While Namie is going to be in her 20's?, lol, Namie is older and she made it anyway. Utada is also older, isn't she?

I just had to use google, I'm into Japanese music since 2004 and I NEVER heard of Southern All Stars and they are #1 on the list, at first I thought it's some new band but that would be kind of impossible for me to miss, now I see they are some older guys and I'm now wondering if I saw them in dramas, the faces seem a bit familiar.

Utada is 30. Ayu is 35.

Well, I suppose Utada or Ayu (how isn't she on this, wasn't evolution like, a Japanese anthem or something?!) would be the logical choice, even if I would prefer Namie. Also, Namie already performed oversea, I don't really know about others, but whatever.
But, since groups are so tipical and famous in Japan, I guess a band would do as well. In the end, it should be what represents Japan best. There's still a looooot of time after all.
