Ayu has been busy leading up to her 25th anniversary this Saturday! Here's everything you might have missed:

Press Conference: Ayu made her first press conference appearance in 8 years to debut as the new spokesperson for RHYTHM and their R-FACE BFT Pack! She oversaw the packaging design for the product and appears in a series of commercials featuring her song "MASK."

TV Appearances: Ayu has been on a veritable television blitz reminiscent of her schedule in the early 2000s, this included her first appearance on an NTV variety show in six years and a performance of "Startin'" on CDTV. Some Japanese fans have speculated on Twitter that the choice to perform "Startin'" may be hinting at A BEST 3 being her promised big announcement at the end of the week. She still has one more appearance taped for Kamaigachi, which will air April 5th.

Tokyo fashion and Shibuya109 Collaborations: Shibuya109 will turn into an Ayu mecca from April 7th through April 23rd, complete with a limited cafe, background music, pop-up with special merchandise, collaborations with famous brands within the department store, and, of course, a banner on the iconic building itself starting April 16th. In addition to the Shibuya109, Ayu will also take over streetwear shop BASEMENT TOKYO April 6 through April 9th.

Anniversary Live: Ayumi Hamasaki's one night Anniversary Live will take place at Yoyogi National Gymnasium on April 8th. Tickets and goods were difficult to come by even for fan club members, as Ayu has promised to make her "first and last big announcement" during the show. The concert will have a ticketed livestream via ABEMA; a VPN is required to view outside of Japan.

Remember you, cont: Ayu's first album in seven years was released in January though coverage is still rolling out. All Music chose Remember you as an "All Music Pick" and gave it a 4.5 out of 5 on their website with a glowing review.

Last weekend of the election cycle mania..

Polls. This way. That way. Big lead. No lead...

Pick your poison.. and yes, you will absolutely be able to find a news article or poll that backs up either what you believe will happen or want to happen.

But.. chances are that poll is wrong.

"Flush toilets took over 70 years to catch on, but only 10 years for the smartphone to be adopted by 75% of the US populace. I guess you needed the toilet before the phone could have you sat on it for so long you lose feeling in your legs. Unrelatedly, a Trump heavy edition of your Afternoon Tea, unfortunately. There’s a whole mess of stupid that isn’t being talked about, that makes Moo Deng, Pesto, and I very frustrated. Get to the end for Moo Deng Phonk and sick Hi-Tech from Henrique Camacho."

"Hello Soldier! THE WINNIPEG TRIBUNE," Winnipeg Tribune. October 30, 1943. Page 17. --- REMEMBER the Pied Piper of Hamelin? He rid the town of rats and when he came to collect his thousand guilders, the city fathers wouldn't pay up. So he lured away the children of Hamelin with the same piping that drew away the rats to their doom.

This story was recalled here this week. N. Poulin, of St. Boniface, who was hired by the city on a short term basis to clear out the plague of rats at the city's dump, sent in an extra bill of $1,026 - for 810 pounds of poison and the use of his car and trailer. City Hall does not deny that Mr. Poulin is an efficient rat exterminator - the city health officer says that there are very few rats left at the dump - but they say that the expenditures in that $1,026 bill were unauthorized. So the bill is ignored.

Mr. Foulin doesn't threaten to lure away the children of Winnipeg. but he's going to sue.

Three years ago John Ashton "Pat" Barnett and two other men tried to rob the Radio building on Fort st. Constable John McDonald interrupted them and was shot to death. Last Tuesday, Barnett, who had been serving a 20-year term in Stony Mountain penitentiary, tried to make a break. He had a revolver and in shooting it out with a prison guard named Ferguson, Barnett was killed. An inquest, found. that the convict was shot in self-defense. There is no information yet on how he got the revolver.

One of the biggest crowds in Winnipeg's history, if not the biggest. swarmed to Assiniboine park last Saturday to see paratroops from Camp Shilo in action. Estimates ran as high as 100.000, and you could easily believe it if you saw the traffic tie-up after the show. But the crowd circling a huge field southeast of the pavilion certainly got the thrill of its life when two "sticks" of paratroops (30 men) made the Jump at about 800 feet from a Lodestar. All except four made perfect landings, four having their 'chutes caught in trees. Sgt. Cecil Cavanagh, of 102 Scott st., had his leg cut by a tree branch.

This first public demonstration in Canada was staged for the Fifth Victory Loan. At the end of the second week, 84.000 Manitobans have subscribed about $58,000,000 of the objective of $80,000,000. There's another week to go.

It may be that the marvelous fall of sunny, mild weather has come to an end here but it was wonderful while it lasted. And at a time of a threatened fuel shortage, it saved a lot of coal and wood. I don't know how good it is, but one estimate has put the saving at half a million tons of coal for the four western provinces. So far City Hall hasn't had to spend a cent of the $20,000 voted for removing snow from streets from now until the new year.

An open fall has also helped movement of grain to the lakehead. I hear it is planned to move 100,000,000 bushels of grain from Fort William-Port Arthur to points in eastern Canada before freeze-up, to be ready for shipment to the needy in Europe.

Meanwhile here in Canada there is a promise that in a fortnight there will be pork and beans on grocers' shelves again, as well as canned fruit salad. pea soup and syrups. And now at last the authorities have made it legal for Mrs. Jones to borrow rationed tea from Mrs. Smith or trade her some rationed sugar for it.

To take care of the increased livestock shipments. Manitoba packing houses needed some 800 more workers, and now they practically have them all. Many have come from Manitoba and Saskatchewan farms under the plan of working on the farm in the summer and in lumber camp, mines or other essential industry in the winter. The farmers themselves were helped out of a hole this fall by soldiers who got harvest leave.

The best-attended provincial conference of the C.C.F. this week re-elected Harry Chappel as chairman, and picked Mrs. T. W. McClelland, of Letellier, and Berry Richards, M.L.A., The Pas, as vice-chairmen. S. J. Farmer, M.L.A., warned the conference to have nothing to do with Communists, because "they either control or break up everything they get into. We must prevent them from getting into the C.C.F." The conference passed a resolution forbidding collaboration with the Labor Progressive Party, which is the successor to the Communist Party of Canada.

One day this week Col. Danie! S. Mackay, veteran physician and commander in two wars, attended a reunion of the Manitoba company of the 196th Western Universities Battalion of the Great War. It was a last look at the boys of a battalion which he had organized. After proposing the toast to the unit, he left the reunion, took ill at home during the night and died at noon next day in General hospital. The Camerons of Canada were the military mourners at the military funeral at First Presbyterian church today.
