Actually, it's really really surprising that many foreign country peoples like Ayumi Hamasaki, or Japanese music in general.
I'm so surprised when I go to karaoke, and maybe the Canadian people know more Japanese songs than me... it's embarrassing! ahaha. I also wanna say that most white people which I have met have really loved Japanese things, and many of them really like to listen to asian songs, including Japanese and Korean, and those kinds of things, so it's not a matter like "white people are this" or so.
But you know what, in Japan there are exactly the same people as in Canada or America or anywhere. They just listen to Japanese (and sometimes English, but RARELY) and say anything else is so crap, etc. and don't wanna listen. Like Korea songs, or Chinese songs, they will say "it's just garbage and copying of Japanese songs."
But all the world has it's own misconceptions. Like in Korea (and I could discover in Canada and America) with people who say about Japan and we don't apologize and we don't talk about World War II or so... because it's so wrong, no body stops to actually discover what is really going on in the country and what is really being said... So I think it's best to live your own life, like the music you like the best, and don't worry about what others say about your life... if you do, maybe you'll go crazy trying to prove them wrong...
That said, I'd like to say that I think I will fall in love with ANY song if she sings it the way she sang in crossroad, even if she sang ABC song by Michael Jackson... LOL.
