her top looqx lyk she is wearin a bra on top ob anodda shirt lolx ... but interestin...

britney spears can`t b compared to ayumi !!! it is a disgrace to ayu ... grrr...

thats what i said when i saw it too. if i had never heard of ayu and i saw that picture as a first impression i would probably think "crazy japanese people!"

bah!!!!!!!!!!!britney is such a sl** ayu will nver be like her and ayu will never fade away ^_^

THanx for the news~
but i dont' think AYu is like Britney.. more like Madonna!!

i guess they're comparing ayu to britney just 'cus both of them are very popular young pop star....maybe they think madonna is kinda old to compare ayu to...and also madonna ain't as popular in america now as is ayu in japan...

i know WIRED is being sold in canada, if you go to bigger bookstores like chapters or indigo they'll have it

Britney Spears doesent even match up to Ayu... i never liked britney spears since the day i heard her songs! ack!

ayu is ayu... dun anyhow compare her to other artistes

yeah, I don't like that pic either. Anyhow, thanks for the pic, mimika :)

geez......why of all it has to be Britney??

Somehow I don't think Ayu is manufactured pop, so there's already no comparison to Britney. Still though, it's nice to see Ayumi in a US mag

Hmmm..Wasn't Ayu in the TIMES mag? Last year...I may be wrong tho. But I remember while I was creating my Ayu webpage for College I read this big artical on her in TIMES..all in english too. A very good read ^_^

I actually like the picture of Ayu..It is different from all her other shots. Ugh..Brittany and Ayu should NEVER be compared...Like a person said..Brittany is manufatured..Ayu is orginal!

Anh yea..She is Japan's Madonna!

Peace

hmmmmmm in some pictures.......ayu kinda look like madonna @_@

i agree, for example the ayu in ayu ready 1 looks kinda like madonna..but recently i think shez gone back to her more kawaii look than womanly mature look.and i welcome that ^_^

besides madonna is ayu's idol~ itz natural that ayu getz fashion ideas from madonna

yupyup..in march 2002 issue of TIME (aisan version)

herez the cover:

Well in a previous post i said i was going to go to barnes and nobles right away to get it and i did! I got the last issue of wierd may issue left! I was so glad to get it and see ayumi in a american magazine for once!
