Oooo So quiet!! [London AHS meetings - autographed items]
 

Hmmm it seems like AHS has been crashing a lot less ever since Ayumi flew back to Japan haha... xD... Maybe it's me lol...

But yes :) I really hope this opportunity comes again. I thought I’d make this thread to thank every single AHS person that came to London… It was very nice and grateful to be able to meet you all. Whether you were someone who came later in the week or someone that stayed for the whole 10 or 11 days! xD… It was awesome to be able to meet people on this Forum...

Things like this don’t always happen and it seriously was a pleasure to be able to see Ayumi as well as people on this forum… Either way I hope that opportunity will come back again soon and really hope I will be able to meet you guys again! As well as the Langham hotel staffs… Can’t miss those guys out can we now? ;)

Hahaha :mischief

Having said that I thought it'll be nice to see what everyone actually got signed by Ayumi or any other staffs during this trip... Please do share :)... No Ayu Photos... Just the things you got signed! xD.. Unless you got an Ayu photo taken and got that signed too! :shakehead

Thank you Ianieee for all the sms, you helped me and my boyfriend alot!
And thank you to all the others, it was really great to meet you all and talk about ayu!!!
Hope we can meet again. : D

I only managed to get down there once, but was lucky enough to get my you were.../BALLAD signed

I will miss all this... Ayu being in London was a dream in so many ways that I think post-Ayu depression must be affecting at least 50% of AHS right now XD

Here you got mi signed stuff^^

I only saw Ayu three times, and the third day I just wanted to concentrate on looking at her and memorizing her face, you know, to really believe it was HER, so I didn't bring anything for her to sign, I just gave a letter to her... And she told me "thank you" with those eyes... Well I'll stop talking haha. I'm really glad to have shared this experience with all of you, specially the ones who were there the days I was. And very specially I want to thank Aura, the other Catalan crazy one who caught a flight to London with a complete stranger XDDDD

We have to repeat this =)

^ you are all so lucky

I envy you

I wish I could meet ayu one day and get stuff signed....

These 2 weekends I've been in London to see Ayu together with other Ayu fans has been absolutely wonderful. Getting to see Ayu so real and so human is something we will cherrish forever. I hope this opportunity will come again some day. But this was indeed a once in a lifetime experience.
Anyway, here's my signed stuff: My Countdown Live banner, Arena Tour 2007 fan, DAYS/Green single and personal autograph.

And yes, we have to an international meeting again! (haha, Ayu only left London yesterday, and we're already talking about meeting up again ;p)

HAha meeting up again... That would be awesome xD lol... There will be a lot of us this time meeting all at once! xD

Last but not least.... Stan-Chans Signiture!!!! hahaha

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...433_110859.jpg

Sorry for the double posting... But I’m just thinking... Now I’ve actually met and seen Ayu in Real Life... I can't seem to watch her concerts because it's just too different xD... I don’t know ...During my train ride to go back home... I was trying to watch the Future Classic Concert and like when I saw Ayu on my Laptop, I can't stop but keep thinking.... I only just saw her in Real Life less than 24 hours ago! xD... It's sooo weird and strange... haha... Maybe it's just me and I’m still soo hyped up I met Ayumi Hamasaki! xD

OMG you guys are so lucky! :cry

I wish I lived over there and had the chance to meet her!

Maybe now she'll do a concert over there? :D

Haha, it's so tiny and cute! :laugh

Don't worry it's not just you, same deal has happened to me XD She seems so much real to me now as a person - not that she wasn't before obviously, but when one watches Ayu in PVs and in concert for so long, believing that there's a 0.01% chance of ever meeting her, and then by chance you do end up meeting her... it is really quite surreal! I feel like we've been truly fortunate to see a more up close and personal side of Ayu, and she's really genuine! Just as delightful in person as she is up on stage. It's good to know that she's true to herself and to her fans :)

And yes, international Ayu fan meet-up would be awesome! I do miss hanging around outside The Langham with everyone!

And my autographed book! <3

Glad that some of you peoples get a chance to meet her, get a autograph, and have a photo opportunity her. For that, I envy all you people.

Most of us, like me, still wishing and dreaming of meeting or go to see her concert. But, times will come when we all going to have opportunity to meet her like you people did.

you guys who got to meet Ayu are the luckiest fans in the world!!

Oooh this is a great thread! Its fun to see everyones signed stuff!

Im sooo happy for you all!!! :heart

i feel it and i wasn't even there! after checking ahs constantly thru this whole thing, now i'm kind of left feeling like i don't know what to do!

i totally know what you mean. i was just thinking today "wow, AHS seems so dead now after all the stuff that's been going on lately"

I don't know why I get into this topic. x_D
I'm so jealous! :__ You guys are so lucky! <3

wow the signatures look great!! :D

i wanted my albums signed too~!

I'm so jealous of all you guys getting to meet her :P You're seriously lucky!

Having something officially signed is just a dream for any fan...things look so fantastic with her signature xDD

haha i wish i could meet her too^__^

Here is my stuff:
http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/6516/p1010331s.th.jpg
My first Ayu CD :)
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1...010332v.th.jpg
My last Ayu purchase

She also signed a card for one of my friends.

Things like Albums and Posters being signed looked soo... "completed" now :D.

Like Kandelle said.. Things looks great with her signiture on it haha xD...

It's hard to get back to real life LOL A friend told me a few days ago: "Can you see that probably you won't be as happy as you are now at least in a long long time??"

I really hope we all can repeat this^^

I call this collection..

A PERFECT BEST

:D all Japanese limited editions

^
Thats a really nice Collection you got there :)...

Nice to see all the signed stuff!! Keep them coming guys!! xD...

here's the stuff I got signed in London.

http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8245/p1070255.jpg

My M, Evolution, and Never Ever Vinyls... although the last one got smudged a bit.
Poker Face single,
the pickguard of my Jazz Bass(guitar)
and her "Terima Kasih" photobook.... that, she said: "I remember, but I don't want to see" hahaha :laugh

LOL that's hilarious! :laugh I always wondered what she'd say if she got to sign some of her really old stuff.

You guys are soooo lucky !!!! :D
OMG Stan-chan's signature is cute :laugh

My precious autographs <3

http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/6...port10l.th.jpg http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/7967/report11.th.jpg

hahahaha.... :roflmao
I want to see ayu's expression at that time :lech

^
Lol Doubt she would be very pleased xD.... She always has said about her past being very "cloudy" xD... and likes to look forward lol.. Well i guess.. who doesn't =]...

Unless it's the past when you met Ayumi Hamasaki!!! rwar!! xD

*brag brag brag* :innocent

^
I don't think her past being "cloudy" has anything to do with her reaction :laugh Nobody likes to see old pictures of themselves :P

someone should have brought Nothing from nothing and ask her about it

thx for sharing guys..and why she didn't want to see her terima kasih book?
wahahaha..did she embarrassed? haha :D so cute of her!

she was too cute ^^
I asked Stan first if Ayu would be okay with signing the book, but before he could give me a proper answer Ayu already saw the book, held it and said what she said lol
I just opened the cover and made sure no pics were shown :D
gotta respect her feelings ;)

but it was so funny hearing her say that ... and so damn cute!! ^^

and maybe it was all those bikini shots? ;)

^
Ahhh yeah Bikini shots >.>... im sure she remembers it pretty damn clearly then haha.. hmmmm I just woke up when i said the whole cloudy thing LMAO! i was watching the MC 2006 TA before i went to sleep lmao! xD...

Hope the next time Ayu comes it's going to be all about a concert woo woo!

So daring and hilarious.

congrats to everyone who got ayu's autograph! Honestly judging by the way those autographs look they seem completely sloopy. Honestly to me getting a sloppy autograph from any celebrity on whatever the item my be would feel more like a slap in the face or so to speak. I understand that they have busy schedual's etc.. but Ayu should at least have the integrity to properly sign a CD, DVD, etc.. and make it look nice, rather than sloppy. A nice autograph is more valuable than one that has been done sloppy. It honestly wouldn't have killed her to have taken a few more seconds per autograph to make all of the autgraphs look "decent" to "pleasing" to look at everyday.

hmm,i guess you'll not think so if you were one of them.imagine ayu is coming back to hotel after midnight.she's so tired and yet,so many fans waited for her.she needs to rush to sign so that she and the staff and also the fans can rest earlier.i don't think this is a problem at all

for me ayu's autograph is always that "sloppy". i have never seen a "decent" sign before, since it is called signature (not writing name properly).

I do not mind with her autograph
an autograph doesn't need to be beautiful and neat,
but originality ^___^

and i think you should consider how your hands will cooperate with your mind when your freezing... how do you expect poor little Ayu to sign soo decent after all the coldness and tiredness... and i think Ayu's signature looked real nice on all the fans' items so far. good work ayu!! We are proud to be your fans!

Yeah, the coldness makes it really hard to write. After we saw Ayu on Friday, we shared e-mailaddresses. When I had to write mine after 5 hours in the cold, it didn't look readable at all xD Normally I have a quite neat handwriting.
I don't mind though, I like Ayu's autograph :yes I never thought I would get an autograph of Ayu at all, so I'm happy with them :luv2

Originality... that’s true... =p I remember someone giving Ayu a non-permanent marker pen... Which screwed many fans over xD... Luckily when I saw this I manage to give Ayu one of my Pens and asked her to use that one instead... But it's just the fact the when I saw fans trying to write over Ayu's Signiture... It just doesn't feel right and it doesn't feel the same at all xD...

I'm so glad I got my posters signed.. Not only signed but it didn't smudge! xD... Signitures a signiture =].. Have to appreciate it since it's like once in a life time getting it signed by Ayu!

I guess you can make what she's trying to write though.. "Ayu" with a squiggly line and a heart at the top of the line and 2010 at the bottom of the line xD~

Her hearts are pretty funny looking xD haha

I can't even describe how jealous I am :(
I always said that if Ayu was in London I'd be there, and then she turns up on the ONLY week I couldn't as I was going to the US :(
Huufff..
Everyone's stuff looks great though :):)

yeah my vinyls were signed with the non permanent marker that's why one of em rubbed off on my coat, but luckily I still have the other two ;)

and sloppy sig or not it's still hers and she took the time to sign all these stuff for us fans, and I really appreciate that..
yes it was freezing cold and even I couldn't write down my e-mail address properly, they were all squiggly lines

All my signed items

http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._2220767_n.jpg

The towels I stole from the hotel. Payback for being miserable gits :D

^
Lmao... I saw those towels and I had second thoughts too! lmao xD... Should have got Ayu to sign one of those! ahaha... Nice little collection of stuff you got there Tim.

But to be quite honest I’m so glad Ayu had the Patience to stay outside for like 10? 15? 20 minutes at most? To talk/sign and take pictures with her fans... If it was anyone else they'll probably give us a smile and a wave and walk into the hotel xD.. *cough* Amy winehouse *cough >.>.. Could of been anyone but i picked Amy because she was at the same Hotel as Ayu xD~ lmao

Amy Winehouse didn't even wave or smile :laugh Although we weren't her fans, but yeah xD

haha those towels, I wanted those too!
I don't know what happened the last time I went in there with you guys, I thought we were going to have some tea?
but then we sorta forgot why we went in and then got sent out again :laugh

and yes, Amy Winehouse...that ******!!! ;) we kept ourselves busy singing bad songs and cracking jokes about her, waiting for Ayu...
next to performing Ayu songs and doing para para of course :D... yeah, we were pretty loud that friday night :laugh

I think Ayu's autograph is nice :yes.

someone should have brought Nothing from Nothing.. the signed cd would be worth thousands of $ *_____________*

Ayu's autograph is so cute! I wouldn't care if she had the sloppiest handwriting in the world...I would still be extremely happy :yes

all those signature looks amazing !

Here is my signed items.

2 autographs signed the 23th on the extra card of the You were CD and another one on a TA mag. I asked for two autographs in case of, and since I had also 2 autographs in Paris in 2008 (there are in the frame behind).

http://ayuwa.nihonwa.info/Ayu/autogr...ontour2010.jpg

We also asked to Ayu to sign our two Ayusphere banners. The 1st banner was also signed by Zin and Shuya during the ARENA TOUR 2009 and the 2nd one was posted by Ayu on her blog:

And finally our fanbook which we showed to Ayu the 30th, there is a video from Hatix showing us talking with Ayu about this book.

I was too busy to post before, but I will try to post about my “London experience” as soon as possible ^^

You guys are so lucky!

ayu_alanis, really she said you "then you see your photo in my blog?"

OMG Ayu... I gave you to sign my TA card, how in the world I'm supposed to have one if I'm not TA member ¬¬ T______T She maybe thought I payed for it... or sth T_____T Of course her face showed surprise... a girl from barcelona in London with a TA card... not logical... but still.... XDD

walking.proud, you saw that on my sign ^^

So yes she really did :D In fact, on friday, the 1st thing she said when she came to us, was:
"Did you see your photo in my blog?"

So, she was talking about the spanish-french fan group photo we took with the Ayusphere banner :cool We were like :eek and then said a big "YES! we did !!!!" but still :eek

I don't know how she came to think we can see the photo on TA website. I did also say to Ayu that I am a TA member, but I was thinking she hadn't hear it, anyway Mr KAZ, the boss of the Teamayu, knew it for sure, and now Ayu also. I may think that, since some of our japanese friends from TA sent her some message about us when they saw the picture, Ayu was probably thinking that we will know it.

Anyway Ayu was really happy to know that we had seen the photo she posted. This moment was another wonderful moment, and for sure, you are right, ExodusUK, we are very lucky.

^
You are the girl with black hair, right? The one who gave her the Hello Kitty in the red box ;) I was there on Thursday (28th) and Friday (29th) :)

yeah, I'm one of those spanish, the one with the white hat!! I asked you because I read it in you sig!!

a ok, When I read it I thought the situation was that you told her you saw it and she answered surprised that sentence. Now I'm relieved, she went to you and said that, ok!

And well... I gave her my TA card to sign it, and I think you told me on saturday night that in the afternoon Ayu asked you why we knew where she was, for what you answered that she posted the pics of the hotel in her blog. So maybe because of that, she knows that "in some way" we can see her blog!

^^

wow!!! I totally forgot about this thread. 0_0

This is one of the drawings I got signed, the other drawing is exhibited at an art gallery in Oslo, and belongs to the artist. This drawing is estimated to be worth a value of NOK 11,000, about $2,000 - and that's what it costs without autograph. Wonder what it's worth now that it has autograph from Ayu. :evillaugh I will nevertheless not sell it, at least not before I get in real economic problems, haha.

(It's the same drawing you can see in my signature)

The second drawing, the one who is exhibited at the art gallery.

A Song for XX
http://bloggfiler.no/steffster.blogg...1124243307.jpg

Autographs we gave away to user on ayu.no, and my traveling partner got all the "A best cards" signed.
http://bloggfiler.no/steffster.blogg...1125836522.jpg

I didn't get all of the "A Best" cards signed (I wish!), just that one in the foreground of the picture. "I am..", Concert tour 2000 and the A Best card are mine, the dark one that is a little hard to see is the booklet from "Duty", which we got signed for someone at ayu.no. So there's my signed stuff;)

Those drawings are cool :thud

Those drawings are brilliant Max! What medium are they exactly?

Maybe Ayu will visit Europe again soon? I hope I will get to know that in time!!!!!!

Only pencil and blending sticks :ybiggrin

Oh, I thought you were supposed to give "I am" to someone else too. Hmm, then I remember wrong, hehe. :yes But, I seem to remember that you got the signature on the cards .. hmm ... weird. Maybe I just remember that you said you would try to get them signed. Perhaps no wonder I was a bit confused in the end, many grand impression during those days. Plus I was really sick with the throat infection at the end of the stay xD

But it was a great experience anyway ^^ and now we are some of the few in Norway that owns a autograph(s) from Ayu xD haha *guard it with your life*

Do you have any autographs on display? I'll frame the cover of A Song for XX with a great frame and display it on my wall.
