AYU’s Message
Happy New Year!! Yeah!!
Congrats to year 2002!!
Wow, such a celebration…
Oh, no. It’ll be too late by the time this issue comes out. Why? Because I’m writing the draft for this issue now in December.
“I hope everyone can safely welcome the new year–”
I live through my days imagining myself saying this to everyone. I guess you can call this a form of escape from reality. But I don’t care!!!!
I hope that everyone can read ViVi’s New Year issue with a smile on their faces… Alright, let me return to reality.
The year 2002 will be simple. Natural. I want to face up to myself. Pray for peace of mind.
By the way, the New album is complete!!!!!!!
The title is “I am…” Kuuu~, so happy.

A new face, Kuro-chan!! Please support him. (ViVi readers will know him.) He’s having a showdown with KOJI-kun. | |
|
2 |
During production. I was totally without make-up, so I can’t show my face to you. Sorry. | |
|
3 |
A final group photo after the jacket shoot for new album “I am…”!!!! Hmm?!! Some people seem to be missing… Oh well. We’re so cool—!! | |
|
4 |
As requested, from Chapter 1 of 2001. The costume I wore when singing evolution. Everyone stuck all the rhinestones on for me. Thank you. (cries) | |
|
5 |
Taken during the new “Panasonic” CM. By the way, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pronounce it as “Panachonic!!”… | |
|
6 |
My hunky manager Kou-chan. He himself admits that he’s a hunk, which is irritating. By the way, he’s totally an airhead. | |
|
7 |
We got the Nail Queen award. Version 2!! (bows!) Thank you, Bancho– *kiss* | |
|
8 |
Look! It’s Ayu santa!! He—–y!! (*Bancho had to wear this costume too. You alright?!!) | |
|
9 |
If she can, the princess will put on her knit cap, muffler and gloves, looking like a gangster chick. Everyone around the house teases me and asks “Are you a boxer?!” Why? Can’t everyone ask “Are you alright?!!!” instead? | |
|

Nailart during the Nail Queen Awards. *blush~* You’ve done it now, Kanako. Well done. *sparkles* | |
|
11 |
The original hunk manager Non-chan. He’s a rubik’s cube instructor. Go to him if you want to become an expert. | |
|
12 |
Ayu & Max Matsuura obsessed with rubik’s cubes now. Is this the start of another trend?!! | |

Here’s a photo of tasuku, for no reason (laugh). tasuku is Ayu’s nice arranger, who somehow somehow manages to make the princess’ ideal sound. Yo! Thank you for everything-. Please support us– | |
|
2 |
This was during production too. They’re incorporating the vocals now. This job needs amazing concentration and precise timing. Mr. Kumasaka!! | |
|

This was Panasonic’s press meeting. This Gucci sheepskin coat was shipped to me just in time. I was shocked to receive it | |
|
4 |
Congrats! 23rd B.D!! Well, I was shocked when Tou-chan appeared with a huge cake suddenly. I was so happy I did this peace sign. However, I totally broke down later. No, it wasn’t just me… Everyone, everyone, thank you~ *kiss* | |
|
5 |
The parka I wore that day is from “MESSAGE”. Unaffected by sudden events, they managed to make it as per the princess’ request, so so thankful!! “MESSAGE” is great. I recommend it to girls who like casual-style clothes. | |
|
6 |
That’s right, I did lots of radio appearances this month too. I got to meet Shuu-san (on the right in the photo!), and Yama-chan too. So glad that I could meet up with lots of people again. By the way, doesn’t Ayu look like Shuu-san in this photo?!! | |
|
7 |
This was backstage at the Panasonic event. As expected, the princess fell asleep once on the sofa. CHIKA-san and assistant Macchi were playing pranks on me. Look closely to see Bancho desperately doing my nails despite their antics. Sorry… | |

Erm–, today, I completed a schedule which would make most people go “are you kidding?!!” Well, here’s a group photo of all the TeamAyu members who worked really hard today. The princess is the inconspicuous one… Erm–, clockwise from the right, we have H&M’s CHIKA-san, nailist Bancho Kanako, H&M’s assistant Macchi, stylist assistant Nobita, stylist assistant Hanchin, Ushio and boss KOJI-kun. 3 of my managers refused to put on these hats!
By the way, the photograher was FANCLUB’s KAZ~ Yes!! Alright, the 3 features for this month are Walt Disney’s Snow White, Velfarre’s trance event, and Best Jeanist 2001.
However, I really wear lots of pink, almost on par with that Hayashiya couple Pei & Paa1…
Cya!
With love, Ayu

Konnichihuahua. This is CREA. I’m doing well. | |
|

Somehow, I was given the chance to cover Snow White’s “Someday, my prince will come”. It was my first time singing in English, so it was a super emotional recording. Fuu- | |
|
3 |
This was taken backstage, when I was teaching the staff an alternate count. I was acting out “It goes like this round and round~” | |
|
4 |
Yes, this was during the LIVE itself! Right in the middle of it! You know, one has to create this feeling to sing Trance– It’s so hard– But I seem happy. I seem to be having fun. | |
|
5 |
This was taken right before the Velfarre Trance event!! That’s how the princess looks 2 minutes before showtime. The heat from the venue made my nostrils flare. Yahoo– | |

Uuh-, so cold 
When it was so warm in the afternoon too- (((((。*ω*。))))
Bath! Time!
Bath! Time!
Bath! Time! ＼(^o^)／
It’s the best! (*^ω^*)
Aarin took an hour-long bath yesterday (laugh)
She loves aromatic fragrances~ 
Bathtimes are Aarin’s happy times (*´ω`*)
Shampoo, conditioner, body soap,
body cream, oil,
everything comes in her favourite fragrances (*∩ω∩)
It’s the time to relax~ 
Today, Aarin will upload a photo of her clothes from recent days! (`・ω・´)
The other members and staff
all praised her and said she looked “like an adult-”
It’s an all-black coordination! ♪
By the way,
she curled her own hair in the photo ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ
That was Aarin, with high heels and high girl power- (laugh)
