Oh no no no... :no

Yes, I heard about this, and already we're feeling that pain - how it impacts a country could impact the entire world... Especially this - possible "embargo" on downloading Japanese stuff, especially coming from Japanese TV, all because of this draconian law...

Times sure have changed...

no :(:(

Maybe it's the push needed for her and other Janapense artists to branch out internationally.

^I don't thinks so, if they want that, they could upload full pv's on youtube instead of short/teaser pv's

Well I just watched SNSD's Oh! performance from last night on Music Lovers (a japanese show) so some people are still uploading. If it is the case that no one is uploading it then honestly stuff it won't really affect us because Ayu only appears on tv like 4 times a year anyway LOL and half of those appearances are eventually released on DVD (A-nation & CDL). Anyway from what I understand some Chinese Ayu fans have acces to Japanese satellite TV so I guess all is not loss.
I think this law is specifically targeting people that upload commercial goods such as DVDs, CDs and games.

^ Indeed, it's now the Chinese users who are bringing us the music TV shows instead.
When it comes to the three or four main uploaders/cappers from Japan, they have all suspended their activities.

EDIT: So two of the Japanese cappers are actually back uploading again.

How are the Chinese able to get Japanese TV???

^ satellite TV.

it's like how I have NHK where I live.... kinda.... lol
That's going to turn a lot of non-passionate Japanese viewers to Korean stuff.... LOL <<; :S

But as ExodusUK has already said... ayu doesn't do that much tv lives anymore anyway... not a big lost xD (imo)

IA on the turning to Korean stuff, I have given up on 3/4 of J-ENT due to me not wanting to dl torrents or looking for something on the net for half an hour, the fandom just keeps shrinking since I first got into it sadly

I am kinda happy she will releasing new stuff tho w/o tv lives it will be kinda boring :(, hopefully she goes on CDTV at least once

Ayu will be in this magazine on the 27. October 2012.

This is her first time on Numéro right?
God I'm exited, hope she can be on the cover image, it gonna be biiig!

ok so is this magazine really famous or what? what is the main content and the age target of the readers ?

the translation,quite accurate,


woow so Ayu in 16 pages and without make-up?cant waaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiitttt!

OH MY ****ING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


YEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow! Ayu with "no makeup" *_* can't wait

Numero is a world-wide magazine!! I don't know how to explain but I love its style!! Just try to google, you'll see how seriously it differs from usual Japanese mags! and yeah, this is her first time!!

God, ayu!! thank you for trying something new!! now please don't disappoint us!

OMG !!! what exiting news ! Can't wait ! Numéro is a very classy fashion magazine !

no make up =D I hope there's no photoshop too haha

Ahh I wish she wasn't doing a "no makeup" shoot for a flashy magazine like this, seems like a wasted opportunity! I think a great idea would be to do two covers one with makeup and one without makeup like Ayu-Mi-X 1.

But I hope for a GOOD shoot, not sth like "A LIFE" tbh. I don't like 'life-style' shoots. they are mostly "low quality looking" like (miss) booklet >.>
