    Average or normal is what promoters want these days which is why girl mags have changed quite a bit over the years. Ueto Aya like Aibu Saki fits the profile for selling pretty much anything to any age group. She is one of the extremely few TV personalities that I actually believe to have any talent and she is no doubt multi-talented unlike some who don't even know how to read.

    Actually, the celebrities themselves are just employees of their agencies. They receive a salary and get just a small percentage of each deal. The agencies collect all the money. They farm out their talents to do the various promotions at events and on TV programs, etc.

    Do they really only get a salary from their agencies? If so they are total saps.

  • cwhite at 11:29 PM JST - 11th July

    majority only get a fixed salary with the occasional bonus, others can demand or command percentages and commission depending on the project, deal, cm, movie, book, etc... Yes, it does suck, but not that many are complaining.

    She not only didn't have to wait in line for her iPhone, she has perfect teeth.

    Hope those new subscribers enjoy paying the 7000 yen (minimum) per month.

    Am I the only one who doesn't give a rats --- about the i-phone or 9000000gigabite i-pods?

    Damn Aya is rich and cute. Becky is less rich, but still stinking rich, and less cute, in fact bordering on ugly, and certainly annoying.

    romulus can buy anything he wants, anytime he pleases...he just has to hand back one of his two softbank phones to get an i-phone. he has the touch pod already. but its a new purchase. whats he to do?

  • Sarge at 08:12 AM JST - 12th July

    romulus - Two questions.

    One - Why would you have to hand back one of your two SoftBank phones to get an iPhone?

    Two - If you can buy anything you want anytime, why isn't Aya in your possession?

    "romulus can buy anything he wants, anytime he pleases...he just has to hand back one of his two softbank phones to get an i-phone. he has the touch pod already. but its a new purchase. whats he to do?"

    1. Hand in the softbanks.
    2. Buy pen and paper.
    3. Take classes to learn how to avoid talking in the 1st person.

    Then, when your successful at that, go and buy an I-phone. A phone is a phone, but you might as well give your self a treat for such hard work and dedication.

    J/k... But I agree with sarge. If it's not Aya on your arm, who is it?
