Ayumi reference in "Absolute Boyfriend" manga

I picked up my copy of "Absolute Boyfriend" number 4 by manga-ka queen Yuu Watase the other day and read it through in one sitting (which usually happens when I read her manga). Anyways, I got to a section that happened to make a reference to Gackt AND our very own Ayumi Hamasaki!



Though a little random, I think this just serves as another example of what a great representative of J-pop she is.

Yuu Watase is HUGE. She wrote "Fushigi Yuugi" and "Ayashi no Ceres" among several other titles.

THIS specific title, however, I'm not sure, but it's currently being ran in the North American magazine "Shojo Beat."

Ayu seems to be everywhere, ne?

They mentioned her in the drama "1 Litre of Tears" when Ikeuchi Aya's little sister was singing: "You're even better than Hamasaki Ayumi!"
&
In "Proposal Daisakusen", Rei says Tsuru never gave back the Ayumi CD she lent him~

The manga series is about a girl who buys a "lover figurine" (he's a very realistic robot who's sole purpose is to, well, you can figure it out) and the guy that you're asking about is her long-time childhood friend whom she also lives next to. He saw the robot guy do some unhuman-like things (like leaping from rooftop to rooftop) and is trying to figure out if he's even human. So he's freaking out a little bit. He has a huge crush on the girl, you see, and has been very jealous of her "new boyfriend." So he's comparing the robot boyfriend to Ayumi and Gackt since they're "too perfect to be real" as well.

There's a bunch of random references in anime to Ayu. I'll always remember the Azumanga Daioh episode when Tomo gets her hair cut short, and says "At least I can go for Ayu, right?" lol.

Although recently, not so much. XD~

Aww, I hadn't heard of that one!

I know, that's why whenever I *do* see a recent reference, it excites me. ^_^

She appears too in "CHO GALS! Kotobuki Ran" ("Super Gals!" or "Gals!" in EU & US). The characteres bought AUBE make-up because "Ayu looks sooo great in this CM!" ^^
