ayu_19980408: TA is updated.

ayu_19980408: The TA entry this time is a long essay. And because it’s something which I wish to say to everyone in TA, I’ll be happy if you would please read through it slowly and with a calm mind when you have the time. m(_ _)m

mai214690: Is ayu-chan meeting up with the macho men? (￣▽￣)
ayu_19980408: Meeting up? More like being surrounded. Okei-chan comes to fix my costume more than usual. (laugh)

ayu_19980408: I heard that you asked “Is ayu really a human?” (laugh)

alex_ramon: Well, you’re right (^_^;) But for ayu, who has 500k followers, to announce my status in the naked clan. I think that will cripple my future quite a bit… (laugh)
ayu_19980408: LOL. Well, Alex was the hunk who made an appearance in Chapter 2 of ever free. ← Does that help? (laugh)

Because there were so many people here for filming today, we needed to make everyone feel safe with the situation…

ayu_19980408: All the staff who were working near the ceiling, and all the actors who had to climb to high spots, managed to escape unharmed. Phew… I’m so glad…

ayu_19980408: One of the songs little bro and I performed yesterday was for a very very precious person. So when we sing it, that person’s face naturally came to mind. During the show, as we stood on stage, we saw many girls crying. How would that person look? With a smile, or with tears? I’m sure little bro felt the same as I did too (*^^*)

atarusa: That song can’t be described in words. I managed to stop my tears. But when I listened crying to that song… I felt like I was alone, and thinking of my loved one. ayu-chan, it’s a wonderful song.
