WORLD IS ONE

A fanbook from all Ayu's fans around the world.

The aim? To make a fanbook for Ayu from all her fans across the globe! The idea came up many times in the thread about the rumoured London trip: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97339

When? If Ayu really does come to London at the end of this month, then, but it really isn't a lot of time so it's not practical! But we will get this to her somehow, and we want to give it to her in person!

The ideas are some that have appeared in the visit to London thread, and were the basis for this thread:

However I doubt that we'll pull it off while she is still in London, but there is always the Team Ayu address, which I do have somewhere xD

If anybody has ideas, or simply says they want to participate (so numbers can be judged) then post here.

Let's get this made, everyone! I can update this first post with details that get agreed definitely and problems that need to be solved. I'll try to form a sort of structure as it goes along. =X

Please Read the Following
1. --
2. Your page should be in EU A4, in pixels that's 2480 x 3508, it's okay if you use MM or other measurements. As HQ as possible please!! The size doesn't really matter, as TickTock can resize it, so the bigger the better!!
3. You can put ANYTHING on your page to Ayu!
4. You can allow your non-AHS friends to make pages, and involve people from other forums. Just PM me and I'll add a "+1" etc... next to your name.
5. Pages can be digital or hand drawn and can be anything you want to say to Ayu, please try to include why her lyrics have meant something to you!
6. A template was posted, if you want to use it, you can, however we would rather each person designed their own page.
7. Please write in English, or provide a translation to English of your native language if you like. To quote Ayu you can use the original Japanese.
8. Use any name you want, you don't have to include your username
9. DO NOT MENTION AHS Firstly, it's not just people from AHS, and secondly it's waaay to risky with the download sections.
10. If you want to just write a letter in a word document, that's fine too! It doesn't have to be arty.

Ok, if you're gonna do this, here's the TA address:

Oote-Machi Aoyama Building 5F
3-1-31 Minami-Aoyama,
Minato city, Tokyo
107-0062, Japan

Ayumi Hamasaki Official Fanclub 'Team Ayu'

We should send it to that address in case we're not done by the time she gets to London.

Anyways, as I said, we should all have an A4 or perhaps smaller? page to design and decorate the way we want to, we could write our names and location along with messages for her or what songs we love the most and why etc. (that has all been said, but I like the idea).

[U-GO-BOY]

I think something like Gagadaily.com made for Lady GaGa would be cool.. with self-drawn pictures and letters.. the name could be A FANBOOK or A WORLD

[noidea]

Hm...I think the main focus should stay on how her songs moved the fans...because her lyrics are what shes known for. Of course there can be other things and drawings included too. A FANS would actually be nice. Or THE WORLD IS ONE(like asia is one)...cheesy xD

[relmy]

Yeah, it should be anything people want to do really. I think people would like an A4 page each, but that all depends on how many people want to do it. I guess we could if people are willing to donate to whoever wants to print it. Or maybe posting handrawn pages to someone who collects it all together with the digital?

I love the names, I think it definitely needs to be "A" something. Maybe something as a subtitle too?

[TickTock]

Hi,

I made an account for this subject. First off, I think it's very important that the book is delivered in person. Sending it over to the TA address can be done any day, but you won't be sure that Ayu actually receives it and won't get to see her reaction.

Secondly, I agree with Zelda-Maker. Everyone should have one page that they can fill with whatever they want (poems, comments, quotes, drawings, pictures, etc.). Then it is all put together in one big book. Someone in the other in the other topic said that we'd get 1000 replies, but I think that we'll get only 50-200. If you put two pages with their backs to eachother in a transparent sleeve, then that's already only 25-100 'pages' + they're protected.

Anyways, I live nearby London so I'm definitely going and my father is able to print for cheap at his work. I just thought I'd offer this, because in the other topic I saw someone complain about who was going to print it all and that it will cost money, etc.

A WORLD IS ONE - even though it's not grammatically correct, it's not worse than Distance Love xD and we could make a cute A logo with the planet texture xD

oh and I am not sure if us sending the pages by mail is a good idea, although it's more fair, as that might take ages

[noidea]

^

[relmy]

"A WORLD IS ONE" is awesome, it could be read as Ayu's world of fans is one, despite us all being so far away from each other~ ♥

[U-GO-BOY]

you mean something like that? xD

[njanjayrp]

^ yeah something like that or if anyone has a better idea of how to incorporate the planet into the logo for example the way the (m)u heart was in the logo xD that would be even better.

[relmy]

I like that logo.

Maybe we could do something cheesy like lots of little A's holding hands around a globe. Or is that a little too cheesy? XD

Oh yeah and:

I fully agree with this!

[njanjayrp]

^ why not xD We need someone to design the front page xD

[U-GO-BOY]

some people could make it and then we make a poll which one is the best =)

[relmy]

Poll yes, great idea! Just let people's A LOGO and designing skills take flight. That's the best, and easiest, way to do anything.

[njanjayrp]

In that case we should act as fast as possible! So I guess you should add the things we agreed on (if we did xD) to the first post and let people know where to send their pages xD

[jbrat2219]

What an awesome idea This is so exciting! Question though, if we're all going to have a hand in this, these need to be digital pages right? If we hand-write one, it has to be scanned or something, right?

[relmy]

I will!

For handrawn pages, yeah. It's the only way really. It would be AMAZING to have the actual pages, but as someone said, it's not really possible.

[njanjayrp]

^ yeah xD if we do send it by actual mail, it's gonna take ages for some of the pages to get to the person in UK xD

[relmy]

We should let people, I guess if they're willing to pay for the shipping. It'd be a bit awkward though if we get them all to someone in London and she doesn't come. o__o
