Ayumi Hamasaki & Namie Amuro Donated The Most For Japan



Brief Translation

ayu, adding NT1100 million more for the victims
Namie donated NT1830 million, the biggest donor among all japanese artistes

To date, namie has donated 5000 million yen while ayu donated NT 1280 million.
Upon seeing the devastating aftermath of the tsunami and quake, Namie donated 5000million yen for the restructuration works, while ayu has collaborated with fashion magazine, Vivi, with the sale of charity shirts. However, ayu was criticized online for using the money of others to do charity works, while she herself did not use her own money.
In actual fact, ayu has already donated NT180 million but just to counter what many has speculated, she continued to increase her donations by 3000million yen (NT1100 million) and also donating all the profits earned from the sale of the tshirts to charity. Despite so, there are some who felt that she should have donated even more since her entire wealth exceeds that of Namie’s.
