Yankeez → I meant, Yankees

Oh dear, sorry for all the typos… ^^;

I get the feeling that I’m probably
worse at spelling than the average person!…

…What’s worse,
I don’t even have a large vocabulary in the first place ^^;

Mama
always tells me that I have to watch more TV
and read more newspapers and books (・Θ・;)

Yep…Well, I do listen to lots of music!

Ah! Yes yes,
There’s this song on bankband that I’ve been listening to lots lately ♪

It’s a song by GOING UNDER GROUND-san
It’s just so cool,
and after I found it on Google
I just can’t stop listening to it (*^Θ^*)

Ah! And salyu-san too
And Okamura Yasuyuki-san, who likes Kahlua and Milk
And Rebon and Strange Chameleon
I like them all, so I always search for their original songs to listen

And my list of favourite songs grows longer slowly
This feeling of a wide knowledge of music is really exciting ♪
(Oh! I listen to Western music too-)

And then, any song
that’s performed by Sakurai-san, will just become Sakurai-san’s song

That’s true for all musicians
When they sing a song, it is reborn with their voice and perspective

That’s why I love listening to song covers (*’-’*)

It’s like~ A new perspective created by the band

And when the fans come in as well,
it becomes a single entity!!

That feeling of creating music together

That feeling of looking each other in the eyes, coordinating their breathing and timing
Making each and every moment the best

I can’t describe it well,
but playing in a band and doing collabs
creates that moment of sound which is felt by everyone present
That feeling of one-ness that is shared
is just so wonderful to me (*’-’*)

Ah! I’ve always thought this,
but it’s my first time putting it into words ^^;

Ahh- I wanna attend live concerts soon-
I wanna do a live concert soon-

I wanna feel music with everyone! (*>∀<*)

P.S.
Yesterday,
we were at the National Stadium
for a BLT cover photoshoot-
Shinoyama Kishin-san was our cameraman!
Looking forward to his work

Notes:
1. BLT refers to Beautiful lady’s television, a Japanese magazine.

Wrapping up the 15th Anniversary year, Ayu x ViVi 2-month consecutive print release project!!

Part 1:
First photobook since “uraayu ayumi hamasaki asian book”,
Photobook “ayu” on sale now!!

Part 1 is an exclusive photobook shot at her residence in L.A. Clad in her own fashion, the book features scenes from her real life, relaxed expressions that cannot be seen anywhere else, and photos of her wrapped in sheets in her private bedroom. An up-close and personal encounter with a smiling ayu, almost within reach, surrounded in a warm atmosphere!

Part 2:
Much-awaited LIFE STYLE BOOK now in production!!

Part 2 is a LIFE STYLE BOOK which fans have been waiting for for the past 2 years, produced under ayu’s own direction!! Starting with snapshots of ayu’s usual must-have items and personal fashion style, she also reveals her beloved cosmetics and beauty items, her private residences in Tokyo and L.A., the Hamasaki household gourmet, and recommended dream-like travel spots!

making report

A special feature of the backstage of the LIFE STYLE BOOK, currently in production!
Let us introduce some scenes from the meeting to wrap up the book!

Contents: fashion, beauty, interior, food, travel, family, etc…

Captions from top to bottom:

1. All photos, such as scenes of her residence and other places throughout the world were supplied by ayu. This huge collection to be used in the LIFE STYLE BOOK had to be rearranged in order, and the process had to be repeated many times. Starting with the cover, ayu checked through every detail and item which she wished to deliver to her readers.

2. After selecting the best photos, the staff team held a meeting to review the selection and decide if some shots were to be retaken. After a long thought process, this 2-year overdue work was born.

3. All featured items belong to her private collection, as she directed the artistry behind each and every shot!!
