[Translation] TEAMAyu blog: 14th January
 

Sick, but definitely still having fun! :yes

*Edits thanks to oji-i-san

₁ Mishii Beaute is a salon selling high-end therapy products. http://www.mishii.com/
₂ Mika Takahashi, the owner of Mishii Beaute. Mikarin is probably ayu's nickname for her.
₃ ayu calls it that, but I doubt that is its actual name. Judging by what she wrote, it was a massage session.
₄ Ofuro. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofuro
₅ Aojiru is a vegetable drink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aojiru

"Horny skin" should be changed to something... less suggestive, haha. I've always wanted to try Aojiru, since they play a lot of the Ryokko Aojiru commercials over here, but when I get the samples, I'm too freaked out by the "Ew! This tastes terrible!" comments that some have towards it... (like reactions towards Noni juice or something because it's apparently REALLY bitter) Thanks for the translation!

DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AYU. She looks so average and normal here! Almost like she popped out of the Depend on you single cover and stuck a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses on.

thank you Misa chan!!!! you're so fast :D

feel relief to see Ayu is having fun and she got her medicament and all those thing,hope she get well soon.

Ayu looks funny with Niiyan's Ray Ban :laugh and oh look at her face with red nose,poor Ayu

she cut her hair again,this mean this new CM with shorter hair? cant wait to watch it :P

Thanks for translating this. :)

Thanks for sharing! I wanna see ayu wear that high heels. Her nose looks red...poor ayu...

btw...is there suppose to be a pic for 'the scene of yesterday's filming'?

Thanks!!
OMG.. how i miss that look!!
really reminds me of ASFXX era!! (:yes depend on you)
how cute!!!

lol the eyes are a big giveaway though.

Her exact words were: 昨日の撮影現場にて

I guess "the place where filming was done yesterday" is probably a better translation... :yes Will change it. ^^

Misa chan, is Ayu wrote this message this morning? cos the date is 14th January, 2010 3:09am,

Probably yesterday morning... about 15 hours ago? Ayu blogs waaaaaaay too late at night when she's not busy with touring.

http://www.mishii-list.com/00sp/18/index.html
That 美力青汁 stuff seems pretty expensive for Aojiru... 30 packets for 5775yen, which is about a fifteen day / almost two week supply for Ayu! What an expensive drink! Though I guess the health benefits it has are worth it...

picture is funny! Thank you for translating happy message

wah..she's wearing glasses?her skin look like not so good.

wow...
i wonder who's going to move in with her...^^
ayayayyaa~

no wonder,ah she should sleep at that time,,ayu bloging at late nite is not good for your health,you got to have enough sleep.if me i'm just going to fall asleep in front of my pc :tired

hehe..she got more than enough $$ to buy that :P

She looks so different in that pic, hehe.

Oh no, she is still sick?! I hope, that she gets better soon!! I really wonder, how she can still go on working. Everytime I have a cold, I don't want anything else but my peace and my bed! ^.^''
GET WELL SOON, Ayu-chan!! <33 And please don't stay up so late. You NEED sleep!!

But doesn't she look sooooo cute in glasses?! *kawaii*
And these pink shoes are <3!!


Thank you for the translation!

she looks so normal...and funny..and look at her nose..so red...

Oh~what a natural look of AYU~XD!!Take care AYU!!^^

LOLOL her face, that expression :roflmao but aww her nose is all red :(
I'm glad she's taking care of herself..wow.. ayu should talk more about rubbing things on her body, I would like to hear a lot more about it..
/perv

Ayu looks so cute with those glasses :tipsy

and short hair = rock songs :D :heart :luv2

Except Depend on you Ayu would know better than to make that face to a camera... :thud

Thanks a lot misa-chan for the translation!!
love you lotssssss!!
and AYu looks soo cute on the pic with the glasses haha :D

unlike you I love to see these pictures of our real Ayu in her daily life, so thanks for sharing misa-chan ^.^
this photo reminds me of her quick interview with glasses near a store when she was 15:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWwR5densE8

GET WELL SOON AYU ~~
next month we'll be waiting for you in London :D lol

Haha wow that pic was really unlike Ayu. And with that I dont say that she looks bad or anything. She just looks really diffrent!

Thx for the translation! :)

ayu looked so "human" in that picture.... :) but she's cute as ever!!

I didn't even know she wears glasses lol... cute!

And those pink heels... whoa. @_@

OMG! you're rite! she looks like the same like in the interview where she was just 15! :yes

i looovee to see Ayu is being "Ayu" not "Ayumi Hamaski the idol" all the time cos she's a normal human being too,

Why's everyone "advertising" for M's Cosme? Jessica Michibata, Rinka, now Ayu.

Anyway, yah, Ayu looks young with glasses and no makeup. Who exactly is this person who wants to move in???

I like the pic with the glasses... looks funny.
SHe has short hair? Ahhh.. I really loved her latest Hairstyle. So.. might be interessting to see, which hairstyle she has now.

so cute. I hope she recovers soon, though! Thanks for translating!!!

She looks so cute in that pic :love

I hope that she will recover soon. >_<

I looked around for the name of the person in the picture with glasses... until I realized it was Ayu! She should never rock those glasses again. my name's WOMEN was enough, thank you.

Oh yeah! A new look *O*

That picture is nothing less than amazing :laugh

Thanks for sharing:yes

I loved the picture:heart She looks soo pretty ^o^
The shoe is awesome:P

Awww what a cute picture of runny-nosed Ayu!!! lol she's so great to post pictures like that!!
Thanks for posting!

Wow Ayu looks great for being sick! Thanks for the translations!

You have not seen many Japanese blogs then, have you? That face is like, a standard. Pretty much every single one of Ayu's photos that have her taking photos of herself has a face like that. Professional photoshoots are NOT the same as cutesy blog photos. Was Depend on you Ayu not allowed to be cute or something? She appears to disagree with you.

"Oh! Hay gurl? How you doin'?" "Ughhh! I'm siiiiiiiick!"

No one is moving in, from what I could understand. It sounded like she was just talking about someone coming in to take care of her until she got better, like a friend making soup for her and helping her around the house or something.

omg the pink heel shoe :heart
lol she looks really cute with those glasses :laugh

thanks for sharing

That "anti-bacterial water" sounds phony xDD I hope Ayu doesn't go for wierd unproven treatments especially if she's genuinely ill...

It's so nice that her whole staff offered to take care of her xDD If I were I'd jump at the chance! lol

I can only imagine poor Linda coming in and fainting when she thought she had to clean for the entire Team! Hahahaha, thanks for sharing this :)

get rid of horny skin LOL

Oh wow, looks like her cold is pretty bad, her nose is red. Hope she gets better.

She looks really cute with the glasses on.

Thanks for the translation

Seems like it's a big deal with Japanese female celebrities. It's part of some skin care regiment to cleanse the skin, haha. If it sells though, it must work to some degree, even though the product is called "magic water."

Thank you very much for the translation!
She really looks like herself (!) and I really like it!
There you can tell she's got real asian features and that she's not that freak appearing on magazines' photo-shoots.

she's so cute, wish her well

ooh the last pict dun really look like Ayu. Not used to see her in glasses. haha.
I hope she's fully recovered by now!!

Awww, I love ayu with glasses. She looks so dorky <333

her expression :roflmao
ur so cute ayu !!! :3
thanks for sharing

Oh, this shoe is so gorgeous! :heart And she looks cute, thanks for posting :)

AHHAHH she's so cute!

omg she says about going back to the past in her new album. And now black+short hair...reminds me of poker face totally!

I think Ayu is very pretty even without makeup, but she has, she looks stunning. There are certain singers where you wonder whether they'd be pretty without make up on, so this pic confirms that Ayu is! I hope she gets better soon.

Oops, I almost forgot about this...

Nice work , Misa-chan!!

For a topic or two which members here talked about, there may be another way of translating them.
=> Though I still have a co---ld, and though I wanted to transmit my cold to someone else (*) at the workplace as I said in my previous entry, ayu's entire staff ...

and
=> get rid of horny layer of skin ;)


(*) Japanese people sometimes say you can get well quickly from a cold if you transmit your cold to someone else (in other words, make him/her sick ^^; ). Of course this is a kind of joke. Is it only Japanese people who say something like this??

Again, I hope this helps :)

Thanks, I love her normal look as well, still cute!

That reminds me of an episode of Azumanga Daioh where the only way they got rid of a character's hiccups is by transferring them to someone else! Haha.

Is there some other word that could be used instead of horny for that description? Or is that literally what it's translated to? Perhaps it could be translated as rough/dead skin instead, since horny generally isn't used to describe skin texture...

(Psst, welcome to the forum, oji-i-san!)

Thanks! That sounds better. ;)

I guess crackly/dry skin works just as well. ^^

I want to have the same therapy if I will feel bad xD Recover Ayu, we want to see you healthy and full of energy and power.

She looks so funny in these sunglasses xD But even in this photo she looks so tired.

Arigatou for the translation - was fun reading it - aw poor ayu has a cold get better soon ^^

OH poor Ayu!!! :(

can understand her so well, hope these things help her...

i like her look, she should look like that more often

I can't wait for that - maybe I kind of like her look, but seems to be in competition (in my standards) with YUI (Yui Yoshioka) and Sayuri Sugawara...

But this image -
http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9497/80835650.jpg

Is she wearing eyeglasses, or is this glasses to just play around?

lmao @ horny skin...maybe meant to say oily?! lol
I love how ayu looks with Ray Ban, so goofy and young :D

I see. Thanks!
As you and Misa-chan mention, I think all of rough/dead/cracky/dry would work here. Anyway, what ayu says here is simple. It's like "this multi-purpose massage salt can remove unneeded, dead (or old?) part of your skin surface and make your skin smooth and bouncy like that of a baby."

hum, i guess the origiral term "角質" (角=horn, 質=quality, in this case) is used only in japanese cosmetic industy when it's related to skin texture.

Oh, thank you!! In this forum I enjoy finding ayu's past TV appearances and watching positive reacetions of ayu fans oversears :yes:yes

hardly believe that Ayu is that it is appear on the photo!xDDD
But I found her very cute!!!
Thanks for the info!

cute glasses she had on~!

Actually she said in an old interview (Ready Go! 2001-2002 something like that?) that she has a bad sight. There was this old interview (15 yo) when she wears glasses, and she always wears contact lenses as far as I know.

shes so cute with those glasses :heart

such a cute pic!! :D

:laugh
thanks for sharing!
we can see that she's really sick!
