I also believe utada's music is much more suited to a western market than ayu's, so if she can't succeed i really can't see ayu managing it.
It's a sad truth  |
During her LOVEppears era, releasing the album LOVEppears I think she could have done well in EUrope (Dance music), considering the type of music that was popular then. SHe probably woulden't hit big though. When it comes to a lot of dance music few people seem to care about the lyrics, (Like dragostea din tei)
. As Ayumi is no one hit wonder artist. I doubt it would suite her.
I think the biggest problem many j-artists would face abroad except for language barriers is their singing style.
