Editted by oji-i-san

Oh I was to late. x_x
Thank you Misa-chan : )

thanks for the translation! she looks so cute, love her hair and fashion <3

She's in London now, or what?

Is it -6 in London? I don't think it's that cold right? If she really goes to London, I hope she stays there a little longer, since I have exams atm, and cannot go. *wuah*

So soon ? o__o i hope she's not in London right now...
where the hell she must be ? XD "where it's -6 degrees out"... everywhere in Europe in that case ! lol

and i love her hair too *.* reminds me her MY STORY era...

No, no Germany is warmer. At least the part of Germany where I live. But she has no reason to visit us anyway, so I think London is the safest bet. Or maybe New York?

it's damn cold in UK now days :P and the limo driver wouldn't lie to us, would he xD

I wonder where she is. the description fits a billion places.

love her hair!

didn't see this translation thread...I'm glad she's not going to hawaii again...but she better dress up warm!

Thanks for the info, i wonder where AYU is going ~XD

Hopefully she's in London?

That was my first thought =)

According Yandex, she's not in Europe and USA. Only Canada fits the description XD

it's about -6 in Croatia ;) xD :P

anyways... love her hair :luv2 can't wait to hear those new rock-tunes the short hair brings with it :D :yes

Thank you for posting!
looks like Ayu is enjoying the escape, hopefully things will calm down meanwhile...

+ yup nice hair & fashion

short darkish hair, i love it!!:heart

thanks for translation ^^

Omg she has cut her hair just like I cut mine a few days ago! :heart Can't wait for more info about her trip.

O_O CANADA! COME TO MONTREAL AYU! LET ME SEE YOU!!!

but if she's going to London... what's about our FanBook ?! =O we're not ready at all !

nice translation. and gorgeous hair.. XD
i think she's going to London, which has already been rumored... XP

few weeks ago London was covered with snow, even flights in Heathrow or Stansted airport were cancelled... so I'm 99% sure she's coming to London, question is how long is going to stay there? @_@

That's so cool! Has she mentioned yet what she's going to DO in London (if thats actually where she is)? I hope it's prep for the new album!

And as always, thanks for the translation!

thanks a lot misa-chan!
i wonder where is she heading!
can't wait to read more diaries!

thanks a lot misa chan,i love to know what ayu is doing now,specially she just left Japan this monink *0*

love her hair and happy to see that,well at least she's happy despite of all the news XD Go girl! <333

PS: i realize that ayu's cuter lately,lol...

EEEEHHHH!!!!

Omg. Yes, I just had a heart attack.


OK CALM DOWN NEFF! Lmao

I live in Canada. I don't understand why she would come to Canada.

Front page of this tells how much it is in Canada today: http://www.meteomedia.com/ (Sorry it's in french.... lol but you can still see the map)

Normally this time of the year it's -20C in where I live. The weather has been warmer the past few days...



But... I'm still thinking she's going to Europe.

QUICK! Someone find that limo dude and get the scoop!!! XD

Where in the world is Ayumi Hamasaki?
She's going to London :D lol I guess.
Not Italy because -6° it's pretty hard to reach now:laugh

btw thanks for sharing & translation :heart

where has she come ? in london? she's kawaiii**

@Neff, you're so funny ^___^

ah,Ayu love to play hide and seek with us XDD

apparently japanese people are talking about the possibility of canada more so than london, based on the current temperatures. but i dont really care... haha

im in neither of those places :P

I don't understand why she would come to Canada though...

If she really is coming here, I would guess Vancouver is most likely. It's closest to Japan. BUT! In Vancouver, it's warmer, it's more like +6C.

If she comes to Quebec or Ontario, I will hunt her down +w+ I SWEAR!!

Everyone in Montreal and Toronto! LETS GOOOO!! lol

My mother came to Tokyo to see Ayu with me... surely she won't mind driving me around the city to find her, right!?!? Loooll

Thanks for sharing! I might have to wait and see, because I don't know where she is - but she may be in London...

But I've just heard that she flew JAL and earlier JAL has declared some kind of chapter 11 bankruptcy!!! How ironic was that...

The part of Germany where I live had -7 today

^so you reckon she will come to your part of Germany then? :)

Well...its highlly unlikely for her to come to Germany xD But I think there are parts of every european country that are around -6 at the moment

OMG... Oslo norway... -6 today. I'm going to call the Japanese embassy right away!

http://www.yr.no/sted/Norge/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo/

why is it NEVER -6 here in the part where i live ???? :( :( :(
omg it's soooo unfair, i want -6 right now so i can hope ayu can come!

mr. weather, can you please drop to -6 just for today ? thanks :D

but the guy said ayu won't come to london before the end of the month no ??? :o
so maybe she's going somewhere else before heading to london in february ?
or she just changed her plans and don't go to london anymore ?

ayuuuuu please tell us if you're still coming to london!!!!!!:love

I'm gonna die... why Ayu, why now?? why you have to come always when I have exams! why!?

And that guy of the limousin, where are you!?? XDD you said she changed her plans of coming to London for later!! XDD

no... where are you Ayu?? London is at +6ºC now... so it's not London...

well. for sure you can make a cross over Spain... we are at 11ºC so...

OMG.. and the book thing...

okey.. let's calm down... well... if she's in london now... I hope she will be there for some weeks... yeah.. that one with the utada concert... that one, please...

T_____T


now Berlin (or north of germany) has -6... and also in Stockholm... -8 in Olso...

btw... I love her look, she looks so beautiful and her hair is also niiiice!! It's great what she said, that she was fully working with her music (or whatever artistic-wise xD) and that great thing have come out... wanna hear everything!

yeah, we want news from the limousin driver please!

i wanna know if she's still coming to london ?
or changed her schedule and decided to go somewhere else ?
pleaaase ayuuu come to london! hope it's not canceled :(

and why don't you prefer 10° ? it is so much better than -6... oh...
i wish it could be -6 right now here....

haha it's like Ayu is Carmen Sandiego xD

The temperature was -6 in Oslo when Ayu posted the message :)

I'm 90% sure she's in London.
You can see here the flights http://www.narita-airport.or.jp/ais/...inter_dep.html
at the 7th block, the third flight, JAL to London, and it's after she make the post.

Can't we see the photo of the board pannel in better quality?

The driver won't be able to give any information on Ayu's trip because he finally won't be her driver in London unfortunately.

Maybe she is in Zurich now! Wuhu XD

I think she comes to Europe but so as sayd not to LONDON BECAUSE IT IS TO COULD.
I think she goes more to the north but, is still are hoping for Amsterdam:)

OMG London... The our Book! Will we be at time? ^^'

i'm very curios to know where she could be...

I love the whole guessing game, it's so exciting when she travels :D

Though it would be more convenient if she just said where she was going...

OH MY GOSH I JUST REALISED.

THIS IS TODAY. TOMORROW I AM GOING TO LONDON. IT JUST CLICKED. I DON'T WANT TO GO TO MY UNIVERSITY INTERVIEW. T___T

Please let it be London, but it's no way -6 here, has been though. :D I'm so hassling my friends to come to London at the weekend. Maybe she's exaggerating?! Maybe...eeek! Maybe she's going to Germany or somewhere, then to London?! I think I'm being a little irrational here.

edit: I did some maths, if she's come to London, she should have arrived in London around 2/3PM local time, assuming Gatwick/Heathrow, that's up an hour at customs, half a hour baggage >__> More for her most likely. If she's in London and posted from a hotel, I'd expect a post around 6/7/8PM! I think I'm wishing to much.

She is so cute in the first picture! :D

I want her to come to Germany.. please Ayu.. :P
But this would be too good to be true. :laugh

She said something about business, didn't she? And this whole oversea things..
I know the chance is like gone by now but I want the dates (that she will hopefully add to her AT10) to be european ones.. :P
(Yeah, I know I know. Most likely it will not happen. But I am still dreaming.)

Ayu! Welcome to Londonium. <3

Lol!

Avex found out that the limo dude driver gave out information about Ayu's where-abouts so they fired him!! XD

^ They do right. :P

oh no please no... T____T why?

*dies*

It happened with Paris, I have exams!!

If that's true... now that seems that the driver can't tell us anything (poor guy -_____-) I can only hope she will still be there the week of Hikkis live 6/02 to 15/02 (but i'll have to cancell my ticket... oh Ayu ¬¬)

ah man, he got fired lol
I hate the guessing game....I hope she's going to london..
if so, I hope the fanbook will be done just in time :)

She's on Antarctica! LOLz!

I bet she's either on U.S.A. or Canada or Great Britain. ">_>
This one gives me a cliffhanger!

You people are taking her "-6 degrees" comment too literally. She was just trying to say that it's going to be freezing wherever she's going, doesn't mean that the exact temp on her day of arrival would be around -6. But last week it was indeed freezing cold in the UK.

Most likely she's in London... for recording, Rimmel, all possible.

What's that story with the limo driver?? From what country? I don't get it.

Lol, I was just making fun of it.

The story with the limo driver is that he told some source (I believe it was ayu-angel) that Ayu was supposed to go to London in January but that it was cancelled (I'm assuming it was early January). He was her limo driver when she was in Paris for Mirrorcle World, he was the one giving the info to the fans so they could go and see Ayu while she was in France.

But.. one week ago, it would be possible, don't it? But well.. she will not come here, I think!

I'm super curious about what country she visits. It is most likely Great Britain, because that was where her trip was originally planned, but it does not fit with the specified temperature.... so much is probably still possible.

I hope it's a new update on TeamAyu before I wake up tomorrow morning. ^^

Oh ok... it's the same guy. But I still don't get how he had news from ayu as she's not going to Paris but London? How can he be related to that?
I'm not calling anything into question, it's just that I don't see the link ^^"

Wasn't it -6 degrees at that time in London?
If so, it's very natural that ayu said -6 degrees!

I tracked down the limo driver and asked him about it, after I read the post on Ayu Angel. He told me that he was contracted to be her driver for all of Europe, but that Avex had messed him around so much cancelling and rescheduling that he cancelled the contract completely. He said that Ayu booked with a London limo company now. So she must be heading to London.

Ah, so he was sick of being rescheduled and such... makes sense now.

And so, we've lost the source that gave us leads on where she was in Paris in 2008... I wonder if the other driver will come out and say something? Haha.

^That seems so unlikely unfortunately... it puzzles me why that driver went out with the info in the first place, since he said he wasn't a fan of hers.. just cause he was nice?

QUICK! Someone track down her new limo driving dude!!

Lol XD

I imagine what happened was that he was curious about who he was going to be driving, and found the Ayu-Angel forum via Google or something, and started posting about what'd happen from there.

I think it's kind of suspicious that this limo driver leaks this info about Ayu being in London or whatever, then all of a sudden he..."cancels his contract". I'm sure they get paid good money just to drive celebrities around. I think he may have been forced to quit or resign (whatever) if avex found out about him leaking the info to fans. Isn't that against policy or something? I'm sure it's in his contract to be confidential.
Well anyway. I am excited to find out where she will end up.
*sings*Where in the world is...Ayu-mi-Hama-sa-ki~!

If I remember well, that's what exactly happened. It was the first French website he found about Ayu. He just wanted to let the fans know, to not miss this opportunity...

How did you manage to track him down? Did you asked Ayuangel's webmistress or something like that? I'm just being curious :P

Stuff probably found his posts/username on the French Ayu forum. Didn't he post in the forum at first?

ah~ so we're finally getting somewhere, step by step

Well, I checked the forum and there is no messages from the driver, just the news from the webmistress coming from a (I quote) "source". So there's any direct message.
I believe he directly contacted the admin.
That's why I was suprised to learn (some hours ago) that her French driver was involved in that story. I also thought this driver belonged to the French hotel that Ayu liked. But it seems in not the case if he was to drive her in Europe.

So Ayu MIGHT be in London? I wonder how she plans on spending this trip? Is it a small vacation or work?

ayu's probably jet-lagged, or extremely busy. no TEAMAyu updates yet lol!! XD

^ She might be sleeping right now. Its only 4am in the morning at London....if she's at London!

yeah and she better not be in France again!
London is cheaper for me to get to :P

I'm just so excited right now :laugh
come on Ayu... post something! ;)

oh, there's a new post by ayu!
Let's wait for Misa-chan's new translation ^^

She added more hints:
* it is about noon. (She posted it 20:42 japan time.)
* it is +1 degree.
* she heard that it is going to snow.

cant wait for another message,sounds like she's in France again..^

^ post it - post it! ^^

@ Stuff = are u sure??

+1 degree Celsius? About 30+ degrees Fahrenheit? Noon in London time is 9 o'clock PM in Japan time (she posted the message at 8:40PM apparently)... And it's going to snow in London!

She's totally over there, haha. But what is she going to do there!?

I've been searching everywhere, contacting every company, like a mad woman lol. I contacted the Japanese embassy in London to ask if they were expecting Ayu to come (they said they hadn't heard, but that she wouldn't necessarily tell them if she was coming). I contacted JAL asking them for info about Ayu's flight, but they had a confidentiality rule. I searched for the alias of the French limo driver that ayu-angel mentioned, as well as the word "limo driver", and found a member of a French forum related to cars in which there was a member with the same username as the guy's alias, and on his profile it said that his occupation was limo driver and his country was France. I joined the forum, but didn't speak any French, so I used a weird Google translator thing to compose a message for him. It turned out that he was the guy I was looking for. He replied in English and was very nice and kind. When I said sorry for taking up his time with this matter, he said: "Don't worry! I only wish I could be of more help to Ayu's fans!"

I'm currently in the process of contacting Limo companies in London asking if they know anything lol. It's a long shot, but I'm a crazed fan. :D

^ really?
and how about the AHS Fanbook?
has somebody (in England) printed it yet?

^good luck...just wait until there is more update from TA...

whoaaa~ @ Stuff you're really awesome! ganbatte ne for tracing Ayu ^ ^ c'est vraiment genial ca!

LOL WOAW!

You've got a lot of drive and motivation! Go go to find Ayu!! *cheers on*

I highly doubt any limo company will give out informations.

Like someone else said in the other thread (truehappiness I think?): it sounds more like that limo driver from France was fired for giving out Ayu's where-abouts and information. I'm sure it's all in their contracts to be confidential when they drive celebrities around...

haha @ Stuff
I was already thinking about how someone should check the incoming JAL flights and contact Limo services and stuff..
.. and how much work it is to do all that, but I'm soo glad you did all that and more!!
you're awesome! :D

@Stuff

Haha that's a crazy story :D
This guy is really kind to let people informed about Ayu's trip to Europe because he is not a fan (or was not?) haha.

Don't worry guys! I'll go to London and find her myself! lol I'll visit Rimmel, famous recording studios, landmarks and tourist attractions, ask around Heathrow for people who saw her.

Nothing can stop me now!

Stuff on the ultimate quest to find Hamasaki Ayumi!~~

You are my hero! :love ^^

OMG *-*

wanna be there with you and find Ayu, but I can't T____T!!!

please let us know if you find out something... If I'm are sure of where she is i'll be taking a plane... if not I can't go there to explore London XDDD

But I would do like you if she was in Barcelona... XDD Though I've been in London before and so I would feel a bit lost there... XDD

Take a taxi and go everywhere shouting: AYUUUUUU! we are looking for youuu!!! XDDD hahahaha joke.... She would hide imediately "how crazy fans here" xDD

yeeaaaaah! you're A-W-E-S-O-M-E :yes

I don't know why but the first thing that popped into my head was that could be staying at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park Hotel or some of those luxury Hotels in Park Lane ^^'

Yes, I think the best thing wld be to call up the 5 star hotels in inner London.

As soon as we can find her I'll print it. 0_o

Calling up 5 star hotels in London sounds like the best thing to do! :D

Stuff, when are you going to London? Make sure you post updates for us, because I'm going to go and I want to see her. Let us know anything, please!!

Anyone want to do a little AHS-meet-Ayu thing and I don't know... ambush her and sing something like "Who..." in English? XD

^

We should sing Butterfly LOL.

^LOL XDDD

If I could be there I would want to sing a recent song... like MY ALL... I don't know but I feel as she listens a lot of times fans singing who and a song for xx XDD you know... to broke with the routine XDD
