She's a gorgeous young woman, but if she thinks I'm going to buy a book based on her life before she's actually done something, she's fooling herself.
Also, she needs to start saying sexier things in interviews:
Q: How will you be spending Christmas?
A: Oh, I'll be at home alone, writhing nude on a bearskin rug by the fire...

Concur; having already penned a book before making any impact on society other than being good looking is odd. However, it is Japan and many dreamers will be buying it for the sake of having it. There was a time when writing a book on one’s self was based on many years of trial, tribulations, professional career or a significant event that can fill a book. Today it’s become a tabloid in hard copy.

How deep can this be at only age 26?

Agree. Aya Sugimoto can write a memoir, because she has lived enough, and experienced enough, to have an opinion possibly worth reading. Or at least be interesting reading. Jessica Machibata -- nope.

A memoir written by a 26 year old C-list celeb who has done nothing and won't be around in 5 years. I know what won't be on my Christmas list...

Hahahahaha

How simple minded the general public seems to be in this country. Almost drone like. Why would anyone be interested in the bla bla life of a 26 year old woman who has made no major imapact on soceity. I bet you could get more personal info for free by just doing a Google search of her name.

...I feel sorry for the trees cut down to make the paper the book was printed on...what a waste...

I am sure that her book is written in a very cute and refreshing style just as her blog. I hope it will sell well for her. Anyone out there with good writing skills could help me writing my memoir, I am sure it will surpass any Bond film.

a little more body in the shot would have been nice

wohoo...im also not reach 30 so that i can make my memoir too? one more project that make easy money from famous and gorgeous person in this industry. if they make picture album also can be selling out...so if she got bad experiences after this, she can make 1 more book about that...after married, 1 more book about that and so on...it is worthy if they make a book about utada hikaru that want to end her carrier in a short while (end of this year if im not mistaken)... :)

i'm assuming there are many pictures of her and people would probably buy the book just to see the pictures, not to actually read it lol

Who? What? Umm, ... gee, this lady is gorgeous, who cares if she can write. Google search for nudes, anyone?

Seems to be popular these days to write your autobiography in your twenties I guess it's somewhat akin to striking while the iron is hot. Who does actually read these things?
RobbieFowler
she s quite nice; prob a surprise jenson stays with her so long tho.....but has she anything to say?? .....maybe i missed somthing but she seems one of the typical nice looking japanese girls without being special thats done absolutely nothing. Excuse my ignorance if she has but would be all ears for a quick summary of her achievenmnst here...
