[PIC] Ayu in Lighthouse 10-1-2006

[I love Ayu]

I don't see this picture posted anywhere, so I've decided to post it here for those of you not in southern California. This pic was in a free Japanese circular. Basically, the text is a personality profile based on animals.

I finally got around to translating the text. Only a little is about Ayu, but I decided to translate the whole thing anyway:

Ayu’s fashion and unique comments have become a social phenomenon, and she has even been called “The Charisma for high school girls.” Having creating numerous CD sales records, Ayu continues to reign at the top of Japanese female pop singers.

Overall luck:
You don’t feel refreshed. You may become distressed when things don’t go your way. Try to be tolerant. This is a good time to look inward, and you may be able to write “Ayu-like” poems.

Love luck:
This month is not good. Because you’re worrying too much about the other person’s behavior, you may search frantically or worry about small things. Don’t be so emotional, and just try to create opportunities to communicate with each other. Then things will work out.

Marriage luck:
You should hold off marriage for now. Your marriage luck will rise 2009 and afterwards. Ayu’s boyfriend, TOKIO’s Nagase Tomoya is a “motherly guardian bear.” Your work luck is very good, so just support each other and enjoy your boyfriend-girlfriend relationship for now.

Work luck:
Try to set a clear vision about what kind of work you want to do. Be careful about matters involving money. If you communicate with your friends and people who are supporting you, you can make the impossible possible.

Health luck:
Right now, you are very tired physically and mentally. Save your strength and don’t overdo things. But you’re not the type that can stay still, so find friends you can just hang out with to get rid of your stress.

Best partner is Sheep:
For the sensitive and not very verbally proficient monkey, the sociable, knowledgeable, and analytical leopard will give you precise advice. An example is the entertainer Higashiyama Noriyuki. You should get good advice.

Worst partner is black leopard:
For the fast paced monkey, the black leopard who is always worrying about the future is a strange personality. You probably won’t get along with talent Wakaki (?) Chinatsu.

How to get along with lover:
As long as you can spend the day doing something fun, then it’ll be OK. Make sure to plan out your place to meet and date. Precise compliments and small gifts are effective.

How to get along with friends, co-workers:
You’re not comfortable in formal atmosphere; you prefer an open, casual atmosphere. When you ask for a favor (work-related and non-work related), give precise details. Compliment them. That’s your best source of energy. Your ambition will rise, and you will try even harder.

That picture, remains me of the recent straits sunday times whereby they had ayu's pic (startin cover) in the Horoscope Section.The article mention ayu's birthday is appoarching and since she's not getting any younger, she should plan to be a ayu-mummy soon (I thought this is a very lame prediction...)

I don't think Ayu even knows where babies come from. If she did, it would ruin my perception of her D:

yes, it's fortune telling, but not for horoscope - it's based on animals. Her birthday is for the monkey. I think the summary they give of her is interesting - it's nice to know how Ayu is presented to non-Ayu fans.

About the picture, I don't think that's a recent one either, it doesn't specify.

Anyhow, I'll try to translate it Friday night or over the weekend, but if someone wants to translate before that, feel free to do so.

[AyuGAME]

That's nice, but they probably used the Panasonic picture without allowance.

Thanks for sharing!

[nodoka]

Yeah please translate if you have enough time. Thank you for posting it though!

[I love Ayu]

I just added the translation into my very 1st post for those of you who were interested. Only a little is about Ayu, but I translated the horoscope thingy too.
