lesliekeesuper: @GACKT We creators have the mission to create LOVE & HOPE for this beautiful world forever.♡ With respect to GACKT.

GACKT: @lesliekeesuper Thanks bro. We are not heroes, The true heroes are all victims, right? We need to meet up for the project and make it. OK?
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: It’s finally time to prepare to leave… Guess I have to do it. Everyone will continue today, just like yesterday. Let us be grateful that we are still living on. There will be no tomorrow for those who live a pointless today. This day which these people call today, is the day called tomorrow that some others are living for.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: The death count is over 20,000. The reality may be more severe. There will surely be some people who make light of this. For them, the death of 20,000 people is not a big deal. But when one loved one dies, it feels like 20,000 people had died to them. And that is why there is so much sorrow. It’s too big a blow to bear.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: There is no such thing as not dying. There are heaps of things that you may need to do. If you can take action, do so. If it is too dangerous, drop it if you can’t handle it. I think that is good enough. If you risk your life, who will come and rescue you if you get stuck? Now is not the time to do impossible things. That is the riddle of life. Just like rock. Right?
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: Even now, we are in the midst of a journey, bearing the burden of memories of loved ones who had passed away and living on. However, as the burden on your back increases, you learn to understand pain, and will be able to pass on the meaning of gentleness and life to the next era.
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: You may not understand me now, but that’s fine. Take your time, and it’ll be good if you can understand my meaning one day. What is most important is to feel the burden you are carrying and live on…
ayu_19980408: RT

GACKT: That is what age is. Carrying the burden of a memory of someone. That is the meaning of age. Right?

lesliekeesuper: At Shinjuku yesterday, athlete Akiyama and 25 other sports athletes held a 3-hour charity event at Shinjuku, which raised 1.13million yen in the end! For all followers who read about it on Twitter and gave support, I thank you each from the bottom of my heart. Please continue to support future charity events too.

Ayu_engLyrics: I want you to stare into my eyes and say my name… I want you to hold my hand and tell me it’ll be ok… 「I am…」

rikachanxx00: Good morning ayu-chan ＼(・o・)／ The tour will start at Saitama as usual, right? ☆ I’ll wait for you at Nagoya!!
ayu_19980408: It was decided yesterday that since the place is an evacuation centre now, we cannot use it as a tour venue m(_ _)m

yuki_Naturally_: I heard that because Saitama Arena will be used for events in April, its role as an evacuation centre will only be till the end of March… Will ayu-chan be using it?
ayu_19980408: We will not be using it.

miicolon: Does that mean a postponement? Or a cancellation?
ayu_19980408: I think that postponements are quite certain.

keisui_: So there will be alternative dates at an alternative venue?
ayu_19980408: Yes, we are working towards postponement, not cancellation, and many staff members are working hard for that right now m(_ _)m

stream_2002: A STAFF is working hard as a whole!! I’ll wait for the announcements~
ayu_19980408: Thank you!

Rock338: But other areas have already been selected to replace Saitama Arena as evacuation centres… Whether Saitama Arena wants to continue offering itself as an evacuation centre is up to them, right? So is it ok for ayu-san to just declare things like that?
ayu_19980408: What I said was just that we will not be using the place as a concert venue.

keisui_: You are so pure and without harmful intent. There are many fans waiting excitedly to see the live of this ayu-chan, please don’t forget that. We are greatful (^_-)
ayu_19980408: There isn’t a time when I forgot it. (^_−)−☆

richan22: Thank you, ayu. But I don’t understand what you said. Why isn’t there an official announcement about Saitama?
ayu_19980408: Not wanting to use it is my personal opinion. The announcements will be made by the company.

AHS2SA: Until the day when I meet ayu… I believe that we will surely meet… I’ll be waiting!! Hang on, A STAFF~~~~~ w(☆o◎)w
ayu_19980408: Thank you (*^_^*)

bunn_s2: At this time, we’ll have to wait for ayu-chan and her staff! But the team is together now, right ☆ So, please work hard, ayu-chan and staffs-san (^-^)
ayu_19980408: Thanks (￣^￣)ゞ☆

ayu_19980408: RT

sidmaofish0001: What I know. The person called Hamasaki Ayumi is not just your average popular celebrity. She is someone who carries on with her own will, and thinks before she speaks. I am amazed that how she never runs from things which she has decided on, and stand up to reality. This is something I won’t have realized without Twitter.
ayu_19980408: That has often created conflicts for me (｡-_-｡)

kepe07: I can really feel the thoughts and emotions ayu has for others, and her wish to protect all. I think there are many people who discuss about ayu’s behaviour. However, that is the only thing they focus on. Please continue to spread ayu’s beliefs. It will become support for those who are holding on like you. I believe in ayu’s honest emotions.
ayu_19980408: Yes, I will continue (*^^*)

nynt0915: Will the tour be postponed? Not cancellation, just postponement, I’m glad that I still have a chance to meet ayu. Please hold on. I’m hoping for a postponement. Please stay healthy this year too.
ayu_19980408: Thank you m(_ _)m☆

ayu_photo_bot: Even if something happens, I’ll keep protecting you with everything I have. [MY ALL]

minnajohn_photo: Onion-san has provided the company with a logistics centre. It’s really a wonderful office.
mikajohn: We’re saved!
ayu_19980408: Mama, everyone, thank you for all your love and courage!
mikajohn: I’ll bring your heart along too
ayu_19980408: I really cried.

ocratk: In a magazine called Ori Star, w-inds member Ryouhei talked about the time they went on ayu ready?, and about how ayu-chan took the time to memorize their song and perform it together with them, without giving an excuses, despite her busy schedule. He gave his thanks to ayu-chan too.
ayu_19980408: I love SUPER LOVER-kun– ♪

toshiaki080808: I respect the ayu-san who proceeds down the road she believes in, no matter what others say.
ayu_19980408: That’s because I have something to guide me on (*^^*)

GACKT: we are planning to have a huge event all over the world to help the victims in Japan. When i have the big event, the big project all over the world. I need your help,,,People all over the world, Can you give us a hand?

lesliekeesuper: Even the slum areas in Thailand are raising funds. People who live on a few hundred yen a day have accumulated a sum of 900k yen for Japan. A representative of the support organization that collected donations said “All these people in the slums have received help from Japan in the past. Now is the time to repay the kindness”. Thank you so much. http://bit.ly/hNbQVh

lesliekeesuper: The charity programme in Taiwan has gathered more than 4.1billion yen for the Eastern Japan Earthquake! When the programme was airing, about 2.1billion yen was collected, but the donations kept coming in, and 4 days later, there was more than 4.1billion yen. About 200 of Taiwan’s top talents gathered together to appeal for donations. Thank you from my heart. http://goo.gl/fb/c9tQ4

GACKT: I feel that now is the time to show the world why we exist. Let us do all that we can to help. For the country to recover, we may need more than 10 years of time, work and effort. If we cannot give hope to others, then we have no reason to exist. Let’s work hard, shall we?
ayu_19980408: Yep, I really agree, Gaku-chin. We need to be able to accept the different thoughts of every single person, in all their various forms.

GACKT: @sohtaishikawa It’s not something serious for me. I may be used to hearing insults, but that doesn’t mean they don’t hurt me. I just know how to control the pain. With my own will. As long as I can bear it, I will, and do all that I can. I’m not strong, I just don’t want to run away.

It may be bitter, but we cannot change the situation. Let us support each other, and work hard together. That was his important message.

UN1982: After so long, I had a dream. I can’t really remember what it was about. But when I woke up, I was crying. Was it a sad dream? Maybe that was why I cried. But it felt somehow refreshing!!!

UN1982: I’ll borrow it then. Big sis is small, so I’ll probably rest my chin on your head! Thank you.
