AHS meetings in London

[Maxker]

Now I've booked my hotel. Hallam Hotel, the location is excellent, only 5 minute walk from Oxford Circus and next door to the hotel Ayu is located on. Paid £ 95.00 for two nights, including internet and breakfast. ^^ Are there others from AHS who also will stay in this hotel next week?

OH MY GOD!

To everyone who's met her and gotten your pictures with her and her autographs... You all are truly lucky. If I hadn't spent my savings, I probably would have been there with you all. lol But, seriously, you all are so lucky! And it looks like you all, and Ayu, were having so much fun!

[MissElin_]

WOAAAAH you guys are sooo lucky! I really envy you! But Im very happy for everyone! That is sooo great that you got to see her! Keep on posting those wonderful stories!

To explain it...

Like Ian said...(I don-t remember the rest of the nick sorry xD) My friend and I were there at 6am... we had met with Ceresu and her friend. As Ian said, until 12pm she didn't come so we were there almost dying XDD Staff started to go outside the hotel, and started pointing at us so we understood they were planning what to do.

We talked and said not to take pictures of her because she may feel uncomfortable, we prefered to ask if we could take a pic ^^ Also we said to do as Japanese fans, to make a line so that ayu could go one by one signing and so.... So we created the line and waited while singing. It was funny because all the people who were entering or going out from the hotel were looking at us like saying: WTF? Some of them even approach and asked if we were waiting someone famous... of course we said: a singer, Ayumi Hamasaki, and they: aaaaaah.... XDDD

There was a Japanese man with a camera from Ayu staff that took a pic of us, and came to our side waiting... I don't know if he wanted to make sure we were calm or something... or maybe he was only interested in us XDD

At least Ayu was coming!! She was wearing a rockish costume, I can't remember it perfectly... I have pics from a mobile someone took and I'll upload them tomorrow. She was wearing a really high heels (and even with them she barelly was taller than me XD) and tight pants. Around her hip she had 3 pieces of cloth of diferent colours, blue, white and pink... I though about that photoshoot in a recent magazine with a British look. She was beautiful!!


When she approached, instead of going to the first and then go one by one she stopped in the middle of the line and said: what I have to sign? XDDD because we didn't move and she was waiting for us to give her things... so after that we all put around Ayu. Stan said that we couldn't take pics, that she would come later and we would be able to take pics. Of course, we don't know for what it's that dress... but the French fans who saw her later that said she was wearing another dress also British-themed, so maybe it's for RIMMEL??? cause I don't think it will be for the booklet or a PV...

Well she signed everything, she was going from one side to another, smiling all the time, she was stunning really!! I had my present and letter for her, and when she signed me my MW box I said: Ayu, it's a present for you. She looked at me and while taking it she said: Thank you!! But her face, her eyes were looking at mines, she REALLY and sincerely expressed gratitude!! I couldn't do anything but smiling!! She was really kind! For example a user here (relmy) asked her to write in a paper Happy b'day to her niece, and she did it and asked kindly something, I don't remember, but relmy will sure remember every single word XDD

So after some minutes, Stan started: well, this is the last one! But then Ayu started signing another one XDD and like that 3 times, and finally left, we said thank you ayuuu! and she thanked us too and waved her hand and smiled to as while leaving ^^


After that, for what I know from French fans, she returned to the hotel twice. The first one they couldn't approach, she had to leave, and they saw her in another dress, but the second time she was wearing normal clothes and signed some things again.

Then, I went again, at 7 to the hotel. We were Gi, me and also Crea-spain who came today! Also the French fans ^^ We waited some time, and around 8:30 she arrived with banchou and stan with a ban. We went there and asked to take a group picture! So again we have another pic ^^ This time Stan didn't say anything and he took 3 cams to make the photos. Also there was an official photographer with a BIIIIIG cam taking the photo too *.*

After the pic Crea-spain showed his CDL 09-10 towel and ayu asked him why he had it xDD He said that he went to CDL and ayu was surprised. Also he said he came from Spain, and ayu asked when. hehe. He gave her the new photobook of her latest tours, and it was really funny XDD she said to crea-spain: "What's that?" LOOOL!!! XDDD and she looked at it like: WTF, she signed it, and said to Stan: "nani kore?" + what's that? XDDD This woman is incredible really XDD

After this conversation, she shook hands with everyone saying good night ^^ and she left!! She was wearing short jeans and a big white wool sweater and also high heels ^^

We are leaving tomorrow (T______T) but we will go before to see her for the last time if we can ^^

And I forgot to say. When she was signing us all the stuff, random people, old man and so came with a piece of paper to ask her for an autograph XDDD I though: who are these people??? XDDD Also her photographers were around us making photos like crazy!! it was strange and surreal!! XDD

well, here pics!! it's all I can upload, the ones from the dress and the pic from tonigh are like my pics with Ayu, a pic of the pic in the cam XDD until tomorrow I won't be able to upload a HQ one ^^

Our perfect line!! ^^

Great, then you're there the day I will give the book to her ^^ I hope as many as possible are present on Wednesday, so we can photograph a group photo with the book. It's going to be awesome!

Wenn ich mich recht erinnere bin ich das erste Mal mit einer direkten Buslinie nach London rein(das ist glaube ich die für 10 Pfund), das dauerte aber 2 Stunden, also dann mit dem Stansted Express(viel schneller) hin, mit dem Stansted Express zurück und am Ende nochmal mit dem Stansted Express. Er ist halt nur ziemlich teuer. Sehr hohe Fahrtkosten und einen ganzen Tag vergeudet...

[Material Boy]

Guys, lucky guys!!! I wish I was there!
If you manage to see her, tell her about the fact she should do a concert in Europe, even one! And ask her about what she is really doing in London (album, photoshoot, Rimmel thing,...) XDD.
Enjoy guys!!

[Luvia]

you guys are really lucky!!! >__<

i reading your posts and tears are welling up in eyes!! its so exciting to know that you all can meet her!!! if i ever really meet her, i would definitely go crazy!! jumping, screaming and crying!! so i think i better don't join you all, in case i create a mess for you all! Hah!

and i really hope you all are in the magazines scans or any making of CDs!!!!!!

[Mari-chan]

I envy you, who was able to meet her.
She might be very friendly, isn't she? Ah.. what a pity, I can not go to London. (-.-)

P.S.: Man, in diesem Thread wird aber viel Deutsch geschrieben. (^_^)'''

Ok, das ist schon viel..
Aber wenn man Freitag Abend mit dem Bus nach London City, dann Sonntags abends wieder zurück, dann sollte das doch nicht so teuer sein?
also, im Moment ist der Stand so, dass meine Mutter mich begleiten würde, wenn ich von Freitag bis Sonntag fliege.
Das Problem: Ryanair Tickets für dieses Wochenende sind fast so teuer wie bei der Lufthansa..
Mal sehen.

If I am gonna come to London I will write here again.

[noidea]

^ Kurzfristige Flüge werden halt immer teuer. Geht nicht anders. Wenn deine Mutter mitkommt hast du aber anscheinend alle Probleme gelöst außer dem Preis. Und da lässt sich halt nix machen wenn man so spät bucht.

[crazycool]

Wow, everyone's write ups on their Ayu expieriance have been so good to read! Congrats to everyone ahh i'm jealous!

I'm going Wednesday (for the whole day maybe), and it seems alot of other people are? Everyone seems really friendly, and I'll be alone - so who minds if I tag along with them (or just hang around you LOL...). I'm new here, but love Ayu to pieces and HAVE to see her sometime this week! I live in London so it's no problem for me!!

Is the hotel the best place to wait for her, do you all think?

(I'm Simon, btw!)

Ja, das weiß ich wohl.
Ich muss nochmal genau alles durchrechnen.
Trotzdem vielen Dank für die Hilfe!

[AyUta]

I wish everyone who hasn't gone yet good luck! Take lots of pictures with her!

[crea_spain]

Just to inform you, be aware guys, Stan-chan told us today that Ayu will be leaving London next Friday, as much next Saturday... so be careful if you plan to come next weekend to advance the trip cause Ayu could leave London on Friday or Saturday at morning.

Ayu today was hoarse and couldn't leave the hotel but we send through Stan-chan a bouquet of pink flowers and she sent to Stan-chan up to 4 times to keep us informed of everything that was with her, Ayu cares deeply about all their fans, she's a very nice person, so adorable, WE LOVE YOU AYU <3
