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.
Yeah when it's raining, there's this special scent in the air. True. Aya has good taste.
Ah yep her inspiration may also come from other people, such as her mom, or becky ( ).... But no doubt, 'I want to hold hand and walk down the street' is hers. I know it (she said it in an interview too, must be one translated by gloomy ).
Hm I'm goind to save that article (well, your post) on my computer.

I know this might cause some argument or even flaming against me, but please refrain from doing so.
I haven't read all of his books but while they are great overall diet books and have some great eating tips (from what to eat to what not to eat), there is no scientific evidence to support anything related to specific blood types and certain food. Furthermore, there haven't been any type trial or even basic research into a controlled experiment to find out the extent of such claims.
Overall is simply absurd to even think a specific blood type could some how determine what foods are good for you (even to the point of claiming you should/have to be a vegetarian due to blood type). If one cannot see the reason why this is simply absurd, please do some research as to what determines blood types, from the presence of antibodies to antigens (you can probably find this in any High School level book as I believed is required in the USA to learn about this during regular Biology classes) if not there's always google.
I know what I say probably doesn't mean anything to you but keep in mind while I'm not a doctor yet, I am a medical student which always had an interest in similar subjects as I was born with many food allergies and antibodies and antigens play an important role in these. Lastly, that guy has been making lots of cash off these books by simply promoting an idea which hasn't been verified, let alone accepted by the rest of the scientific community. The only which is even close to making sense in his argument, is his talk about lectins. The only role this plays our body can be summed up to this pathway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannan-binding_lectin_pathway
Keep in mind lectins are very specific glycoprotein and are found literally all around us, so no one specific food is going to protect you from now ingesting the protein, let alone any adverse reaction to our immune system as they are mostly non immune and non enzymic in origin.
But getting back to topic, nice pics, I will save and show them to my friend as he is the Aya fan. _________________

Read before talking. I was o_O too before, but it's not a kind of mystic book, nor esoterism.
ANd yes blood type comes from different antibodies at the surface of red corpuscules. It's elementary biology knowledge, indeed. Dr Adamo knows it, he's doctor. And judging from the fame this book received, it can't be a mystic book.
Hm so you are a medcial student ? Cool. Wait a few years and I'll be able to debate with you.

Oh trust me I have read, just not all of his books (he has quite a couple I have seen over 10 books and I don't doubt he has even more)
I'm not claiming his books are mystic or esoteric in nature (fail to see how they could be spirit or overall body and soul related) but moving on my point still holds ground, other than his overall tips for good health (which are never bad to know) the other ideas behind some of his books are literally based on nothing.
Hypothetical scenario:
Is like opening a science book for example Biology and just letting it open to one random page, you see some weird looking glycoprotein you notice it says FSH is one of them and somehow that means that if you don't eat enough protein you can't have a baby...
That example sounded absurd right? Well it should. However, while that scenario is quite easy to understand as it includes simple everyday bio terms, thats the same way I look at his arguments and ideas. They are like reading those alien and Roswell newspaper/magazine at the supermarket while you stand in line..
Anyways, just cut it here. If you find some scientific evidence please feel free to send me a private message and I will gladly read the whole trial if need be. I have nothing personal against the guy, just a bit mad at his money making scheme and how easily he manages to convince people of his "perpetual motion machines." _________________

Bah, you modified your post as I wrote my response above therefore, I will answer your question here .
I'm currently on a short break and I'm more of a nocturnal person (don't need many hours of sleep as those who know me can tell ya heheh )
Hahaha, as for the placebo effect, oh boy thats the greatest mystery of science in my opinion. The power of the mind is quite a thing, which brings me to this book I read recently regarding placebo effect and universal laws X_X (totally made sense in it's own way as hard as that sounds to believe) hehe.
As for the great feedback which can be seen at times, keep in mind I did say he has some great eating habit and overall eating/health tips which explain the reason behind such comments and feedback. Furthermore, remember how I said a controlled experiment needs to be done? hheeh, now you see why. You can clearly agree with me there, that without it a hypothesis will always be just that...
Edit: re-reading these post, moderators you should just deleted all the post related to the medical, blood type, etc. etc. In other words all the last post done by me and Sangohan lol (we probably confused everyone here..) my apologies if anything we will continue this great conversation over PM _________________

Understood. But, being given my actual knowledge, I can't debate for now. Nor approve, nor reject completely the book. Obviously, from statistic research and observations, we can't affirm at 100% it works, not as long as we haven't found the logic.
Nevermind, I'll cut it out. Basically it was only to joke with Freefall.

Below is an article written by a professional musician in �T�����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.
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.
honto desuka?? Great Jinzo. More appreciation for Aya! thank you for you translation. Your skills are great as always.

Yeah Thy is true, you actually master all three langages needed to follow Aya in the medias : japanese, chinese, and english. WHat a curriculum Vitae, I'm blown away. I think you master japanese better than english, am I wrong ?
It seems no one can replace you Because I'm again giving work to you below .
1-The video of Music Fighter (136mb) is available to download on Uety blog. PAssword is this : jimanyaki
Is that the blood of a turtle ? Hmm from what I can read on the internet, it is said to strengthen immune system, increase energy, improve skin. But I think the most known property is to promote a long lifetime (chinese beliefs... well chinese are very supersticious after all ). Hmmm In africa it is used agaisnt rhumatism, anaemia and asthma. Hmmm... Well -_-" at least Aya-chan will have a long life .
Hey, I never tasted turtle meat. One of my friend did and didn't like it at all. But as I'm pretty stubborn, she hasn't discouraged me from trying, not at all .
edit : watch at 09:25, she tells a bit her onsen trip with Becky. I didn't understand who was driving between both (I suspect Becky ), but apparently they had fun with driving . Aya is very expressive with her hand when she talks you understand 70% of the story without understanding japanese Lol and about what follows, when the monkey looklike guy talks about becky ... well didn't undertsand what's funny exactly, but apparetnly he is along with her LOL.
Is there a meeting planned in this club 'quattro' in Hiroshima ? Aya will come ?
=================================================
The latest OronaminC wallpaper : http://www.otsuka.co.jp/orc/event_050527.html
I wonder when was this interview takan Because of Aya's hair. After Ri Kouran and before AP SP ?
o_O It's my first time seeing this. Apparently it's her biography with the articles in the press to which you can refer yourself to.
Huge work.
Man .. It's as if Aya-chan was a famous character in the world's history. The kind of eprson youw ould make a research on in litterature classes in high school.
http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/goodboy_philip/article?mid=4901&fid=32 LOL is that the blog owner (philip) on the last pic ? LOL that's crazy. Hey ... wait a sec ... Fionaboy, is that you ? You're 'philip' ? The blog owner ? Because he looks like the guy on your avatar. Hm so ur avatr is a montage. Hm. You're crazy .

Yes, Gohan-kun, what you guess is right! Aya ate a soft-shelled turtle in Music Fighter. And she even drank the blood (though it's blended w/ organe juice).
It's common for chinese to have turtle meat, but I never eat it because I like turtle veryx3 much. Oh! Poor little turtle
Aya's body language is really wonderful! As you said, we can get much of her meaning even we don't know japanese. She may try someday to have a mime performance. It must be a great show
For Q2, ����-san is telling Uety-san how to get to �p�t�`�s�s�q�n in Hiroshima, because ����-san comes from Hiroshima while Uety-san may go to aya's live in Hiroshima (the venue is �p�t�`�s�s�q�n). That's all!
For the time of interview, I'm afriad it's taken in May (?) this year. As aya's look is exactly the same as the one in the news about Piano no Mori. Though it looks like Kozue very much.
