Ayu and Namie make it rain for a good cause


Two of Avex's biggest cash cows have made sizable donations to help the cause in their home country. Robot faced Ayumi donated 35 million yen (around £270,000), whilst Miserable faced Namie donated 50 million (around £380,000). I know dollar conversions are more widespread. But I'm from the UK. So I went obnoxious and used the currency I be using errrday.

I know some fans are probably going to size these ladies up with a Who donated more debate. But it's irrelevant. We're not talking about who spent the most on a music video, or bought the most weave in a season (Kumi Koda would slay both these bitches in that round) or who paid top dollar for their Giuseppe boots. We're talking two people who have donated a large sum of money out of their own pockets without anybody forcing them or any contractual obligations to do so; and all for a good cause. The money donated between them will go a long way to helping Japan rebuild itself. And their completely selfless act is a great lesson for us all.

As a human being first before being a fan / hater of these ladies; I'm proud of them both.
