Yes like someone said you're taking it too literally...
FINE! Koda Kumi releases good music! Better?!
She writes a great amount of her lyrics... So what if she doesn't write all of it?! At least she writes it...

I don't see you having a problem with Namie Amuro or BoA not writing their own lyrics for their songs...

Er... Ayu's voice is far from unique... Her voice is the typical high pitched voice... High pitched voices are extremely normal in Japan...

Koda Kumi has a lower voice but she can handle both high and low notes... She has a rougher voice also so it makes her music more unique... Her voice is so distinct... You can definately tell its a Koda Kumi song by listening...

UNIQUE TO JAPAN! jeez... If you say Koda Kumi's image is like X-Tina...
Would you like a list of websites comparing Ayu to Madonna?!
Noone is unique nowadays... Everythings been done! Jeez...

Japan is an asian country... Asian countries are still very much male dominated.. Men are the head of the household...
The fact that Koda Kumi has this sexy and powerful image of a woman taking control doesn't exactly meet with what Japanese males are used to... That's why Ai Otsuka and MM's fans are male... They're cute... Nothing too unique..
Koda Kumi challenges this with her music and image... If you look at the Selfish PV, all the men are being kicked around and are crawling... Symbolising girls are dominating... That's why her fans are female... She is a role model for girls to be confident and to take control and stuff... That's why..

It's got nothing to do with humping or being cute...
If you're used to being dominating then you'd of course want someone submissive so you can still be in control... rather than someone who's confident and can take control... get it?
