Andrenekoi - you're KINDA being an ass, but.... not really. My point really isn't so much that Ayu is the Tori Amos of japan, but that no comparison is really gonna be accurate, you know? There's no point in saying "(j-artist) is the (so-and-so) of japan" because it ALL depends on marketing.
A record label could take a potential diva like either Ayu or Tori - who both obviously had very similar potential - and turn them into basically whatever they want. If one exec decides that someone isn't marketable, then they won't be. But if they really like the artist, they can really push them and turn them into a Madonna or Lady Gaga if they want. Keeping it with western artists, both Lady Gaga and Tori could write their own songs & play piano, why is Tori off in the background but Lady Gaga is the queen of top 40 radio right now? It coulda gone either way for both of them, really.
