^ What you said about Hikaru is totally true. She may be a huge star, but she's not on that same "level." You probably know, but being a singer wasn't and still isn't her dream. Her parents were musicians, and that's how she got in. So she does love music, but not like, say, Ayumi, who's life revolves around it, and who wouldn't know what to do without it.
And in my opinion, nobody in the history of Japan's music is on Ayumi's level. I've never seen anybody so dedicated AND successful AND long-lived. Plus, she's always trying to add in her own thing, straying from the majority and taking the chances in order to put out something that comes truly from her. Not to mention, she completely has that "it" factor that so many lack. I honestly think she tries to put out high quality work with every release (at least with what she can help--if she has a boring melody, she usually isn't the one writing...), which is not something I can say about 90% of artists, at least.
Anyway.. Looking again at Kuu's cover...... They're both ugly, lol. But I definitely like Kumi's better. :\
