The week started
off with Matt reporting that accoording hurtwou the
News24 brief he had uploaded on the tracker contained the messages of a
new Aya single (but more of that in the days to come :-). Matt also as usual
posted some caps from the new Meringue, with japanese_boy following up with
another nice pic:
And then Fumi started the celebration, because - of course
IT WAS AYA'S 21th BIRTHDAY
and some official
UFA birthday images (including Miki's message): 
Pictures provided
by Fumi, Maiko^o^, Nights4Saturn, sintengpig, ILoveMico and Matt, with wishes
from a lot more people :-)))
Fumi asked whether I would throw a birthday party. Well I did, but I had only
invited Aya. And I'm not gonna tell you whether she accepted the invitation
or not!
Matt
found Aya singing a Chinese version of Hyacinth. It was recorded while her "Live
in Shanghai" concert served as bluescreen footage for a Taiwanese TV movie
called "Aijou shin kokyuu". More info in the torrent
description, but you can find both the video and the mp3 in
the RS folder. (pic not in thread). blackwin commented: I
think she's pretty good as singing chinese's song :-) In that live she made
a lot of mistake and when she made it she's very CUTE!
rnwc reported the completion of "Aijou Ippon" episode 5's subs, nicely promoting the other episodes :-)))
There was
a report about some GAM backstage special on kikaku.tvguide.or.jp, but nothing
surfaced unfortunately. 
sville1999
discovered that there was a
blog for the stageplay "Sukedachi" 
KaBluie made a nice first post with Aya's contributions to the Douyou Pops albums, asking for a singers' list of the Sougen no Hito OST in return. Here's a list of the Douyous:
