[Translation] TEAMAyu blog: 19th January

[Suteisi]

Lol, I was just making fun of it.

The story with the limo driver is that he told some source (I believe it was ayu-angel) that Ayu was supposed to go to London in January but that it was cancelled (I'm assuming it was early January). He was her limo driver when she was in Paris for Mirrorcle World, he was the one giving the info to the fans so they could go and see Ayu while she was in France.

But.. one week ago, it would be possible, don't it? But well.. she will not come here, I think!

[Maxker]

I'm super curious about what country she visits. It is most likely Great Britain, because that was where her trip was originally planned, but it does not fit with the specified temperature.... so much is probably still possible.

I hope it's a new update on TeamAyu before I wake up tomorrow morning. ^^

Oh ok... it's the same guy. But I still don't get how he had news from ayu as she's not going to Paris but London? How can he be related to that?
I'm not calling anything into question, it's just that I don't see the link ^^"

Wasn't it -6 degrees at that time in London?
If so, it's very natural that ayu said -6 degrees!

I tracked down the limo driver and asked him about it, after I read the post on Ayu Angel. He told me that he was contracted to be her driver for all of Europe, but that Avex had messed him around so much cancelling and rescheduling that he cancelled the contract completely. He said that Ayu booked with a London limo company now. So she must be heading to London.

[truehappiness]

Ah, so he was sick of being rescheduled and such... makes sense now.

And so, we've lost the source that gave us leads on where she was in Paris in 2008... I wonder if the other driver will come out and say something? Haha.

[zoomzoom]

^That seems so unlikely unfortunately... it puzzles me why that driver went out with the info in the first place, since he said he wasn't a fan of hers.. just cause he was nice?

[Suteisi]

QUICK! Someone track down her new limo driving dude!!

Lol XD

[truehappiness]

I imagine what happened was that he was curious about who he was going to be driving, and found the Ayu-Angel forum via Google or something, and started posting about what'd happen from there.

[ownsarai]

I think it's kind of suspicious that this limo driver leaks this info about Ayu being in London or whatever, then all of a sudden he..."cancels his contract". I'm sure they get paid good money just to drive celebrities around. I think he may have been forced to quit or resign (whatever) if avex found out about him leaking the info to fans. Isn't that against policy or something? I'm sure it's in his contract to be confidential.
Well anyway. I am excited to find out where she will end up.
*sings*Where in the world is...Ayu-mi-Hama-sa-ki~!

If I remember well, that's what exactly happened. It was the first French website he found about Ayu. He just wanted to let the fans know, to not miss this opportunity...

How did you manage to track him down? Did you asked Ayuangel's webmistress or something like that? I'm just being curious

[truehappiness]

Stuff probably found his posts/username on the French Ayu forum. Didn't he post in the forum at first?

[kirei_ayumi]

ah~ so we're finally getting somewhere, step by step

[hidekirby]

Well, I checked the forum and there is no messages from the driver, just the news from the webmistress coming from a (I quote) "source". So there's any direct message.
I believe he directly contacted the admin.
That's why I was suprised to learn (some hours ago) that her French driver was involved in that story. I also thought this driver belonged to the French hotel that Ayu liked. But it seems in not the case if he was to drive her in Europe.

[AyUta]

So Ayu MIGHT be in London? I wonder how she plans on spending this trip? Is it a small vacation or work?

[Misa-chan]

ayu's probably jet-lagged, or extremely busy. no TEAMAyu updates yet lol!! XD

[mobius]

^ She might be sleeping right now. Its only 4am in the morning at London....if she's at London!

[Blasterion]

yeah and she better not be in France again!
London is cheaper for me to get to

I'm just so excited right now
come on Ayu... post something!

[oji-i-san]

oh, there's a new post by ayu!
Let's wait for Misa-chan's new translation ^^

She added more hints:
* it is about noon. (She posted it 20:42 japan time.)
* it is +1 degree.
* she heard that it is going to snow.
