there's why i '........' it...new-age doesn't mean the genre of music and 'princess' doesn't mean they must look like one >_< I think u guys should know what i meant in the title...

[sora2522]

sorry XD;
i've been listening to alot of rurutia recently, which is kinda new-age-y, so that's what i immediately thought of when i read 'new-age'
as for princess, i don't go by looks
but princess is kinda...i mean, where's the queen??

[ayu_fan929]

YUI. As for ayaka, she's like Yuna - only her ballads are popular.

Ai Otsuka isn't a "new" artist. She had three successful albums and one best album and her peak was in 2005-2006, so she isn't the "New Princess" of Jpop.

Erika? Mmm... no. I mean, she is a good actress and all, but her first single wasn't exactly MEGA successful. I can see her first album doing OK, but she won't be the Princess of J-pop.

Yuna Ito had a successful album, but her singles aren't big hits.

So I say it's between ayaka, Angela Aki and YUI. ayaka had, by far, the most successful album and YUI has the most consistent single sales, so I say it's between these two.

I haven't listened to any of their music but I would say Ayaka. I've seen her sales, her album is probably going to surpass the million mark.

ayaka.
great & strong voice.
but yuna ito is good, too. but i think she will be between queen and princess XD

[Coelacanth]

If I had to pick, probably ayaka. She's been the most consistent IMO.

It already did some weeks ago. Maybe even a month.

[Plumeria]

Yuna Ito, she's had a good start and I can see her getting really popular.

[extepan]

ERIKA

[Chiharo]

Yuna Ito

It is a tough choice between Ayaka n Yuna Ito, hmmmmm..... but I voted for Yuna Ito, even tho I also falls in love with Ayaka's voice

I dunno, maybe material that isn't bland?

Well, can you understand the lyrics? I don't think they're bland at all...

[ayu-fan]

i have to say ERIKA, although she doesn't have a great voice like yuna ito or angela aki, but she has a large fan base and stylish fashion sense (like ayu). She has a high selling point too (her first single sold over 450K and FREE sold over 100K without any promotion)
i don't know, i just feel she will be the next jpop princess.

[AyuGAME]

i think erika has a big chance to do that
but she need to choose between act and sing
i dont think yuna and angela aki can becoming a queen
ayaka and yui is very famous too, but i don't think they can become like a next "ayu"

[ayu-fan]

yeah, probably there's no one can achieve ayu, namie and hikki's success anymore i think. but who knows. ^^

[criminal]

Right about now, I think YUI has become the new princess. No one else can reach her sales at the moment.

[yukihira]

Ayaka, she has the talent
