I know that this is an Ayumi Hamasaki forum, but by doing that you guys just comes across desperate and mean to those girls.

I don't like AKB48, but I'm happy for them cause they worked hard for that as much as Ayu did back then.

It's just sales, you guys. It's not like Ayu is retiring because of that, so take it easy.

AKB are disliked if not hated by many, so don't be too surprised if people talk bad about them, they are very controversial and they either have hardcore fans or people who really hate them. Although most people just try to ignore them lol I'm talking about my personal experience when I was in Japan btw.

Some people in this forum just think it's not fair to compare a group to one person, and that's completely understandable. Even if it wasn't ayu, maybe namie or another solo artist that they beat, it would've still sounded unfair to some.

But somehow in Japan is just a female thing and not the number of members, I get it, they put everything together, so whatever.

I'm sure records mean nothing, they don't determine talent and all of that but, of course some people will feel a bit upset if their favourites get beaten lol It's a normal reaction.
