[truehappiness]

Yeah, it seems a little fishy, but.. it's quite interesting. Anyone who can loosely translate is welcome to do so. <3

あゆ＆平井堅 ＣＮＮから“世界進出”
　歌手・浜崎あゆみ（２８）、平井堅（３４）が米国のニュース専門チャンネルＣＮＮを通じて“世界進出”す ることになった。ＣＮＮｊで日本向けに制作された「トーク・アジア」（１２月４-８日、後１１・３０）にゲスト出演するもの。同番組はＣＮＮインターナショナルを通じて世界２００カ国以上 に放送される予定で、浜崎や平井が日本のみならず、アジアを代表する歌手として紹介されること になる。

　歌手の日本代表として“世界進出”するのは文字通り男女のソロアーティストとしてトップを走る２人だった 。

　浜崎は歌番組などでのトークやドキュメンタリー番組、新聞・雑誌でのインタビューは経験があるが、ロング インタビュー番組は実は初めて。収録は９日に行われることになるが、ＣＮＮ東京特派員ら外国人がインタビュ アーを務めるため、３０分のトークで浜崎がどう料理されるのか注目されそうだ。

　一方の平井はしっとりした歌声とは裏腹にトークは軽快なことで知られる。こちらはすでに収録が終わってお り、インタビュー内容は音楽の話題が中心だったという。世界に向けて平井がどんな表情を見せるのかこちらも 注目だ。

　「トーク・アジア」は「世界的な著名人のパーソナルな側面に迫る」トーク番組。過去には安倍晋三首相（５ ２）が出演し、５夜連続放送の今回は浜崎、平井のほかに大関・琴欧洲（２３）らが登場する。

　放送は米国をはじめ、欧州各国、アジアと２００カ国にも及ぶだけに日本を代表する２アーティストが注目を 集めるのは必至。浜崎、平井の２人には今後、世界を視野に入れた活動も期待できそうだ。

To tell the truth, the long interview program is the first time though the toque in the popular music show etc. and interviews with the documentary program and the newspaper and the magazine have the experience by Hamasaki. How cooked Hamasaki with the toque of 30 minutes so that the foreigner such as CNN Tokyo correspondents may serve as the interviewer seems to be paid to attention though collection will be done on the ninth.

The toque is known as other Hirai is contrary with a damp singing voice by a light thing. Collection has already ended in here, and the content of the interview is called the topic in music a center. Here is attention. what expression Hirai shows aiming at the world

"Toque Asia" is "Approach a personal worldwide, famous person side" talk show. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (52) performs in the past, and champion sumo wrestler and Cotoou states (23) of five night continuous broadcasting besides Hamasaki and Hirai appear this time.
