way...how is her hair style right now? and what do you think of her looks? when i see her, i just feel, that i met a goddess...haha...she is just PERFECT
good luck to all european ayu fans!!! make some noise there!!! hahaha...please post some pics and video

I'm a big boy and big boys don't cry <lie>

I feel like crying and I didn't even meet her! LOL.

I seriously could picture me fainting if I was ever given the opportunity to meet her lol.

^ me too!!!! i think i'd have a panic attack if i met her alone.

Me be there :D

good night for now and gambatte to all fans for tomorrow :D

Let us know what you achieved :D

cronopl no offense... but ... I HATE YOU! :dead2 :thud
:roflmao ok, don't hate you, or do i? i don't know xD i wanna be you atm!!!

cronopl would u like to do an exchanged life with me....
LOL.......

the upside down ayu looks so awsome...

soooo kawaiiiiii.....she looks like a junior/senior high school girl....
^^,

now we can look at 5km radius of hotels around the studio to find her! hehe...

Awww cronopl you are so lucky!!! What did she write under her signature?

lol I can't imagine meeting her. Sure, I've been to her concerts and freaked out when she waved / looked at me, and of course I cried, but meeting her... I'd want to hug her. lol.

Thanks for the post and translation

I like how she looks naturally. She looks adoarable especially with the pillow marks.

You're pretty lucky to meet her. You get to shake her hand too, I'm so jealous.

Seems like she's a real down-to-earth person.

exactly....next step for sure

OMG cronopl you are the luckiest ayufan!!!!

could even shake hand with ayu!!!! i would cry out if i were you!!!!

please update us, Euro-ayufans~

After seeing a bunch of her autographs, it seems like it's "2010"...

The result of practicing speed-autographing for CDL?

^ Lady GaGa frequently goes on her fansite "Gagadaily" (she has said that she does) and they have downloads, yet she has not mentioned it and she loves the site even still ... no necessarily that's not true.

^ Yes but LadyGaga's recording company is now Avex.

Avex has been known to literally erase everything of Ayu on websites that are not related to them.... Remember when they kept deleting all the PVs on YouTube? lol

Lady Gaga doesn't care about the money. Avex.... xD;

hm, is it risky to copy and paste the post Ayu made in the TA blog?
As you can easily imagine, one of the rules of TA is not to leak TA limited information or something like that.

would it be safer if we start this kind of thread in the Ayu Chat-Room (because you need to login)? Being a new member here, I'm just curious how this forum has been managed. :yconfused

I don't believe it is, considering that it's been done for the past few years (since she's been blogging, basically...) without much incident.

About the Lady GaGa thing, she was pissed off about people leaking her music videos, I believe.

I don't think AHS really has much to worry about, as forums like AyuChina have actually been captured on video (their goods, pamphlets, and etc. anyway) at tours and I don't think anyone's really gotten on their case for downloads and etc.

about the Lady GaGa thing...i don't think she's exactly "happy" about it either. i remember seeing a really angry tweet from her before. she was mad that people were leaking her songs.

If I remember correctly, it was a music video. Paparazzi.

That's nice to hear. Thanks! :yes Now I can keep enjoying this forum without being anxious. (though, as a japanese TA member, i will refrain from copying ayu's original japanese text.)

I think that's what might get us in trouble... but sometimes the entries find their way to 2ch and are posted for everyone to see as well, so it's not that big of a deal, I guess. She doesn't seem to be the type that would quit blogging over that anyway.

But Avex doesn't have any jurisdiction in the US? I read that a lot of times posted by other members as to why they can't shut down AHS

And I think Avex probably know about AHS already....just type in "Ayumi Hamasaki" and we're the 5th result...

Right. I don't think it would be a big deal for this forum.
I'm just worried about a small possibility that Avex would get someone out of TA if they find the guy leaking the TA info, and i just want to keep myself a "model student" type member, haha.:innocent

lol...you ain't kiddiing....

Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai Forum
Latest information, images, downloads, and a place to meet Ayumi fans.
www.ahsforum.com/ - Similar

They probably type in 浜崎あゆみ though...? In which case, we don't exist lol. I wouldn't be too worried about it either way.

omg!! u guys are soooo lucky!!!

OMG! i'm just like others, :banana1 i cant stop from reading this again and again as i can imagine your short conversation with Ayu, you're the luccccckkkiesst guy in the planet :thud

if it was me,i must got a heart attack when i see her and my hand going to tremble and cold when i shake hand with Ayu :faint :D

good luck to you guys, pleaasse give us more info and pics :yes

Oh wow you are really such a lucky person!
London isn't so far away from me (living in Germany) I wish I could go and see her, too... :(
But I can't since I have school and I am saving up for visiting AT10, so..
But it would be awesome if you could take a picture if you are to see her again and OMG you talked to her! *just realizing XD*
I am so happy for you.. and for all the others here in the forum who are going there in order to see her.. :yes
Good luck everyone!

.... but I am still jealous :P

OMG!! I want to go to London right now~~~ I want to see her so badly.

don't say me that XDDD I have my youtube account with the clips of TA website animation since NEXT LEVEL theme XDDD

heading to London... still in Barcelona though!!

O M G

cronopl is not just lucky, he's HERO, he actually have guts to speak with her like a human being. i think i would just start to scream and shake. :(

cronopl i admire you!!!

God D: I envy you so much.

And Hey everyone I'm new xD

cronopl, you actually got to talk to her and shake her hand :thud
that is the type of stuff I dream about and then wake up and am sad it isn't real :(
I'm sooo jealous.

haha, I guess Avex thinks you are OK because you are promoting ayu overseas, especially in Spain. :rolleyes (<- sarcasm to Avex)

Now there's a new post by Ayu with some pics of her hotel!!
Misa-chan has made a new thread already.

I can imagine that. I don't know, I'm already checking flights and trains and so, but on the other hand, I just cannot imagine meeting Ayu. I don't know if I should. I'm kind of scared, even though she is nice. I probably wouldn't be able to talk to her. *dilemma*

But it's good that you did, you can treasure that moment forever!

Even if you can't speak, I'm sure just looking at her from a distance of 1-2m is worth it IMO!! It'll definitely be something I'll remember for the rest of my life if I ever had that kinda chance ^^

Oh wow she's only 20 mins drive away from me. Maybe I'll go see her too

thanks for the post and the Translation

but i can't see the pics...>"<

Can a fan living in London contact me ? I booked my flight and hotel room but I don't know the city well and it would be nice if I could meet some fans there !

Don't be scared I won't eat you =)

really cool that someone got to meet her :D i wish everyone heading there the best of luck for their chances too!

Gosh, I'm so jealous of you guys (especially cronopl, you lucky..uhm no luckiest Ayu fan ever :thud)

My older sis lives in London and I can't go to there right now >_< I'll try to convince her to stalk Ayu for me XDD
