Ayumi featured in February 2009 "Shojo Beat" magazine
 

Yes, I have a subscription to the North American manga magazine "Shojo Beat" and their February issue's main feature is their "Fourth Annual SB Music Awards." I eagerly flipped through the magazine hoping and expecting to see something about Ayumi. Sure enough!

(Since I don't have my scanner set up, I took pictures instead. Images behind the spoiler.)



You can vote for Ayumi by visiting here: http://www.shojobeat.com/music_sb/

You can visit her info page here: http://www.shojobeat.com/music_sb/pop/ayumi_hamasaki/

They have a short bio up and you can even listen to a clip of "Talkin' 2 Myself!"

Let's all vote for Ayu and make her #1! You get to vote for one artist per the different categories they have. Voting ends on February 28th. Any recognition she gets outside of Japan makes me happy. :)

Cool, thanks for the information

Oh yeah it's good to know they at least give accurate information about Ayu... maybe except for "studded pink belt"... what's with that? Haha. Okay I'll go vote for her now.

thanks for the info tip off

Argh I must live in the US/Canada to vote...

^ Really?! I didn't realize that until I just went to fill it out myself! Gah! Well, I'm sorry not everyone can vote. :(

Oh well. If she is still the most voted or something then I guess she must be really popular in the US/Canada!

oo awesome <3
aww, i'm not of age bah...
well it's nice to see ayu anywhere

magazine looks darn cool!
weeee~ I voted =]

Sorry ayu but if Hikki's in that then there goes my vote =O

Cool, thanks! Too bad I can't vote :(

Awesome. Kuu is in there too haha.

I LOLED AT THE PREVIEW CLIP THEY PROVIDED FOR HER...

you hear fergie singing the entire time.

Hahaha, I don't like manga/anime, but I am going to buy that magazine tomorrow!!! I just voted for Ayu on the site!!!

...wow, so typical they'd put up a track she did with a big American artist just to make her seem more famous or something. I'd rather they just put up TABOO or something. I'll definitely vote for Ayu. They really do have some crappy selections for bands though...no offense to anyone. I guess this isn't really a huge magazine...is it? I'm not familiar with Shojo Beat.

awesome!!

thanks 4 sharing

Ayumi ftw ;)

Thanks for sharing !.

Aaaw too bad I cant vote but but. Lets hope she can winn! :D

thanks for info^^
