AYu was taught at a very early age that it isen't. She hardly has any family at all.


Regarding her so called "decline" she was the highest earning artist last year, she's still on top of the game, and honestly unless times flashing coochie counts, no-one puts on as flashy shows as ayu, everyone knows that.

GUILTY was a great album and it will end up being the top ten best selling albums of 2008. Just like every other album she released. She just made a bad desicion on release date.

I really don't like the tone of the article. It's kind of poisoning her image :/ Why haven't they written earlier before she announced her deaf illness. And now when they know that she can't hear on one ear they write that she is going down etc... I really, really don't like the article.

I don't think she has control of releasing dates... it's avex trax promoters/releases planners whatever's job.
She really has been educated that a career is really important.
She lived alone with her mom and granny and her mom was always at work so no wonder where she got it from.

I don't think it's important for ayu to be any queen, it's really important to her though to satisfy the fans, I didn't see anything about ayu acting ourageous with GUILTY being #2.
They should add it had a fight against kobukuro's album though and it was pretty expected it won't beat their album with their such high sales as oldies people and a lot of male's strong boyband and of course her sales decline, she's almost 10 years a singer, and it's awesome her sales are still pretty consistent, she's selling more than half a million for an album after 10 years, isn't it awesome?

It really is tough and lonely being at the top. She's sung about that many times before, so I think we should all realize that by now.

The article really puts everything in a pessimistic light.

And honestly, I don't see anything wrong with debuting at #2... I mean... it's #2, right after #1... that's pretty damn good.

I don't like Ayu because she's at the top... I love her because of her awesome music! If charts didn't exist I'd still be here. When I got into her I didn't even know she was at the top (and that was just last January!). She doesn't need a title to be #1 in my book.

I hope she really gets through this, despite all the negative feedback she may get.

I know she'll get through this!
