[Lora-Ayu]

Two or three years ago, my brother made me watch a music video of Tori Amos. That time I don't know who she is. But the video and the message of her song were kinda striking and it left me "in deep thoughts" for days. Her lyrics, yes were indeed good, very personal and emotional... But somehow, not most people could relate to her lyrics that easily compared to Ayu's.

What more, I don't think she aims to be a pop icon. She is definitely a very great music artist. (In my opinion... Number of sales doesn't really count to measure an artists true skills in making music.)

The comparison stated above was something new to me somehow (I mean, I used to read things about the comparison of Ayu and the other prominent western artists... And they just talk about popularity and sales. This one compared inner stuffs... With another artist. )

Here, I read something really great. Thanks for sharing.

Ayumi Hamasaki is Ayumi Hamasaki, yes I agree.
