Ueto Aya

Yeah ! Nubs, do it ! I still regret today not to have talked about Aya-chan to the few japanese people I've ever met 2 years ago in a plane. Who knows ? They may be very helpful !
I shall remind you that a lot of Aya's vacation destinations are recommanded by her kind manager, whom she travels with. Last example in mind : Thailand, end of 2006. Sooo, imagine you ever meet the assistant of Aya's manager .... it should normally be a woman, so be attentive to women ok ? I know you're british, i.e gentleman, but please try to catch a few details of their job. Or else go frankly and ask "do u know Ueto Aya-san :mrgreen: ?" Though I don't recommand that method, it may be the only way to find out : as it's a bath and as they are women, I guess you can just briefly talk with them at the entrance. Or else ask your female colleagues to find out for u :beaten: Or else ask their husband at the male side :beaten:
Even if u don't catch a manager from oscar, you can reasonably hope to catch a fan. It may be very helpful too (to buy tickets for the live tour for example .... *cough* *cough*)

its always the woman who talk loads where i work. you usually get a huge gang of them dive into the shop! its kinda funny though as they all tend to buy the same thing like someone decides to buy something so they all do! i usually get between 20-40 plus japanese customers a day but how many i serve or speak to depends if i'm there or if they come to my till.
sometimes i get angry when i get americans buying stuff with credit cards as they take forever and its usually at times like that that the japanese customers come in!
i'm waiting for aya-chan to come. on the t-shirt mention about her coming to bath on holiday :D

Ahhh so u work in the shop not in the "bath" itself. Okayyy, more time available to talk with customers indeed. :say_yes: Well depends on the situation. Thanks for commenting your job.
Lol japanese women all buy the same thing ? I guess they just walk in mass too. Lol so if u want to talk with one, you'll actually talk to the whole group. Aren't u a bit overflowed / destabilized with the crowd ? Haha that's great, you can ask the whole group AT ONCE if they like Aya-chan :woot: ... if u dare :hehe: . Anyway tell your colleague to leave every japanese group to you (she'll only come when u're lost lol). And if u still cannot catch every japanese entering into the shop, well put a headband saying "Ueto Aya UK Supporter !" Sure u'll catch the fan if there is one. :woot:

Hmmm maybe we should put Bath,England on the T shirt you're right. So that Aya will be o_O "Bath ?", and with a bit of luck she'll find out that's actually a town and not a trivial joke. Candy what do u think ?

edit : AAAAAHHH actually the Roman baths are museums now ! :bonk: I thought the baths themselves were renovated and put again in service, i.e working, i.e people could really have a bath like romans :bonk: :bonk: Aaahhh okay. Hmmmm too bad. I would have loved to spend a thermal day like roman, I once did a report on caracalla therms when I was in High School.

haha yes they all buy the same stuff and come in groups. its funny cos they ask directions and they come up to me and try saying it in english badly, then i reply by giving them directions in japanese that gets them laughing!
i would wear an aya banner but i'm not allowed to wear anything like that :(
oddly enough bath is twined (is that the right term?) to a japanese hot spring city so maybe if aya goes there....

U mean there's a japanese hot spring city next to the museum of roman baths ? Wierd ... hot spring city in England ? lol ? Hot ? Spring ? In England ? lol ? joke ? It's freezing cold in ur country ! What temperature is it in Spring ?

------------
Btw I just watched an old tv talk of Aya (2005.02.07) and she's speaking about how to make a ... Natto Pizza :wow: ?? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: She's so happy explaining it that I can't help myself thinking it cannot be anything else but TASTY. Still have to taste the thing though.

Haha natto!!!Food of the Tokyo-jins!!!It's healthy but it looks scary and the taste is even more scary!!!One small natto sushi into my mouth and I can say that's it for natto trial.How do one even stomach something that tastes...acidic?!?

Haha anyone tried before natto here?

well basically a large area of bath, due to some natural reason that i have no idea, has hot water that pumps up from the earth and forms a pool/water warm enough to bathe in.
this area the celts used to go to to worship then the romans came and invaded and built a huge baths around there where they used to go and relax in the water.
they also used to believe it had healing powers and used to throw in curses etc to the Gods.
its not a hot spring like you think of in japan (especially as you can#'t really go in the water anymore, you used to but not anymore...)
but the water is still hot and the ancient roman buildings around it still (or partly) stand and thats why its the most popular place in the UK to visit after london.
its pretty impressive really. anyway i suppose thats why its twined with a japanese hot spring, cos of the whole hot water, bath side....
there isn't a hot spring next to bath. when cities are twined it means that a city in one part of the world is...not sure exactly how to word it, but its joined in a sense. usually its due to some historical or natural similarity. it doesn't really mean anything, maybe it just means in a tourist aspect more people from those cities joined go to the other...?

Please check is there's a problem. I also added some old members from pages before 1000, I chose who's a supporter and who's not by checking his/her posting history (% of aya-related posts and content of the post). I know they may be no more interested in Aya's adventures, so I take a little risk, but I did write their names by respect. I am conscious that it is pointless to write the names of every person who could have been a fan for at least a month since her career debut (or even before), because in that case the list would never end and, concerning those whom I haven't written the name, they must not be supporters anymore.

Well, the pre-list before came right from my memory, so it was fast, around 30 mins. The complete list, to be sure not to have forgotten eveyone, well, maybe 2h checking the thread at different moments of its existence, trying to figure out whether or not this person is a fan and not just a no-life person playing around, and so again for another person etc. For sure I've missed a few people.
ABout your message, I bet it won't be finished yet tonight. :hehe: Don't take it bad, but lol lots of people in this thread say "yeah I ll sen it to you by next week jinzo" and nothing pops up lol. Plus, now I've done mine, I can tell u it's not that easy and need several days of thikning before, even more if a good idea doesn't pop up in ur mind :beaten: . Well that's if u wanna do something more than "happy b-day/ omedeto" of course. xD
Please Thy, tell me from which state you are from (for the tshirt project) If u don't want it's okay we'll just write USA.

Washington State! Thanks! I'm scanning my stuff right now. I couldn't bring myself to send a picture over so I drew one =p Not sure if that was the right decision. I'll be PMing you Jinzo! Thanks again dude.

STOP DISSING ME SANGO!! gosh man, You don't talk to your seniors like that :beatyou: I did it in like 10 minutes haha not much to think. After I did it, I thought I was missing stuff which I wanted to add.

Btw guys, i took my japanese placement test for my University and I totally bombed it! I didn't know my japanese was that bad. I can't translate all their sentences and I don't know what particles to add. Gosh. My community college didn't teach me much. I'm ashamed at my lack of skill. The test was so hard that they said you don't get marked down for wrong answers. That's when I started guessing

:hehe:

Tell me what you guys think.

Here's part of my message. Does my writing look good? Do you know what I'm saying? Maybe it's bad japanese. I don't really know. haha

And here's this really simple art of drew of chibi aya. Now don't complain it doesn't look like her! It's a cartoon!

i think you're saying there "watashi wa nagai kaminoke daisuki desu".
so you're saying you love something lol.
i'm entering the japanese JLPT test this year and i've been doing some past papers and they are pretty difficult. my japanese friend has been correcting them and i think generally i pass level 4 the beginners and maybe barely level 3 so i'm gonna enter level 4 this year to start with.
i find japanese tests are pretty difficult, its all the particles and stuff.
my writing is terrible. i can write the Kanas fine but the Kanji some i can and some i know but just can't write them.

ThyGriever

LooL, your "Ka" & "Na" seems kinda different XP
Are you saying," I like long hair" ? 'Cause That's what I got!!

I like your drawing very much! it's really very cute~ esp. the eyes :woot:
And I see what your message means. :hehe: :hehe: Very good! :applaud: Why do you say your japanese is poor??
I also think that learning japanese particles is difficult, but I think it's muchx3 easier than english particles. It's really extremely difficult!!!!!!
:sweat: (Is it the difference between the west and the east? :mrgreen: )

btw, aya's shown on Music Fighter on 07.06.15 and the seed is now available on J-pop suki. Enjoy! :woot:

haha you are right! Aren't ka and na supposed to look like that? My japanese friend said my na looks like a "ru"+ another symbol =( but i got used to writing it like that. You have good japanese though! I didn't even know how to write long hair without a dictionary XD

Thanks Jinzo! I thought I could have worked harder on the art..

I expected you to know what it meant :hehe: Your japanese understanding is unparalleled to all non-native japanese lol

I wasn't sure if i wrote that right so i was scared. I think english is easier but I guess it's because i learned that first. But one thing about english is that almost anything goes (except in english class). My japanese friend always asks a lot of grammatical questions but i usually say "you can do it any way you like" cause we have a lot of slang here. I'm jealous of your japanese skills of course =)

=========

btw, i got the new kindai! Some nice hotelier pics in there (first time kindai put hotelier pics in). Is anyone scanning them yet? Freefal?

@ Thy: still your Japanese progress looks much better than mine. I didnLt knew half of it :sweat:
Way too less time to learn and do other things. Still havenLt watched hotelier and I even still didnLt had the time to do anything on that B-day wish :banghead:

Kindai: I think I got the new issue, too. I lost a little track with latest magazines. :beaten:
But there are tons of scans to make and post. And those are all from the newer mags. I donLt know how uety-cafe manages it to keep updated all the time.

@Free : "Don't be afraid to be slow, but be afraid of being inactive" Do u know this saying ? I just saw u updated ur blog yesterday. CREA PICS FOLKS :fingerscrossed: !
