These pictures were posted on IKOMAN'S blog in August. Since then, I forgot to make a topic for this because there may be a few people who are interested in seeing part of how Ai lives.  As posted on that day, IKOMAN goes on to explain that there was some kind of trouble at the office after they returned from filming the PV for "Kurage, Nagareboshi" in Okinawa, so work was taken to Ai's apartment in Tokyo:
Trivia: Ai's highest score on the dartboard is 450.
Trivia: Ai has a thing for ukuleles, as seen in the Channel Ai series.
According to IKOMAN, the teacup poodle above is the same photographed with Ai in the LOVE LETTER album. It is actually Ai's new pet. And as in pictured in Max Matsuura's blog, it loves Ai a lot. 
If it's okay with the mods, it would be cool to translate the online entries of Ai's closest companions, as we end up finding a lot about her. (i.e. Ai attended keyboardist Akinori Suzuki's wedding in July. How Ai's family lives not too far from Tetsu of L'Arc ~en~ ciel's family, and Ai thought he was stalking her to the family house once. Or how Ai made the staff listen to a Christmas album called Baby Gift nonstop from the end of October until Christmas finally came and made each staff member and bandmate a lunch of ramen with attached notecards on what they need to work on. IKOMAN's card for his ramen said he needs more romance. In Ai's diary, she also talked about going to the supermarket with her manager and a strange "Matrix" looking guy following her around the place with a briefcase in tow and speaking into a Bluetooth-like headset. Apparently, it was a misunderstanding; the guy just wanted an autograph, according to the supermarket's manager, and they both found Ai to be hilarious when she told him about him looking like an Agent Smith clone. To her surprise, he left the market by doing the famous Matrix move.  ) A lot of information can be found through these blogs, and some of which is definitely Ai fan fundamental material. |

| Her home is not what I expected it to be like! I expected it to be a little bit more girly. Anyway, I didn't notice that she had a thing for ukuleles! How strange. The poodle's really cute!! |

| ^With Avex's yearly trip to Hawaii in January for their top performers, it's no surprise that Ai eventually came to enjoy them. |

Wow, what a nice apartment! It actually looks a lot similar to my lounge actually. Probably not the appearance, maybe just as messy as my lounge is. I want a dog like that too.  Oh, sorry Ai, last time I played dartboard, I got 465.  |

| ^^ Oh no. They don't have concerts. As Ai detailed in her diary a few days after New Years in 2008, her staff and she just took a short vacation to Hawaii, which is part of their yearly "ritual": Tokyo - Osaka - Tokyo - Hawaii. Apparently, mostly everyone goes because even Max talks about taking a "chosen performers" with him for a trip in the state. |

I think it's a great idea! But instead of creating a topic for each individual, we may have one topic for all of them (and provide the link to each post/source). At one point someone was translating Ai's blog on the official site, but it stop after a while.
The thing is, translating blogs is a big and on going project. And it can be overwhelm with the pressure to keep up with all the posts. It'll be great if a group of members can take turns translating or share the workload, and then make an update every week or so. |
