Summary & translation:
There are different kinds of music today, Ayu's music is mainly pop. Ayu is not just about her music, but also her image etc etc that attracts her fans.

Besides, pop music appears in every part of the world from east to west.

Ayu's new album "A Ballad" is actually a very innovative try for ayu to produce sth very differently, like "A Song for XX", is a very good remake

Ayu is also very popular among japanese karaoke, those who've never been there and dont' understand ayu's song shouldn't just criticize others if you dont' understand. you should go and explore why others are so successful

(note: i like the last point the best...so true!!!)

[rainbow_momiji™]

thanks for that info mimika i agree with the last point aswell. ver true!

[funnybunny56]

a chinese newspaper that supports Ayu!

[Yuki]

WHOA HOO!! SO TRUE SO TRUE..

so true to some stupid americans who say dat,"I can't understand it, why not speak something we can understand?"

but what if we don't want to?!?!

GOOD POINT MAN..
*CLAPS*
brittany totally agrees

it's like.. ya know. don't judge a friggin' book by it's cover. . . . . it's a big world out there, and you can explore. see other things. you'll be so amazed to what you find, ..

[destiny_ayu]

Thnx for the info....Surprised to see there are Hongkong Newpaper that support ayu... i wonder does Singapore have???

[miruku]

heh~ Finalli someone wil stand up for AYu!
+ i totalli agree w/wut they say~
japanese karoke, i've never seen them on sale here, if there were.. i would buy them!!

good point brittany. i thought listening to jpop would be stupid. since i saw the word "pop" i thought it would be like american pop music but it isn't. Now almost all I listen to is jpop

[Grass Monkey]

The A Song For XX remake kicks ass.

And I agree with the last point. No one really understands why I like Ayumi. I usually get "do you even understand it?"

My usual responses to the f'skers are:
1) "Hey, I'm Asian, what did you expect?"
2) "Music is universal, you f'sker!"

I tend to use the second one heavily

[angela]

yeah! finally a chinese newspaper supports ayu!!
wooohooooooooo~

[Nu-NRG]

wahoo!!!!!finaly sumone speaks up for ayu, i mean the magazine
o mimika is that monday the newest issue??????????

[AyuTrance]

i hope Alan Tam will be reading this...n also the ppl from Appledaily...
that'll show 'em...
thanx for the article...

Its a shame many of the people who live here in the united states are so closed minded to such things.
Not all of us are like that though

How nice to read this support for Ayu. Looks like they think very highly of her! Thanks!

[EdenZone]

wow !!! i found it very true........ people who don't understand or appreciate shouldn't criticize !!!!! HOW TRUE !!!

i feel so much better now.......thanks

[Chireresu]

Sankyuu for the information Mimika!

[SheFliesHigher]

Good to hear, good to hear!

Ignorance is definitely not bliss...it's just something that causes people to say curt things about stuff they know nothing about. When people ask "Why do you listen to music you can't understand?" I say that the singer's voice becomes like another instrument. And Ayu's voice is certainly one of the most beautiful instruments I've ever heard!

Hey, that is a pretty elequent way to verbalize that. I have thought similar about ayus voice but that is a good description.

[immature_brian]

things are kinda complicated here.. can't understand your point well... but i know we share the same opinions about ayu. She is indeed a role model for us.

[tinyppl]

I've always wanted ayu karaoke ^^

[bulmasman]

WHAT!!!???!!! Finally Support for Ayumi from a Chinese newspaper. Just goes to show that Ayu isn't hated everywhere like other Chinese papers make out.
