Considering WE knew Ayu didn't want the amount released, Mika John would have known, especially if she knew the amount Ayu donated.

Anyway, I'm glad Ayu donated at the end of the day, I don't care who she donates more than etc... whether she tells us or not, it's money to help those who need it much much much more than Ayu does.

I think the intention is more important than money itself, if we count "who's doing more". you can donate millions and be really selfish. it's good the money if it's gonna be used for something useful, but what's the purpose if you only donate just to make a good impression on others? the intention is what matters. i think the whole charity idea is totally lost if you do it just because you want approval from others.

Anyway, i want to believe ayu did it for genuine care, but don't think Mika John "accidentally" told the press how much she donated, i mean, that to me was calculated.

I don't give a **** who donated the most.
All I care about is that people won't forget this like they did with Haiti.

Why they made such a big deal on listing people who made huge donations?
Its really pointless >:\

[ayumasing]

They don't care about what the money is used for, but how much each star donated? How sad. It's not a competition, media.... Quit trying to make something out of nothing, please.

[koumori]

Obvious media move of using the tsunami to sell. Whatever.

Ignore these articles - and the trolls lurking in this thread - and remember that the most important thing is the lives that the donations are saving.

Koda Kumi seems to be doing very little, and I totally agree with you, totally embarressed to be a Kuu fan now.

[sanzo2011]

I REALLY hate this article! so pointless!

[brener]

thanks for the translation =)

I have 1 article again from a tabloid in Indonesia, asian plus
contents of this article is not much different from the first page of an article on this thread
this article tell about "Namie Amuro donated 5 billion rupiah, ayu donated 3,5 billion rupiah , Norika Fujiwara donated 6,5 billion rupiah, and L'Arc en Ciel donated
20th anniversary concert's profits"

[joshohhhhh]

the priority is japan's health; a popularity contest should be the furthest thing from people's minds.

[JackieRos]

Lmao is just an article

What matters is what they donated will help people end of story,
no need to talk crap about the article.
There are always going to be articles criticizing people that's how people are.
Like talking crap about someone else that's how it is.


Go namie

[Polyrhythm]

Um no offense to both Namie and Ayu, but these claims are freaking stupid. Everyone knows AKB donated like triple w/e anyone donated o_o

[ownsarai]

Really, it shouldn't matter how much they donated. It's not a competition after all.

+1 , they are nice to help their country, they are giving the best

[Kazeyomi]

^
well, they're over9000 members

[jbrat2219]

^ I know right! They would each have to put in a few thousand yen and they could double both Namie and Ayu's donations put together LOL j/k.

[oneheart]

^^ so true

[Corvina]

Just to clear things up... Kuu confirmed that she donated on her current tour:

From a review:

During the MC she talks about future support for the earthquake and how she's donated individually but she also wants to donate together with her fans also so she decided on a charity song download.

Hope those ridiculous speculations end now.
