It's quite an old video, but I’ve never watched this video before. I thought it was interesting! Maybe i was one of the late ones who came across this video ^^".

For the ones who did watch it before, what was the purpose of this? How come Yo-chan and Ayu visited a school.

This video was quite interesting to watch, the fact that Ayu and Yo-chan went to visit a school to talk to little kids and the kids performing in front of Ayu and Yo-chan was really cute ^_^. There are little bits where I think Kids were asking Ayu questions. Jees they are so lucky! Lol I really enjoyed the instrumental part and where the kids started singing to Ayu.

And later on you get to see Yo-chan playing on a guitar while Ayu sings to the kids ^^

Tell me what you think of this video ^_^, i think it's really sweet xD

P.S If anyone can possibly translate the questions and maybe even the answered they asked and Ayu answered, that would be great !! xD Thank you.

Omg! Even though I do not know what they are talking about, but I still envy the children! Thanks for sharing!

[Luja.]

Oh, such a cute video! Thanks for sharing, never saw it before!
The only thing I can tell you is that I think she keeps mouthing "sugoi" during the sports performances, which means "great"/"incredible" or something like that.

Ahh, and she is wearing a Von Dutch cap, I have a Von Dutch bag, that's funny

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I don't think I've seen this either...but she looks so cute. lol

[love in music]

I never saw this! I love ayu's reactions lol. That version of SEASONS is awesome omg! I wish there was some sort of remix that sounded like that (with those beautiful vocals too). Ayu also looked so skinny there.. way too thin imo.

OMG wow! You are certainly not the last one to see this! I have never seen it or even heard of its existence! Thank you for posting it! I love how they performed for her! They did so great! And they got to have her perform for them too! That must have been so awesome for those kids!

[Blasterion]

I've seen this vid before... although I can't remember when it was, but it was quite some time ago..
Don't remember why she visited the school, but I'm sure somebody @AHS knows

[!Lawi!]

I remember having seen it some monthes ago, but I totally can't help you to understand what they say and why they were there,sorry...Great vid though !

[AngelSenshi]

I've never seen it before!! Thank you for bringing it to our attention! It seems a lot of people missed it, ne?

Thank you!! I can't help in any way really but wow...it's beautiful.

Lucky kids, but they put on quite the show for her too, ne?

[Kazeyomi]

o_o I've never seen that video before!
Lol Ayu reactions are so cute
The SEASONS performance is really amazing, I love it! I love the Voyage performance too, those kids are awesome!

I wish there were subs ;_; I wonder what they are saying.
Nice find, though! Thanks a lot

[indyplus]

Yep, I've seen it before. Actually, it's one of my favorite performances of SEASONS! ♥ And Ayu looks amazing in this. ^^

[Lee^ChaN]

oh~ i saw this couple years ago..
i think it's during Memorial address era or way before
If i'm not mistaken, she was graduated from that elementary school in Fukuoka

Ayu supposedly graduated from that school? SUGOI....

Quick translation, not 100% accurate
this is one of my favourite videos I can translate the general conversation of the vid.

The theme of the video as stated is Dream, and at the beginning, Ayu says "it would be great if we can make some nice memories of this day." After that, some children talk about their dreams (future) and show Ayu their talents. Ayu mouths a lot of "sugo~i" when she sees what the children can do hehe.

[1:33] Ayu is asked what kind of person she wanted to become when she was younger, or what kind of person she thought she would become. I cannot grasp it all now, but I -THINK- she said she thought "I thought I would become a person who loves their job, but...". But I am totally not sure right now. (Maybe someone can translate this ?)

[2:06] A girl asks Ayu what her favourite song is and she says: "I love them all but... in the end I think I like my most recently written songs the most, as they express what's on my mind right now, so I think I like new songs the best."

Then the children perform Voyage for Ayu, and during the performance Yocchan and Ayu whisper to each other how awesome it is. I love them nodding their heads to the music

[5:27] Dream Live Present from Ayumi Hamasaki.

At the end, Ayu reflects on the day. She says something about how, as you grow older (become an adult) there might be things you unconsciously forget, and how it would be nice to remember those things one more time. She says she really 'felt' that, during the day.

To the children and staff I think, she says: "it sure must have taken a long time to practice, I think you all haven't slept and felt nervous huh? Yocchan and I also had some nervous feelings, you know~. But we had so much fun. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories."

XD funny to think the last time I saw this video, I didn't know any Japanese, and now I'm studying it and I can understand most of what they say ;D

[Lizzyboo]

wow!!! thats so cool! i have never seen that before! what lucky kids! thanks for sharing Ianiee~ ^_^

[Queen Bee]

I haven't watched that video in forever. For those who were wondering when this went on it was back right before the release of &. The air date if I remember correctly was 06/25/2003. I wish Ayu had her hair like that again. I always loved that style.

[miskiq]

that seasons performance is just amazing

[SPEAKERnight.]

Tell me why this performance made me love SEASONS so much more. This song always made me love MOON too.

[se7entheaven]

she's so gorgeous

[Polyrhythm]

LOL......it sucks the most to have to perform for kids....because if they don't like it it shows easily on their faces Though I think those kids did a good job being respectful.
