ayami

Post by hoshi »

Anyone remember Masuda Ayami?



Image



In case you don't remember or weren't into Morning Musume then, she auditioned for 8th gen, made it all the way to the training camp, and then mysteriously dropped out before the final performances.



Happy 8ki Audition clip to refresh your memory



She had also auditioned for avex around that time, and apparently it went well. Since her withdrawal from the 8th gen audition, she signed with avex, and presumably has been training with them.



She will be releasing her debut single, "Revise the world," later this month under the name "ayami" through Dive II Entertainment (avex's anime/game related label). It's the ending theme for the anime "Total Eclipse." (Here's a promotional video for the song.)



Apparently, she's also done work in the past for some other anime. She's released songs as part of a unit, RAMM feat. ayami, and did voice work for a small character in the series Muv Luv.



Official website: http://ayami.dive2ent.com/



Official blog: http://ameblo.jp/ayami0709



Other media:

RAMM feat. ayami - Relayers

RAMM feat. ayami - Freedom

ayami - Apocalypse of Destiny

Video of her performing "Freedom" at last year's Animax Musix

Video of her performing Kawada Mami's "Joint" with faylan and Sasaki Sayaka.





She's definitely improved since we saw her audition back in 2006. I was disappointed when she dropped out, but it seems like the songs she's performing now are a better fit for her than being in Morning Musume might have been.

Bloody hell, she's grown up hasn't she. Tsunku probably realised she was too talented for MM <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />.

Oh yeah I remember her! Everyone suspected some kind of scandal? Oh man, if only she hadn't dropped out...history as we know it could have been different. She's very pretty!



/edit Yeah, just rewatched that audition footage, and she was great! Pretty much nailed "furusato" and was cute and energetic. Ugh, tsunku, what is wrong with you sometimes.

I doubt that, since she's the one that dropped out, not kicked out.

I thought she was going to join AKB when she dropped. Anyway, she's got some chops. She looks kind of old in that video...

So she's just been in Avex's back pocket for six years? That's an awful lot of training.

Yeah, but it looks like it's totally paid off! She was pretty good in that Momusu audition clip, but AMAZING in her debut song!

I don't want to get into a philological argument but Ahem 2, even that bastion of left wing Liberalism (and paedophiles) the BBC says that "ise" is the preferred English usage.



There are so many words Americans spell incorrectly.



Hood should be spelt bonnet



Trunk should be spelt boot



Sidewalk should be spelt path



Fanny should be spelt lady's front bottom

Not in the UK, fanny is slang for vagina and so is front bottom <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />.

Not if you are from the UK, spelt or spelled are both equally acceptable. I had a classical education and was taught "spelt" <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':tongue:' />.

Well considering FANNY PACKS the British way actually makes a lot more sense.

This is the perfect time to say my niece asked me to wipe her "front butt" for her when she was three.



That makes this whole fanny thing more hilarious for me. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

All I can think of is Stella Artois beer which is the favoured brew of the lower working class male who drinks 15 pints on a Friday night and then returns home to his wife for a bit of domestic violence, hence Stella is known as wifebeater.

I just corrected an innocent mistake, that's all. Image UKites are so crumpety sometimes.



But back on topic, Ayami looks like she's 30. Damn she aged.

Slight update, there's another promotional video up for "Revise the world," though it's still only half the song: http://youtu.be/5TFs-5Wh8hM



Also, her website got a slight update. There's actually pages now! (Instead of it just being one massive page.)

As a fan of British comedies, I've always wondered about the naming of Fanny Packs as well.



Oh, like Americans do, we were wearing them backwards the whole time.
