But congratz to ayu for sure : )

You do realize that you're wrong, right? You couldn't vote more than once just by "hitting the refresh button." You had to enter your personal information (name, address, etc) in order to vote because they did a special drawing for prizes along with the voting. So you couldn't just go back and vote a million times because you had to have an actual name and real address in order to enter to vote. So it's not like she won because we all CHEATED. :trolleyes

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

I did think it was weird that she wasn't included in the voting. But the same issue ran an interview they did with Utada. Visit Utada's thread to see it. I posted it there.

but congrats ayu!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've heard that already. It doesn't necessarily mean they've heard of Ayu though. I was reading manga for years before I ever even heard of Ayu.

YAY! I;m soo happy!!! I'm suprised OLIVIA got 3rd place! WHOHOO!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ YAY for Ayu!! she won this by a MILE and I think she deserves it, congrats Ayu

Yay! Another #1 for Ayu.

Wow! What a big achievement! ^o^ Go Ayu, and Kuu for second place~! ^^

that's what's personally very interesting to me lol

I mean, I have no doubt ayu would win in this type of situation...but kuu getting 2nd kinda befuddles me lol

I wasn't aware that normally people who like manga enough to read a magazine about manga...would be more into Kuu's music than say hikki's or something lol

this is ayu's trully title :D

omg that's great!!! the others really can't beat her with such low percentage.

thanks for the news

WOW so great results!!! congrats to Ayu! it's a very good result!!

Nice! :D congrats to Ayu the queen of Jpop :heart

wow, thats kool!

i tohught Hikki or BoA would be on the list too~

Very great and happy to say. It seems like she's really attracting a lot of international fans, especially the Americans and the French...

oooo! i saw dat in da library! xD i almost screamed out loud xDD

Yay :D That's good she kicked her asses haha.... thanx for the info :)

:roflmao

:yes

Anyway, I'm sooooo happy 4 ayu :luv2 she absolutely deserves it :lech :yes
Shame i couldn't vote :eviltongu

Hail to the queen!!! :D

I can't believe Olivia got 17%. She's virtually unknown in Japan for anything other than for NANA but I guess she has plenty of fans in the US.
