Errr .. is that hole important ? After all, u cut the days but u wanna add the hole ? Err :headscratch:
Btw I answered your comment on ayasuki. Well sorry but my dictionary says gum. Just gum. The pink thing inside which your teeth take their roots. Well u know when u go to the dentist, he looks at your teeth and at your gum (what's below). When aya smiles, you can see her gum, and it's purple. Wierd.

ItLs just that I removed the holes on all the other pages. But I forgot the one on the cover.

Yes, gum is the correct word. Actaually I had to look up for it, too. Never needed that word in english before :hehe:

Huh ? AAAHHH okay I haven't seen that hole on the bottom, not at all lol. I expected a hole on top of the page so that's why. Well there's still a hole on page 2 and on the last page then. :hehe: Nevermind. Don't cut some part of Aya just for a hole. :rofl: Hey, but.. that means on page 3, which has no hole, you actually DID CUT Aya-chan ? :beatyou: :beatyou: :beatyou: FFS ! :fingerscrossed: BRING BACK THAT HOLE ! Wtf... even it's only 2% more of Aya, her outfit is very nice .... :grumble: Man .. you did cut the lace. :beatyou:

See ? Her gum is purple and not pink. Wierd. Didn't u notice it ? Odd.

edit : doesn't matter if u cut the hole on page 4,5,6,7 because the hole is not part of Aya's shape. But man, page 3 ... :shamefulcry:
Well, I'm off. Good night Free. " Thanks " again. lol. :D :woot:

Oh! Very nice! :woot: :woot: Thanks for your scans.
I like this one the most and I've used it as the wallpaper. :dancing: :dancing: The one in blue with a large cushion is also very good. :applaud: :applaud: But I also don't like the knitting one. It's too old to aya. :sweat:

Below is an article written by a professional musician in TŠ§•¶t (Weekly Bunshun) (2007.06.21) something about Namida no Niji. So sorry for my limited english, therefore, instead of translating it words by words, I just summarize the main points to give you a very general idea about it.

If any one of you, like gloomy-san, would like to post this article in other aya's forums, no matter the Japanese ones or anywhere, just feel free to do it in order to let more people see how wonderful aya is as a singer. :mrgreen:

[image]

The writer, in fact, doesnft know much about ayafs songs. He even canft name her most famous song. However, it seems that he appreciates aya a lot after listening to Namida no Niji.

In short, his comments are as follows:
1 In terms of music, hefs attracted by the arrangement of singerfs voice coming immediately without any musical introduction. The basic arrangement of the music is classical, adding with some contemporary elements such as the tempo of todayfs music. Besides, he also finds the arrangement is rich. Very good.

2 In terms of singing skill, hefs particularly impressed by ayafs skill of extending (?) the high pitch part (not sure how to translate it in English. Hope you see the meaning). In fact, it is quite difficult to sing this song, but it seems that aya can manage it easily and naturally, so hefs completely attracted. It makes him think that eueto aya may be a wonderful singer!?f

3 In terms of lyrics, he thinks that those who havenft a certain high level of writing skills, itfs not possible for him/her to write such a good song. And more important, this song embeds a strong message. It leaves listeners a good taste after listening.
Though itfs hard to tell whether aya has something new in terms of lyric writing, if she really has the capability of emass productionf (ie. be able to write lyrics for many many songs), then, she is a emeaningfulf artist. The writer is sincerely looking forward to her development in this aspect.

Retouching ? ohhh. That's very well done :wow: Especially if the hole was on the lace. Aya, you're so pretty :mrgreen:
Hey don't forget to do your work for the b-day.

Yeah, too bad she is under stress on live performances.
Good article :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: Aya's been noticed.
Hm I never thought about that writing ability. Aya-chan, a song writer ? That would be true art. Hmmm. Well, I think that, all the lyrics in the song, are mental images to which Aya has already thought in the past, at a moment or another of her life. That means she is very sincere about her in this song, and she just had to put the thoughts she's been keeping in her memory, into words. That's why that song is amazing.
But from there to massively write lyrics, there's a big gap. Aya will need to produce mass mental images. However for the lyrics to be good, they must be sincere. And for them to be sincere, it must be spontaneous, she must not "push" herself to find an idea. Finding good ideas requires life experience. For her to produce a different song than namida no niji, either she has tons of true thoughts left, either she needs time, life experience to build new ones. Aya is so young :puppydog: (well I'm 'young' too :beaten: ) In my opinion it will take time for her to produce another great song from the bottom of her heart. Well, I'm not in a hurry either :mrgreen: .


:applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: GREAT ARTICLE
Do u know the name of this musician ? ( :beaten: It's shameful nto to even know his name :beaten: )

edit: Hey ... hum ... Where is her inspiration for the lyrics of namida no niji from ? I mean, if I remember correctly the Q&A game from 2001, that Free has shared on his blog, she said she has never felt love for someone yet. And from 2001 to nowadays, she's supposed (according to what we, us distant persons, know) to have never really known a man, young or old. So where are these thoughts from ? 'like a small kitten', 'I want to hold hand and walk down the street'... From Aya's dreams :mrgreen: ? :shocked: :dancing: :woot: And the rain, is it also part of her dream ? Damn if it's true, she's romantic. :shocked: WOOHOO :woot: ( :rofl: ) Look at that ... Aya-chan, a little romantic girl ... Hm... :mrgreen:

bless. now we know what aya will look like in 50 years time!

Absolutly. ILll make some for me from them, too :mrgreen:

The writer's name is Chikata Haruo (just translated from his Japanese name, not sure though).

Don't know exactly where her inspirataion comes from, but it seems that she's really quite romantic. She likes rainy days. For the ideas, may be some of them come from other people's experience, some from aya's expectation towards love. As she has expressed, 'I want to hold hand and walk down the street' is exactly what she longs for. That's her dream.

Free, there are other girls who will age in good condition too. Although it's true that asians get less wrinkles than westerns, if u don't treat your wife carefully (facing concerns + children + hormonal evolution when aging ... ), even Aya-chan will age in bad condition.

One more thing, if u ever succeed and bring Aya in Germany, please keep giving her a certain amount of Japanese food. It's good for her heatlh and not to get fat. Also, keep in mind that Aya's blood group is O ... and, well, to each blood group is associated a certain manner of eating. You may know what I am talking about. If not, look for the german version of this : http://www.amazon.com/Right-Your-Complete-Blood-Encyclopedia/dp/1573229202/ref=sr_1_8/102-6012192-3685738?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182587524&sr=8-8

Basically every book of Peter d'Adamo is good to read (english research : http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/102-6142261-3546513?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Peter+d%27+Adamo&Go.x=0&Go.y=0)

Oh and this one particularly applies to women aging : http://www.amazon.com/Menopause-Individualized-Preventing-Osteoporosis-Conditions/dp/0425212084/ref=sr_1_9/102-6012192-3685738?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182587524&sr=8-9

:mrgreen: Take good care of Aya-chan. :mrgreen:
