Haha, well, of course that doesn't mean everyone thinks that, and media and anti-fans can be really cruel... I guess it's just one more thing to add to the list of things that have been said about her... But it really surprised me she's been criticized on her body proportion too lol
Also... my friend lives with other japanese girls, and I talked with one of them, who was really surprised to know I was a fan too. She started talking "like" ayu, years ago xD that high-pitched nasal voice she used to do saying cute silly things, and started singing evolution with the same voice...
I was thinking... she is not like that now O.o But that's the image of ayu that girl knows and remembers XD
I explained my friend how different is being a foreign ayufan... we take in everything, every news, live performance, sales, charts, pictures, gossip, tweet, TA post... I think most foreign ayu fans are really hardcore fans thinking of that... xD Even if for us is just normal, or even a must! Maybe it's because of that, we use to think she is still super popular... or is a bit difficult at first to "accept" that Ayu is not popular in Japan anymore...
I guess for japanese society in general, Ayu is known, not popular.
