Pop star Ayumi Hamasaki is teaming up with mangaka Akira Toriyama for her upcoming single "Rule / Sparkle." Toriyama has drawn a likeness of Hamasaki that will be printed on the first press CDs and DVDs of the single. This is his first time doing an illustration for a music artist, as well as his first time drawing a real person for a commercial product.
The collaboration is a result of Hamasaki's "Rule" being used as the theme song for the worldwide release of the live-action "Dragonball" movie, which is based on Toriyama's popular manga. "Rule / Sparkle" goes on sale on February 25, ahead of the movie's March 13 release date. Link to article |

For those of you who want to see the drawn up version of her. It's in the video below:
It's a news clip talking about Hamasaki Ayumi's new single and the collabaration with the Dragonball movie coming out. Midway through, they talk about other artists like 175R and Dreams Come True collaborating with other mangakas. Towards the beginning (1:00 mark) and end of the video, they show a picture of Ayu-chan, cartoon version. Enjoy. |
