Her ballads are what got her #1 singles all throughout 2006.. "you",
"feel", "Yume No Uta"...

if she was selling singles cause of her image, her skanky songs would've been racing up the charts but they're not..
Also, the whole "sex" sells crap doesn't apply in Japan... the country feeds off "cute"...
Look at Goto Maki, she's completely trashy.. all her clips are of her touching her fake tits and look at how she's selling..
I agree with this. But you have to agree it was pretty sad that she had to
do all of these things she didn't want to do just to get where she is now.
I mean I know she loves singing and all, but if you were really passionate
about it, wouldn't you want to make it your own way?
But then again, I do applaud her for failing but then succeeding, even if it
wasn't her choices.
I'm glad she has control over her image and music and such now.
I hope that made sense, i'm a little pumped up on Jolly Rancher candy canes. lmao

Matsuura said when he listened to her voice he liked what he heard but her looks were of concern (basically), especially her weight.

There's more but I'm tired. ^_^

[QUOTE=JimmyKoria;829783]I was told that Japanese are kind of like that. As in, they’ll tell you if they think you’re fat. My old Japanese teacher was teaching English in Japan and a teacher told her, “Michelle, You’re looking kind of fat now.” I don’t think it’s meant to be like “pig” and it’s just a cultural misunderstanding for us? Koda obviously wasn’t fat, she had a chubby face but I’d hardly say she was fat.

I said: The point is: if in 2001-2002 Ayu decided to quit, she would take Avex with her. A whole record company. And I don't believe that was really an option.

You said: Hardly. I like how some how Hamasaki is the one who makes Japan stronger and leads everything. She isn’t a god. Avex was doing fine without Hamasaki which means they’d do fine without her.

Nope. FYI, she was 50% of AVEX profit in 2001. That's in her TIME article and lots of other articles.

OK, I know I'm stupid to reply that sooo long after you said it but...

MERRY CHRISTMAS, enjoy it and spend a good time with your family.

bye

"- She only had her contract renewed because of the "FINAL FANTASY" single, which was a hit. But after that, her sales quickly dropped. She was just another singer, with anything special. So her staff (mostly a female agent who always goes to work in very short-shorts) had the idea of the "ero-kakoii" style.

- She was the first very-sexy local artist and her first single with her new image, LOVE & HONEY, was a big hit. From then on, she kept the image and her sales only went up.

- About the ero-kakoii image she said: "I don't like it, lots of people have a very negative view of me. But when I talked to AVEX president about that, he said I couldn't change my image. Maybe in the near future, when I can do what I want, I'll stop with this ultra-sexy style, but 'till this day comes, I'll keep being ero-kakoii""

Wow.. that's...

That's really sad. I feel so bad for Kuu.
