Ayumi Hamasaki on The Cover of ViVi.

Anyone who goes clubbing in any city on this planet knows that, whatever your sexual orientation, some of the hottest parties are at gay nightclubs. Apparently, J-Idols are hip to that, too. One of Ikue’s best friends is gay and regularly frequents a club in Shinjuku called Arty on 新宿二丁目. Last weekend he spotted Vivi cover girl, Ayumi Hamasaki partying it up with Arty patrons. Perhaps, she’s still trying to compete with Namie Amuro, whom he says goes there frequently. So, if you want to get a glimpse of either diva party it up in Shinjuku. I might even be able to pursuade my baby’s best friend to play party tour guide.
