mikajohn: ayu!!
ayu_19980408: Whoa, I just saw this! Yes, what’s up, Mama???

ayu_19980408: Let us share our precious moments today too. I’m glad that you are yourself.
dog1227_1102: Is that Pino in the top left? So cute 󾬍 Good night, ayu~ ☆(^^*)
ayu_19980408: It’s Papiko. Good night ☆

kaneher: Since the beginning, your small body has always held so much power. You know pain better than anyone, and YOU were the one whom I managed to share my hidden pain with in the past. Please hold on. No, I’ll say let us help each other with all we’ve got, instead.
ayu_19980408: Yea! It’s been such a long time, thinking of everyone’s faces reminds me of that nostalgic school uniform (*^^*)

nwe88: How’s your hair now?
ayu_19980408: In a topknot ☆

ayu_19980408: My little bro said he’ll call me, but my phone’s not ringing. Has anyone been pranked by little bro like this before?
UN1982: I was just gonna call! (laugh)
ayu_19980408: Bakuude.
UN1982: Bakuude? Bakuude, right?! (laugh)
ayu_19980408: My tummy hurts ＿|￣|○

UN1982: @yamadamic Thank you so much for yesterday! It was really fun. The sakura, the stars, Yama-chan’s friends, everything was perfect–.
yamadamic: Yosh! Bring your big sis along next time too!
ayu_19980408: Long time no see~ ♪ Are you talking about me?
yamadamic: Yes! I haven’t been seeing you! Invite the both of us next time!
ayu_19980408: Erm, so I’m inviting little bro and Yama-chan, not the other way round? Eh? (laugh)

UN1982: Just look through your message history! LOL.
ayu_19980408: Don’t tell everyone!! It’s embarrassing! (laugh)

ayu_19980408: Yes, little bro has already announced this to everyone. About last night’s prank call from little bro, it wasn’t in my sent box, but in the drafts folder. The conclusion is, analog phones are still the best. Thank you!

ayu_19980408: Oh, little bro just taught me about it just now, but I never knew the existence of a drafts folder before this. Seems like there were lots of mails that never got sent out. Everyone, sorry about this. Don’t take it to heart ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

UN1982: Yama-chan’s stars are awesome!
ayu_19980408: That sounds a little strange?
UN1982: Yeah it does! (laugh) I’m just too excited!
ayu_19980408: Yama-chan and stars.
UN1982: What! (laugh)
ayu_19980408: Yama-chan is a star.
UN1982: Far-fetched.
ayu_19980408: You’re mean!

ayu_19980408: “Yama-chan is a star.” makes Yama-chan sound like some kind of ray of hope. Awesome. And because it’s awesome, let’s leave it at that.

aaami7ex: ayu! It’s an awesome word, but just what does Bakuude mean? (^^)
ayu_19980408: You’ll have to ask the person who coined the term “supissun”. Mystery word part 2.

ayu_19980408: Band rehearsals, dance rehearsals, everything’s awesome. Really awesome. The atmosphere is just wonderful. Everything that is the best continues to be upgraded. And because I can feel it all in my skin, the tears just came. Everyone in the troupe face every single day with the utmost sincerity, and that has made me believe. This year’s tour cannot go wrong.

mikajohn: Good morning. I overslept, and now my body aches!
ayu_19980408: Morning Mama. Your daughter has just finished work for today, and is going to bed. Good night ☆

yamadamic: The broadcast at Kamaishi will start at 13:00. Is Fukushima shaking again?… It’s been one month since that day. I will continue talk connect with everyone even when on the move if I can, and will do it the whole day.
ayu_19980408: Yama-chan’s the best ☆

peacefulmind13: We’ll never give up, right? ← Just like Gakkun
ayu_19980408: Masa says that too (*^^*)

teamayu0408: Thank you, Masa-san, for nurturing Hamasaki Ayumi.
ayu_19980408: Thank you m(_ _)m

Thanks_ar1gat0u: I think its very important to give thanks to the staff and fans. But my grandparents are in Fukushima now. They have nowhere to hide. In my anxiety, I sent off that tweet to ayu-chan hoping that she will give me a reply. I am your fan too. I’m TA. Even so, the quakes don’t stop. That’s all I wanted to say. But I’m now receiving criticisms from all the other fans. Have I really said something that bad?
ayu_19980408: In times like this, one must give thanks when one can still do so. I’m really sorry if mine came at the wrong time.
(refer to previous tweet here)

ryuureisu: Let’s take action without panicking. If children are crying, let us call out to them. Let us talk to those precious to us. Let us be honest. Let us smile. If we are crying, let us cry and wait for tomorrow. I am praying for whoever is reading this, for them to have a good day. Please RT this.
ayu_19980408: RT

ryuureisu: I cannot provide any direct help to all those in need. However, I can feel love for someone. Either the people close by, or the countless Japanese out there, I love love love love you all. I wish to send you courage through the power of “words”. So let us all send out our courage. Please RT this.
ayu_19980408: OK (*^^*)

hanimoco: We should not embrace fear and anxiety, but just let it go. It’s ok to be ignorant. It’s ok to scream out. That way, another person feeling the same way can receive comfort too.
ayu_19980408: Yes, I agree. On top of that, we should persevere. Many people will say that is ironic, but we know our own hearts.

momoka07: That’s why, even when we tell someone to hold on or be courageous, it may actually give them more mental stress. Humans are just complicated
ayu_19980408: Yes. We should say “Let us hold on!” instead of “Hold on!”, right? ☆

shishu_ya: Looking at everyone’s TLs, I feel that Japan is not lost yet. Because everyone is thinking of what they can do for others, that alone is enough to guarantee Japan’s recovery. I believe in the Japanese!
