Arr..I feel so sorry that I'm late at this. I thought I could get this done before Ayu's birthday yesterday but I can't. Sob sob. But anyway, it's really a great start for October~! (^-^)
Okay, I don't know if there's anyone looking forward to reading this but still I'm gonna translate this anyway. It's quite difficult to translate so much at one go. lol. 150 questions is really a lot! But then I realised it's not starting from question 1 so there is actually 129 questions instead. (^｡^) Anyway, please enjoy reading~!
This page features about all Ayu's past appearances on Popteen covers & interviews. Actually I don't really have any idea what the interviewer and Ayu is talking about! lol. Cos they were mentioning about what Ayu did during those years. So yeah, I'm not gonna translate that since I don't get what's going on in the past. I kinda regret not getting into Ayu much earlier and even grab Popteen those days. Well well... Of course now I'm million times more happy that Ayu appears this year cos I have been a fan of Popteen for sometime without seeing and getting Ayu on cover only until this year! So this is the best thing ever!!
So here's my translation:
[please pardon me, I hope anyone reading this do understand what I'm typing here. lol]
*Note: I realised they start off with Q22 because this is her 21st time appearing in Popteen. I thought that they've already asked Ayu 21 questions in the previous page but it isn't. Whatever, the numbering is confusing me. (x_x)

Please study hard in school everyone! Although I've stopped halfway through, some things can make up for it but some can't, being in school is just one of it. High school life can only happen during your teenage years, so even when you're grown up, enter university, high school life and memory would only happen during that time. Using myself as an example, it would be good if I can leave some memories of it. Although there may be annoying things that will happen, please work hard to overcome it. And then you can enjoy the sweet outcome♪
