It's great to see that Ayu is so popular in China :)
Thanks for sharing~

thanks jinhamasaki and matt...edited first post :)

Its funny how shanghai is the least out of the 3 places and that is where ayu holds the concert.

Same :|

Wow, she's so much farther ahead than the rest of them! (There's at least a 30% difference between here and Utada.) lol It's great to see how popular she is outside of Japan. ^^

Looks like ayu-sama dominated china xDD

woow!! i think ayu has conquer asia!
Our queen, ayu!

Whoa, cool. Twice as much as utada at number 2.

QUeen of J-pop, EMPRESS of Asian music!

Poor Kuu...YAY NAMIE!!!...and I knew that if I opened this Thread Ayumi would most likely be the highest percentage!

This is a very sensible list, in my opinion. Probably because it resembles my own. :)

Wow I'm happy that ayu's popularity in China is extreme!
hikki's popularity there is pretty good as well, yay!

Yay, this is so great! =D

Congrats to Ayu :D And Hikki too for taking 2nd place!
