As a BIG BIG BIGBISDBGSDIFJSJ fan of both artists, in different ways but i love them both...you got me really excited. God I wish Soshi and Ayu meet in Japan when they promote there. Think the woman I respect the most meeting the girls whom I just adore like bigger sisters...yes I have become one of those lame fans. At least I don't call them unnie bahaha.

imo currently Soshi is more popular at this instant in time. They're around their peak popularity right now while Ayu's had declined years ago. Plus, everyone only likes Korean music now...part of the reason I just signed into AHS cause I wanted to spazz about jpop with people who actually know what it is ):

However in terms of the long run, Ayu's popularity peak was probably greater than Soshi's. Its kind of like comparing a Madonna with a Lady Gaga or Rihanna (god I don't know western music anymore) in terms of popularity. You can't tell at this point. However I believe Ayu's popularity is kind of legendary in Asia, since she still has quite a large fanbase even after all these years.

Its hard to explain cause there's so many different reasons why one could be more popular than the other. They both have wonderful large fanbases, yes I just have to say that I love Team Ayu and SONE's out of all fanbases, they're the only ones I can stand.


rant rant rant...fangirl in me won't let me write proper response but overall. I think Soshi's peaking now and thus more popular currently in society, while Ayu in the long run has had more impact and a greater/dedicated fanbase in the long run.
