i guess ill translate if newunz interested in my crappy translations^^:

Some people say that she is a record selling myth; some say she is the mother othe the fashion religion; some say shes a music legend; 5 years ever since her debut, her incomes are amazing, record sells are amazing, even when she wants to simply date someone, people will be writing about it hardcorly non-stop. even thoe she is skinny and small, shez got a pair of electric pretty eyes, dazzling smiles, so talented that musics are not enough for her; she opens her own stores.

the fans who likes her always have the word "ayu" around their mouth the whole time, and conversations about her are made nonstop. If maybe the way how AVEX has made her, but it is her uniqueness that gains her the record of being so famous. Even the young mornin musume calls her Auntie ayu. even the kindergardeners mimic her. For the past few year, if you compare her record sales with other artist, she is always on the top of the chart, makin the western music look really really bad; she earned the total of 700million+ yens annually. But what is it from her that made her so famous?

Do you have any idea how many cds she released? if you are not her fan you must be confused right now. IF you include the remix and all those dance musics, there are more than 50 disks that she released. But if it wasnt for her own talent, she would be having all those cds, because she compose her own musics also.

So who is the one who say the records are dropping? Ayu's cd comes out one by one, and it would be normal for her to have a record sale of hundreds of thousands to her. Not only in Japan, Even in Taiwan her record are always selling really well. Last year she came for a hand shake meeting, only 500 could be lucky enought to shake her hand, but in the end, there are a line thats loner than 500 meters long. Everywun who didnt make the top 500 were beggin the guards to let them go in; there was a person with 50 burned ayumi's cd, juss beggin to be let in so she can sign all 50 of her burned ayumi cd- from her commercials to lives to musics.

For a person lyke ayumi.. what is the best product to advertise? The answer is EVERYTHING. There are so much things that she advertise for such as electronics, make up, snacks, candy, drinks, spa, cell phones, accesseries.. etc. As long as you are willing to pay for this mony attractor to do commercial for you, there is a guarantee that you will be selling well next month. Let's take cell phone for ex: couple of years ago, there is a cell phone made after ayumi; limited lepoerd burn marks with logo, people dreamed to have that cell before it was even released. Someone on line was selling that phone with ayumi's signature on it, and the price inflated all the way up to 400,00 yens. As for the make ups, girls are all willing to buy them just to look dolly like ayumi. As for the products like electronics, it is most persuasive when ayumi does the commercials for panasonic. simple and high tech commercials is a guarantee seller. Companies who likes to use ayumi for their commercial always invent new product every month to attract costumers. As long as ayumi signs the contract, the boss of the company will have money flowing out of his pockets^^

there it is.. plz dun bash my translation^^

mrAznnizeguy, your translation sounds excellent to me! How cute that Morning Musume calls her Auntie Ayu
