Ayu on Oriental Daily 6/12/2004
 

I should have read the newspaper more often. ayu was on the newspaper 4 times last week and i didnt know.

anyway, just to remind you, the correct attitude of reading a hong kong newspaper is to read, laugh and forget.

the new calendar surfaces to help boost sales of the new album?
ayu sexy ever-changing
welcome 2005

ayu planned to release her 2005 calendar in november, and finally it appeared. this time ayu appeared with eyecatching images. there are images of her as a white haired woman, a noble woman etc, and these make fans drool already. the most eyecatching photo would definitely be the sexy swimwear. this ultra hot bikini pic will undoubtedly not let any fans down.

after the 05 calendar went on sale, ayu releases her new album 'my story'. as the japanese record industry collapsed, ayu's new album is already available for download from last week. it is confirmed to be released on the 15th of december. it is estimated that there are 400,000 copies shipped already, this is not a bad figure.

---------

according to HMV japan's most recent preorder chart, ayu's my story ranks only the 8th. she is surpassed by the korean star 'song seung hun''s ultra bad album. this is a shocking result.

omg seung seung hun...grrrr i neva liked him~!!! owell thx for the info!

dont even know who seung seung hun is lol thx for the news

I can only say Ayu fans doesn't like HMV.

i like the pics =)

Thx for the scan.. but somewhere they said expecting 400K sales, shoot.. those download numbers and sales numbers are not well correlated people... stupid "news writers"

thanks

thanks

wow nice thx

o.o;; what? that's not possible...

yeah the 400,000 figure is the trade volume. so it isnt bad!!

Thanks for the several translations extepan ;)

I'm shocked!! Where can it be downloaded??!

i have no idea where the download is, the article doesnt say

Man... is this avex bad leak or something? If it's available for dl, why don't we get it? ok, i know i shouldn't be saying this (cause muz support original), but it make sense doesnt it?

yeah! ayumi fans prefer yesasia i suppose.

thanx for infor!

I dont think ayu need sex appeal to sell, she got good songs

avex put the songs up to download at about 200 yen each. so you can download it too...if you can find the site

i tried to buy HOPE or PAIN but it seems you have be a resident in Japan in order to buy the songs..ToT
heres the site anyway if anyone interested..and you're living in Japan that is..
