Today as well,

I took in a lot of good things♪

http://i43.tinypic.com/qqoff6.jpg

However, I was sleepy this morning.

I kept low eyes (?).

http://i40.tinypic.com/oixjya.jpg

But in this case, I am an actress ♪ actress ♪ actresssss ♪

http://i44.tinypic.com/nwkm6h.jpg

Because this guy is always acting like a child, he decided to do a pose

http://i39.tinypic.com/25p34wo.jpg

He is such a character. (?)

That reminds me, last night (early this morning???) Chon-san, as I said I would, went to all of the rooms for a surprise attack!　Though I took a picture of it, I will keep it a secret. *laughs*

But I was certainly very happy ♪

Because I took a rest, I wasn't able to sleep. So I plugged in my headphones and watched a dvd of "24" that was put there by chance. But when I played it, it was at full blast and I jumped *laughs*

That's the end of that story...

Alright, now it's time to move on and change topics.

The next location is this place.

http://i39.tinypic.com/291c80h.jpg

It's a bar that faced the ocean ♪

Suuuuuuch a goooood feeeeeeeeeeeling ♪

Everyone of the staff members was in high spirits.

Anyway, these two were so cute

http://i39.tinypic.com/azao75.jpg

It was Gyo-chan and Gori.

Well, now it's time for dinner for Ayu's team!

see ya'! meow

I tried to make it make more sense, so I might have added/removed some stuff to improve the flow and make it understandable.

At some points I wasn't too sure about what ayu was trying to say...And about the two guys that she thought were acting cute, I didn't understand that (not that it's really that important...haha)

But if anyone sees that I did something wrong, please tell me~ I'm not fluent in Japanese haha!

Enjoy~

Yeay!! Thx 4 the translation and pic!! Bali is COOL!!

Agashi, where is it!!

Oh ohh. Ayu acting? This could be painful.

Also this is just a small thing but could you please put the entry number in the title of the thread in the future. Sometimes I end up rereading entries ive already read because I forget which titles ive seen before.

first photo is really funny ^_^ thank you~

she doesn't put the entry numbers anymore because of the new blog format...but I can out the date?

OMG.... kawaii~~~
she's in BALI
*still can't belive it >_>~

thankss!!
she looks really tired..

@micster
Her diary now doesn't have number like TA message...

Cool. o_o
Where's she though?
Haha. I havent really been keeping up with the entries. :P

Thank you!

She looks like a gyaru princess or something lol~

And that gross picture. Is that Kazuyoshi Shimomura???!!!

i love her hair <3...
ayu is addicted to blogging now XD

her facial expressions reminds me of all the gyaru models XD

is that her new PV hairstyle???? the tropical looking wan....
and no dancers!

From the flower she bit, she looked in Bali for sure XD
Why does she looked so tan? Is it that summer hotness PV?? And acting again?
Well, I hope this PV would do great :yes

P.S
Wait....isn't that posing man...Shimoko!?

Thank you!

"But when I played it, it was at full blast and I jumped *laughs*"

:roflmao I would really like to see ayu doing a fright jump hehehe so cute!!!
She looks adorable as always.

really? *dies*
no right? LOL

thanks for posting!!!

Ayu looks so cute >.<

as much as I love new material....but without her dancers....i can only imagine Ayu lazing around...singing....a midtempo summer ballad.... =.=

haiz....

You guys do realize that she's referring to the director who must not be named, right? (MW, GREEN)

no . . . NO . . . NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ok lol i confirm its Hawaii.. :P

thank you!
I think they shoot something beautiful like fairyland and blue bird

omg. Shimomura. :thud :weep

:thud for real?? :thud jeez, he direct the PV again??


okay, that place is BVLGARI private beach...:D

No no no!! *Sparkle's style*

-you-know-who- sigh...

THAT GUY...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I do like her a-nation '09 bear phone 'charm' aka huge plushie..

my god..................NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! that stupid he-who-must-not-be-named is along...ah this PV is ruined :bawl RIP the PV that would've been great if not for him...

=_= my mission to killed that guy was failed...

i hate the weird faces she's making. it reminds me of the 14 year olds on myspace
oh well, i'm willing to give the PV a chance since it's filmed in such a beautiful place! i just hope it's not all acting

cool pics, thanks for posting !

ayu looks happy and that's the most important thing...

c'mon ayu.. we want to see the pic of the surprise attack :D LOL

Maybe she's not filming a PV...but a FILM. :P

She's gorgeous in that last photo.

or the majority of Japanese people, especially girls, when they take pictures of themselves...*shrug*

And her style is reminding me of the cover for Leah Dizon's "L.O.V.E. U" single~



And although I don't think his PV's are the greatest, maybe the scenery will make up for it. And maybe he improved...maybe.

^ Leah Dizon looks really awkward in that photo.

I don't think Shimomura is that bad...:S
Not at all tbh.

I smell Fairyland Episode III: The Revenge of the Gosh-awful Director. -_-

But at least Ayu's having fun!

... no no noooooooooooo

Btw her facial expressions are really funny lol.

Just an FYI about that Leah Dizon shoot: It was done by Leslie Kee, the guy who shot Secret, Memorial address, MY STORY, and a bunch of Ayu's AMAZING album booklets.

It's good to see the original Japanese text as well^^

Shimomura = disaster

:cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

WTF....this totally sucks! :irked

ayu looks cute with the flower in her mouth pic. thanks for the pics.

at truehappiness: dunno if you were talking to me directly, but yes, i knew that :P

it's so strange that there hasnt been ANY official announcement. like i feel as if this should have atleast an announcement of "new single" sometime soon o_O.

unless she's just gunna be like WHAM release date new single new cover tracklist pv all in one. haha

Since it's shimomura's first direction of a summer song PV it might be good and it won't be another fairylandish PV most likely and might have different things since the director is different.
People might be positively surprised... or the other way though hopefully not.

(Yeah go away shimomura! though I hope he improved and he will surprise with the PV ...)

I still liked that MW and Sparkle were good :)
GREEN's execution was hilirious. xD

I wish he would stop making ayu look like a diva >_<
she acts nothing like that, unless he's directing a PV for her.

where exactly is she at again? *___*
glad shes updating with pictures lately thanks for posting :D

Oh is the hair she is with in the middle pic is from the PV?
If so it's already a good start. :)

Yeah what's taking avex so long?
Will it be released on August? T_T

And doesn't she usually shoot a PV after the announcement? (which makes one think there might be more PV/s to shoot and songs to record?) I sure would wish it would be a 3/4 A-side but small chance I guess.
I want an announcement already...
I remember that a lot of the announcements were on Saturdays (if I'm not wrong) so maybe tomorrow? Or maybe when ayu will be back to Japan ._.

i think he's trying to live his life through her, he's the one who seems like a "diva" himself

And that's strange she doesn't put him off her.
Maybe ayu's management really likes what he does for her PVs?
I don't know it's strange, they must be convinced that what's he doing with her PVs are great promotional features or something I don't know...
ayu said herself (not that she doesn't like him) but that he makes her do stupid things (though maybe it was specifically for the Sparkle PV).
Maybe she thought it would be fun I don't know.
I still will give him a chance to make something clear and 100% good.
I actually liked Sparkle's PV and MW's idea was really good though his execution was a bit off, not as bad is in GREEN though.

I think the second and third photos are for the cover... this tan is fake... you'll see it if you compare with other pics...

and OMG...again Shinomura... well... he's alwais going to shoot overseas... Paris... Shanghai... now Bali... except Sparkle...


and well.. if you want it:

Thank you walking.proud!
So the covers have already a good start :love

So if those are the covers and she's also going to shoot another PV so the shoots from a few days ago with the hime gyaru (and the handcups?) look was for another PV?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HE IS DIRECTOR AGAAAAAAIN AAAAAARGH! *dies*

PS: Thank you so much for all the updates and sreencaps ; )

>_>...is ayu using him again coz he's cheaper? 2 in 1 photographer and 'director' :rolleyes....he is such a diva wannabe.

She looks so different! Maybe it's the angel of the pictures...?

The thing about actress is not her acting..

The actress, actress, actress is joyuu, joyuu, joyuu,
Which they always say before doing some big concert, to make their spirits up!!

Maybe there's a bit of mistake in translation, but overall, the message is conveyed~

I am so excited for this new style!!! I cannot wait for the single~~~

You-know-who make the PVs o.O Nooo!!

I think i know why'd ayu's say nonono in Sparkle. She doesn't want to act stupidly in the PVs. So she sing, "no no no!"
And she didn't like you-know-who, "no no no!" again xD

Lol...

But iam happy, no Shuya!

@shineestar
She's in Bali, Indonesia xD

AH!! THanks for the translation and pics :) I wonder what's going on O_O I haven't been keeping up with the posts Looks like I'll be reading alot today :D

she's so funny! writing in a diary about jumping because of a loud noise. ^___^

Shimomura?

........................


FRICK.

lol I say it all the time, but ayu is just TOO CUTE!!!

Oh no..bad director choice!! Hope the PV won't be a bummer as her other summer videos or videos directed by Shimomura. There's just something about these two things that just don't get me hooked.
The 2nd and 3rd picture reminds me so much of Paris Hilton in a way.. don't know why though.

thanks for sharing
She is so cute

Whats wrong with the director? Other than not seeing a clear storyline....I enjoyed the MW and GREEN PV's....and Ayu looked gorgeous in both. This guy knows his lighting. He just tries to squeeze too many shots in, killing the storyline. It'll be interesting to see what Ayu comes up with next though...

Many Thanks for sharing!!

Ayu is a beautiful flower on the beach *-*

yeah i think that's exactly his problem.

he puts in random scenes, that are usually really beautiful that leave the audience wanting more of those scenes (lingerie scene from MX, white dress/purple background from green, seiko-ayu & ayu lying on the shiny red silk in sparkle *well, maybe I just wanted more of that scene...) or maybe i just want more from those scenes.

and it's a good point that this is his first summer pv. maybe he's a PV genius when it comes to those xDDD

maikaru: at the joyuu joyuu, thank you... i really had no idea what that meant o_O.


*walking.proud, what makes you think this is the cover as opposed to a pv? just wondering xD i'm not sure what it to think it is yet haha~ though i like the look either way :P

NO WAY!
:thud

That guy again???
Anyways, I wish he would do something much better this time or else...

Thanks for sharing! ;)

omg so many diary enetries and pics~~sugoi~~

she looks tired but cute XD

thanks for sharing

OMG!!! that director... he directed sparkle, right?
its really weird that her dancer is not coming too, i mean her summer PV always has her dancer on it... (except glitter)
indonesian balinese, do you where is that? cafe that face the ocean?
everytime i see her pics in bali, i feel so guilty, bali is near (its in different island, but its part of my country) but i still can't go there and hunting her...hahaha...

i like the indian style she has in one of the pics :luv2

aww~ she snaps photo out of the mirror~

That IS the major problem.

What's the point of squeezing many things inside if it doesn't work at all? Let's say I have a bunch of beautiful jpegs, and I combine them together and form a gif. The gif still have beautiful scenes, but I find out that there are too many scenes, and they are so disjointed. It's not a good gif at all. This can apply to this guy. He could be a good photographer (well actually we dun even know if he's a good one), but he's not a good video director since he just RANDOMLY puts things in between, and makes the videos weird.

In addition, I sincerely HATE the way he told ayu to act. There are many smoother, better ways to act like a diva . But he chose the worst type... telling ayu to exaggerate her acting while walking down the street in GREEN. Then, again in Sparkle he told ayu to pose "stupid poses" (according to ayu). Not to mention that the scene transitions in both pvs are very bad.

I rather hope the other guy (the one who did BF/BLUE BIRD/momentum/Days, etc.) to direct the pv. At least he has hit or miss. Unlike Shimomura, everything is a miss.

he.. I always hate how japanese girl love to take sumthing like the 2nd photo.. and now she did it.. errgh

and since they changed their website's layout, she attached too much self potrait pictures in which her poses are kinda.. humm.. makes her too normal (in common japanese girl-normal sense) for a hamasaki ayumi.. don't you guys think?

I actually like how she's a very natural idol. Not afraid to show her fans her true nature/looks!

Anyways thanks for the updates!
I hope a single will be announced soooooooon!

man she make head gears accessories look so hip

thanks for the updates

THIS!

The reason that I hate Shimomura is because of this "Diva" thing.
Hope he will show some improvments.

^aghh...that's the point, he always make ayu looks like a diva...
we need something down to earth pv like days...although i don't think we will get something like that this time

The last picture doesn't even look like Ayu. But Ayu is doing another acting video eh? I hope it turns out really good. ;)

can not sleep last night
still can not accept ayu in Bali but i can not go there

can not sleep

~_~
AYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

oh my

oh my

^same here...
but its kinda hard to know where she go stay, where she go, even agashi that live there, is giving up to track her...
wondering why she not telling us directly that she is at bali...
usually she telling us directly where she go...

Great another crappy summer PV.

The pics look good, and wow, shooting new pv, sounds good!

lol, ayu's extremely huge eyes :laugh
i should watch 24 xP

ah... nothing special XDD I mean.. It can be perfectly the same costume for cover an PV... who knows... but the first time I saw those pictures came immediately to my mind the cover of "&", where she also appears tanned, and also the cover from "Voyage" that is also very ethnical... ^^

is that reallly really in bali?????????????????????????

Whhaha.. so mysterious..

Thanks for these! that last pic of ayu looks so different!! I can't wait for more info on this new single

so this HAWAII or BALI??

^BALI...

OMG...Its that director again...OMG

The pv would be very fuuuuuuuuuuny again......

OMG..........

she look so cute!
thanks for sharing =)

her face looks wierd..
but she looks cute and natural

can they pls hire a new director! T-T someone out there wants to work with ayu as well.

I love how she's taking all of these pictures. It feels like she's letting us into her private life, a more discreet side of Ayu, more. :)

Thanks!

I hope this PV would be the best work of this director (trully speaking my hope in him dies after seeing his new work).

Thanks for posting and translating.

Ayu's leaving a trail of pics for us to find her ^^

I'd love to see those surprise attacks pics haha

thanks for the translation!.. meow =^.^=

I like Ayu taking photos of herself like tat.. hehez.. her phone is cute with the bear hanging there! lolz.
Ayu's eyes are sure BIG with the close up picts. O_O

hmm ~
i heard she live in bvlgari villa ~

lol if she tell us that she's in Bali her holiday will end up 'unpeacefully' XD
i believe we'll shout 'ayuuuuu~~!!!!' all the day ~~ :D

ayu is so bohemian and...tanned

I'm sorry, but I really detest these gyaru-esque pictures of herself. She looks like that girl on YouTube that doesn't speak. :P
I just wish Ayu would take pictures as herself.

OMG OMG OMG OMG
I'm an Indonesian and i CAN'T go to Bali!!!
my city now (Yogyakarta) is an island apart from Bali

i have EXAMS!!!
oh God i feel so helpless!!!
ayu is so near and i can't reach her!!!
*cries
