Ayu in London November 2011 ~PART I~

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

The fact that they even allow photos is pretty amazing. Japanese people rarely get the chance to meet Ayu, and if they do photos are almost always not allowed.

For the first time in a very long time when Ayu went to the premiere of A 3D II, she allowed everyone to take photos for like 20 minutes or whatever, and then after that time they were prohibited from taking them again.

She (Avex?) has been extremely lenient with her foreign fans. I mean she refers to several of you by name and tells you where she's staying.

Perhaps they want to just select a few of the pictures to allow you to post, as opposed to every single one. We -all- know how obsessive and selfish the Japanese/Asian fan bases are. Whether we agree with their reasoning for getting angry with Ayu/Avex or not, there's always the chance of people getting jealous and sending hate messages. While this may not be the exact reason for the monitoring of pictures this time, it's still plausible.

[emi♡]

^I'd bet money on that being the exact reason.

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

I think avex's inquiry is pretty comprehensible and i expected something similar to happen time ago.

I believe tokyoxjapanxfan hit it on the nail

[Luja.]

Which address do you guys have to send the photos to? I don't have one but maybe it should be put here for the others?

I hope everyone will be allowed to take pictures in the future!

[aura~]

I don't know if I should post that mail without permission~ hmm

I bet they understand the first pictures taken are a bit impossible to stop... And I guess they will talk about this mail to other future fans that come~

I also think it doesn't have anything to do with jp fans an jealously... Ayu decided to give us this privilege which is quite fair and nice from her as we get nothing more unless we spent 2000/3000€ on a trip....

Guess it's just that Avex has to take care of their big artist image~

I already sent them my pictures, I can't see Alterna88's ones so I guess they got the petition too.... Let's see what they say!!

oh sorry, I forgot about that. Of course the staff will give the new arrived fans the email address, that makes sense. I totally forgot about that.

Have fun everyone who's going this weekend!

[Mami-chan]

Yes, but where can we send our photos for approval? We need an e-mail address .__.

[ExodusUK]

They'll give it to you when you meet Ayu I guess. Don't post it on here, you'll get people e-mailing them asking for a new single and other irrelevant stuff.

[MissElin_]

^Agreed. The ones who go there will probably get the mail address. If not by the staff maybe the other fans in front of the hotel there can tell the newly arrived fans the address.

[Mami-chan]

Yeah, I see. We can always ask it to the staff there ^^
Yes, maybe posting it here a lot of people will start mailing them with irrelevant stuff. Let's wait for next week and see ^^ (I'm going there next week)

[MissElin_]

And I'm going tomorrow! I'm so so so excited! I can't even imagine how it would be like, stading that close to her.

[Jennie Mae]

Maybe Avex is worried that there will be someone posing as a fan and snapping pictures so they can sell them to tabloids or something.
I'm sure that as soon as Avex figures out that we're just fans on a message board who are excited for each other and not using them for nefarious purposes, they will let us post them again.

[Mami-chan]

Have fun tomorrow with Ayu!!! ^O^

[spanishfan]

I hope the allow me to take photos too, I have a reflex and I don't wanna be seen as a magazine photographer lol it's just my hobby.

I think everything is because she's obviusly tired (but beautiful <3) in the photos we saw and maybe they wanna keep her "fresh" image.

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

it's perfectly comprehensible, no one of us would love to see his/her picture online with a creepy/tired face or shabby outfit, right?

[YUKARI]

have fun tomorrow guys!

[AyUmIXx]

^ where in fact, she looks great in every pics even without make up.
haha..
but oh well, if it's avex's request guess that we should just obey or not they wont allow fans to take pics with her in the future.

[ExodusUK]

No ayu so far today

[Luja.]

^maybe she started working today? I guess she'll explain the reason for her stay in London on TA soon. I'd like to know what she's working on.

Ayu fans are more respectable than I thought. When it comes to celebrities, people just take as many pictures as they please.
