My thoughts exactly! Well, of course she did. =P And look... where's utada on that charts? I know this poll probably isen't very representative for tha whole potential japanese musique consumers, but still if utada could sell a little ..

lol congrats to her...

I think what's more interesting are the other pop acts listed...OLIVIA? Love Psychodelico? YUKI? :laugh who knew they had big followings here.

Or well...maybe it's just people who read that magazine...to which I'm surprised Koda was even listed...and that Utada wasn't at all.

Congrats Ayu you're the best^^

GREAT!!!
And I was really surprised to the huge gap of some artist competing for the title.

Thanks for the great news! :D


There's a huge hidden fan base of Ayu on U.S. I think. :)

yay, congrats to Ayu and there are many more US fans than we think!

oh and congrats to OLIVIA! she did so good :heart

HAHAHA she won by the biggest landslide EVER. That's my girl. Leaving those others in the dust.

Haha wow. She reaaaaaally did won. :P

yay! ayu for america XD
it feels good to know that my vote helped...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!! gotta go find it! Ayu rules. she will always be my music queen.

Landslide win! Guess that proves she's still the most recognized japanese artiste outside Japan.

wow awesome!!!!!
congratssss! *________*

OMG 42 %

hahahha...awesomeeee

Wow 42%?! I'm glad Kumi came in second though. It's quite odd that Hikki wasn't even on there.

congrats :D She is the best <3

That's reaaaalllyyyy cool!!!

i don't see how this is american exposure considering the only people in america who read shojo beat probably already know who she is anyway

but congrats ayu!!

Where the hell is Utada? xD Shes releasing an american album after all and was big competition for Ayu a few years back and still is a little

awesome! :heart
I seriously didn't think she would win, even though I sooooo wanted her to. She really is the best! ~

Yay! And Olivia did pretty good - in comparison to Kumi!
