LOL what if they play the Slt PV and Gaga goes

"OMG THAT WAS MY VIDEO!!! :gnash"

lol kidding but it'll be interesting. i'll be looking forward to this episode!

omg...this should be interesting XDD

OMG Ayu & Gaga please cover each other's poker face!!!! :laugh

YAY!!! another music station performance..
LOL...gaga and ayu in the same show...that's cool...

is she going to perform microphone again? i hope not...sexy little things will be great, but i don't think that song fit the tv performance...maybe Don't Look Back will be a perfect choice

I think it'll probably be Microphone again.

Small chance it'll be another song, but... Microphone is the lead "single/song" off of this album...

another live? so that makes 4 tv lives:heart
i'm so so so happy <3

yeah...Microphone is fine too...she sings that song amazingly...

still crossing finger for music fighter and CDTV performance...
i want her to appear on SMAP X SMAP as well...it's been a while..

^ MUSIC FIGHTER ended on 3/26. SMAPxSMAP would be cool, but the show is on hiatus this month, members have a busy filming schedule at the moment (especially Kimutaku). Not that it would happen anyway, because Ayu never seem to attend variety or talk shows anymore. She has not done any since the A BEST 2 promotion. :(

Now THIS I gotta see~

Yay!! Another Music Station performance. =D

She was a guest at Shin Domoto Kyoudai for Together When... promo.

Ayu vs Gaga :laugh

that's really interesting,wonder if Gaga knows about Ayu's Poker Face :D

omg i'm going to watch gaga live even i dont like her :P

keyhole tv please does a good job this time :dead2

I am actually hoping we'll get something else this time, but you are prolly right ^^

Ah actually GaGa is going to be meeting Ayu, the most famous Asian artist who has sold more than 70 million cds across Asia and who has been in the business for 12 years.

yay~~!!! Ayu and Gaga!!! <3333

She already did Microphone on Music Station though :( I really hope it's something else :D Last Links would be cool, it's got a tie-in too

Gaga and Ayu in one programme... Cool story bro.:D
*prays for other song than Microphone but having no doubt it won't be*

ooo Ayu and Perfume on the same MS!!! Nice!!

wow Lady Gaga and Ayu in the same show.
I can't wait to see this :lech (I'm hoping for a SLT performance plz Ayu >_<)

i'm glad ayumi will be on MUSIC STATION again! can't wait! :D

Back in the days of No way to say, fairyland, or even BLUE BIRD, she'd do the exact same song 2 or even 3 times... haha.

HAhaha that would be a fun show to watch.

They probably throw perfume in the middle. and yay for perfume too =D

next friday :(

those are really only single Aside singles, so... why are they being compared to promoting an album that would have 15 songs :l?

The multiple appearances on MUSIC STATION are what I'm comparing.

Usually she performs only one song from a single/album even if she's appearing multiple times on a show like MS.

Cases where this DIDN'T happen were Startin'/Born To Be... and a few other occasions I can't remember off the top of my head. (Memorial address / part of Me come to mind too) Last time she did multiple album tracks live was Secret with 1 LOVE and JEWEL.

Well, that's going to be quite interesting next week... We still have MJ and Hey!x3 to do before this...

And apparently this is a day before she still has more concerts in the tour - but the tour starts tomorrow...

By the way, what happened to Music Fighter? And what show will replace it? First AX Music TV, then Music Fighter, now what's next?

Music Fighter simply got canceled/ended.

It won't be replaced with another music show. I think some JE-variety show replaced it...

Did someoen explain the twitter thing?

in TA they posted that in twitter we can ask questions doing: #ymu_ayu +question

they will select some and ask them to ayu in the yahoo online interview the 14th at 9pm Japan time here: http://event.music.yahoo.co.jp/hamasaki/ ^^

wow.. whe'll be at TOKYO FM "4 ROOMS" and after that the yahoo interview!


EDIT: AH! a-nation shows announced there's 6 (for now...) and ayu will be appearinng in them all.. the first is teh 7th of August T____T ayuu... you're crazy!

Ayu will be at all dates for a-nation '10.

a okay... the questions are on that site, they will air it live and wt the same time people will be able to post things, and maybe they read something?? oke oke

The multiple appearances on MUSIC STATION have been a while huh? :P I'm quite excited. It's probably because this time was a special though. She hasn't gone on normal episodes of MUSIC STATION for consecutive weeks with the same song since HEAVEN (I think).

Which TV shows are left that she usually appears on? I feel like a lot of her normal TV shows have been canceled :O

CDTV is the only other one, I think.

gaga + ayu=:heart

Im NOT sure if that was already posted here but AYU appears in FRIDAY magazine, in stores from yesterday, 4 full color pages with lovely photos taken in London by ND CHOW, title is "Muse in London"

Usually a spread in FRIDAY is a bad thing, haha.

http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/9...pic2010034.jpg

~MUSE OF LONDON~

Why, is FRIDAY some sort of tabloid?

Yes. They previously outed Ai Kago and various other idols' relationships / alcohol consumption / smoking habits and etc. haha.

Hmm, I really want to see that. I wonder why nobody scanned it yet.

identity, it just came out... time to check the blogs! Haha.

This is all I found. Maybe someone in Japan can go look?

Ooo. tabloid..o dear..what now.

Well, they have photo spreads every so often.

This seems like it's just a spread of photos, haha. It's a 5 page long spread.

Seems like they're going to talk about Ayu and her chaku uta (the brand new medium ballad?) on Sunday?

It's on bayFM.

I've found Ayu's Bea's UP magazine cover, I believe!
http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/...4L._SS500_.jpg
:yes
enjoy! Gorgeous cover, IMO...:luv2
It was updated here:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/beas-%E3%83%...0872290&sr=1-1


ALSO... I searched for both the 2010 05 editions of Sweet and Scawaii that Ayu should appear on, in amazon.co.jp... the covers are up, but they are NOT ayu.
Sweet (2010 05) http://www.amazon.co.jp/sweet-%E3%82...0872628&sr=1-1
Scawaii (2010 05)http://www.amazon.co.jp/Scawaii-%E3%...0872711&sr=1-1
A little confused about that... I wonder why neither are Ayu... o_o

lol pretty cute, she looks like 10 years old though haha. I'm looking forward to the inside pics

She will be appearing next month. The issues are out in May.

She's so HBIC in that cover shot.

HBIC?
Ohh... I see, so we should really be looking for the 06...? Because May is 05.
Although the first post says "05/datehere" for Scawaii and Sweet, so I'm confused. :tipsy

Bea's UP 2010 06:
http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/...4L._SS500_.jpg

Sweet 2010 06: not listed.

Scawaii 2010 06: not listed.

EDIT: sorry about that Scawaii magazine cover... accidently posted Scawaii 2009 06. It's not Ayu.

dear lord tell me there has been some kind of tragic mix up and that this is not Ayu

^not...that's definitely not ayu...

i love Bea's up cover...innocent but mature

EDIT: just realized I posted a 2009 06 Scawaii... really sorry, I'm editing my posts now. :thud

That's not ayu on the Scawaii cover. Compare the nose, eyebrows, hair color, body type, etc.

zellyx...

Ayu isn't appearing on Sweet or SCawaii for another month.

Her issues are coming out in MAY.

5.7 「S Cawaii!」 NEW!
5.12 「sweet」 NEW!

We already know how her shoots are, and they aren't here, haha.

that would be the Scawaii after this one. Note the "6" on the cover indicating that it's the June issue that will come out in May :l

This case seems like Ayu won't be the cover girl or something.

http://www.e-hon.ne.jp/bec/SA/Detail...=101&Sza_id=MM

Strange.

Anyways, the cover girl's name is on that cover and it definitely does not say Ayu's name, haha.

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9660/covergirl.png

Something Chinatsu.

still the Bea's Up cover is kinda cute... can't wait for scans!

LOLTHANKGOD

and I didn't know that about Japanese magazines, I thought they were only a month ahead, my mistake

I think I'm just very mixed up.
I understand that issues are coming out in May, and the month is 05 for May. That's why when I looked up the issues for S Cawaii and Sweet, I was completely lost because the 2010 05 issues didn't have Ayu on the cover. :thud
Thank you so much for clearing it up~! haha, you're always the master at information about Ayu. I have no idea what would happen to AHS if you weren't here to distribute things. (:

ohh...
It all makes sense now!
thank you, GRACE! :love
Well that explains my 05/May issue confusion... :tipsy

I'm seriously really confused about this.

Ayu's not on the cover and her name is NOWHERE to be found on the magazine cover.

So wtf? That is supposed to be the issue she's in...

WHERE'S AYU?

No, I was wrong, th corrected me :D Ayu will be on the 07/July issue released in May, for Sweet and SCawaii.

:D

EDIT: dammit now I'm confused, we're all confused wtf is going on :(:(:(

That is REALLY, REALLY strange...
:shakehead
What source told you (or whoever informed you) about her appearing in the mag?
o_o I don't understand why she wouldn't be on the cover. Hasn't she always been on the cover of (Vivi/S Cawaii/Sweet/UP etc) when she appears?

Good lord, JULY issue released in May?
wow... that's way ahead, I wonder how that happened!
Thank you~ (:

No, it was correct. AYU WILL BE ON THE JUNE ISSUE.

zellyx, you completely forgot to look at the YEAR when you posted the cover.

That was the June 2009 as in TWO THOUSAND NINE issue of SCawaii.

I was like : WTF.

Problem solved!

I was wondering why the cover was out so "early" when it actually isn't out at all.

:thud
Yeah, I realized that myself about 5mins after I posted that SCawaii issue... then said that I was looking at the 2009 by accident and deleted my posts, but left that edit. :innocent
I really wanted to clear things up...
yeah, it's almost 1am and I'm exhausted, that's probably part of the problem.
Sorry about that! :weep

So she'll be on the JUNE issue that comes out in May? This is all very confusing...

Yes.

ViVi is the only magazine that does the two months things for whatever reason. I suppose it's because they release a week before the month ends usually...

Hmm... interesting that ViVi does that!
Well that disaster is a sure sign I need sleep, so I'm going to bed now! :yes
Thank you for the info/help/corrections, TH. :shake:

There is a new show... ハッピーMusic. ;) I haven't watched it yet, but it is similar format to MUSIC FIGHTER.

http://www.ntv.co.jp/happy-music/

Happy Music? This is news to me, haha.

Maybe she'll appear during the next release.

haiz looks like i'll be waking up at 830am tomorrow to listen and try to guess what they will be talking about

Happy Music ?
I didn't know that lol thanks

Hm, Happy Music? Hopefully she'll appear on it next time around :).

Do not forget HEY!x3 tomorrow, airs 20:00 ~ 20:54 JST on Fuji TV.

Yes, I will encode Ayu's part.

I just got off from Music Japan - Ayu was there a minute ago!!! I was using KeyHoleTV, of course, but this is NHK - could that tattoo be covered again, as it happened on the 59th Kouhaku, all because NHK is public television?

Anyways, I was using KeyHoleTV, and I can't really determine how she did - but at a time that Ayu's currently busy in progress of another Arena Tour 2010 concert at Saitama...

AND I DID NOT PUT SCREENCAPS! We'll just have to wait for a higher-quality version... (Right now SCANDAL's learning how to dance!?)

Yeah, we should NOT forget about that...

Ayu sounded sick on Music Japan, but it was a nice performance.

(THIS PERFORMANCE WAS RECORDED A WEEK AGO)

She looked AMAZING, but she kinda stumbled during the song at some points.

I saw it on keyhole too.. I loved her hair and the stage but I think she sounded kind of sick. Her vocals didn't really sound that bad to me but it sounded like she had a runny nose or something.

A week ago? But how come she sounded kind of sick?

^ What song did she perform??

Microphone

argh.i forget to watch music japan!!!!!T_T

She probably had a bit of a cold at the time of the taping.

If that's the case, then HEY!HEY!HEY! will sound similar since she recorded it after MJ.

Music Japan,did i missed it?? TT_TT

Yeah, I hope someone will upload it soon!

i thought japan time 6.10pm is malaysia time 7.10pm.i forget we are 1 hr behind them XDXDXD

what time is Music Japan and which channel??

6.10pm at NHK

^
it's finished already i think~
it's already 7.30 PM in my country..
somebody must have had the file soon!

Yeah can't wait to see it! :D

lol it should be 5.10 pm here in Malaysia :D

i'm busy this weekend and cant watch it :dead2 cant wait for someone to upload it here~

oh,ayuworld.if you have astro,you can watch it now.its airing music japan now

Here some screencaps of today's Music Japan :)

OMG Her hair is like PV. Love it!!! *__*

wow.nice!the hair is cool.hopefully someone will upload the video tomorrow XD

The performance is up on jpopsuki ^^

yea it's up on Jpopsuki..
hikss..but it's kind of slow T__T
can't wait!

Her tattoo was shown actually - don't know why NHK just let it go, and/or maybe because it's pre-recorded..

her hair is GORGEOUS!

i've watched the live perf at Music Japan~
it's AWESOMEE..
her vocal is great~
can't wait for next week's MuSta!

I loved the Music Japan performance!!!
Her vocals were so powerful!!!
And I loved her hair, she looked fierce!!

damn! i'm at the college so no astro :dead2

so you watch Ayu on our local tv? so lucky :thud

Wow, it must have been the LQ that made her sound sick to me, in the HQ file she sounds really great and not sick at all. Awesome!

Oh my. It looks like Ayu might appear on Waratte Iitomo?
