Yeah you're right, but I guess all of these teen mags don't really put emphasis on straight facts (I can just think of "Bravo" who make mistakes with the simpliest things like birth dates, at least they did so in pre-internet times, when I read it the last time lol).
btw it's only a matter of language with the Sotsugyo Shashin thing. You know, it's just poorly worded.

Anyways for all who want to know what it's saying, here's a translation of the main article. Don't expect too much though, it doesn't tell you anything new

Translation:
Spoiler:
Japanese pop-star Ayumi Hamasaki once again caused attention. Her new single "Mirrorcle World", released in April, has again reached the top spot of the Oricon Charts on its first selling day. With that Ayumi, being in the 10th year of her musical career, set a new record that probably makes many other artists jealous. She achieved to land at least one number one hit in each year of her career.
Because of her anniversary the current single, her 44th, was released in two versions not only with different cover artwork, but also with different b-sides. While one version includes "You", the other one pleases with "Depend on you" and additionally both versions contain the song "Life". "You" and "Depend on you" are songs that have already been released in 1998, but are featured here with new versions. The title-track "Mirrorcle World" on the other hand is an extended version of the song "Mirror" that was used as the intro of her 9th studio album "Guilty", released in January this year.
But Ayumi wouldn't be the Queen of J-Pop, if she didn't come up with something special to promote the single. In line with a shooting of a Panasonic-commercial in Venice, she made a little trip to Paris in order to shoot an impressive video for the song "Mirrorcle World". The clip shows the sexy pop-queen in constantly changing outfits and also offers beautiful pictures of the city of love. For the shooting complete streets of the French capital had to be closed down temporarily to give the impression that the city was entirely abandoned and Ayumi was walking through the streets all alone - the video proves this to be a well-done illusion. Apart from the singer you can just see a few men in agent outfits chasing Ayumi.
And so Ayumi Hamasaki not only made her fans but also herself a wonderful present for her 10th anniversary. One is allowed to be excited about what is to be expected of the Japanese Queen of Pop in the future...
