CONGRATS ON NINE YEARS, AYU!

It’s been nine years since the release of the poker face single April 8,1998, and Ayu’s still going strong!

A BEST 2 -WHITE- and -BLACK- came in second and third respectively for the month, behind on super-group Mr. Children’s latest album (for a bit of trivia, Mr. Children is one of the bands with whom Ayu shares the 20 million+ sales record. She is still the only female and solo artist to reach such a milestone, though.)

Ayu signs autographs in Hong Kong

In addition, Ayu arrived in Hong Kong earlier this week for her second show in her first ever overseas arena tour. The reception by adoring fans was just as crazy as her arrival in Taiwan; check out this great Xanga for media of the event or ON.cc for more coverage.

Finally, the Weiider television spot featuring Ayu has premiered (sadly) without a hint at the distant single.
