I've heard some misono's music and it is crap, seriously and she's had wierd cover shots of her albums, especially the most recent one, where's she nakey.
Honestly, misono was up quicker than kuu at first. Kuu was struggling when misono was having success with her Band, Day after tomorrow. Until Kuu sung FF X-2's theme then she came up real quick. If only she wasn;t offered that role in FFX-2, she might still struggle until now. And honestly misno wasn't as bad as she is now. I dunno what happened to her voice, probably it is due to her sister popularity now that she feels that she has to catch up or sumthing. it is funny how they changed places so fast just because that one role.

And I don't think genre has anything to do with it. There are some great j-urban singers who, imo, as good as or even better than Kuu but they still struggle until now, some even failed and never came back. it was all thanks to avex and its great marketing power and off course a good booster (head start) like ff x-2. Though I have to admit some artists, even with a good head start still failed miserably.
