Thanks to a lot of our wonderful loyal members, activity has gone WAY up! Here's a breakdown:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We have new moderators! Each sub-section of the forum now has a moderator:</span><br /><ul><li>Ayumi forums: eggy</li><li>Mixing Boards: HeartlessCloud</li><li>Other Interests: beautiful-firework</li><li>and Imuya as our global, forum-wide, mod (This feels like an introduction to a TV show, like we should have a picture of Imuya smiling big doing a peace sign with her fingers heehee) - Lazysister is on a temporary leave of absence.</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">We have new news reporters!</span><br />Helping Imuya, who also plays the part of News Goddess here, is PowPowParn!

Due mostly due to server load, the wiki is not online any longer, and those pages will need to be replaced with normal pages. We will be working on that soon, bringing back the missing pages. This will be a lot of work, as a number of templates need modifcation, and we'll let you know when it's complete.<br /><br />As always, enjoy your time at Ayumi-Hamasaki.net!! ^_^<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">( <a href="http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net/forumv3/viewtopic.php?f=13&amp;t=11064">Discuss This in Our Forums</a> )</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Ayu News, from http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14408093-9141126936621204271?l=www.ayumi-hamasaki.net'/></div>Luna Saishohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02999666054045323191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14408093.post-50651430195140042232009-06-25T16:36:00.002-04:002009-06-25T16:54:10.708-04:00Ayu's name along with other famous Japanese celebrity names have been "trademarked" in China. Japan Times reports that this incident hasn't been the first time Chinese businesspeople tried to trademark famous names from Japan. They unsuccessfully tried to trademark Japanese landmarks but failed because of the prohibitions of the China's trademark act. Celebrity names are, unfortunately, not covered under the act. <br /><br />It sounds like a few clever individuals have found a loophole in the law and got away it. Japan Times reports the response has been negative as it has been on our forum. Trademarking and paying for a name that isn't in your right to do seems pretty wrong. We all hope something can been done about this unprecedented incident.<br /><br />Read the full article here:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Chinese tap Japanese celebrity names for trademarks<br /></span><br />BEIJING (Kyodo) The names of Japanese celebrities, including pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki, have been registered as trademarks in China by businesspeople trying to capitalize on their fame.<br /><br />There has been a similar controversy over unsuccessful attempts to register the names of noted locations in Japan, including Aomori and Kagoshima, as well as Japanese specialties, as Chinese trademarks.<br /><br />China's trademark act prohibits registration of well-known place names in other countries but has no clear rule on the use of foreign celebrity names.<br /><br />Most Japanese celebrities whose names have been sought as private brands in China are also popular there, according to the Trademark Office of the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce.<br /><br />Hamasaki's name was registered by a company in Guangdong Province as a stationery brand, and by a person in Hunan Province as a fitness club name, the office's Web site shows.<br /><br />The site has received several anonymous complaints against the use of Hamasaki's name.<br /><br />An individual in Hubei Province also obtained the right to use the name of pop singer Namie Amuro as a brand for apparel, and several people registered the name of table tennis player Ai Fukuhara, who played the sport with Chinese President Hu Jintao when he visited Japan last year.<br /><br />Applications for trademark registration were also made for veteran actor Ken Takakura and pop singer Mika Nakashima.<br /><br />Source: <a href="http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20090623a6.html">Japan Times</a> <br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">( <a href="http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net/forumv3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11024&p=240106">Discuss This in Our Forums</a> )</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Ayu News, from http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14408093-5065143019514004223?l=www.ayumi-hamasaki.net'/></div>Miss News Reporter imuyAnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14408093.post-26287734338359281232009-06-21T10:31:00.002-04:002009-06-21T10:37:55.200-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net/uploaded_images/Tour-Goods-710119.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 410px; height: 77px;" src="http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net/uploaded_images/Tour-Goods-710110.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If, like many of us, you'd like to get your hands on some of Ayu's tour goods but are unable to go to one of her concerts or don't want to pay some of the steep prices on eBay you can now get your hands on them thanks to <a href="http://www.yesasia.com/us/1020350477-0-0-0-en/list.html">YesAsia</a>.

This book launch however has been investigated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as Maxker posted in our forums,<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">'</span></span>Singer Ayumi Hamasaki (30) 7. April last month used the streets outside Shibuya '109' without permission for her book-release event, surrounding the Shibuya Station area in Tokyo.</span><br /><br />At this event, the book "Ayu Diary of DEJIDEJI 2000-2009A" (Kodansha) was promoted. To commemorate the launch of the book in front of the "109" building, without notice, Hamasaki appeared in front of nearly 8,000 people and fans making a huge fuss.<br /><br />Also, shortly before the book lanch event, Hamasaki visited TSUTAYA, HMV, Tower Records and other large CD stores in the area. In a surprise of this event, crazy energized fans were going to chase Hamasaki from shop to shop, which led to wild conditions in the streets.<br /><br />According to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Hamasaki did not get permission to use the roads in the area, and is now being investigated for violating the Road Traffic Law in the metropol. According to Japanese law, the penalty for this type of offenses are fines and in the worst case, prison sentence.<br /><br />Passages of buses and other modes of transport had to stop for a time. Fans tear down the stage, the stage and the sidewalk into the fence have been knocked down, and the scene was very chaotic and frightening for random bypassers, including several children.<br /><br />As a result of this, Hamasaki was asked by reporters from the magazine "FRIDAY" in connection with the accusation. Sunday, she attended a event held in Tokyo, but was surprised by the prosecution against her. "I thought this issue was cleared in advance", while she smiles watching her staff. "In Shibuya? Heehaw. I should be allowed to move where I want, without having to submit an application specifically for this," she said, smiling.'</span><br /><br />Fortunately these events have not resulted in Ayu being arrested. A statement from Team Ayu reads,<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">"According to some news organizations, there was an recent event which included Ayumi Hamasaki in a negative way. However, Ayumi Hamasaki was not involved in the planning and managment of the event, and will not be prosecuted for the incident. We regret the concern caused to all the fans of Ayumi Hamasaki, we urge you to understand this situation."</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">( <a href="http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net/forumv3/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=10847">Discuss This in Our Forums</a> )</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Ayu News, from http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14408093-7480696791071450996?l=www.ayumi-hamasaki.net'/></div>PowPowParnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12080573770684017733noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14408093.post-33871822566140195362009-06-06T08:14:00.003-04:002009-06-06T08:25:16.789-04:00Hi everyone.

The thing is just about the most loveliest thing Ayu has ever released and sold out within HOURS of its first press release in online stores. Due to the popularity, a second press version was released soon after. If it's still available in stores, I suggest you get it now before they're all gone.<br /><br /><img src="http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7510/usb10th.th.jpg"/><img src="http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/4269/usb10th2.th.jpg"/><img src="http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7431/usb10th3.th.jpg"/><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">( <a href="http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net/forumv3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10635">Discuss This in Our Forums</a> )</div><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Magazine Shoots<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Bea's up April 2009<br /></span><img src='http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5590/beasup.jpg'/><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Vivi May 2009<br /></span><img src='http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/5948/ayuvivi.jpg'/><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">S Cawaii May 2009<br /></span><img src="http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4523/scawaii.th.jpg"/><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Cawaii May 2009</span><br /><img src='http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2420/cawaiimay.jpg'/><div class="blogger-post-footer">Ayu News, from http://www.ayumi-hamasaki.net<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14408093-6758173607060248723?l=www.ayumi-hamasaki.net'/></div>Miss News Reporter imuyAnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14408093.post-75609160575863423502009-02-11T21:42:00.005-05:002009-02-14T04:18:28.453-05:00Hello, Ayu fans!
