Toriyama Draws Ayu

As previously reported, the live action Dragonball: Evolution motion picture will use vocalist Ayumi Hamasaki’s song “Rule” as its theme song. The Sankei Newspaper now reveals that Dragonball creator Akira Toriyama has drawn a portrait of Hamasaki wearing Dragonball protagonist Son Goku’s clothing. The illustration will be used as the picture label on first pressing copies of the “Rule” CD & DVD single. Reportedly “Ayu” is a big Dragonball fan. This illustration is the first art that Toriyama has created specifically for a pop music product, and Toriyama’s first portrait of a real person to be used as a commercial product.

The “Rule” single will go on sale in Japan on February 25. The Dragonball: Evolution movie opens in Japan on March 13, and in America on April 8.
