In Japan, "fat" means you weigh more than 115 lbs. And people think that the west has impossible standards of beauty.

Ayu has had that effect and to a greater degree I think, but right now it is Koda's turn to shine. Also, Koda has not beaten the Kinki Kids. Sales from this week:
1 - Kinki Kids - 239.000
2 - Koda Kumi - 207.000
Bad news for Ayu though as that makes Koda's single the highest opening sales for a female artist this year and its total sales will likely surpass any female single released this year so far.
Very interesting video though. Thanks for the link. It helped me understand Koda better.
