Sometimes it really makes me wonder if her presence is actually acknowledged by the mass and by other artists as well, especially during her top years. Does her achievements overall sufficient enough for everyone to consider her status 'legendary'? I mean, AKB now is the "thing." And Ayu never sold a million copies of her single in a single day, nor she managed to make them consecutive million sellers. To those who really lived during her era, esp those who were in Japan, what makes or perhaps made her a legend?
Thank you for fruitful answers.
