REPORT

friday : planning to go meet ayu saturday . i m feeling so exited . i m already preparing my cd to sign , charging the camera ( hopefully they will allow pictures with ayu )
its gonna be a 1h30-2hrs drive but to me its totally worse it .
-received a request from identity , now adding an extra cd in my purse , will do my best to get you a sign :)


saturday

its 2 am i still cannot fall sleep .i m too exited by the idea to possibly meet ayu
early afternoon , its time to leave .we are 2 in the car , talking about ayu and watching her videos on a small screen .it was really fun .we were both singing .
we keep hoping we can meet here . my friend nick show me his amazing A tattoo . i can feel all his passsion and love for ayu . i truly hope he can show her .

3 pm we arrive.the hotel is ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS!.
the parking only allow 2 hrs parking so we have to watch the time .we get to meet 4 others fans ( who were really nice and interresting people .it was nice to meet you guys ! we should meet again)
everybody is getting confortable talking about our life and exitement to see ayu .

4H30 ..time to move the car ...it feels like we dont want to miss a minute , worried ayu would pass by .

suddenly ayu pass by , in confy clothes , her hair looks short in a bun , no make up , she is surrended by her staff . she goes into the elevator .

around 5H30-6h zin passed by 2 fans tried to take a picture with him however he rely taking picture in the hotel was forbidden and run away ( which was untrue cuz we took pictures of each other during the afternnon and even ask the hotel staff to take a picture of the group so... i think he just didnt want to take a picture ).

during the whole afternoon we kept seeing her staffs , all the suitecases ( which i suspect were full of ayumi clothes for her photoshoot...the 2011 calender have high chance to be shoot in LA)

7h the exitement is at its highest , everybody is getting there booklet and cds ready to get sign .
stan was SUPER NICE . i thought we would only be allow to take one group picture but he helped us took group pictures and individual pictures .
some of us told her she should hold a concert in US . she didnt reply though ...she just smiled
ayu was looking stunning ( she had long blond hair extention and a warm grey jacket ) she was surch a sweetheart ( as always) .
my friend nick show her his A tattoo she looked stunned and amazed . she asked is it real ? so we replied yes its real . she starting to touch the tattoo in a really cute way .

she hugged each one of us for the individual pictures and sign all the cds we asked her for . her english was really cute . she smiled to everyone and looked really happy to meet her fans. the meeting was kind of fast . she left in a black car surely for some photoshoot.
we all waived at her saying good luck and goodbye .
ayu photographer was there so there is high chance the pictures will be either post on her twitter or her TA . hopefully they get published in teh next official team ayu magazine .

i really wish this moment never ended .i felt like my heart was about to explode at some point .
i 've been a fan of ayu since 1998 ... its been 12 long years hoping i would see her and today this dream came true !!!
it still feels unreal having been hugged by ayu . she was really kind . all i want to say is THANK YOU SO MUCH AYU !!!!!!

9 pm i m back ...everything feel so unreal ...like it was a dream . i really hope ayu could feel our love and our support .

as promised here are the pictures ( im sorry guys most of it were blurry so here are the only ones that look decent .... i m planning to return monday to take A LOT MORE pictures )

small note: seeing how ayu was smiling and enjoyed her fan meeting , i really hope that from now on she will give us more hint on how to find her or how to meet her . im sure she could feel our support and love .

message to all the fans who will go going to LA: please dont give us a bad reputation or a bad name . stay calm and organized .dont scream or run hysterically onto her . the staff will let you know when she is avaible . you just have to be patient .
it will show ayu her US fans are very normal and good people .

please make sure to credit me @gothicayu if you want to repost this report or pictures . thanks

note : im receiving massive demand via pm for everybody to get their cds sign . i might be able to get my cd +2 more but i dont think ayu will give more than 2 or 3 by person .its just too much .it will be nice if she already sign one. i will try my best to get as many sign i can but i can' t promise anything

Good luck!

Good luck!! Two hours is nothing when you think about the chance to meet Ayu! I hope it works out and you get a picture. (Though I'll be really jealous!)

By the way, she's a workaholic, so she might leave the hotel early...? But like you said, hopefully she goes back and forth a lot. :)

thank you guys . i know our dear ayu is a workholic and also loves to party thats why i think 70 or 80 percent of the time she must be out of her hotel however i m pretty sure she have to change clothes or at least rest a bit at her hotel so hopefully that will be my chance to talk to her . she have so much support from fans from overseas , i will tell her how much her overseas loves her

This is kind of the same feeling like reading the London thread back then.

Good luck!!! So the discussion of LA adventure continue here or in the other thread?

LOL in both .we are not competing ;)
as soon as i get there tomorrow i will make sure to update this thread minute by minute

you're so awesome for trying to get something signed for me! even if you can't, I'm just grateful you considered! hope you see her and it's amazing!

no problem ,glad i can help i will make sure she sign it with your name

How I wish I could join you! :( Feel like picking me up? lol

ownsarai where do you live ? if its not too far from me i can pick you up

Ah, lucky duck, you! No chance for me, since I have school and Thanksgiving break doesn't start until two weeks. Even if Ayu was there, fat chance my mom will allow me to go. ;.;
Have fun for all of us here at AHS! :D

Probably too far, I live in Fresno. :(

you leave near SF i live near SD . its the total oppposite . LA is the most "high" i m going . sorry about that :(
if i was near fesno i would have definatly pick you up

^its no problem. ;) I figured since you said you were only a 2 hour drive that it would be out of the way. ^^ Make sure you share your pictures and report! :D

Agh it's at times like this I wish I never moved. I grew up in southern California, about an hour or so drive from LA. Then I moved to New York and I feel like Cali gets all the excellence and I'm left out. D:

Oh well, just consider yourself completely, absolutely and most enviably lucky.

^......I can't wait to move to New York so I won't have to drive.....o_o

.....I wan't to go but its so far....>< And I have school commitments....I would've gotten her to sign my copy of NEXT LEVEL i think....depressing

just sent u a pm, please read it >.<

LOL. hope you have a lot of fun! :heart :D :D

Wish you all good luck^^
Maybe someone can let sign an aditional CD for me? (og course I will pay you the money for ship and buy a new one for your collection^^)

OMG that's awsome. I really hope you get to see her and get your cd's signed. I think you make a lot of us jalous at you, at least me.

Good luck~

Make sure you're stocked up on energy drinks, you may be in for a long wait!

Good luck though, I'm really jealous xD

@kendelle thanks a lot its a great idea i will do it for sure

thanks everybody for your support i will go to represent all the ahs fans who couldnt go ;)

Good luck, all of you~ And make it incredible moment~<3

Hope you can see her and get a sign...And it would be great ifnyou can speak with her about World Tour xD
We should tell her by twitter that you are there.

Im so jealous! I would aks you to get me a signed cd :P but that woul dbe asking too much :D I hope you get to meet her!!!
post pictures :D im so jealous ;p

oh ur so lucky~ so envious hehe I hope she signs ur cd & identity's!!

amazing. good luck!

the report is up

pictures are coming tomorrow sorry guys for the wait

just read, and omg, i can feel the energy and vibration here *--* i wish i was there too =/

Mhm! It's as though all of us are sharing this exciting night/moment together even though the experience only lies with a lucky few. There's still a definite spike in the energy just talking about it all :]

I told my boyfriend (who actually listened to Ayu before me but I quickly took over as the bigger fan), and he was also very excited and happy with how it turned out. We both agree it made Ayu seem closer, and much more real, knowing that I've spoken with and share a community with people who have spoken to her, interacted with her... she doesn't seem as far off right now. It's a nice feeling.

very nice! how long will ayu be in LA for?

thx for sharing! luv it!

i think at least one more week . she seems very busy . some of her dancer were there and A LOT OF HER STAFF . they had one limousine +1 big black car and an other car ( not to mention the at least 12 suitecases full of clothes in front of the hotel waitting to be put in those cars )

i dont think she is done with her work yet . ayu is a workholic .

we're waiting for ur pics..
I'm gonna credit u for sure..
thanksss!!

omg I'm so happy you got to meet her! it sounds like such an amazing experience, even if it wasn't that long! you must be totally overwhelmed!

i was especially receiving a hug from her i wasnt expecting it at all . it was SO SWEET of her ! best moment ever

Wow. I want 12 suitcases full of clothes. Waaaahhhhh~!

Not gonna lie, that's something that would make pretty much any girl jealous. ;]

i want to but its hard to move lollllll i think its most likely for the calender photoshoot cuz she needs to change clothes often

oh I'm so happy for you guys!! individual pics ahhh I'd kill to have one with Ayu!! I wanna fly to LA now :weep

*.* I'm so jeaulous!!!! You're so lucky!^^ And thanks for the report, it was fun to read.^^

Amazing!! I read this with the biggest smile on my face! :)

So happy for you and all other American fans who get to meet her!

waiting for the pictures...
so jealous and happy...
i hope more and more fans will show up...

That was a great read. Thanks for sharing :)
I'm so happy for you and everyone else who showed up!
Hopefully more people get to meet with her in the upcoming days. ^_^

You are so lucky!!!! :)
i wish i could have been there but im so glad
that after 12 years you finally got to meet her!!
<3

That sounds amazing! I love the part about her reaction to the tattoo. Just adorable!

I'm so glad that you had fun! I wish I could have gone (because, you know, Texas is SO close to LA :P), but I'm glad that you got to meet her. And you got a hug from her too? I think you can die happy now! Ah, maybe she will come here one day...or wherever I go to college.

And you say that she might be there for at LEAST a week? Hmm, maybe I can send a letter to her...!

L.A. fans going to meet Ayu- if I send someone a message with a short letter to Ayu from myself, would it be possible for delivery? I know it's a lot to ask but I at least wanted to ask if there was anyone out there willing to try. If so, PM a.s.a.p.? ;_;

im thinking to return next week end ..maybe ? if i go than i dont mind delivering a letter to her

OMG, the third picture is so high resolution! Really the stuff I am looking for the most! Now that I see how beautiful the pics you shot are, you definitely need to meet Ayu again on monday O_o

im thinking to bring a profetional camera however i dont know if they will allow it

thanks for the pic...which one is you gothicayu?
ayu looks so amazing!!! pretty!!! stunning!!! the sparkle on her eyes is so hynoptizing

@ayugame i dont appears on those pictures since i was the one taking them :) and it was all guys exeprt me and my beautiful friend ShadeKeiko ( that you can see in the back)


i m gonna take both camera tomorrow if they dont allow profetional stuff i will take a lot with the regular camera . hopefully i can keep you upgrate guys .

I'm so happy for you guys, you got to meet Ayu! I think I would've been so terrifyingly nervous, I would've fainted or something like that :laugh

Why is she so pretty? I want to have hair like that .___.

@gothicayu: it's no problem if you bring your "professional" camera ;)
well at least they didn't mind it in London and I doubt it'd be a problem now either ^^

thanks a lot for the info . i feel so happy right now . that means the picture will be HIGH DEF

@Kanzaki88 we were all super nervous and exited at the same time . as for her hair those are real human hair extention because in the afternoon her hairs were really short in a bun ( nobody can grow hair that fast lol )

^no problem, just make sure to share your pics with us ;)
and that'll make us very happy too ^^

I have some human hair extensions as well, in that color...now I feel like finally getting it done and putting them in. I don't know many japanese women who can pull off that shade of blonde as good as she does though, she looks so amazing.

yay for the pics..
thank you for sharing!!
love them!

@Blasterion i will make sure to post everything .this time i m bringing an extra flash ...

@Kanzaki88 , its true this color is really hard to pull out .ayu does it really well . i guess you need a really light skin tone to wear this type of blond . it looks really beautiful though. if you get it done you should post pictures :)

@AyUmIXx no problem hope i can post more tomorrow

I'm so happy for all of you! It must have been an amazing experience!

kagami @ it was indeed and i really enjoyed meeting other ahs members . the members were really nice which made this experience even more amazing

OMG..i seem hv trouble to load ur pics T__T

can u somehow please resize for me?
I want to post ur pics on my ayu's fanblog, ayusstory.blogspot.com if you're ok with it :)

omg I was thrilled just reading your report what if I was there? she came to dubai and didn't tell anyone -___- I wish to see her and take some pics and autograph with my name

I am so glad you got to see her and spend time with her, even only a few moments! o_=

Thanks for your report and pics! I'm really happy for you~ ^^

That would be wonderful, and I appreciate it! :luv2
