Ueto Aya

Jinzo: You don't have to stay in Nerima, you can stay in Ikebukuro Kimi Ryokan, its reallly a budget ryokan but a lot of foreigners stay there. Shared bathrooms and a cosy room with 2 futons. Around 60+ USD for 3 nights sleep. From there you can directly take the seibu ikebukuro line to Nerima :D Its very close so the ride is short :D

Just note that in the morning a lot of people are running around esp since a lot of people travel down to the main line from Nerima. :sweat:

Oh~~~ I know Kimi Ryokan. I had stayed there some years ago when I visited Tokyo. Yes, it's very a 'budget ryokan', but it's clean anyway, so it's alright to me. :mrgreen:

It's really a good suggestion. Okay, if I get chance to go to Tokyo, I'll take your kind advice and watch the sakura in Nerima :mrgreen:

@candyman, I also want to watch Azumi on a big screen in the theatre. But no chance, as the HK official DVD has just released. :shamefulcry:

you got plenty months to think up of something.

Well.....if anything you can draw multiple things related to what Aya has done to bring some sort of joy into your life.


Like say a drawing of her as her character from AP, Hotelier, and even a pic of her coming from her singles??? 3 pics on paper or so.....

I don't know, just an idea. Welll.....as they say Ganbare! you'll be able to think of something nice.

Hey, you can write some simple messages either in english or japanese on a piece of paper, sign it (and you may ask your friends who also like aya to sign too), then send it to me by mid July. So that I can send it in a go to aya with the messages and signatures from other aya fans. It's a campaign held by the chinese fan club for aya's b-day. Please do support if you're interested. :woot:

PV of Yei lai xiang in japanese ? -_-" I like the chinese version more, even if it is modified in studio :mrgreen: I hope it isn't a "fake" PV, i.e only with pieces of scenes extracted from the drama. Would be cool to see the whole scene in which she is with the white chinese dress.
btw on the amazon link you gave, It can't be the dirctor's cut version => 241 minutes :sweat: It's the same duration, i.e 2x 2hours :sweat:

I was browsing Yahoo!Auctions(Taiwan) and saw these card collections. They are really expensive, :bleh: but some of these don't even appear to be in Uety's wiki, yet(?)
http://www.uety-cafe.com/blog/2007/04/z1vpc.html

FYI, not sure if they are actually rare or not

Don't know about you guys but I never saw these 10x15 cm (or is it 17x21 ?) photos. They are really nice. Especially the ones taken in Korea ! And especially this one (right one) [image]
:shocked: :D

Which currency is it in taiwan ? Can u convert it to dollar ? If the prices are in CHinese Yuan well it's over expensive :bleh:

Hotelier ep 2 english subs : http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_47630_0.htm RIght click -save as on the link "episode 2"

edit : hmm I'm a bit fed up with all these resucitation scenes badly executed. Man it's 15 pressures with your hands (and more porwerful than shown in the drama) then 2 blowings in the mouth and then again :grumble: How are they gonna do if there's no AED support someday -_-""" Here for exmaple we don not have these AED luggage in hotels etc.

I missed those ones. :bleh:
He/she wrote that they are official photos from Aya's fan club in Japan. Only members could get them. 5 groups with 3 photos in each group.

Yikes! :bleh: 15USD each. :sweat:
Well, at least we get to see them online.

Good question. But look at the back cover of the DVD (which is provided in Uety's blog). What the green box points out is that 'some scenes' cut during OA (i.e. on air) will be added in this version.'
[image]
In other words, the scenes added may be just very short, let's say 2-3 mins, I suppose.
