i think ayu should stay to her own style...ie watever she likes doing...if she doesn't like to dance...datz ok to me...if she doesn't wanna go into the english market..datz good with me too

but if she wanna do both of these...i'll be one of the first to support her!!!

as for whoz her biggest competitor..i'd say...hikki and BoA....Hikki in term of the whole jpop industry..BoA in terms of whose in the same record company as she does..as u know that record companies do have to allocate their resources and make a choice between which artist to put more $$ into developing..

as for namie..i agree that she just isn't as big now as she used to be
