she just updated TA

all the direct flights to japan yesterday sold out apparently

She's been without sleeping and even eating :thud she collapsed

And her cold is not better :no


But she says she's not giving up

^ oh no :thud thank u for sharing this info

haishh sigh.. i hope miracle will happen.. hmmm~
i hope maybe they'll manage something like LIVE from a studio in US?
lols..i know it sounds silly..

No, MSta starts at 7pm for this week, not 8pm.

Oh no... That's not looking good - or actually double trouble...

Now, based on the flights that are flying out of New York to Tokyo (Narita at this point; Haneda is not served as of today), here's what I've got:

• AA (American Airlines): AA167, JFK (John F. Kennedy)-NRT (777-200ER) (codeshare with JAL as JL7005) (already departed; Ayu's definitely NOT flying this today); departs 8:10 AM (today was 9:07), arrives 3:25 PM
• Continental: CO9, EWR (Newark)-NRT (777-200ER); departs 11:05 AM, arrives 1:55 PM
• ANA: NH9, JFK-NRT (777-300ER) (codeshare with United as UA9734 and Continental's CO9734); departs 12:30 PM, arrives 3:25 PM
• Delta: DL173, JFK-NRT (747-400); departs 1:55 PM, arrives 4:50 PM)
• JAL: JL5, JFK-NRT (777-300ER) (codeshare with AA5819); departs 1:15 PM, arrives 4:25 PM

may be she'll perform next week? anyway everything's turned out bad, cause MSta now have to find another artist to perform instead of ayu, plus tomorrow there will be people who'll be really upset to know ayu won't appear :( at least we know what's going on..

With this Internet stuff, now we can see what's going on with all kinds of celebrities around the world - even Ayu...

For sure, if she wants to go to MSta tomorrow, she has got to fly to Tokyo TODAY. If not, that window's closed, for good.

^ she also feels very bad, the flu got worse.. even if she arrives in Japan tomorrow, I doubt she'll perform :rolleyes

dammit, there's only 2 TV lives supporting FIVE and the second one is gonna be canceled >____<

I didn't expect her health condition to be so bad :( Poor ayu. I rather see her miss MSta and fly whenever instead of hurrying and having too much stress while being sick.

If she has a cold... Will she be able to sing, even if come in time?

I wonder if there were economy class tickets, would she buy them? Usually she doesn't fly among common people, of course, she uses only business class.. But this time would she break the rule and buy usual ticket.. I guess no.. So business class must be all sold out while economy could still be available

I think the problem is that it's not just her. She has to get her team back to Japan as well. Am thinking the problem with flights is that there's no more planes with seats that can carry whoever she needs back in time...

i was wondering that too :\\

yea her staff is a lot..and probably there are not enough seats for all the staff.

If she is sick she shouldn't attend. I so wanted to see her, but ther is nompoint in performing in a bad way

Normally the business class tickets are less likely to be sold out. I don't get it. She doesn't have to fly non-stop. Just take a plane to any other airport that flies to Japan and then change planes there. I just cannot believe that this is so hard and there is no seat available at all. I don't know this whole story makes Ayu's staff look incompetent.

I think it's also because she has a sizable staff to worry about too.

It probably wouldn't be a problem if it was just her and maybe one other person, but there's a bunch of people that she needs in Japan with her in the states right now.

Yes, I agree. :yes

We have to consider Ayu's bodyguards, and after all, it seems one is NOT enough...

(If Ayu does NOT appear on MSta tomorrow (already today in Japan; last edited 5:49 AM JST), I might (but not definitely) NOT download the entire MSta special out of JPopsuki after all...)

It seems though ayu is still not giving up. I just hope she will get better soon ><

oh I see, she's got to find seats for staff too... I've never thought before that she used usual flights :/ she really needs to buy a plane :)

considering she tweeted 4 hours ago last time and there's 13 hours left till MSta, it seems like she won't appear most likely :(

This isn't good at all....
