That "small number" is bigger than everyone who knows about Ayu, Kuu, and Namie combined. Seriously. Kingdom Hearts was huge, and I've never met anyone who didn't say automatically how much they love those songs, whenever it comes up in conversation, and it does come up.
Hikki also has a...more "interesting" sound. The people who usually flock to everything non-mainstream, or even everything non-American, find more solace in her sound, than in the "rejected American demo" sound, or Koda's pop and hip-hop sound. I mean, that's the sound they're trying to get away from lol
And since Ayu isn't really known anywhere, they find Hikki first.
Remember, Hikki also did the theme songs for Evangelion. And when she traveled around Sephora's during her tour, loads of people came to see her. No one else would get as many.
Anyway...internationally, I'll go with Namie. Maybe because of her Inuyasha song, Come. My real life friends even had a discussion about her on facebook a few weeks ago. Was so weird. I thought one of you had posted the song lol
