^that's why i could tell that book really is special to her.

btw, who's crea_spain? was he a fan at london? i think it's so amazing and surreal that he has a friendship with AYU!! x_x

;_; I keep trying, someday I'll get a reply too.
I'm envy of crea_spain btw D: Ayu and him looks like friends!

crea_spain is a Spanish fan who travelled to London to see Ayu during that week she was there, and he's also travelled frequently (I think) to Japan to see her concerts. A while ago when he was in Japan at one of Ayu's shows, Ayu talked about him and may have made some mention of other Spanish fans during the MC; she also spoke to him a little directly during the MC. They frequently tweet each other on twitter so it certainly does appear as though they're friends.

I've noticed that she does reply to "old tweets." It a possibility that she goes through her messages and replies to the ones that are of interest to her. I believe my message caught her attention because I mentioned Scawaii. Other fans are getting attention by the places they live in in the world (England, Mexico, etc.)

^
haha yes, in my latest tweet to her I've written 'come to Italy again' lol.

I just found that after she tweeted me max also said something but in Japanese I wonder what he said..

i also got quite a bit of followers after she replied xD

yea surprisingly..yesterday Ayu replied long English tweets to the fans..awesome!

those special fans that Ayu remembers perfectly are mostly the ones who went London to meet her..
LUCKY!!
moreover you guys have pics taken with Ayu..
she'll always remember that..

I hope that she knows that she still has other international fans from asian countries..

hope so...

^AH~~ Exactly...!!

japanese twitter ranking

To add to that, the latest TA magazine had a 2-page spread full of fan photos from London, and crea_spain was in every single one!! :D You go, man!! XD

^

Yeah, that's crazy. :thud

Apparently Max Matsuura already have a Facebook account (!), so I don't know if Ayu's going to ever be on Facebook officially... Well, I hope so...

OMG SHUYA HAS A TWITTER *SQUUUEEAAAALLLL* I see that he can also twitter in English :heart

^
i tweeted him with english several times, he replied me with Japanese asking, can you speak Japanese? haha..then he answered my question using Japanese as well..
i Think he doesn't rly understand english that much..

oh well, one Ayu's staff TAKASHI can understand english quite fluently :)

Lol yeah, after all the excitement died down, I noticed :laugh Gonna follow him and Zin now!

i followed Shu-ya and Maro. :D do we need to spam their tweets like Ayu's to get them to reply to us?

LOL Shuya's avatar is avatar :laugh

Lol yeah, irony.

^ :roflmao his look-alike? XD

I followed Maro long time a go already. Now, waiting for Suba-sama! D: They already have thousands of followers, but I wonder how many of those are active anyway.

haha yea it's so funny that he put the AVATAR guy as his propic haha XDDD
he must be a big fan~

Did someone see this?

"bonjour!yeah,of course i remember that!!RT @Mdionayu: @ayu_19980408 bonjour Ayu! do u remember when u perform a song which is called Moon to Idol Stage?"

It's first time she is talking about something before Avex. I wanna ask about Nothing from Nothing. ahahaha.


Ayu is the only one who has been active for less than 50 days... It's crazy! In so little days she could get so many followers.

that ans surprise me .... i thought she wont ans related to her idol days...

That's a surprise lol I never feel like asking her about her idol days :laugh

Haha lol at the Shuya irony :laugh

"bonjour!yeah,of course i remember that!!RT @Mdionayu: @ayu_19980408 bonjour Ayu! do u remember when u perform a song which is called Moon to Idol Stage?"


I can realize! Ayu answered me! :luv2

LOL I had to post it somewhere evn if its not Ayu-related LOL

ZIN19791126

英語の勉強。I'm not monkey.Do you understand??笑 RT @my__aura おはよう～ZIN～！！It's so early in Japan now!! Kiss from Spain!

LOL ZIN... XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD


P.D; he's learnign english too?? great XDD maybe to do the MC overseas *blinks* xD

OO now hoping that also female dancers will take twitter, they are lucky to be a Ayu dancer(all of them) because when they take twitter, they have A LOT of folloers just because they are dancers from Ayu!

I'm following them, and they're in my "ayumi hamasaki group" list!

wahahaha that's so funny!!!
Zin's statement, he's not monkey....that made my day...freaking funny!!!

@sodeepsubaru

Subaru appears to have a Twitter now.

^wow...really? thanks for the info

OOOH! Followed~

Who's cocotakashi? Which one of Ayu's staff is he/she?

My need to get Twitter just grew ten thousand times.

Shuya reply me, but i don't understand... not good tradutor, some can translate for me? おつかれ山！ん～微妙にわかんない(T_T)あと、アバターお疲れ！的なコメントが多い件。（ 笑） RT @allanaherrera:

COCOTAKASHI is one of Ayu's staff..
we always see him around Ayu..and he's the concert manager though..
he replied my few times before~

If you guys see this pic, the 2nd guy from the right is Takashi-san! you must have seen him a lot together with Ayu in DVDs :)

^ ohh thanks! Haha, yeah, I always see him around, now I know his name!

Otsukareyama! Yes, it's complicated and I don't understand (T__T) Also, there are a lot of comments "otsukare avatar!" (laugh)

That's roughly it. I don't know what you were talking about, and my Japanese is still very basic, so I don't know if that makes any sense to you. lol

Twitter madness!

I think Ayu said something about a really big announcement on Twitter.

Single?

I'm surprised she mentioned the big announcement in her twitter too, don't single announcements usually go through TA first?

woah..i wonder what is the big announcement!
can't wait!!

SHUYA_Mizuno 作ろうか…作らないか…。。ちょっと考えておきます(>_<)迷ったらワンクッション！ RT @allanaherrera: @SHUYA_Mizuno あなたは、公式ブログを作るのだろうか？

I don't know if my tradutor is correct....
Please some translate for me again^^ I don't know if he understand...

Lets give the idea to Ayu make a PV with your dogs!!!

Thank you so much for translation^^!!! ;)

Today was such a sad day, I just want to be able to tell her how thankful I am for her music, if I know she's seen my tweet I'll be so happy.

Maybe she'll see it today...

allanaherrera: Are you making a public blog?
SHUYA_Mizuno: Should I make one... Or should I not... I think about it too much, am giving up (>_<) "One cushion" because I can't decide!

I have no idea what "One cushion" means. Probably that he's going to sleep. :shrug

Thanks ;)

I am totally not confident in Japanese yet but my Japanese teacher told me that in Japan there is tv show where they give cushions to the guest whenever something funny or interesting or whatever is said. The tv show seems to be really popular and so people are using the sentence "zabuton ichi mai" in their daily life, too. We had a learning text in our book with this sentence in it :laugh Maybe he is referring to that? Even though I don't know it makes sense in that context..

He is referring the make a official blog

I'm getting a little frustrated. I'll tweet her once, she doesn't reply back. So I think I'll tweet again.

I go to tweet again and it tells me update limit reached relax a bit.

I even went a day or two without tweeting hardly anything to anyone. Ayu comes on, I tweet her once, she doesn't notice, so I go to tweet again and it says Update limit reached.

Almost every time Ayu has been on I'm only able to tweet once before this happens. By the time I can tweet again she is usually offline.

>_<

^
that's ok~~~
everyone feels that way too..
we're out of luck i guess hehe :)
but keep on trying..
and twitter is like that though, if u tweet too many, it'll reach the limit..

^ Yeah. It's just that I only get to tweet her once and it tells me that. I must need to work on my timing. lol. I'll keep trying. :)

^
yes!!
lets working harder for that :)

I wonder when Midori and the rest of Ayu's dancers will make their twitter accounts. I also can't exactly describe why but I think it will be fun talking with Gomi seeing that he plays entertaining/funny roles in Ayu's concerts most of the time. :yes

^ yay! I wanna Midoring and Stan chan to make a Twitter account, I asked Ayu to do so while she was staying in Dubai and she replied me that would ask Stan... I guess he's not very interested xD lol

Same here! I remember seeing Ayu's reply to you on Twitter. ;)
I hope she can reply to me too someday.

Oh, I'd love to get midori's twitter!

Man, some people are a little, um, overeager about getting a reply. It's all right if she doesn't reply. So many people are trying to reach her that she can't reply to everyone. Think of it like a lottery. Not winning doesn't mean that you're a loser. This isn't a competition.

About spamming her again and again with basically the same message, several times a day... Honestly, though, try putting yourself in her shoes. Would you reply to yourself if you were in her place? It's nice to send her messages if you genuinely want to share something with her or ask her something, and if that were the case then you shouldn't even expect a reply at all. But sending her messages to no end just because you want her to reply? That doesn't seem right at all...

Also, really, I won't name names, but people should be a little more thoughtful and careful about what they write in their messages. I've read some tweets that dangerously overstep boundaries of common courtesy. It's wonderful that Ayu is opening up to her fans in this way. People shouldn't abuse it with nonsense and impossible demands. The world doesn't revolve around you.

^ I would agreed with you on that. I only tried her like once a week if she happens to be on. Otherwise if she didn't responed to me then.....oh well.

Well, this one is not directly to Ayu but to the Ayu News "sister" Twitter account, and although Arashi might still be running hot, you'd have to understand that Ayu's still going to stay strong...

And apparently, Ayu News responded to me...

That's because twitter doesn't let u tweet the exactly same text. You have to change your message a bit, a word, points or symbols ^^

well, even ayu told us to spam... Shu-ya posted a pic yesterday, i dont know how many minutes he was without loading twitter, mayby 3 min??? Well, he had 2300 new tweets at once. And he just has 10000 followers while ayu has 160.000!! Can u imagine how many tweets she may get in 1 minute?? I wouldn't worry for spam and that she may see your 100 tweets... You'll be lucky if she reads yours once, not even say twice the same tweet...

rite now, i feel that i'll tweet Ayu if i feel i want to.. haha XDD
i'm pretty tired to spam her n i donno what to say anymore wahaha XDDD

ayu_19980408Thank u!n i'll tell them about that!!RT @Ander_Hamasaki: @ayu_19980408 Ayu i love ur HAIR STYLE!!!!!!!

Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG!!!!
But what does she say???
Who are them ayu-chan???

@Heavenly Zerase: I guess, she means her hairstylists, ne?!

Where? WHERE????

My luck will be complete, if Midoring gets a Twitter now too! :heart

sodeepsubaru is his Twitter handlename.

She´s having dinner with friends, maybe she tell them!!!!!
I´m incredibly happy!!!!

I think Ayu hates Italy XDDD
Well, she also receive so many tweets...

someone ask her...she sure remember her old photobook:lech

Don´t say that, us should spam her more jeje

^
wow that's so sweeet of herrr!
she remember!! hehe :)

I´ve just realized that the 19980408 is the release date of poker face

Newsflash. Ayu has an iPad. Scary.

^really? how do you know that?

^ she posted a pic of it yesterday ^^

Nice!

She has already bought it?
Now she must cover it with swarovsky jewels!!!

what? iPad already? XD wonder if she knows how to use it after the other one that she has difficulty with the function~ (well i bet she learns well this time XD)

can someone post the link where she post the pic in twitter?

never mind i found it,cool~~

she's tweeting using iPad now~~ wahahahahahaha XDDD

i just about giving up on trying to tweet her anyway, too many people are trying, a lot of japanese are always getting to her and i think all of us are just wasting our time..why would she want to do this anyway? sides, she ain't gonna answer to "us" americans, much less even come here ever, so why should we even bother.

I think everyone needs to stop tweeting her now.

I don't get it, she has answered so many people in English, she just hasn't answered you, and tbh I hope she never does because of what a horrible attitude you have.

Did you know how much tweets she recieves per day? D:
Japanese are the majority, it's a fact but she has replied to some of us too (and we are the minority, I mean non-japanese fans).
For get a reply we must be lucky. That's all.

Ayu just tweeted about a new TA entry.

http://twitter.com/mina_zo_mina_zo

Minazo, Ayu's nailist (Bancho's old assistant nailist) has a Twitter.

http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/7...translated.jpg

He's on the left.

Oo, intense.

I think this is something like:
"How do you feel about people who criticize you, Ayu?"
"I think it's necessary. By all means, I'd like to hear honest opinions."


http://twitter.com/22yan22

2-YAN's Twitter.

That is just.. wow, hahahaha.

Thats cuz he into guys XD all her dancers are XD

let's ask about boyfriend >_<

hem.. who 22yan22? :/

Someone asked her if she has a girlfriend? >_>

& I don't think anyone should ask her about her boyfriend...

Her dancers are gay???I didn´t know it, i thought Maro wasn´t gay

Lol, it's easy to say they're all gay. It's possible some of them are, like it's possible none of them are. We don't know that and frankly it's none of our business either. LOL
