a veerrry cute and inspiring article. I'm in looove with the last line xDD.

But! I totally agree with what emiko said; especially the parts about...just the WAY and STYLES or singing are so different between American idols(o_o;lol) and Japanese Idols. It would extremely hard, if not possible, to have that style generally accepted in America because of what most people's perceptions of "good and correct" singing is. Or how pop shouldn't get too radically "out of place" (My example of this is Utada Hikaru....however...I don't think she was advertised too well...I never saw a single ad for her out here, nor did local radio stations have her songs../hmm). So yea, even Hikki, in all her lyric writing and arranging skills, couldn't please, so to speak, the American culture.......then again..she DID debut w/ Easy Breezy...>>;;. But! Then again, as she said, is was only experimental.

And also, I don't even think Ayu WANTS to try to create a name for herself in America just because....maybe Japanese and Japan are just closer to heart than any country or language could ever be, and she'd wantto share that with ones who appreciate that and adore her for that.

So yea :3 there're my 2 cents~
