:clapclap

lol. Looking at that list, you'd think only English-speaking singers were really good. Well, congrats to Ayu; she made it onto that list!

so crazy! she's the only non-american artist up there... :):):) i'm so happy for ayu!

if she'd hit numba one...she'd gain a lot more fame in the western world...and also, doesnt this mean she should actually be number one on the oricon?since i dont see hitomi anywhere on there...but oricon hasnt updates for a while so i think ayu has climed bak to numba 1 by now
