Ayu on Oriental Daily 13/12/2004
 

another article in oriental daily.

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

ayumi hamasaki's surprise gig attracts 5000 people

text:
ayu wore a very christmassy red dress the day before yesterday, and sang two new songs in yokohama. her surprise performance was only 8 minutes long, but it attracted 5000 people. she has a shocking appeal!

ayu's performance will be broadcasted in the music show 'Happy Xmas show (?) tonight only wonderland' on the 25th this month. according to earlier reports, ayu is going to marry and retire, but her agent and tomoya;s agent have both denied it.

OK. Thanks for the getting your hands on the newspaper.

hahahaha... old news i mean the marry issue... but hey~~ ayu is still popular ^^ and thanx for the news

omg Ayu and Tomoya going to get married....and retire? that's scary :eek

it proves that ayumi is still attractive fans from all over :)

LOL I was just thinking, "ahh, at last they're being nice and just reporting the facts". They just coudn't resist mentioning a rumour at then end, it's probably a rule they have :)

Thanks again extepan, these articles are always entertaining.

yeah i know at first i was like Yay :P and then :eek

Did they have that part also in the version from Sponichi SPorts News?

yeah i was thinking about exactly the same thing. the rumour at the end had absolutely no connection to the main article whatsoever. it was just ridiculous to throw something completely unrelated to the main article. :headache

Oh well ^^ proves that Ayu is still popular. Nice pic and thank you for the translation.

hehe yeah, rumors sometime is a meter for popularity unfortunately

ayu is still popular, i am sure! hong kong people flock to shops to buy her new album, my story!
