Like Ayu...she should have...had her career, and then married some respectable Japanese man, and toned her career down, had kids, and then just made appearances every now and then. You know, the right way


Anyways, I didn't expect her sales to quite cut by 50% just yet...I thought maybe they'd at least stabilize in the 10,000s for at least two days..lets see what the weekend brings.
Actually, the way you put it reminds me of how one of my Japanese friends once said "as long as they get married and have kids, fulfilling their duties to society, you can do whatever you want in your spare time.", which I assume means being gay. When I lived on the Yokohama base, the guy who ran the convenience store started out like a typical guy, but the more he worked there and was exposed to American culture, the more of a flamer he became. I think people like Ayu and Kuu are helping in that respect, that gay people can be who they want to, freely. ABC, the #1 spot, even had a heavy homosexual theme in one of their music videos.

*sigh* I wish both Ayu and ABC could get #1. Both deserve it, for being so inspirational.
