Thank you, Yamayumi, for sending them to me. Here is my translation.

I've become 7 years old. 1:58 April 13, 2004

A great number of messages regarding "Super TV" today. They are increasing so rapidly in number that I can hardly follow. And ayu has been reading them for about two hours.

My heart is very calm now. There might have been some scenes from which you felt like turning your eyes away. But perhaps you realized what I meant to say, looking at my smile on the last scene, didn't you? I never regret anything. Because you are all by my side now. It makes me glad and happy more than anything else. I believed at that time and I believe now that while a human lose something, he gets something.

And above all, I always believe in you. Let's be together in my seventh anniversary, too !!!

With love ... ayu.

p.s. ayu loves your smiles and wants to see them just as you want to see ayu's smile. (heart mark)

Appear again. 14:01 April 13, 2004

I've been finding the time to read your messages. I've come here again as I like to tell you a little more.

I feel I aimed at perfection so much that I had no composure in the period from "A Best" to the Dome Tour, which was mainly focused in the program yesterday. My mind was always strained, and I think I could not compromise, fail nor even forgive. I don't mean at all to deny my course in the past, which I chose myself and walked on. I only like to say that it's different now.

Now I think I may fail, I may go badly and sometimes I may look uncool or miserable, as I'm a human. And I can laugh at, forgive and admit myself.

I received a lot of hearty messages that you are proud of being ayu fans. But it's I who must say like that. I'm thankful to and proud of living in the same age and walking together with you. Each of you may have each problem, but let's enjoy the time we can spend together to our hearts' content !!! Let's get old together. (laugh)

As there are many questions about my ear, here I answer in my own way. Honestly speaking, I'm not in a negative mood regarding this matter. Because all of you listen to my songs instead of my left ear, don't you? Do you want to say, "Don't settle it in your own way"? (laugh) But it's truly enough to me. So, don't worry about this matter !!!!!

I was saved by love, though I tried to keep love away.
