congrats ayu :D
it's really good!!!

-NEWS charted well too!!-

Wow, w-inds ranked FOUR TIMES? Nice going for them... And yay for Ayu and Koda. :D

Woot, go Ayu for charting so well! =D

Great news!
ayu got the Queen crown in Taiwan!

A spot of light in my heart after the whole ayu losing her left ear news.....

i wonder why winds is really famous in taiwan
congrats to ayu...

good job 4 a best.
now GUILTY...

Wow, glitter sold more than Black Cherry. LOL

w00t! Congratz to her. Nice to see Japanese albums/singles dominating the charts with only 1 korean album by Super Junior ehehe.

that's my Queen of Jpop , Ayu . . yeahhhhhhh

congrats to namie and boa ^_^ ...

btw black cherry was released in 2006 for your info... u should know what i mean:yes

btw..w-inds is DAMN popular in taiwan from what i see >_<

This chart is from 1.1.07 to the end of the year.

Black Cherry was released, as I am aware at the end of the 2006, leading into the new year. :|

The 2006 ranking is here with Black Cherry nowhere to be found.

wow O_O..then taiwan ppl really don't like koda ! i even bought that album even though i'm not her great fans...

but if u added up all the w-inds percentage (including keita's) = 11.46%!!!

i bet going to taiwan for regular tour helps ALOT!! lol :yes

w-inds has a lot of fans in Taiwan. They've gone there for quite a while and established a core fanbase. :D

I think Ayu did the same things like winds . . Ayu should go many countries for concert , I mean not this moment , . .
I'm sure she can hold concert in Singapore . . Indonesia . . and even in Europe . . to establish a core fanbase . . (that's my imagination :D )

They've done it for years though. Ayu's done it once. :\

if she does that...i'll go :yes

even i don't fancy ayumi but if a big jpop star i know comes to singapore for concert, it'll be a once in a life time experience!

I think Ayu's didn't go that much to other places must has a reason . . a reason which make her Queen of Jpop . . you know what i mean? she just make sure to occupy the music industry in Japan and that's difficult to break by other the artists . . . no offense to other J-pop artists

but does it means that if she would to get herself involved more with overseas promotions/concerts, she will lose her place in Japan? :irked

so she's not doing much overseas ?

I am really glad to hear that . . :) . . and I'd love to say thank you instead of Ayu . . but this is not my position

oh yay!!!

of course! i will say that! cuz i'm not a biased , crazy fans of anyone >_<

i'm a jpop listeners and like listen to jpop music i loved, and avoid those i dun like...i gives my comments not based as a hater, a hard-core fan of who... my replied are based on what i feel, i thought from what i saw and heard...

hope u understand that and i'm glad to know u're glad to hear that...:headache

on topic:

i dun think singapore or other smaller asia countries can afford ayumi and vice versa , avex can't afford plenty of empty seats in the concerts...so...

yeah . . that must be the reason and the reason I don't have a chance to see Ayu's concert

That's great!

amazing! #1 and #2!! ayumi is the most popular japan artist in the world of course

YAY, go Ayumi. Maybe my YesAsia HK purchases were also counted? :O

great achievment..
and great sales..
hahah
ayu can surpass korean artist too...

YAY!! Keep up the good work ayu :)

Yay Ayu! Glad to see she's taken the top two places. :clapclap

cool!!! Ayu is great! looks like t2m didnt really sell there too...hah but tats ok

I love the crown as the symbol for number one. :bchuck Cute!

Anyway, congratulations to Ayu! :clapclap

yay to ayu.... seem that taiwan likes ayu very much!!

ussuall for Ayu :)

ooohhhh... cool OMEDETTO Ayu!!! she's so famus both A best 2 at the fists places!!!!
I'm so happy for her!

Yay for Ayu and Namie!!

I so happy seeing Kuu just managed to make the top 20, good for her :o

But if im not wrong ABEST w+b managed to sell like hot cakes in singapore too (judging from the their ranks in various cd-stores in singapore)...so that means singapore also has alot of ayu fans ^. thus there will not be many empty seats..the only factor is that whether singapore fans are willing to pay for the high price ticket or not.

ai otsuka, koda, namie, YUI, BoA,angela aki, all got top spots of singapore cd-shops when they released their new albums..

i believed that most of us are general jpop listeners who favor ayumi more, or Boa more, or namie more...

only a handful or maybe a hundred+ hardcore fans will pay for the concerts tickets if they are expensive (which i expected them to be..)

but looked at RAIN :yes :yes he came to singapore and the concert is full :yes

but i think RAIN is favor by more singaporeans then ayumi or any others jpop singer imo...

Yayyy for RAIN! I didn't know he was that popular there. Wooot! I can't wait to see him in Speed Racer. That beautiful beautiful face! Go, RAIN!

Congrats to Ayu for conquering the charts, once again. I'm so glad she's expanding herself around the world. I hope she's able to come to America one day and perform here.

haha ^_^ ppl went not because they listened to his music,, a lot went to take a look at his dance + body :thud :thud:lech

I think a lot of Rain's popularity stems from some of his drama participation.. :/

He doesn't seem like his success is based solely on singing, but on commercial tie-ups and drama roles..

^Yep. Plus, a lot of his fans are older women who have the money to pay. I'm not sure about Ayu...

I don't care how he's famous! He's awesome body and sexy cute wonderful beautiful face is what attracts me to him.

How come you men can't look like him? :grumpy Get it together!

what i learnt recently is that u can't 'define' a singer... so it's a full package.

if he's successful then he is successful..no question asked...

if he's not good at singing, but excel in all other areas and popular, he'll still be called a successful 'singer'.

Then that's what Ayu is, I guess. Except... I dunno. XD


I think Rain could lose a few pounds though, compared to some of his "rivals" he's kinda chub.

Last time I saw him in the newspaper, I thought he looked perfectly healthy/not chub...

Well, not that he's FAT. But I mean, he's built a bit thicker than his Korean fellow actors/singers I guess. :\

There's nothing much that's amazing about his body if you consider that it's like, normal for someone who dances a lot and works hard to "look good." I think most dancers have similar builds to him, right? Like backup dancers and things?

if u don't have the body like him or better...i think it's no right to say that his body is nothing amazing cuz millions of fan out there loved his body ! :innocent

just like millions of ayumi fans loved her singing but i finds it nothing really amazing, and there are other singers that does better...

vice versa....

So agree =\ Nothing that special honestly but whatev.

anyways congrats to ayu for charting the top two positions.

I don't know, I never compared myself with him. Just his competition in Korea. It's not just me that thinks he's average [in terms of most Korean male performers]..

It's true though. :|

that's enough . . don't talk too much . . the more words you talk, the more mistakes you will make

If those are ranks of albums, why is glitter / fated included in it? I wonder why. Thanks for informing anyways :D

OH MY GAWD!

WHY ALL THE RAIN-HATIN'?! HIS BODY IS SPECIAL!

JEALOUS, MUCH?!


:weep



*leaves thread*

^ Rain has a hot body XD

Rain is so hot :roflmao I prefer SE7EN than him but he's still quite hot. I like some songs of him.

I don't think he's good looking at all...but it seems like a lot of girls like him.

*GASP*

EVERYONE KNOWS RAIN IS HOTTER THAN SE7EN! :grumpy ....but Se7en is HOT through...very sexy face!

BoA needs to get with one of them before it's too late...you know what I mean?! :lech

what if BoA wants both of them ? :D

I think Rain is ugly. I don't think many Korean stars are good looking though. Except for maybe Won Bin or something. I like Se7en's music, heh. He's just cute for me.

Wow nice charting

Ayu always the most popular Jpop Queen in Taiwan!!

agree :yes...but i won't be commenting on rain further more.

Anyway ayu's popularity in singapore might lose to rain's..but certainly not by a huge difference :)

*GASP*

Your right...I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF HER THAN....*GASP*

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Go Ayu!!!!

why is Arashi not up there?!? >.< o well, NEWS and Ayu r up there! ^^

Mmm Rain. Good GOD mmm Se7en. :smitten

Oh, wait. This is an Ayu thread.

She definitely kicked ***. GO AYU!!!

P.S. Rain is not teh chubbs. Plus, with all the oil all over his body all the time I think it'd be too hard to grab his love handles. :P

only one korean album in top 20 ^^

Cool.. guess taiwan realli likes Ayu..=) She's an international star..
