Summary & translation:
There are different kinds of music today, Ayu's music is mainly pop. Ayu is not just about her music, but also her image etc etc that attracts her fans.

Besides, pop music appears in every part of the world from east to west.

Ayu's new album "A Ballad" is actually a very innovative try for ayu to produce sth very differently, like "A Song for XX", is a very good remake

Ayu is also very popular among japanese karaoke, those who've never been there and dont' understand ayu's song shouldn't just criticize others if you dont' understand. you should go and explore why others are so successful

(note: i like the last point the best...so true!!!)
