[Ayu's Diary] 24.04.2010: Thanks for waitin'-- ☆

Thanks for waitin'-- ☆
24 April 2010. 3:40am

Today was my off-day-- So!!!!!!!!!!!

Because I'm in Osaka...



I took a photo of this.

More under the cut!



Yep, I wanted to challenge that pose too, but because Dotonbori*1 was totally crowded during the weekend, the staff stopped me and I had to give it up.

I had Tou-chan do it for me instead. (laugh)

However, Chon-nan wanted to do the Glico pose*2 too, so she won't give up. We changed locations, and everyone from ayu staff had so much fun with this pose, we were all seriously sweating from it all. (laugh)

And tonight, I will share that with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, shall we begin?

"Round One. Which is the real ayu?"

Don't say it's stupid-- (laugh)

First, person #1.



Person #2.



Person #3.



Person #4.



Person #5. Hmm? Oh well. (laugh)



Person #6.



Person #7.



Well--

That looks kind of easy to do, 'cause you can see we're all doing it really well??? (laugh)

But actually, we seriously took 2 hours doing this. (laugh)

Everyone was having a huge discussion on how to pose so that we can produce the most beautiful silhouettes. (laugh)

It was so interesting, I was rolling around in laughter on the floor-- (LOL)

By the way...

This is the backstage of the photoshoot. Puu--



Everyone's so serious~ (LOL)

Facing the wall and doing something--



Ahh--, I'm really blessed to have the best staff, who gives me so much to laugh about everyday. Thank youuuu-- (laugh)

Everyone, do you know which is Chon-nan--

I'm waiting for your answer~!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I'll slip into workmode for a little bit here.

We did a video check!!!

And after some adjustments, we have a better stage...

Let's enjoy with all our hearts tomorrow too---!!!

Rock'n'Roll Circus一座、大阪にやってまいりましたぁー！！

昨日が大阪城ホール公演一日目だったわけですが、

あゆ座長を始め、出演者、スタッフ一同大阪のお客様のリアクションの良さにテンション上がりまくっております。

明日、明後日の公演も皆さん一緒にブチ上がっちゃいましょー↑↑↑



さてさて、大阪と言えば、、、、、

単純な我々はこれ↓を思い浮かべてしまいます。



た～こ～や～き～★


毎回公演場所ごとに美味しいケータリングが用意されているのですが、

大阪では出来たてのたこ焼きを食べることができるんです。

美味しそうな匂いに誘われて常に行列ができています。


そしてそのたこ焼きを手にご満悦の表情を浮かべているのは



ミスたこ焼き、、、、、、ではなくAダンサーCHISAさんです♪


そして見事な手さばきでたこ焼きをクルクルひっくり返しているのは

わざわざたこ焼き屋さんから出張して頂い、、、、、、ではなくキョードー大阪の和木さんです♪

和木さんに焼いて頂くなんて本当に贅沢で恐れ多いのですが、

食いしん坊な僕達のために腕をふるって下さっています。

タコのエプロンがなんともお似合いです☆

ありがとうございますm(__)m



ではまた大阪ならではの舞台裏を お届けするので楽しみにしていて下さい！！！

The Rock'n'Roll Circus troupe has arrived in Osaka--!!

And while yesterday was just the first show at Osaka Jou Hall,

starting with troupe leader ayu, the performers, staff and everyone at Osaka were so responsive, and spirits were really high.

Let's continue with this good mood together for tomorrow and the day after as well-- ↑↑↑


And so, because it's Osaka.....

The thing that we simple people thought of was this ↓



Ta~ ko~ ya~ ki~ ★

Everywhere we go to perform, super delicious catering will always be prepared for us. And when we come to Osaka, we get to eat takoyaki.

And because of its tempting delicious smells, a line will always form for it.

And here, takoyaki in hand and a blessed expression on their faces are...



Mr. Takoyaki ☆... And of course A-DANCER CHISA-san ♪

And the splendid person flipping those takoyakis, who specially came down from his takoyaki store to make these for us.....

Is none other than Kyodo Osaka's Yawaragi-san ♪

Though Yawaragi-san was actually extremely anxious about undertaking this task, he still went through with it for us gluttons!!

Somehow, his octopus apron gave a great taste to the food too ☆ (laugh)

Yawaragi-san, thank you so much m(__)m

And soon, I'll be uploading some backstage photos from Osaka, so look forward to it!!!

The first show at Osaka Jo Hall yesterday, was the most passionate and energetic ever since the Rock'n'Roll Tour started!!

It was seriously awesome-----!!!!!

So great, that it's alright even though there was a miss during one of the quick changes. (laugh)

Thank you, so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was totally enjoyable-- ♪

More under the cut!!

Oh.

Everyone--, I don't mean to compare Twitter to here... not at all.

That's what Chon-nan thinks.

That's why!! This is TA here.

More special to me than anywhere else, a precious place.

Nothing can compare to here.

Because TA exists, that's why I can go on, that's how I feel inside.

So, photos of Chon-nan has never and will not be uploaded onto Twitter. Basically, as I've said in yesterday's MC session, Twitter just gives me a chance to talk to foreign fans in English, and that makes me happy.

And because I can talk to everyone freely like this, I'm really happy too ☆

Anyway--, there's no need to feel worried or anxious or anything!

No need to feel abandoned!!

Yep, look, because the heavens ride on Chon-nan's hand---!!! ↓



(laugh)

I wonder if you can see this?

That blu-ish white light, that's heaven, shining "bowa~n"

Doing that was really fun. (laugh)

Oh, the next one is a photo taken by Yo-chan of Chon-nan taking a photo of the band that Minazou picked to be uploaded onto Twitter.

Did you understand that explanantion? (laugh)

I think it'll be easier if you look at it, don!!



You understand now, right------ (laugh)

What shall I do today--------

Whatever happens, we'll have to plan for tomorrow and the day after's shows--

I'll come again later, nyon--

Love love chuu--
