Today...

2010/02/26 03:10 | ayu

What did you all draw on your own canvas today?

If what you drew today is the best for you,
I hope you keep walking with the canvas in your arms tomorrow, too.

And, to the canvas, keep on adding new things
which you sensed on the new day called tomorrow.

If what you drew today didn't make you satisfied,
or if you couldn't draw anything today,
let's try again tomorrow. With me.

So that we can show our canvases to each other
when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom!!!!!!!



Barbee Boys, which is delivered today, from Enrique-san.
Full of my favorite songs. It's the greatest.

25th February, 2010 12:47am

Recently, my heart has been like a lost child.



Maybe it's because I've become a little tired, in these days when various things somehow seem to happen one after another--

I've been totally neglecting to update here. So sorry!!

Even though I've written things like "I'll upload lots of photos of rehearsals!"-----

But even if I'm driven by obligation to update here often, I don't think I'll be able to say anything at all.

A line-up of words, without any substance.

That's why, I've exposed the lie behind my smile to everyone!!

I shouldn't do that. I shouldn't.

No, maybe I already did. Maybe I did it sometime already.

...So did I or did I not? (laugh)

Oh well, anyway!!!

I should go have a good night's rest... And when I open my eyes, Mr.Sun will be there to welcome me, and a new day will begin ☆

On a new white slate ☆

And I can fill it up with any drawings and words I want. ☆

It'll be all up to me.

So, I'll try telling myself "Isn't that a wonderful thing~!!!"

Yep, I'll be alright.

Tomorrow will come again.

[Info] Rock 'n' Roll Circus Title Is Not Only Used By Ayu

It's very surprising when i found this is out! So many artists/producers are interested in using Rock 'n' Roll Circus as their title album or title song!

This is probably a techno albu, or remix by the so called Nakatsu Katakeshi, reading through his profile (not that i understand Japanese), but from the words there, like CM, TVCM, guess that he's the specialist in creating CM songs? lol~

oh well, his cover for the album is really GOOD! very well created!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, eh? ♡

Because it fell on a weekend this year, did everyone have the the best day???

When I think about Valentines, lots of different ideas come to mind. But in Japan, Valentine's Day seems more of girls giving chocolates to guys, eh?

Then, on White Day, the boys give gifts to the girls in return... That's right, isn't it? (If I'm wrong, please comment!!)

But, Valentines for Chon-san doesn't involve boy-girl relationships, or just love in the romance kind of way. It's about giving gifts and cards to all those people whom I love, in a wider sense of the word. ♡

That's why, starting with Bancho, and of course everyone from ayu STAFF, and the working team, and the friends team, had received this in the past few days ☟



I gave out the super delicious hanaBi chocolates~ ♪

There were also other small gifts and message cards to go with it, catered to each and every person. ♡

And for the babies at home, I gave them a cute pink cake, made especially for dogs ♡ Everyone was so pleased-

All you girls out there, have you all watched this movie, SEX AND THE CITY???

In this one scene, Charlotte's little adopted daughter gave a Valentine's day card to Carrie, who was at an emotional crossroads. ♡

That was my favourite scene-

That kind of feeling, is not only present in America. Surely, if Valentine's Day is not distinguished by age or gender, but, that we exchange feelings of love and gratitude from everyday life, this day will surely be wonderful!!!

That's what I think. Hohoho ♪

And so~, we had band rehearsals today.

From tomorrow on, dance rehearsals will start as well~

And then, there's still more PV filming left for the new song~~~

The weather's going to be bad, so I must look after my body well~!!!!!!!!!!

Lately, Chon-san has been eating "Avocado and Seaweed Tsukudani*1" everyday, after seeing Suu-san praise it on [Suba-blog]*2~.

Someone, please teach me the correct way to remove the avocado's seed~ (laugh)

That's all~♡

I've troubled everyone...

All those who got so so worried about me, I'm sorry.

And then, for sending in so many messages, thank you!!!

I'm fine!!!

Because I'm not alone.

Yes, I received a mail from Peco-san in the middle of the night, even.

"Because we're always here for you", she said.

Even all my friends contacted me.

And so with this, I feel that I'm really very lucky, to be protected and surrounded by a stong iron wall made of so much~ love. It's changed my opinions, and today, I want to be able to raise my head high, to withstand whatever is thrown at me, and continue walking on.

Everyone, please have a wonderful weekend ☆

Ah!

Because everyone has been saying that they wanted to see the change in size of Papino-sans more clearly... I said I would take a photo if I had the opportunity. Some time ago, they were amazingly lined up perfectly, asleep.



It's easy to see now~!!! Papiko is huge~!!!!!

　逮捕容疑は昨年１２月下旬、浜崎さんが所属する「エイベックス・グループ・ホールディングス」（東京都港区）の松浦勝人社長（４５）から現金を脅し取ろうと、同区内の浜崎さんの自宅あてに「（松浦社長は）１週間以内に指定する口座に５億円を送金しろ。さもなければ自宅を放火して丸焼きにしてやる。親分の指示だ」などと書いた封書を郵送したとしている。

　同署によると、藤井容疑者は郵送した封書に自分の住所や氏名を書き込んでいた。浜崎さんや松浦社長と面識はなかったという。

On the 12th, Shibuya Metropolitan Police arrested Motokichi Fujii* (42) at his place of employment in Nishishin-cho 1, Akashi, Hyogo on charges of extortion after he sent a threatening letter to singer Ayumi Hamasaki's residence and attempted to extort money from the president of Avex Group Holdings, the parent company of Avex Management. Shibuya police are investigating how he obtained Ms. Hamasaki's home address.

"Deposit ¥500 million in the specified bank account within one week. Otherwise, I'm gonna burn the company president's house down. Boss's orders," wrote the suspect in a letter mailed to Ms. Hamasaki's home, trying to extort money from the company president. According to Shibuya police, he has admitted to the charges.

Fujii brought up names of other female singers belonging to Avex Management and made arson threats. His identity surfaced as he had written his full name and address on the envelope.

Steady.



Steady.



Slow and steady.



Zoom zoom.

Here.




Hmm?

So many... people-------------------------!!



Whoa-----------------------

What meeting was it?



As~ to~ that~...

There was Shingo-san and Peco-san with a pink fluffy hat,



and JK-san who writes a super blog, and Wiki Nobita,



and gold-and-black Shu-chan,



and Suu-san with his boyish smile,



and Maro-nii*1 who was grinding his teeth,



and Kayano-chi, who was my sister in glasses,



and Zin-san, who was so dark because of the sun that he could not be seen unless he stood in the light,



and Chon-san, who was really serious,



and Chon-san, who talked lots,



and Chon-san, who was checking the materials,



and Chon-san, who suddenly stood up and made a ranting speech,



and Kome, who was grinning as he nodded off to sleep,



and Jacky-ojiichan*2, who worked hard in his old man's glasses.



It was a big meeting, when everyone from the Tour family came together~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We probably carried on all the way into the night. It was a really good time.

And with this, we pur ourselves in order, all aligned to a common goal, and started off together.

Please really look forward to this year's tour ☆

It's really~ good. Almost too good to be true.

Yes, we've got a stage now, and have powered-up from the last time, and will once again tour the entire country this year in one sitting...

And so, first with the creation of the stage, let's go~~~~~~ ☆

I'll upload some more photos of rehearsals and stuff later on.

So look forward to that ♡



Papiko-san and Pino-san seem to look forward to it too ♡
