Namie Amuro still doesn't have an International fan base the size of Ayu's or Hikki's nor do more people know who she is outside Japan, just take a look at the number of their last.fm listeners for instance. I don't think J-urban has ever actually had a big fan base around the world. I mean I discovered her in 2005 and tbh I didn't think she was that great compared to the other two as her music back at the time (Style, Queen of Hip Hop) sounded way too American for my taste and I was into completely different stuff. So I pretty much agree that her International fan base started getting bigger with QoHH and PLAY and that before that not many people actually gave a damn about her.
