I hope she doesn't mind we send her messages in english though....

i'm gonna follow her right now!!!

I wonder how she is reacting in front of her laptop XD crying? laughing? simply happy???
@Neffiline I think she is happy for every message she is recieving right now! ^^ must be a lot hahahaahha

^nah~ She'll say "wtf?!" Why there's so many ppl tweeting at me at this hour? :D LOL

She's back -
ジャッキー、まだ起きてたんだぁ！RT @GUTS_RUSH: @ayu_19980408 すんませんayu 、出来たら日本語でお願いしますですm(_ _)mかおもじ

MISA CHAAAAAN!!! ^^ We need you...-_-translation pleeeeas!^^

Hmmm... I asked her a question too.


I wonder if she tweets from her laptop or from her mobile~~~

Hello Brazil!wanna go there someday!!luv...RT @lucianamiho: @ayu_19980408 gomen ne, for not type in japanese. please say hello to Brazil! ☆

She's replying to lots of them! Woaw +w+ Ayu is so cool!!!

I think its from her mobile, cuase she was following this:
http://www.echofon.com/
and app for iphone. Like when you join some pages you automatically follow them.



OH NOEWS she reply to brazil T_T

いやむしろ日本語ばかり話してますー。もち。RT @kubitan: @ayu_19980408 こんばんは(^O^)/英語以外は話せないんすか？笑 1 minute ago via Echofon

ぱぴさん！RT @junchonchan: @ayu_19980408 あゆちゃん��写真はピノさん？ぱぴこさん？��

looks like she's enjoying twitter right now :D

So, it's Papiko as profile picture :D

I think she's enjoying it very much indeed n_____n so much fun!!!~~~

Perhaps everyone should tweet http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/ to her? lol

ROFL!!!!!!!!

She's going crazy on it xD..replying a lot =o!

i think a sticky for her tweets would be great and organized. :yes

she hasn't answered me though. *sigh*

慣れてないから、めっちゃ流れていくー！ついていけてないけど、大丈夫かねっ？笑 RT @ken____ken: みんな生中継のように見てますよ！ RT @ayu_19980408 ジャッキー、まだ起きてたんだぁ！@GUTS_RUSH: @ayu_19980408 すんませんayu

No worries! :) She hasn't replied to me either! :P

I spamming her like crazy! but no replies!!! Grr....

I don't think she will be able to reply to every one... if she has 13K followers, and lots of us are tweeting her, it will take all night to answer everyone n____n''

But I hope she ever read my tweet although not replying it :)

yeah Ayuholiiiics XD

I think she's slowing down..

^really? to me it looks like she's speeding up! xD

I think its impossible for her to reply everyone. She didn't reply mine but I'm happy she's replying to some people.

She has 15k followers now xD

Even more followers!!!!!

Probably people in Japan that don't want to pay for TA as well... and TA members too... Not just international fans. EVERYONE! Lol

Oh, haha. she's speeding.. hoo.. so fast!!

someone asked about Korea and she replied in english finally!

I love Korea!!RT @saikounoJ: @ayu_19980408 ayu.. you don't like korea? T_T If you don't come to Korea, I'll go to Japan!!! someday...T_T

btw, thanks to ayu i discovered Echofan (a twitter app) and it's so convenient!

I noticed that a lot of Japanese Tohoshinki fans are following her too :yes Probably both fan of her and THSK; like me :)

And yes, she is speeding up :laugh She is answering Japanese tweets since Japanese fans complained about her writing in English xD

Don't be disheartened if Ayu doesnt reply to your tweets, remember how busy she is and how many followers she has that could be tweeting her too. Plus looking at other famous peoples twitters, they don't really reply to anyone at all so it's good that Ayu is replying to the few that she can now.

^yeah that's true. i wonder if this is will be a regular thing. her replying to so many fans.

i'm noticing she keeps replying to that GUTS_RUSH person. o_0 alot.

hopefully its not the kind of thing where shes really into it at first and then just stops, some people do that :( but im so glad she is doing it now either way lol ^_^

omg my timeline is full with ayu's tweets. :(

she replied you YUIAyuNamieUtada :D

Yuiayunamieutada! ayu replied yours!

Oh,I remember that pic!n I have same pics at that cold night!RT @YUIAyuNamieUtad: @ayu_19980408 Of course, you like Korea xD You like Tohosh

Oh oh!

going to toilet Ayu? :D

Oh, how can we know whether someone is online or not?

i wonder what pic does she talk about?

was she talking about London?

http://twitpic.com/1h3bru
http://twitpic.com/1fr0zq
http://twitter.com/YUIAyuNamieUtad

One of those two I think

I posted a pic from London: http://twitpic.com/1h3bru
But she didn't comment. Then I tweeted: "Of course, you like Korea xD You like Tohoshinki too ^_~" Then she commented :laugh

HAHA. AYu scolding us for disturbing her night! ahah

ow.. she sleeps. And I'm gonna sleep and dreaming about this. Good night!

I sent her a message but I just checked the time in Japan. I doubt she'll reply D: I'll try and send her one as often as I can!!! Nothing too stalker-ish though hahahaha.

Some people got saltlkin' mode xD haha I just give up! and Said "take care" haha maybe in the future I'll try n_n

For now is just fun sayin hi!

She's still online even if it's so early in the morning, ahahaha.
It's so nice to read these messages, and she also updated TA!

she replied to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll check it!RT @jeremy_diaz: @ayu_19980408 have you read all the letters from the "A WORLD is ONE" book? mine was in there!

Why does she put RT at the end???

"a world is one"
:luv2
oh my gosh... I must follow her...!

So, she has replied to cronopl, AyUmIXx, me and jean-baptiste from AHS :D
She also answered Ayusphere, the French fans from London and Paris :yes

^u are so lucky lizzy!!! :( i'd be jumping and screaming if she reply to me :laugh

it automatically puts that because she's retweeting someone. :yes

I joined twitter just to follow her LOL It's exciting :D

Well, I forgot to eat :laugh Going to eat now.. almost 10PM :laugh

But I hope she stops tweeting now and goes to sleep.. it's almost 5AM in Japan :thud

Its amazing :D

Screen name?

Not bad:

46 tweets after one evening
16,354 followers > 6,354 joined after her first tweet :)

^i guess cause everyone was sure that was the real one. xD

I posted it in the twitter thread here lol

We have a twitter thread? lol. I'll go check.

Wow, what an explosion, haha.

You type in the box at the top - "@ayu_19980408 -insert message here-" and click "Tweet" or whatever, haha.

It's that easy!

Guys read this!!!

How to get ayu worldwide

it should be fun!

^^maybe it'd be best to send a message when she's on.
your tweet might get buried under 10,000+ tweets to her.
i was lucky enough to catch her in action AND i got a reply! xD

I just already tweeted to her - particularly congratulating her and wondering about if she really has a MacBook Pro!

no worries! you could always delete that one (if you want) and just spam the crap out of her thing when she's on. xD
that's not really what i did, but it took me asking 4 different questions to finally get an answer.
i'm glad she looked at my 4th question instead of the others though. xD

Ayu said "A world is One" :weep

So what answers did you guys get? There's just so many at Twitter they're hard to find.

^i asked her 3 questions with no reply. and then:

I'll check it!RT @jeremy_diaz: @ayu_19980408 have you read all the letters from the "A WORLD is ONE" book? mine was in there!

<3

Just sent a tweet!:

strobeEdge
@ayu_19980408 ねぇayu、ずっと前から知りたかったけど「forgiveness」の英語の歌詞教えてくれませんかっ？ フロリダ州からつながってるファンだよ～！

I'm asking the forgiveness lyrics :laugh

Poor Ayu, stayed up late tweeting haha, I hope she replies to me XDD I thought this was funny too:

masatomatsuuraばぁか！寝ろ！ (Idiot! Go sleep!)

xDDD;

Umm...is Max watching Ayu also? Seriously!?

Well, maybe he was talking to himself :laugh But it could be about Ayu too :yes

hrm, i didn't realize until just now how prolific ayumi was on twitter! i sent her a message, even though i feel like a nerd doing it. lol.

I wonder if she's busy now even though she just went to bed about 4-5 hours ago~

you know i just had a thought, perhaps it has been posted already, but i wonder if her twitter and myspace are in response to A World is One? Kind of a way to reach out to her international fans.

what do you think?

^
I think you're right, and that english tweet could be a part of it, as well of the "A World is One" tweet! <3

I totally made a twitter account just so I could follow her lol

haha, i forgot about the A World is One tweet. i think i definitely believe this is a result of that project then.

yep, i think so. definitely. :yes i said something like that in another thread too

omg that first English tweet had me in tears!! this is so hard to believe still.. we're all so close to her now! :D

i'm so proud to be her fan:heart

Have you seen???
There are Ayu fan groups from Brazil and China (that have followers themselves) that have tweeted her, and she has replied! Asking about whether she would come, etc. and saying how "fans from Brazil are here to support you!" etc.! Very cool!

Anyways...
I wonder if we should start an AHS or a European, or an American twitter group (although I think an AHS/international group would be more sufficient) based out of AHS? We may be able to reach her in the same way as the Brazlian and Chinese fans have...

lol, I can't believe I just created a twitter account because of her...

^

Same here but i have no idea how this thing is use. XD

lol, I don't either, until I read truehappiness post on the last page on how to tweet.

i copy pasted by post in other thread

so I think we should set up a hashtag to trend
like #ayuworldisone maybe?
actually I've ever asked AHS ppl to make #aworldisone to the TT before..just to celebrate that our fanbook was accepted by Ayu~
but seem ppl not interested at all..
so now Ayu is online, lots of ppl start to create account to follow
so why not?

and we can set the time when, we start to tweet ~

I... just made a twitter account... *shame*

Now to find out how to tweet...

EDIT: I just tweeted for the first time! I hope I did it properly... :S I feel like such a loser.

I really don't know how to tweet.... do I just write something in the "What's happening?" box and click "Tweet"? With that does AYU read what I tweeted? I just follow her....is that the same as adding her as a frined? If not... how can I do that? Dx

Sorry...I really don't know about Twitter...I just created an account because of AYU ^////^

EDIT: I should have read before... Dx
Thanks truehappiness! ^^

^in the text box you have to write "@ayu_19980408 -and your message-"

this si the way so that ayu gets your tweet, and for every other user, you have to write their name with @ before it ^^ and that's it ^^

Come on ayu, wake up~

She might be busy with something and doesn't have time to tweet at the moment. I'm sure she'd be awake by now... but what would she be doing? Hm...

Rehearsing? Sitting on the couch with her dogs? Rehearsing?

LOL I know right, I'm still waiting for her! She'll probably come back when I go to sleep D:

She tweeted she was going to bed right when I woke up :(

lol she should tweet something like "Rehearsing now~" :P

Thank you!
I tweeted AYU!! ^0^ omH! it is....SURREAL!
Will she be able to read it? Before it gets lost among the other tweets? xD

She'll probably tweet like crazy at night like Max does. Most of the time when I wake up, Max is going through one of his tweeting frenzies, ahaha.

I'm so happy that she tweeted her fans! It's amazing that, just through Twitter, we're able to contact her. It's almost better than paying to be a TA member XD

Yeah, it seems like the main benefit of being a part of TA is the early lottery for tour tickets, then the magazines, and then the blog... haha.

Oh, and special things like MOON / CD extras for FC only.

I temporarily forgot about those things.

Yeah, the magazines and pics and stuff are cool, but access to tickets >>>> something like the "MOON" download where only people in Japan can download the ringtone.

Can someone explain hash tags to me and how they work?

Hashtags are meant for searching the twitter database. As you can see in the trending topics, hashtags are indicated with # followed by whatever a person feels or wants to state. For instance, #nowplaying (trending right now) indicates that people in twitter are writing it often (#nowplaying is a common twitter hashtag that people use to say what song they are currently listening to). Hashtags allow you to search your tweets in conjunction with other peoples tweets.

In another example, I could put #ayusongs in a tweet of mine to note that i am listening to an ayumi song. Searching #ayusongs in the search bar will then indicate all the times that I have mentioned it, as well as the times other people have as well.

Also, you can see the trending topics has topics without a hashtag, these are just common phrases that people may be unintentionally stating in their tweets.

You do not need to use a hastag to search it. For instance, typing #poem will give you tweets that people write about poems. A hastag tweet can be combined with @ replies as well. Some common hashtags on twitter are #followfriday (people mention notable users they like on twitter, on fridays), #musicmondays (same as nowplaying) and #justinbeiber (...)

People who have made a twitter account (and are new, or existing) should post their twitter names here so that the community can follow them. This will just be a good way for new people to get more integrated into the community. If i may start, my twitter username is zacharywan. (twitter.com/zacharywan)

I think I will use #aworldisone everytime I tweet @ayu_19980408 :laugh
My twitter is y_nathz anyway, it's my username everywhere :laugh
