[News] Ayumi Hamasaki at Taipei Night Market

[isaac hiew]

濱崎步這次來台就是要彌補五年前不能「趴趴造」的遺憾！即將於本週六在台北小巨蛋開唱的濱崎步，於21日晚 上現身台北，突擊了人潮眾多的士林夜市，引起一陣騷動，此外她還到「凡間」和「頂上魚翅」用餐，到晚上11 時許才回到下塌的晶華酒店，度過在台灣的第一個晚上。

為了能有更充裕時間準備台灣演唱會的濱崎步，突然改變計畫提前在21日晚上抵達台灣，因為五年前訪台不到2 4小時，讓步姐什麼都沒逛到，於是這次一下飛機就直衝士林夜市，讓許多逛街的民眾驚呼不可思議，因為「濱崎 步」竟然就這樣出現，「漂亮、可愛」等讚美聲不斷，紛紛拿起手機或相機搶拍這天上掉下來的奇蹟 。

濱崎步在保全和工作人員的雙重戒護下在夜市逛了近30分鐘，她先是在一家冰店挑選許久，最後帶走了一碗泡泡 冰，之後又到一家賣日系商品的店，買了點小東西，才滿足的離開士林夜市去用餐；步姐在逛街的途中聽到粉絲喊 加油，她開心的用英文回應：「THANK YOU」，她的親切程度和五年前被批耍大牌實在差很多。濱崎步會在22日晚上7時30分於台北晶華酒店1F 的「晶華會」舉辦媒體見面會，23日進行彩排工作，24日正式在小巨蛋開唱。

Ayumi had come to Taiwan to redeem her regrets on being unable to tour around Taiwan on her visit of the island five years ago! The songstress, who will be performing in her very first Asia Tour at Taipei Dome on this Saturday (24/3/2007), suddenly shows herself in Taipei’s famous and crowdy Shi Ling night market caused much attention and ruckus among the pedestrians. She even went to two restaurants namely the “Fan Jian” (Mortal Realm) and “Ding Shang Yu Chi” (Top Shark’s Fin) to have dinner, and returned to her hotel at around 11 p.m. thus spending her first night in Taiwan.

Ayumi, since wanted much to have more time preparing for her Taiwan Concert, suddenly changed her plan and arrived at her destination a day earlier at 21st March evening. Due to her last visit 5 years ago that let her toured nothing at all; she rushed to the said night market immediately after her touch down at the airport. Her appearance had amazed a lot of folks at the area because the ever-famous Ayumi Hamasaki just turns up right in front of them. Praises like “kirei, kawai”for her beauty follows her whenever she goes and they of course did not forget to take down her shots using their camera phones along the way to capture such a miraculous event.

Under protection of staffs and security personnel, Ayumi spent some 30 minutes window shopping at the scene. She firstly went to a blended-ice corner and took a long while before leaving with a bowl of bubble-blended-ice, after that she went inside a store that sells Japanese-goods to purchase some items, before leaving the night market contently. She heard her fans yelled, “ganbatte” at her during her tour, and she answered “Thank you” in English happily, such a friendly attitude was a big difference compared her visit five years ago, when she was criticized for being proud.

Ayumi Hamasaki will hold a press meeting conference at Jing Hua Hotel’s first floor, and rehearsal following the next day, before holding her concert at Taipei Dome on 24th March.

i don't remember her being criticised as proud..but i do know she was late for the hong kong fan meeting. but thanks for the info!!

I JUST SAW HER TAIWAN PRESS CONFERENCE ON TV!!! She's wearing a white hair band!! VERY PRETTY!! They talked about she went to Shi Lin because she read about it in a tour book that her fan gave her, and she liked it a lot so she just went down like that.

She also managed to eat a fruit she likes a lot from 5 yrs back, and her staff had to buy 4 different kinds before she finally got the correct one the last try. She's very happy now
