ok i stop reading there HAHAHAHA XDDDDDD

Most wanted japanese artist in France for 2009 : Ayumi Hamasaki

WOW!!!!! SUGOIIIII!!!! :love

It's a great news for AYU~~AWESOME!!^^

ermm. these awards contradicts itself..
if Ayumi has the best album of the year, how can utada have the best female solo album? Ayumi is also a female solo artist...
oooh lol I got it... best album.. best best... ok ignore me

I think that they decided to create an "original album" category, so Utada can get the prize, and a "best" category, where only best of can compete, so Utada's album is not competiting. An Ayumi got the prize^^

Hardly lol
Good to see Ayu did well. Glad they picked Supreme Show for the best cover! And a huge lol @ Disappointment of the year 2008 : Kumi Koda's boring year

That's great news :)

These two aren't the same category??

Wow great news!!
Congrats to Ayu and
Thank you to inform us Karen!

nice :P

One of those is a single,
And one is an album..
That's all I could offer ahaha

Hmmm ok!
Thanks for the info! ;)

Wow..the last one is BIG

Wow!
Congrats to Ayu!!

Haha

Yea I have no clue why

I checked out the videoclip of the song, and it's really quite bad.

I guess the French like nonsense hardrock a lot -_- like Rammstein, but that is German.

The single sold hardly though o_O

Haha I'm laughing at "Disappointment of the year 2008 : Kumi Koda's boring year" :P Surprised to see Ami get an award too.

Here in France J-Rock and Visual are more popular than J-Pop, I think that explains the result...

Unlike Gackt the other nominated singers are not really known in France (except T.M Revolution).
So he 'won' thanks to his popularity and not thanks to the quality of his single...

I like Gackt's "Jesus" single, glad it did well. A lot of j-rock (Visual Kei) bands holds concerts in Europe regularly, so it's not weird that this kind of song did good on this list, even though it's not a Visual Kei artist. =p

I thought Jesus was pretty good, better than GHOST anyways.

no no, i'm not saying gackt's single is bad (i didnt like it tho)

but to call that the best single from a male artist of 2008?

bullcrap

I dunno why that either..o.O She had plenty of stuff last year.

Maybe, but you are missing my, luna62 and x-megumi-x's point. These are the one's that are generally well-known in Europe, so therefore it is not so strange that this one was selected.

that's awesome!
Congrats to ayu

Ah, yea, I thought that. ^^

I'm soo happy for AYU!! I hope everything goess well for her this year too!!

She won the "Most wanted japanese artist in France for 2009"!!
That's so great ^^
Thanks for the information ^__^

I guess people expected more, even tough I loved 2 tracks from MOON and TABOO, many people didn't + Stay with me was cheap :D so I guess that's why they thought it was boring, cuz 2/3 single's A-sides were ballads.

Thanks for the info :3 congratz Ayu!!!

Omg is the same here in Italy.
When you say to most of j-rock/visual kei fans 'oh, I'm fan of Ayumi Hamasaki I love her! ^_^' they reply 'oh so do you like pop music she's like a japanese Britney Spears'.. =_________=

I'm glad Ayu has such popularity even in western countries!

Congrats Ayu! (I suppose...)

LMAO! :laugh
But you know, in fact, this is true. XD.

Yeah!! Ayu's BEST album ^_^

I love Namie's WHAT A FEELING choreography!! I'm glad abt this too..

was kinda surprised to see 'Disappointment of the year 2008: Kumi Koda's boring year'. hahaz.. it wasn't a good year for her I supposed?

I agree with all categories (even Kuu's haha), but the hightlight of the year should be Ayu's Anniversary

that's right :yes

for me I'm so happy for L'arc , snagging 6 categories which's great as I love their music

I'm also happy for my KAT-TUN boys too , their 3rd album to me's the album of 2008 & it's great that it's being recongised , I love KAT-TUN III QUEEN OF PIRATES so much :smitten

Most wanted japanese artist in France for 2009 : Ayumi Hamasaki

COOOOOL !!!!! Congrats Ayu !!!!

she should do a concert in Paris to give thanks to her fans :D:D:P:P

Congrats to Ayu. Ayu is making a lot of high level results lately isn't she? This year may be a very good year for her... Rule coming out worlwide, new album... tour... What an amazing girl!!. Well, not girl anymore, woman better, and a big one haha:P

Most wanted japanese artist in France for 2009 : Ayumi Hamasaki

Ayu really deserves this...
it shows that how popular is she other than in Asia...
Congrates to Ayu :)

Even if Ayu only got 1 award, she's still no. 1! ^^

Looks like i'm in the only place of the whole world where Ayu isn't no. 1 of J-pop fans >.<

:laugh Disappointment of the year. I'm never gonna get over this one XD

It's not new that she is one of the most wanted in France lol it's like since a lot of time now :roflmao

@ Melrose : Here most of concerts are visuak kei and j-rock because it's really popular. I've never found someone in France liking j-pop through my dudes, Gackt won cause of his overall popularity :roflmao not because we love non sens rock to your eyes :rolleyes I dun even listened to that single and won't anyway :D

Thanks for the information!!!

YAY! grats 2 ayu! and namie and utada :D
feel bad for kuu :[

the last one is like the one worth most! and the bestbest one is quite important, too

It makes sense! She had a huge fangroup following her the whole time during the MW PV shoot!

congrats ayu^^

Looks like France found Kumi's year more boring than Ayu's :P

AWESOME! If she goes to france, and plays i will have to se her:)

Haha... Kumi Koda. XD XD Oh well. I don't keep track of her stuff too much...

.... Wow.. GO UTADA!...

... Namie deserved those.

... Ayu is wanted everywhere. :D

Neattttt. Thanks. :)

LOL cool!!

Ooooh fun to see! ^^
Does Ayu get to know about this you think?

well of course she's most wanted! she's the BEST!

hahaha same here and last one is a biggy...... ayu is WANTED!!!!

How were these awards conducted?

cool!

i'm not sure but i think ayu was also the most wanted japanese artist for 2008 last year too...

Super Yayyy for Ayu, Gackt & L'Arc~~~ :love

Well, that's obviously your opinion, I happen to like Gackt's Jesus single and the PV was actually interesting. But anyway...
Congrats to Ayu and all else who won something, like Hikki, Laruku and Gackt-sama~

That's what makes it so funny! :yes

this is great, i feel great for my favourite artist are all there

glad that ayu won some awards

nice!! :D:D

thanks!! :D:D

WAAAA!!!!!!!! Sugoi!!!!:thumbsup:roflmao

It's great that she won best BEST album of the year. :yes

I've seen the complete list of this awards and Ayu got ALMOST the top spot for the following:

*Best female artist or band (female lead vocal band included) of the year 2008 (8.28%)
*Best female solo album of the year 2008 ( GUILTY : 13.94%)
*Best female solo single of the year 2008 (Mirrorcle World 13.13%)


Well, so far, its very nice!
And I was amazed that Ayu was the Most wanted japanese artist in France for the year 2009.


Thanks for sharing this!!! :luv2

Nice! If only they had such charts here *sigh~*

I think Ayu's trip to Europe helped her to win most wanted!!

Congratulations Ayu!

congratz her !
she's so popular in France i 'll love more if i can see her popularity in US.

I 'LOL' @ Gackt.

and poor Kuu-chan. Apparently she's BORING. Which is kind of true with Kingdom etc. AND GO AI and ANNA for their best collab award.

say what the hell are these awards anyway?? XD
