Me! Next weekend! =)
She will stay a month but she ist not sure yet.
For her weibo: About a month [唱歌] [唱歌] [唱歌] Not sure yet. //@hanabi_MTRLG: How long will you stay there, ayu?

Unfortunately I don't have enough money to take a flight and go there.
Damn.

OMG! London fans are so blessed to get a chance to see Ayu.

I'll try and get there as often as possible!!

I wish i could go...
Good luck guys!!!!

So it's London. I hope she porduces some really good new music there :)
And I hope everyone gets a chance to meet her. If anyone would be so nice to maybe give her a letter from me it would make me really happy :)


Edit: Omg I could fly to london and back to germany for 40€? Uhm....maybe I should try it!

I'll be there next Saturday, maybe Sunday too. It isn't nearly as cold here as it was last time, so hanging around should be much more bearable.

i would love to go there! as im in France now i should grab this chance! maybe once in a lifetime chance!

I'm definitely going at some point. I need to work out getting back from my uni in Bournemouth without missing anything too important though...hmm

Poss next w.e after i've handed in my assignment=]

Which Airpot is recommended for a flight to London and are there any experiences of AHS members where to stay (hotel?). It would be good to have Ayu's hotel nearby.

^^ I'd recommend either Gatwick or Heathrow, you can sometimes get cheaper flights that fly into Stanstead though.

As for hotels i'm not really sure, central London can get very expensive. If you want one near ayu's hotel you'll probs be looking at around £60+ a night at the cheapest i reckon.

For hotels, there are reasonable priced (for London) Travelodge's and Premier Inn's near Euston station. It's a convenient location for King's Cross and all that. It would be about a 20 minute walk, or a couple of tube stops to the Langham Hotel from there.

I've stayed at both before, and would recommend them.

EDIT: and there's also a hostel on Pentonville Road, if you're on a budget: http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldet...65?sc_sau=sfab

If I can convince my parents, I'll go too. =D
How high are the chances to meet Ayu if you're only going 1 (well half) day? =o

Someone should think about giving Ayu a CD with the sleeper/spaceborn remix of from your letter from the 2008 AHS Remix Contest on it. I seriously could see her performing that version live someday and it would be epic. It was such a beautiful autumn day here today, when getting in my car and thinking of what to listen to on my way to work, this song came to mind. It fits the autumn season perfectly.

Actually, a single CD of fan mixes would be a great way to evolve the "A WORLD IS ONE" movement. But it would have to be the HIGHEST quality mixes. Just an idea. But if there is only one fan mix that needs to be heard by Ayu and her team, it's definitely that one!

I'm planning my flight to London people!! *_* I'm so excited!! Can't nelieve I'm going to meet my goddess in about a week ç___ç

oh I have school and I thought that I'll be not able to come but I found the week from 14th is free and I'll go!!! Stay till Friday I think. But I hope there will be more informations because I need to book the tickets and hotel really soon!

Oh gosh I promised myself if Ayu will come again to Europe I definitely have to go!!

It would be nice to be in the same hotel with some of you because I don't want to do it alone xD

oh yeah I was thinking about it too. It seem that I'll stay from 15th to 18th. It's pretty short, but it's because of school and better than nothing.

Do we know why she is going to be in London?

awesome~~ and she is taking cmjk!

Is timmy going?

I kinda like the fan remix CD idea, but wouldn't it be kinda hard to determine which ones should be there and which ones shouldnt? lol

I love BRILLANTE and all, but I don't want any more additions to the "entourage" if that makes sense...

I was just talking to a friend about staying in London some time next year...and Ayumi goes NOW lol

How long did she stay for last year? And how often did she meet fans?

Might be able to get a coach there <3

I suppose people could nominate songs, and we could all vote. It would be a longer process, maybe something to think about for a future project. But regardless, I really think Ayu should hear the sleeper/spaceborn remix. It just sounds like something she would do and it would not only show once again how dedicated and talented her fanbase is, but how the production of a track can change the entire feeling of the song. Especially with this one, I think the new production goes much better with the vocals and lyrics.

I don't want her to be overwhelmed with something off the bat, but this one song - well, we could hear her reaction and opinion regarding it and it might spark her interest and she might look forward to getting a full A WORLD IS ONE fanmix CD. Especially with the AHS Remix Contest coming up soon (usually happens during winter), if Ayu were to get this one mix and love it, I'm sure it would generate more interest in creating more for the remix contest. Maybe people will be more serious about their works and work hard on the professionalism.

I'm definitely coming!!! Finally a perk for living in London. (Goodbye, gloomy days!!!) I just need to get my assignments/other commitments out of the way.

Yay! new album for 2012! :D

I really hope that it will full with Mirrorcle World/Microphone-esque songs... :D

Sending her that version of from your letter is a really great idea!!! the remix is awesome!!!

she will stay for a month?!?! wow...that's a long stay...i wonder how she can prepare for CDL

For those who will meet Ayu, please whisper to her to release anything that have English translation. They don't need to change the version. But just at least have the option for translation :P

I hope you guys will enjoy the meeting~ (^O^)/

Heathrow. You can get a tube straight from the airport, get off at St. Pancras and the Hotel Ayu should be staying at is just a 25 minute walk or you can get the tube and there's a budget hotel Premier Inn just near St. Pancras too.

Alot of the remixes from the contest are super awesome and some are even better than the original songs, case in point, Ourselves from 2008 (i think). But before you talk about getting her to hear a particular remix, shouldn't the creator have a say? or do the remixes become property of AHS?

^ Yes I think so too, but sleeper/spaceborn isn't active here much. I couldn't imagine him saying no, but someone should try to contact him and ask!

omg.. European fans are so lucky!!! Give Ayu lots of love for the rest of us fans~
A WORLD IS ONE :)

Good luck to everyone going to meet Ayu in London! :D
I hope no one has any run-ins with...some crazy people...>_>

OMG! WHY SHOULD I HAVE EXAMS THIS MONTH?? DAMN! -_- I won't make it to London again =_=

good luck to everyone who's planning to meet her this time!! aww waiting for your photos and stories *.*

btw don't forget to suggest her A WORLD TOUR next year ;)

I want to go there, but I can only stay in London 12 and 13 of November, and maybe 14 morning. I don't know if I could see Ayu in those two days. I really hope so. What do you think? Does it worth it?

I wish all of you lots of fun and please post all your pictures and stories!:heart:laugh

where did you find that offer if I may ask??

I'm going to have to take my sketchbook with me while I wait but I have got to go! I missed her last time and I really hope I won't this time!!

Argh i hoped she'd come to Paris instead... i had started to make fan nails to give to her, but won't get a chance to even see her (T_T)

Lucky fans enjoy the moment~~~~!*!

yeah i hope Paris too...

for how long will she be there? If she is still there til next weekend (so not this weekend) I might come. I am travelling til sunday to berlin where I would stay until next Friday, so that's why.

She said about a month, so definitely at least three weeks.

Oh man D: *broke*
Ayuu swing by Sweden x___x

Is anyone planning on seeing ayu on November 12 -15? Those are the only days I can go.~

I'm going be there from the 11. Nov. until the 14. Nov. ^^

I agree with this. There's a lot of high quality stuff that comes out of AHS. (and even DJ Amaya hangs around here sometimes.) I think Ayu would really like some of the remixes. :)

And I love reading the few lucky fan's experiences, especially when they come in at the time they're happening. (yay for internet connection!)

Good luck to those who are going! (and, of course, give her lots of love to represent the rest of us!)

I don't know about that specific offer mentioned in this thread but if you fly to Stansted you should be able to get 19€ or 29€ flights from just about every major airport in Germany. But getting to London itself from there takes an hour by train or bus(there's direct, relatively cheap connections from the airport to pretty much the middle of London though, they drive every few minutes or something if I recall correctly)

Is anyone thinking of going earlier than next weekend perhaps? I def will be there from the 10th/11th but I also may go down on Tuesday.

^
There are some people from Spain in London. Maybe you can meet at Ayus hotel. ^^

Yay! I might head down at some point, as long as someone from AHS can help me find where to go, haha.

fuuuuu*** awesome :)

i guess ayu will stay with mannie in Austria for a few days during the one month stuff

For all of you that are going, have fun and give her support. :yes

Now if only she would swing by NY again...:P

Can someone get me a autograph? :,D Haha. I would have to send one of my CDs to some guy in the UK first~

Have fun everyone!!~ ^__^

Would Ayu look down on me if I gave her an overseas version of something to sign?

This isnt fair :'( I can't go again!! ah good luck to all of those who will go!!

Tell me when you guys are planning to go meet her. I can swing by anytime (maybe not until 5pm, i still have uni to go to).

The weekend sounds good to me. I guess we will know her hotel etc by then? God that sounds so...stalker-y!! I'm just so excited to have a second chance at meeting her!

Why she would? :3 They are CDs like the Japanese ones, just because it isn't made for Japanese market doesn't make it any more unworthy ^__^

Ha i know what you mean, i was thinking earlier i feel so creepy and stalkerish! Ah well.
What time are people getting there roughly? I was thinking more morningish time.

I highly doubt she'd even notice, lol.

I'll be there too!!!! With my friends, we'll come on november 19 (saturday) and we'll stay until next day, sunday november 20!

Hiiii everyone i think im going on 11th and stay for a nite and then go back 2 coventry on saturday nite! anyone wants 2 go together? x

Hope I can sort out getting down to London to meet her, would bring my 9 year old daughter as well as she's abig fan to.
My parter can look after my 1 yr old son for the day

Have to see what train fare deals I can get from Norwich to London.
Would feel better heading down with someone else so I know were to go and what not :)

What days are people thinking of going?

I've just booked the flight!! I'm so haaaappy!!

We'll come from 16th november to 19th and we'll staying in Paddington.

I'm waiting till monday to book the flight, I wanna stay in London since friday 11st to monday 14th (or maybe sunday 13rd because I have class on monday)
Oh god, that's next week :thud
If I was sure she'll be there a full month I would go later because I have a lot of work for 28th >.<
Oh I need to practise my Japanese :headache

That would make it peak time on the trains I guess :thud If other people have been meeting her in the morning then I suppose Ayu is worth the extra £10 :P I'm sure this is what student loans are for, right? :innocent

On another topic, we don't have an A World is One book or anything to give her do we? Is there anything we can give or does anyone have any ideas for things to do? Even if it is a quick folder of letters to give her that we put together when we meet?

Oh my God! I never thought I would write about such things!!

Edit: We have a Shima knit machine at Uni, I wonder if I could get my friend to get the knit technician to knit an A scarf for Ayu....

Ahh, ayu is staying in England for a month! I could take this opportunity and go with a few friends by plane, but my parents would never let me + I have school :(.

Good luck to everyone whose going!!!

I'm so excited for everyone going to meet her!

The people who meet her could give her the new version of under the same sky? I know her staff has it already but giving it in person is a special thing in itself isn't it? :)

Someone from Hamburg planning to do the flight?

Wer kommt aus Hamburg und plant für ein paar Tage nach London zu fliegen? Möchte nicht alleine hin xD Schickt ne PM :)

Yeah we should give her letters or something - I never got the chance to participate last time. :(

Premiere Inn wants about 310.00 pounds for two nights at London Euston hotel LOL. If I add the flight costs I am at around 420.00GBP + food and tickets for subway/taxi. Three days in UK for over 500,00€ is way too much. I need to find a cheaper way to have a bed for the few nights im staying, QUICKLY D:

Edit: 300.00GBP for everything would be OK.

best cousin ever, indeed

so lucky

I'd love the chance to send her some flowers again :) I hope this means that one day she'd consider visiting Australia *__*

Lucky UK fans!! I'm sure there'll be lots of chances to meet......someone should seriously give her a USB though, so she saves her lyrics and doesn't lose them again lol

lucky UK fans

well, ayu will come to China soon, just wondering when ?

Lucky fans in London! Please enjoy your meeting with Ayu~

Yay! Yay!!! Last time even though I lived in UK I couldn't go because I had dissertation to work on... But now I LIVE IN LONDON AND I CAN GO VISIT AYU ANY TIME!!!!! WOOOOT!!!!!!! Guys where is she staying and who is going there to meet her& =D

Can those who go ask her to sing Liar / It was / Criminal ? :D Or ask why she doesn't want to sing it, I've been tweeting her so many times about it with no response T___T

I smell an album approaching - if she's staying for a whole month, she's going to be recording a decent amount of tracks.

^ With mastering time, CD pressing, printing, advertising production, photoshoots etc, probably a January 2012 release then :D

Or maybe the week of Christmas xDDD

You can ask her directly in a letter :D

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=111814

Do you think that she's going to stay in Langham once again?
Because I've booked the hotel near there!

^I hope she will. My hotel is near Langham too. XD

Edit: My hotel http://www.saintgeorgeshotel.com/

^^wich hotels did you both booked? (I think this thread is the one to ask these kind qestions xD)

How much did they charge you for ur stay? They want over 400.00 pounds from me :innocent

^
654 CHF for a double room. Try hotels.com I booked there. ^^

I am listening to Seiko Matsuda's album "Christmas Songs".

Wouldn't it be awesome if Ayu would record an album full of christmas song in London for this years' christmas time? =)))
For such an album no singles are needed, which would make it possible to release everything at once.

Too awesome to be actually true :(

I have a full week of work until the 14th. Then I have two weeks off, so I'll be there then!

I remember reading that Liar is TA's least favorite song on MY STORY, so she probably thinks no one likes it?

hey!! Are people going to see her?? Please tell me when are you going, I'm in London, but I wonder if there people other than me who is going. You can PM me or email me (valeriyafedoseeva@yahoo.co.uk) or write here.
Awww... last time I couldn't see her cos I was in wales working on my dissertation, but now is my chance!!!!

Today's the day in Japan - Ayu's going to London!!!

Aaah!!! I'm so excited!!! I'm nearly finished with ayu artwork for her to sign. (i was stupid enough to leave all her cd/dvd back home.)
