^Oh! Hopefully she'll get better and can meet you tomorrow. So Friday already? wahhh....

What time of day have you all been seeing her? I want to go either Thursday evening or Friday morning. Thursday would be perfect for me though as it's my birthday and that would be the best present ever! =D And plus I get to have the Friday off from work but am busy in the afternoon.

oh Ayu keeps getting lovelier by the minute :heart

so I guess I can keep the previous plans I made for next weekend :D

but now I have to get there earlier! I hope I can....

Oh no. Ayu please wait~ ;__;

Hmmm ooooo that’s not so great news... I guess it's worth a shot to try once more and try seeing her Friday Evening. I'm hoping she'll try doing as much as she can for her fans on the last day in London, but if it's true... I just hope I will be able to catch her on Friday =)... If anyone is going to try come on Friday, I don’t mind sending you my phone number and you sending me yours... Then at least we can contact each other to keep ourselves informed if she's really gone or not.

I’ll repost the contacting part when time gets nearer. For the rest of you, I hope you get to see Ayu if you’re in Europe!

Just got home now. I had waited with the others (from Spain and France) all day in front of the hotel, but I had to leave at 18h05, while the last update from Stan was that she might to go dinner by 18h30-45. So I might have missed Ayu by 30-60 minutes :(
Can the others give me an update if and when she came out? I'm still super happy with my signed stuff from yesterday ^^

What Stan exactly said about their stay: was that the original plan was until friday, but if the shooting took longer than expected it might be extended to Saturday.
So I think the people who are meeting Ayu during the week, should start asking her (or Stan), starting from wednesda perhaps, how long they will stay. Many fans have planned next weekend, but I guess Sunday is totally off unless there are huge delays. If she stays until Saturday, I might come over again from Friday evening till Saturday.

^ we all missed her... don't worry hatix... you can understand how gi and I feel now.. with all the stuff about the plane and so.. she is too sick for coming out!


same post as in "your experience with AH":


Well... mmm today it was a bitterwheet day..

first of all I have to say to you all that AYU IS LEAVING THIS FRIDAY!!! Stan said us that they will leave on Friday.. maybe saturday if the shot (of a PV I supose) isn't finiseh.. so people.. if you really want to enjoy Ayu wou have to fly there on wednesday... to se her maybe wednesday night, on thursday and sey bye bye on friday... (I don't know if crea-spain said it already...)


So, about today...

We were in front of the hotel at 8... at 10 one guy from ayu staff (we call him the iPhone guy) came and ask us: are you waiting for japanese?. It's like.. XD not for japanese.. for AYU! we said yes, and he showed us her iPhone, sying, ayu can't come now, she has send me a message.

it said: please, if there are fans waiting outside of the hotel, tell them to go and stay in a warm place. If they want to wait maybe I will go out at 12 at noon.

It was in english. I asked him: it's really from Ayu. He said yes... yes I was able to see "Ayu" in the screen. We were so... overwhelmed.. you know.. how whe was worried about us and she was saying at which hour we should go... Before that two uf us went to a flower shop and we bought a bunch of flowers (I will post a picture later) they were pink roses and some other kind of flowers, really cute, it was amazing... we also made a note saying:

It has been great to meet you Ayu! We hope you will come back soon to Europe! Thanks for being how you are!
From your fans:

(and her we 5 put our names and countries... it was curious because no one was from England.. Ayu should think about that maybe XD 3 spain/1 france/1 belgium)


At 12 we were there... at 12:30 Stan-chan came for the first time. He said us that Ayu was a bit ill, and her voice wasn't okey because London is so cold, and that she wasn't going to go out for the moment... that we should go to somewhere and wait if we wanted warm and that she wouldn't go out before 4.. so at 4 or 5 she would come. He asked us if we wanted to give her something so we gave him the bunch of flowers and said him that there was a message.

We came back at 4 and waited... and waited... then Stan came for the second time, he said that they would come out at 6,30-45 to go to the recording studio. cre-spain and the french gilr gave him a letter for ayu. Here it was whene we asked Stan when they were leaving.. he said, as I said, at Friday, but that they are recording and also doing a shot (so or it's the booklet or a PV...) and that if they could not finish it by then they woulg come back on Saturday...

we all were back at 6... we waited and waited... and also like at 12, the staff bans, her driver, and other staff members were out waiting... at 8 the iphone guy came, we already knew what he was gonna say us... she was not going to go out. Only a few minutes after that Stan came for the 3 time... He said us that Ayu was too sick, that she couldn't go to the recording studio and of course couldn't come out and see us. He said that he was sorry because we were waiting for all day... He also said that all the staff was going out and leave her alone resting. I said him to say to ayu to take care and get beeter soon... we said goodbye and that's all...

efectively all the satff was outside going in different directions, they all waved us from the car, also banchou was going with other staff walking and she waved us as well and we said goodbye.

So... we are kind of sad now... My friend and I cancelled our plane for one tomorrow because we were only 4, so it would have been so personal, we wanted to have individual pics with her and speak a little, not signing anything, just let her know what we are writting in all our letters... I'm really tired, we were there from 8 to 8....and I think I got a cold too... of course it's sad and it's dissaponting but I don't regret being there all day.. of course it's not Ayu's nor Stan's fault... we also said him thankyou so much to him, Ayu and all the Staff because they were really kind to us letting us know when we could come and to care about us and say to go to a warm place. Really I feel really thankyou it's like Ayu cares more of us than for herself!!

I'm also sad because she's ill.. and that's a pitty because she has to end recording the album and make the shoot... so she has to feel really bad right now for all the staff that is here waiting for her.. and she's so a good person that she might even feel bad for us waiting outside!! :(


so well... it has been a sad way to end this amazing weekend... But een though I can get good things from today (at least we talked a lot with Stan, Ayu got our flowers and message, sure she knew about us... We also think she was looking at us from the window...) and I've got a lot of things!! authographs, pics, seen her 3 times, talked to her, touched her... I'm even at TA!! my mum called me this morning to tell me XDD) It has been amazing!!...

sooo... nothing more... now I can only say some advices to you all guys...

As Ayu is ill I don't think she will go out tomorrow morning... If you go there normally she gous ut at 11-12 so I wouldn't be there waiting until 9,30-10... before it's kind of useless... but we didn't know so... XD Also maybe se comes back during the afternoon some time around 4... but whe won't be on the hotel until 8 or later if she's doing something.. but before 8 it would be strange... If I were you I would be only at the hotel... you know.. it's 100% sure she willc ome out and come back from the hotel.. while you don't know if she's oing first at the studio or to another place and so...

Also and advice of how to act. They don't like crazy fans that scream and take pics of her all the time.. she feels uncomfortable... of course if you want to do that you can... but if you want them to be kind to you and talk to Ayu you have to be wuite, whe WILL come tou you kidnly, she will sign everything and more you will give her, she will accept everything, and for fotos, before doing anything ask for a pic, and it will be better that make her feel uncomfortable or make Stan get angry with you...

Tha's my advice... also I tell you she will make a group pic if you are few people or only when she's ariving from somewher... if she's coming out fron the hotel she won't stop for a pic, only signing... If you are a lot don't spect her to pay atention and talk a lot... only when we were 4 and yesterday 7 whe was talking... and yesterday she knew perfectly that Crea-spain was new, and that the other saw her already... I'm sure she remembers me and my friend, and also the french fans so she spend more time with crea-spain ^^

mmm nothing more... XDDD I had a kind of only looking-philosophy, I only have pics where I'm with her that other's took... I wanted to see everything and remember every single expressiond and movement and word she did not seeign her through a cam.


So... enjoy Ayu if you are going, I wish you all the luck and hope you will be able to meet ayu as well!!

I'' post HQ pics and some more tomorrow ^^

The picture of the bouquet of flower + small letter (with our names) that we gave to Ayu (through Stan, who was such a friendly guy; in fact, the whole staff was very friendly).

^Aw that's so sweet - get better soon Ayu!!

The flowers looks very nice, and i think the message says somthing like "It's great to see you, please come back again to Europe" lol It was a nice present to Ayu guys :) I'm sure she is very happy she recieved somthing so nice from her fans :)

Well done!! xD

Looking for people to meet up this Wednesday!! :D

^ I'm planning on going Wednesday as well.

Does anyone have any tips for me regarding her schedule? Like.. what time do I have to be at her hotel? Really early?

Of course I'll also look through the threads, but if someone who went could please confirm both addresses for me.. hotel and recording studio.. that would be most kind. Thank you :)

Poor Ayu beeing sick in such a buisy schedule.
Ganbatte all of you whos in London now. Ayu is such a happy person to have such great fans! :)

Poor Ayu. I've heard how very cold it's been in Europe, and I guess it doesn't get that cold in Japan.

Ayu and her staff seem like some of the sweetest and absolutely nicest people. True, I've gotten that feeling from her off-shots and making-of's and such, but to hear everyone's experiences... Next time she comes to mainland America, I am so going to meet her. Haha.

I wrote it on my last review.. to sum up:

- 100% sure you will see her at the hotel morning/afternoon/night, don't try to find her enywhere else...

- she won't go out before 10.. so be there around 9:30... it's a wast of time to there earlier, even though we did it.. we didn't know what to expect... so now you know it... then she will probably go out around 11am and 12am... then return a few tiem around afternoon maybe... 4-5pm... and she won't go back to the hotel before 8... she can arrive early like 8 or late like 11pm

- as I said.. please.. if you want them to be kind to you.. don't take photos without asking permision, don't go to her running or like crazy, she will come to you... if stan says something, do it XD if not Ayu will go away and it will be more difficult for you....

- if you are few people like 4-7 it's perfect, she will talk to you and spend some time.. if not doesn't expect her to pay atention... even less when she is leaving the hotel... she has to be somewhere in time.. so it's better to ask for pics and so when she comes back....

I think there's nothing more to say... if you act liek this they will be kidn to you... you know.. yesterday the staff was so worried about us waiting outside 12 hours... they cam eto us leting us know when to come or so... really, it was great...


good luck guys!

^ Sounds like you guys are having great experiences, even though you have to wait out in the cold for so long. :)

I really wish I could travel to London now. Unfortunately, I have exams. My friend will 'stalk' Ayu and give her my letter, he said. I hope she would recieve it.
I'm not really a person who writes letters to a celebrity, to be honest; I think it's stupido. But for Ayu, I take every chance!
And yeah, reading letters is a good waste of time in your journey high in the sky. Japan - London, London - Japan isn't so nearby. So, maybe maybe...


Next time; someone have to take me with him/her! Volunteers?

So... I was at the travel agency today, but flights there are too expensive, so I will not go, I prefer to have something to eat in my fridge XD

Is anyone going on Thursday?
