glad to see Namie's in the first although she creamed ayu~
Creamed Ayu? I don't think you understand the meaning of this poll, haha.

Namie's been through hell and back, which is probably why she's #1 here. Divorced, single mother, with a dead mother due to a relative going crazy or w/e... aie.

Ayu's also been through a lot (no father in her life, broke up with longtime boyfriend, friend died recently, lost hearing in one ear, broken hand during a live, etc etc.) but I don't think Ayu's troubles can outdo Namie's at all.

"Gorgeous" and "charisma" were used to describe Ayu, and that she had a kakkoii / cool appearance.

that's where japanese and non-japanese people's opinions differ, i guess.

anyway, it's good to see both of them on the chart.

Spoiler:
but if ayu had a baby too, would opinions change?

Namie has endured crazy hardships... (read something about her mother being murdered by a relative?)

Ayu too... we all know about her life right?

Nice poll I like it. Learn to overcome obstacles!

Her mother was brutally murdered by her brother-in-law on the same releasing day(17th March 99) of her 12th single "Respect the Power of Love". Namie cancelled promotion for this single and flew to Okinawa to identify her mother's body.
Since then she had never returned to her hometown Okinawa, until late 2006 on her Live Style Tour 2006, she's came back to perform after many years & cried alot when performing "NEVER END" there. Not to mention the lyric of the song itself is very touching, NEVER END lyric


That's why I always respect the power of Namie, she's such a strong woman.

Thanks rocky raven for the info <3

And congrats to Namie
She totally deserves it

She's such strong person and a real role model <3


Also good to see Anna Tsuchiya and ayaka and Ayumi there, they have been through lots as well and are real role models as well.

She really is super strong. I'm not sure I could pick myself up the way she did if something like that happened to my parents...

Yay for Namie and Ayu~ They both definitely have seen their share of hardships in the business and life, so it's only natural that they are on top!

Just out of interest..why do you think that? I mean...Namie and Ayu have had much harder lives than Kumi.
Ayu came from a broken home, lost her ear, left her boyfriend of God knows how many years.
Namie also came from a broken home, is now divorced, and had her mother murdered.

I don't think Kumi can quite compare with that LOL.
