Don't you dare say that ayu_fan929, tells ill informed information/knowledge! ayu_fan929 is the smartest person on this forum!

Condescending? I wouldn't act like that if your points had some substance in them.

As for my ill informed information/knowledge, please shower me with yours, I'd like to see proof of your information, especially the part where you wrote "I agree with otsuka when she called her Vulgar and disgusting." Did this happen to come from here:

http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/waiwai...dm011000c.html

If not, then I would really like to see where you got Otsuka Ai's quote from.

Kaoru Amane (no, ERIKA) CANNOT sing. Why she is charting so high? The dorama sucked too. Gah.

I agree it shouldn't be so high and I wonder why YUI is so low... Good bye days is so good.

Ayu's singles of this year aren't memorable at all. =___=;

That is where I got Vulgar from (I tried to find it again but I guess you have) I would show where I got disgusting if I could find it, I read it a while ago, there are quite a few of those articles around that say similar things.

btw: I did'nt come here to make enemies with anyone. That is what youtube is for.

Before you accuse me of having I would like to remind you that your "source" is from a tabloid magazine as seen through this following post:

If lots of tabloids have it, it is more often than not, true.

AND FFS!! I am so over this! I could'nt care less anymore. Ayu, Koda, and Ai are all sucessfull, popular artists and I don't hate any of them just some of Koda's tactics. If I offeneded you in any way, shape, or form it is regretable and not my intention so I apologize, but If you wanna fight about something so so stupid like this tell me when and where cause I am sick of this, like I said "I did'nt come here to make enemies with anyone".

^ if that is so...
why make such offending comments about Koda Kumi, especially when there are people who are her fans...
The things you've said so far have been based on false information and opinion, so obviously Koda Kumi fans are gonna defend her...
Just be careful of what you say next time because so far your statements have been proven to be wrong...

You are just digging yourself into a hole here. The information regarding record sales that ayu_fan929 has given is correct and it does no good to insult other artists on the forum. Right now Koda (and others) are doing better in terms of sales than Ayu is - bottom line.

And Mainichi news is hardly a valid source.

I don't dispute the information regarding the record sales, I know that it is correct. I am also aware that Koda and others are doing better in terms of sales than Ayu for the moment.

^ ok there you go again.. so much for not making enemies...
Otsuka Ai fans and Koda Kumi fans certainly don't have a problem with each other... they love their artists and their artist is producing good music and that's all they're worried about...

Why make such a fuss over something like this..?

Obviously the media's going to want to jump onto Kuu's ass especially since her popularity is booming... Since she won last year, she's got something to live up to now.. I mean Ayu won the award 3 years in a row....
Seeing as how the Japanese media portray Kuu as Ayu's successor or the next one after Ayu... they make a big deal out of stupid things...

To make things even more interesting, they include another rising star Ai Otsuka... Her career is also booming... So when they write these stories they think it out carefully... Koda Kumi, Japan's hottest star at the moment. Some say she's the successor to Ayumi Hamasaki.. BUT then there's Ai Otsuka, another star on the rise...

It's a smart move on the writer's part... They've put things together well, and its going to cause a stir...

That article is a load of crap seriously... wow! So Ai Otsuka was 2nd and Koda Kumi was 3rd!! OMG... that means nothing... Doesn't mean she's 3rd best or anything... they're making a big deal of nothing...

Look A-Nation... People usually say they save the best til last... Not the case... Koda was first for some of the shows... Doesn't mean she isn't popular etc... jeez.. take a chill pill...

immel: I don't think KAT-TUN are very talented or that hot. They're just well promoted and catchy.

That's debatable.

i can't believe ayu's sales are lower than most of the others.. but still manages to be on no1 for every release.

It's good marketing... Johnny's Ent. are very smart... they get pretty looking boys to sing and dance (or grind)... and it drives the fangirls wild and that's why they're doing well... Boybands will always be supported by fangirls~

Its because she has stronger first week sales than other artists...

^^^That's the problem with the Japanese market. It's all commercial -__-

Of course, there are exceptions, and that the actual music does play a part in the sales for many artists, but some of the sales are just ridiculous.

I'm honestly SORRY!! if I offended anyone, I really did not mean to.
Interesting to note your from Sydney though.
Your also acting like i'm the only who has said stuff like this, other people have said far worse things about Koda and other singers.

its alright... i just didn't like the fact you called Kuu "disgusting and vulgar"

wow, very interesting

*damn those bishounen groups -_-

We'll always accept your apology in the end. It's okay! And we forgive you, but you know the consequences now if you say something really bad again. :yes
