i'm confuse now..:confused

Thanks for the info.

Confusing

hey datx cool... i understand what ur trying to say ... suree i do.. yea and thanx a lot ...

the translation is from a translating website with of course, makes a lot of errors :/ but i understand. thanks for the info ^_^

Here's my take, but I never got good grades for German back when I still got it in school...so ;)
____________________________________

"The Japanese answer to Britney Spears

"Nobody knows her here (yet), but over there Ayumi Hamasaki is bigger than Britney Spears and Madonna combined."

"Ayumi Hamasaki is an unknown in this country. In Asia the 24 year old Japanese woman is the new Pop icon. In the last 2 years she recorded 7 albums and had 28 hits. Ayumi Hamasaki is not only a pop star, she's a pop supernova, and it's only a matter of time until she's also succesfull in the International music scene"

(couldn't think of the exact English translation for that last sentence, but that's what it means basically :) )


(I'm guessing the 'steht' they use means what I used in this first sentence, it made the most sense when I look at the text around it)

"The 25 year old can't stand rock music anymore. In the past Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple where her favourite bands, now the Japanese woman prefers Soul, for example Babyface and En Vogue."

"Her own music is not so much about love, but rather about fun. Ayumi Hamasaki is on the white dye/paint and on candy. She advertises for - SCHMALZKRINGEL - and also mobile phones, energy drinks and lipgloss"

"Ayumi Hamasaki actually wanted to become an actress, still Max Matsuura, a producer from Avex (one of the biggest Japanese music labels) discovered her talent. From there he produced her first single which went on the market in 1998. In the same year her first album appeared, which immediately rose to the 1st place in the Japanese Album charts. Her latest album comes out on the 12th of May this year, a collection of her most beatifull ballads."
______________________________

Not sure what they mean with 'Farbe weiß', it's either the color white, white paint or white dye. White dye (for the hair) makes the most sense I guess.

Got no clue whatsoever what 'Schmalzkringel' means, but if you know what products she advertises for, you can fill in a product which wasn't named already and pretend that's what 'Schmalzkringel' means. ;)

thx a lot HappyGoLucky!!! datz very good translation! ur german is good!! :2smile :2smile

thanks for the translated info!

wow :D go ayu! thanks for the translation, Happy! =) ayu is going global

HappyGoLucky thank u fur da wonderful translation

Hmm, that's not really accurate information.

She's always listed both Rock (Led Zeppelin) and Soul (Babyface and En Vogue) as her favorite musicians, so I HIGHLY doubt that she doesn't like Rock music anymore. It wasn't like she listed Led Zeppelin one time, and then listed Babyface another time, they were always listed together in what I've read. I think their source was a little off.

Also, she's been around for 5 years now, so that would be 7 albums (appearently NOT counting Remix albums, but counting A Ballads and A Best) in 5 years, not 7 albums in 2 years.

Nice to see she is getting some international attention, but it'd also be nice if they go their facts straight.

Thanks for the article, mimika, and the translation, HappyGoLucky!

hmm pretty confusing but i think i get it thankies for the linkies

Thanks.

I dont really like it when people say she's LIKE a Japanese Britney Spears. It's a superficial comparison.

Yeah, Ayumi is not a **** and can sing her own songs and keep a good fan amount...:roflmao

cool

Thank you for the translation and news !! Greatly appreciated :thumbsup

Arrg - I was too late ^^

I don't have always time and my English isn't the best, but I would be happy if i could help someone here too, if anyone wants a translation of a german article in future. :)

Well, you could help by solving the mystery of what 'SCHMALZKRINGEL' means? :)

ummm i got some more info on her saying she was in other magazine ...heres the link but i dont see where they talk about her ... this is what this person post


link is there also


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the picture of Ayu in the Glamour was not so good. She looks not as good as she used to be. They introduced her music in their homepage www.glamour.com there should be a link to her music
the article is super super small.....but the pic is big

if anyone find where they talk about her plz tell what they say or give a link to it...

hetfig...(is it right???)

thncxz for tha translation...

Maybe they were talking about a picture in the actual magazine?

It's 'heftig'...unless you were talking about some German word, then it might be correct. :)

i agreed at what they said. she's is definitely gonna take over the world in a matter of time, which is a short way from here.

hope she does lol... i wanna she that happen.... in the world....

ayumi being well know in the whoile world...

quite confusing though

I like Schmalzkringel~ It's like a doughnut, but without icing.

Amazing... Ayu in a German magazine~ I hop eit aöso in the print edition. I'm going to check the magatine today.

y is ayu constantly compared to britney? it's so *****.....Deutschland ist super kool! (yes i know german also....i know quite a few languages as a matter of fact....might not be very fluent in them though....) y did it censor q-u-e-e-r? what's wrong this that?

It's commonly used, and had been used on this forum, as a derogatory word for homosexuals.

Ashley

LOL, I ph34red this Schmalzkringel would mean something really sick, when I searched on Google I found this line:

Sie legen einen Schmalzkringel um Ihren Penis.

Rough translation:

You put a donut (I know what it is now) around your weener, but I think you figured that already.

Now that's just sick!

PS: I have NOT clicked on that link.

thx happy! i appreciate that too

thanks for posting the article and the superb translation. :)

mm....still no idea wat it means?? :shrug :shrug

It's some kind of donut, if I'm correct :rolleyes
