I spent quite a bit of time on these, so if anyone wants to share them anywhere else, please give me a heads-up first!! :D

Ahhhh thank you! ^^ This was wonderfully done.

Lol @ the third page... Ayu didn't bother answering which artist she'd want to go on an adventure with or doing something with in 2010 XD Very dodgy of her. The naming process of BALLAD was interesting... I definitely know what it's like to name something and then just feel unable to change it cause it stuck :laugh Still, I kinda wish there was a slightly deeper meaning behind it...

woah.....rehearsals for the tour already :thud
:roflmao :roflmao Her personal wish :roflmao :roflmao

Ah...though I really dislike this issue, I think I'll buy it because I like it when there are Q&A ♥

edit: eek forgot, but thank you very much for all of your hard work! ♥

you are amazing! thank you so much!!! :D

Thanks for doing this.. must have taken up most of your time

Oh my.... this is simply...awesome and amazing. Thank you for your time and effort. It must have taken ages for you to do these!

It's a shame she's so mysterious/dodgy with some questions. SCawaii seems interested in seeing a collab, something which most of us do but she seems to avoid these questions. She is also really mysterious about her upcoming album but I think she gave us a few hints...

At the same time 2010 sounds promising and this article got me forming some theories about Ayu's next step.

It's interesting how she seems to be in the mindset of "I Am...", especially where she almost quotes the lyrics of "evolution" and echos the environmental thoughts she had in that era, when she answers some questions... wonder if this means something similar or in the same vein is coming up.

Also she hints that the upcoming album will go back to basics and it's safe to bet it won't be experimental. Maybe more stuff like Red Line?

Page 3: re live performances "Some that wont return but some will" hmmm??? HAPPY XMAS SHOW and FNS gone?? & Haha seems like she's reserving a rock single for the autmn and winter period? lol..and WHAT SHE'S REHEARING FOR AT10 already?!?! LOl her personal wish is HILARIOUS.

Page 4: New album!!! FEELING OF OLD TIMES. I can see the truly JPOP in Sunrise, the classic Ayu style ballad in You were..., the literally old-period ballad BALLAD..so..hmm. So now her CDLs are becoming a prelude to the ATs themselves (i expect more complaining..but whatever). And does she by any chance hint at CREA? (old times, mood to create music LOL)

Page 6: Again the talk about revisiting the past. This is intriguing. She mentions DAI, so we may get more DAI! (For a moment, I thought "to my last love" referred to "my PREVIOUS love" but know i get it, it means "my FINAL love"). LOL, we may have gotten BALLAD 1 & BALLAD 2 hahaha

Page 7: reading that RED LINE's melody long existed, I get a feeling the new album will contain long-existed demos (maybe we see Tetsuya again) and now, they are mixed with a tinge of present and past Ayu.. (ok i unknowingly dwelved into the PAST FUTURE thing...Ayu is conflicing Namie HAHAHA). Ouch, Ayu knows what she has down to her throat..haiz REST WELL!

THanks so much for this!!! I expect we can get new info about the album next month haha.

Thank you for this very interesting interview!

thanks misa-chan! That was fun to read. I am kinda glad that she is revisiting her past ideas with the new album. I'm really looking forward to see how will both the album and the tour turn out to be!

thanks for translating ^-^

Thank you~
But man ayu is kind of crazy, eh? Only working, working, working, working, working, working, working, blabla...
I'm glad to hear about a new album and a new tour, but what about taking a rest?
Well,... I hope her vocals will be better this year, I'm still dissapointed about the CDL.

Thank you for the great work, Misa-chan!
i'm happy that Ayu sounds so serene & accomplished

Thanks a lot!! awesome!!

I feel deja vu about her mentioning the next tour's gonna be the so-called continuation from CDL...I hope she really come up with something fresh. and I'm so interested in her new album!!! *fingers crossed* thanx for the translation and the works

Wow, cheers for this you did a great job!

She sees that she needs to be more careful with her throat, so we need to ease up on her about that... XD

I'm excited. :D

That was interesting!
Thanks so much, I appreciate your hard work. :yes

wow!
nice translation!
thanks!
i think her new album will sound like Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics...^^ or maybe Namie's Past < Future (yeah, she copy it...hahahaha!)

Thank you very much. That's awesome =D

Thank you so, so, so, sooooo much! You have done an amazing job! ^^
