Nevermind on the Aya World logo picture. Was watching Clips 02 today and it was on the menu. Did a screen capture and it looks cool. We're getting ready for the big Aya-chan 21st birthday bash and we needed that logo!

Attention Please is great!


Do any of you guys have a good picture of this:

It doesn't have to be the same color. Just bigger and with better contrast.

That's just a one time show though, right? Not a big project like Shimokita Sundays. But that is good news that she's going to be kept active and in the spotlight.

Yeah, I guess so. But why does her agency keep us in the dark about something so important? I hope she goes on tour. It'd be nice to see her live at least once before she does retire.

Anybody know what Aya-chan is going to do next? Do you think she'll go on tour to promote her greatest hits CD/DVD or maybe star in another drama or movie? Or perhaps take a break or even retire?

What does she have lined up next?
