Hm.
I think it would be cheaper to get someone artistic to paint a tiny little gold A on some black chopsticks LOL

you could do them yourself *shrug* maybe if they were encrested with swarovski crystals or somethin, haha...

the soup would be cute though, haha

D: Lucky is the person who gets those

tokyoxjapanxfan I bet if creative people did this and sold them on auctions, they could make more money...kinda like those fanmade ayupans...oo oo and maybe they could branch out and create more good quality fan stuff...until you know, legality issues lmao.

That brown square isn't tofu though. It looks like bean curd....

Tofu IS bean curd, namiie.. o_O

That's what it means in Chinese/Japanese.. dou fu..

I really want a pair of it!

REALLY? Well, in Vietnamese, there's a distinction between tofu and bean curd...they are hardly ever referred to as the same thing, since they have distinct forms and are cooked differently. But ah ok, I see that in Japan they're used interchangeably.

Maybe bean curd simply refers to the fried version and tofu refers to the white blocks? D:

I go to a Vietnamese tofu shop, Dong Phuong Tofu, a lot and they have the fried stuff all prepped with some of the blocky stuff.... not really available. They have soy bean milk and maybe the tofu flower dessert stuff with syrup. :O

ayumi hamasaki countdown live concert with noodles equipment
new album “GUILTY” rises back in rank in the chart

Japan famous singer ayumi hamasaki is opening a noodle stall at the concert venue for future plans!? Ayu has again become the champion singer in the chart for the company after she launched her new album “GUILTY” on the 1st day at the start of 2008, and she has already organized 7 years of countdown live concerts. This year, she decided to try something different, working together with a famous noodle shop, she is opening a noodle stall at the concert venue. Fans can even get chopsticks printed with the “A” logo, and this becomes a very practical and surprising New Year gift.

From the year 2000, ayu has been organizing countdown live concerts at the Tokyo 1st Sports Hall on the last day every year. Besides remembering to snatch the goodies, another important thing to fans is to share the New Year joy with ayu. Besides selling goodies this year, ayu suddenly had an idea to open up a “ayu noodle stall”. By buying a “noodle voucher”, fans will be able to exchange it for a bowl of noodles full of ayu’s love. Besides working together with the 40 years old shop, the beans skins in the bowls are also printed with ayu’s “A” logo. The hot noodles in the fans’ mouths will be satisfying, and they can also get limited edition of “A” chopsticks, allowing the queen to do a part for the environment too.

I was like "wtf roflmao" when I saw the title. XD (imagine Ayu serving noodles in a little stall somewhere in the middle of Tokyo..) But that's kinda cool though. I wanna have chopsticks with the 'A'-logo. o_____o

^ haha..sorry for misleading...changed the title already

lol. i thought ayu is so poor that she needa set up a noodle stall for extra allowance.

it's the ramen with tofu with the A logo on it.. remember? people were eating those tofu during CDL 0708...??

oh yeah I remembered that .

so did she made them personally or someone helped her along with it ?

It's nice to have that 'A' logo on those tofu in one of her concerts..I remembered that too.
'A' chopsticks would be so cool!
HAhaz. Seriously, I tot u mean Ayu wanna switch job to sell noodles. -_-

-_- nah I don't think it will happen provided if she has squandered all the hard earned $ she earned from the past 10 years then maybe ya

hahaz.. ya.. that's y i'm stunned when I read this news. lolz.
I'm relieved then. =)

That just sound a wee bit creepy.

YA!!!! hahahaha.... it would be hilarious if she actually wants to quit being a singer and sell noodles instead....
