moderator, please merge the thread or delete it, thanks :)

Great news! Thanks!

=)

Too bad that she's not coming to Bucharest :(......glad for the french fans who'll have the chance to see her.

Great news! I wonder what she will wear!

Omg!!! yess the Japanese been talking about this! Ayu also said on her twitter she wants to meet her dear Europeans fans there! go people and buy your ticket now XD

aaahh hope I could be in Paris again to meet her >_<

Now I must jump on a plane to Paris! Not really but I can't wait to see if maybe Pray is released around the premiere time.

COOL! Hope lot of fans will come to support her!

if I had lot of money, I'd fly to Paris to see her :)

Who not xD
I don´t think I will have enough money to meet her... like always I have either no money because i don´t have work or no time because of work =/

how to get the premiere ticket?

Can the general public attend this sort of premiere?

Cool!
Expecting an awesome dress she gonna wear. And photoshoot for magazines.

wow, this is great *--* more western people will get to know her

I wish she'd perform it LIVE there with a special stage! Oh gosh! I'm dreaming. But who knows!

Official news!

Though I would love her to perform, I doubt she will. I can't really think of many movie premieres where the theme song is performed live.

mhhh whouldn´t it be nice we make a little fanbook again with best wishes for her and her fiance?

I really hope more information will become available before the premiere, like how long she will be there, when she'll meet fans etc. I need to book a flight/bus and hotel. :3 The timing couldn't be more perfect.

I'll actually have time to contribute to this one if we can do that!!! :O I hope we can!

this would be amazing!
i think she would really appreciate it even more after the negativity brought on by her relationships in the past few years...

I think its not that bad for us to ask Ayu. At the first place, they're the one who said they'd meet fans there too. :D

If we have a chance to give it to her, it would be very nice!

Uh I want to see her ;__; But I don't have that money ._____.
I just wish to had a signed photobook or cd ...

I'm also waiting for more information about how long will she stay there. I hope someone (like ayuangel) ask her on twitter because she usually answer them u_u

I asked her if she would be available on weekend but she ignored me <.<
Can't move to Paris only the weekend because of work!

^She probably has billions tweets all the time, she can't always see specific tweets...

I am also waiting for more info to be available, I hope I can go! Already looking for hotels~ but I don't know where to stay...

Is it possible she can be staying again on the same hotel she stayed at before,?

I don't think so,she has stayed at different hotels each time she was in London and the same in LA. But who knows...

Which one is the most expensive? :laugh
Start with that first

lol, Pommy, you're insightful as always xD

Yes.... thats true

Me too :( But the most value thing I wanna get is a photo with her :luv2 xD

I'm hoping to get both. I need some stuff signed and a picture with her. :3

Although I'll probably be content if I'll see her at all. This whole thing is quite nervewrecking to me. XD

I keep bothering people about this, I'm so sorry! XD But anyone who knows they'll be there, let me know - I'd like to send a CD for you to get signed for me when & if people meet her there. I've never been able to go to one of these meetups she plants the seeds for, and after 14 years I STILL have no ayu autograph yet - HUGE gap in my collection, you know? XD

Hahahaha Is a good idea, I want it too !! ^^

According to misa chan translation (you can read it in her blog),she will perform the song at the premiere!
Is there any way We can buy tickets or something to attend?

really? then I'm very excited for this show!!! so this is her very first performance is Europe! :D

If only I had the chance to go.. :weep

Yeah, I would actually appreciate if someone got an autograph for me as well! Just a piece of paper would do :D

@livey I'm actually planning to go,but I really would love to attend to the premiere,not sure if it is only for special people invited or if it is open to anyone who buy tickets

^ yeah :(

I think she has quite a lot of fans there right? So glad she's gonna perform, I'm very excited :)

Yay! :D

ok, this is... WOW! :thud I wish I was there so bad :(
I hope this song will turn into a hit in Japan!

anyway here it is:

"Hamasaki made the following comment with regards to theme song “Pray”. “I wrote the lyrics after reading all the original volumes and the movie script. Immersing myself in that unique world, I read the entire story all at once, and presented it in a song of my style.” She will perform the theme song at the premiere." (Source is Billboard Japan and translation is from misa chan blog: http://lettersfromayu.wordpress.com/)

So nice of ayu! I'm really curious how it will turn...will the song be epic or generic?..or maybe somewhere in between...I really like the preview, especially her voice. I really hope is not as short as Song For U....I wish she did a theme song for Bleach...:thud

I want a BIG HUGE GOWN with diamonds and crystals and a special stage outside the Louvre for her performance!!! Ughhhh

They hold movie premieres at the Louvre? How weird. I remember it took 3 visits to see most of that place...so I wonder in which obscure little corner this is going to happen....

What is the heck is your avatar? xD

I can't wait for the performance. I've been stuck on Pray for a while now. Her ballads always deliver... ALWAYS!

That news could mean that we can possibly get a hold of previews or even the whole version of PRAY by the 27th. And how great it'll
be if we can see the song performed live first than the studio version!

I still hope it will be released as a single and feature 2 PVs, one with movie shots and one with ayu :heart

I just suddenly have VERY high hopes for this song, please don't screw up this opportunity Ayu.

I REALLY hope she's gonna sing it well. Problem with live performance (beside her concert tour) she usually doesn't sound good. It would be shameful if foreign people who doesn't know Ayu attending that premier and listen to Ayu sing... not good enough. Worse if those foreign people are ministers of France and so.
Finger cross

My guess is Carrousel du Louvre.
The down room is quite big and it can definitely fit for a film's premiere.
Make me more and more want to assist to the premiere!! Too bad i work...

I disagree. Ayu sounds good, depending on the songs performed, most of the time.

Yeah, at least in recent tours and last a-nation' she was top notch most of the time. She sounded like how a singer should sound, but I'm not sure if she will sing Pray there.

what else should she sing? o.o

I'm excited! If only I could go...

wow! I've been to Louvre few times but now when im not in Paris and cant go to Louvre Ayu is going to be there!!

and wow excited for her to perform the song like really! wow Ayu should take this opportunity,sing it like a goddess Ayu

Agree! And she really sounds good singing her ballads lately.

LOL!!!

Maybe SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL lol


The more i listen to Pray preview, the more i love it. I really can't wait to hear the full song.
Don't give a damn about the movie though. Should be paintful to assist to the avant première lol

I need Pray now, I know her ballad will always get into Ayu is the Queen of powerful heartfelt moving ballad. I hope that we will soon get the full version after the premier at Louvre

I meant it serious, what should she sing when not Pray, I mean it is the song she wrote for the movie, why should she sing another song on this movies´s premier o.o

There is a cinema in the Louvre. I think she will perform on stage.
I don't find any information on its website.

Exciting news! I can't wait to see pics or clips of her performing!

I hope the fans record it!!!! I guess since it won't be in japan we'll get a fancam or something :D

And I hope they upload a clip of the premier+performance to her youtube channel. Get that promo ayu!

huuum on the article it's not exactly write that Ayu will sing Pray, the song will be introduce/reveal but we don't know if it's just full soundtrack or a live :/

(I really doubt that Ayu will sing in a conference room in front of journalist ! ) (But I hope!)

*dying*

Ayu the queen of ballads <3 cmon ayu sing pray for the international audience, be adored, discover that your future stays in A WORLD TOUR.

I doubt normal people can enter the premiere. It's probably just for journalists and other invited top-ranking folk.
So even if she sings it, we won't get much more than photos and maybe a short news clip.

Usually you guy buy tickets for some movie premiers, but since it's Louvre it could be different...

Oh ok... I find it odd she would perform for the premiere.

We know that Ayu has confirmed an appearance. Has she confirmed a performance?

No confirmation or information about a performance ! =)

According to Billboard Japan (and I found it on misa-chan's ayu blog) she will perform something. '_'

What Linza means is that Misa might have done a small translation mistake, it seems that nothing in Billboard Japan's article is saying that she will actually perform Pray.

It's a bit hard to tell. The verb used is the passive "ohiramesareru" which means "to be introduced" or "to be unveiled." Since the theme song was partially revealed in the movie trailer already, this could mean it'll be performed, but it could also just mean it'll be played in full for the first time.

YES! Lets make a big sign that says that and ship it to France, 'kay? :lech:lech
But to be serious, I might have a chance of going... argh don't want to get too excited...

I had this friend, she was in a similar situation (but not with ayu :P) and there was no way for her to get into Louver (?), not even near, there were bunch of cars and space reserved for guests (they were all famous one way or another) and even more space reserved to paparazzi... She was so disappointed, I'm afraid it will be like that. But I don't know, that's why I am having second thoughts. It' still alot of money to spend on staying in France, and omg, you have to get there and out somehow aswell, right??!! :thud I hate complicated things... :rolleyes

I'm dying to hear PRAY in full. I play the song (with lot of talking and distracting sound) again and again, i really can't wait for the full version!!!

yeahhh! but seriously, jokes aside, wouldn't it be nice to make a big poster or give her a book with our messages? We could do a thread here in ahs and someone who's going can take care of it çç just to make her see that we'd all like to be there and that her internation fans care a lot about her being here♥

I wonder if she will release a single for PRAY or not...

i think PRAY will do a better job on sales and on the chart, it's a pity if she is not releasing it as single.

The world premiere of the movie BUDDHA 2 in the Louvre (Paris) on the 27th of january won't be open to the public, it will be open only for people with an accreditation or invitations (deliver by the organisation) :/


Well ! I Hope she will give to us the name of her hotel like during her previous stay ! =)

I WANT AYU'S BALLAD SINGLE!!!@#@!#!@#!@#!#!@#@!#!@#

Me too >.< but i think we might be getting a new album announcement soon...
I will die if Pray end up being released as a digital single -.- It needs to be the lead song of her new album with tons of tv lives.

This. As long as I remembered, Ayu never performed in a movie premier that use her song as the theme.
No more words, Voyage, Fated, Heaven. Then again, I could be wrong.

^^

and don't forget "Secret" :)

She still did not confirm her arriving in Paris... hope we will get news very soon : people, do you know which French Site / forum will centralise all news concerning her coming ??? (Ayuangel is quite famous but maybe there are others)
I hope to meet her !!!

If I understand well the song will be available next monday ?

http://sp-m.mu-mo.net/specials/info/next_dist.html

That's correct!!!!

Exciting!!!

I hope we get more info about this soon! It'll probably be like How beautiful you are! Digital single

wooow! hope its true!!

1 week *--*

1 week but confirmed : access only by invitation (private party) : the Louvre information desk confirmed it... :( so sad !!!

Tu ne me croyais pas Eric ? ha ha ! ;)

Yes but you can try to win a invitation here !
(if people without french address win something and need help , don't hesitate to write me !)

Very surprising news about Pray ! I can't wait the official news and maybe... a cover ?

si si je te croyais Linza mais avec la news d'Adala pour les invitations (concours que j'ai tenté évidemment!) je pensais que tout compte fait ça allait être accessible au public...
Tu vas la voir à Paris ?? (on peut s'écrire en message privé)

Omg it says there's going to be a symphonical orchestra concert?? It would be so cool if Ayu performed in that one!!

I wish someone would post a translation of that french news :)
