Mirrorcle Monster 31st May 2011 06:09 PM

Her english is cute ^_^

oneheart 31st May 2011 06:18 PM

That was so touching!

I wonder though, if she just had difficulty expressing her emotions about the earthquake cause of the language...

Raiu-Ayu 31st May 2011 06:21 PM

she actually is really good at english these days lolol I mean she still has her accent but from the way she speaks and structures her sentences you can tell she has a good mastery of it :)

panda♥ 31st May 2011 06:24 PM

she's so confident speaking english now! i can totally tell a difference. :D

Bubbly 31st May 2011 06:31 PM

Wow, her english really has improves hasn't it?

love in music 31st May 2011 06:32 PM

her English has improved a LOT. it's so natural for her to speak it now. I was kind of taken aback by it at first. I'm so used to her being awkward with it lol

zoomzoom 31st May 2011 06:33 PM

Yea she seems extremely comfortable with the language, probably from all the talking she does with Mannie I can imagine.

asmAyumi1992 31st May 2011 06:37 PM

Fuahhh.. She's great!!! Thanks for sharing :D

somehow i can see it from the expression like she's searching for the correct word,but it's normal i guess for a non native speaker sometimes we forgot the words that we rarely use it

she looks comfortable and her english sounds nice and she's confident with it! :)

Eewyi 31st May 2011 06:54 PM

Oh, her English has truly improved, wohoo Ayu! ^o^

Bruised.Sapphire 31st May 2011 06:55 PM

Violently Happy 31st May 2011 08:06 PM

Her English sounds so good!!! I say she should make a full lenth English album! :P

alternarist 31st May 2011 08:50 PM

haha its funny to see how the report emphasise on how ayu lost words in trying to explain how she felt after the disaster. it's either that she was totally speechless or she cant find a good English word to describe it at the point. But i am proud of her.

and i am wondering why Leslie Kee often takes naked pictures of people lol

fuawas 31st May 2011 09:11 PM

Cute and weird at the same time lol Her english has improved a lot!

roanmy 31st May 2011 09:13 PM

Miduhyo 31st May 2011 11:50 PM

That was so good!!!! I've always loved her accent and use of English and now I'm just that much more in love with it. I hope she'll do another interview like with CNN where she'll use some English again!!!!

susiowong 1st June 2011 12:19 AM

I rarely call people cute, but Ayu was really cute when she spoke English. :3

IYFreak 1st June 2011 12:43 AM

I just love this look on Ayu it's like she's a grown woman lolol (I dont know why but I feel like I always see her as a kid, even though shes older than me lolol) but I love this look!

butterfly_ayu 1st June 2011 01:54 AM

I lobe it when she speaks English, because I can understand her XD She should stay with Mannie more often :)

AyumiAi 1st June 2011 03:21 AM

JackieRos 1st June 2011 04:44 AM

Yeah it did. But oh well, that's what the Chinese media is like, critical of most celebs whether local or foreign.

arlen 1st June 2011 07:11 AM

Her English is quite good

but the is taking a dig at ayu.:rolleyes

freedreamer 1st June 2011 08:45 AM

Is that Leslie spouting all that "I thought you were in America..why were you in Japan?" words?..I felt quite uncomfortable watching him LOL!

Ayu was so poised and cute!

That's what I was thinking, too. her english is really great--she sounds more confident now than she ever has--but I imagine something like that would be difficult to express in her first language, let alone her second.

It does seem that way. And yeah her accent is a bit better, still it's hard to say how much has she actually improved with only a couple of lines.

Thanks for sharing :]

keikeiaznqueen 1st June 2011 03:37 PM

Well in the comments you can see that Chinese fans are bashing the reporter for making fun of Ayu's English - the reporter apparently (because my mandarin listening is poor) said that Ayu's English was broken, even though obviously bringing up a topic like that would be difficult for anyone to talk about!

Corvina 1st June 2011 05:01 PM

Well, she isn't speaking much, so you really can't judge properly. XD
But it's pretty obvious the chinese media took that, cause Ayu didn't know how to expres in English...

Yeah, esp right after she said that she couldn't explain it, the reporter commented "why is that the only thing we hear from her?" -___-

ryben 1st June 2011 07:25 PM

what do they expect to hear man. if she throws in big bombastic words i suspect they would probably question her honesty and criticize her for being fake. And sometimes emotions overwhelm till the point you can't really express it in words, no? Her english is pretty rad!

CZECHayu 1st June 2011 08:45 PM

she's awesome! I feel so touched by the words she said. I admire her so much.

rakeru 2nd June 2011 05:29 AM

Her English is so improved! I'm so proud of her!

GREENsora 2nd June 2011 06:10 AM

Ayu sounds so cute when she talks in English!
Thanks for sharing :)

KillTime111 2nd June 2011 06:55 AM

TITANIC 2nd June 2011 07:56 AM

I really dont like her hair. it's just too short

brener 2nd June 2011 08:56 AM

panda87 3rd June 2011 12:55 AM

i looooooooooove watching her speak english. i find it surreal but amazing. she sounds so cute and classy!

ComatoseBunnySnatcher 3rd June 2011 01:13 AM

Wow, Im impressed by her progress!
no pun intended xD

But people shouldnt be so critical, even if she is in the spotlight. Though you can tell she has it down, judging by the way her sentences are spoken and the time (almost none) it took her to respond, save for the question where she was speechless. Her voice surprised me too! I always thought shed sound deeper, but her voice is kinda high pitched here lol

Shes so adorable!
Show them what you got, you fierce *****!

adantatu2 3rd June 2011 01:42 AM

OMG! Leslie is a boy XD

Stars unite for Leslie Kee fundraiser photo book
Ayumi Hamasaki tells CNNGo she'd never 'run away' from Japan in the face of disaster and why she loves Twitter

By Robert Michael Poole 3 June, 2011

'Love & Hope' goes on sale shortly, with proceeds going to disaster relief.
Singaporean photographer Leslie Kee may be renowned for nude shots of celebrities, models and artists but when faced with the March 11 earthquake he was quick to turn his camera to the disaster, capturing and publicizing the aftermath, before devising a plan to raise money the best way he knew how.
"I spent two days meeting soldiers, children, old people and it changed my life," Kee said at the launch of "Love & Hope," a ¥5,250 book containing his shots of the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Namie Amuro, sold to raise funds for the Japanese Red Cross.

Deciding to compile his best shots from a long career, Kee then contacted J-Pop superstar Ayumi Hamasaki via Twitter, and ended up taking the book's cover shot in her downtime when Hamasaki's concerts were postponed due the quake.

Helping hand

Hamasaki proved an unlikely source of information about the earthquake by tweeting advice and safety precautions relentlessly in the days following the disaster and she caused a spot of teen hysteria in Omotesando Hills when she came to view the result of Kee's project at his recent exhibition there.

Struggling to put into words her personal experience of March 11, Hamasaki seemed distressed to recall the impact of the disaster before telling CNNGo, "I can not explain my feelings ... that's why I'm singing."

Despite marrying US-based Austrian actor and model Manuel Schwarz in January of this year, Hamasaki choose to stay in Japan during the aftermath, saying firmly in English, "of course, I'm not going to run away!"

She explained that she felt compelled to tweet messages of assistance -- "I love my country" -- and that she will spend the next few months going back on tour to see her fans around Japan.


Sawajiri hookup

Kee and Ayumi Hamasaki have collaborated many times over the years, but Hamasaki says she thinks “it's destiny" that they were able team up again for the Love & Hope project. The 252-page book also features Japan's most controversial actress of the moment, Erika Sawajiri, who Hamasaki got to meet for the first time at the event.

Sawajiri recently joined record company Avex after months of negotiation, making the two unlikely label-mates. They posed for photos together with Kee and Hamasaki was quick to return to Twitter to express her happiness at finally meeting the most talked about celebrity in Japan in 2010.

Oh my lord I KNOW RIGHT! On my phone, I get these twitter-feeds from ayu, and lately my inbox is filled with this Leslie-key person and I always thought it was a close girlfriend of Ayu, and now i'm like;
O.O

Anyway, I like her English. I love how she reacts immediately when she got asked those questions. I love her; "I don't know" way of saying :D.

Calico 4th June 2011 06:55 PM

Thanks! I looooove her look and her voice! She seems like a totally different ayu and I love it~

althuogh I love the people here who are so shocked that Leslie's a man, lol. (it is a unisex name)
