Ayu appears on most hated list.

[Rock Steady]

You wanna see a real hate list? They need to make one for singers and groups in Korea. They have way more anti's. Especially groups like Super Junior, DBSK, and SNSD. It's terrible.

Google June 7, 2008 dream concert and you'll see what I mean.

Srsly people need to step off Kuu and Ayu's block. And they need to leave misono alone. Really, what the heck did she do?

[rakeru]

lol, poor (not) Erika is always public enemy #1. at least Ayu's not as high as i imagined she would be, being as big as she is. wish we could get an updated list, though....

Worst, in singapore, non j-pop listeners, likes praising BoA, Namie amuro and utada hikaru....

They will say " I don't like ayumi, I think BoA/Namie is better"...... Well, fine, but weird thing is, they know nothing about BoA's or namie's work......

Every popular female artist is going to be hated at some point~especially if this was voted on by female Japanese people.

Most people in this list are really pretty, so there you go ^o~

Kuu probably went higher because her popularity has also gone up, so it's just the backlash of being popular >3<

Same with Ayu - but at least she's not in the top ten..

Just imagine living in a country where your top rated female artist has been virtually the same for a decade. Wouldn't you grow tired of her and want to seek out someone else who deserves that spotlight for a change?

It's not unrealistic to believe in.

This.

I'd love an updated list though. Especially considering the reactions that "NEXT LEVEL" got from the Japanese. I find it very interesting as I would any other poll that I'd find interesting just because I find it interesting for interesting reasons that are interesting.

[kamomilla]

Jealous people makes me sad. And the fact that they probably don't have a good reason for hating Ayu and the other artists, is even sadder.

Pssh, then some of the Ayu-haters and me need to switch because I'd love to be in a country with Ayu for a decade lol.

You know, it's so weird she's so hated for pretty much no reason... At least not a good enough reason to be hated for so long wtf... People can't have a bad day in Japan? Lol.

Who makes a list like this? Probably written by someone who hates life lol, but I suppose its just a bit of fun and you aren't truly famous until you have people hating you, no mater who you are or what what you do, there will all ways be people out there who hate what she does and there will always be the people who like it

it could of course be because ayu gets exposure all the time for ten years now. could be tiring.

also... a poll done by female japanese people

definitely!

And Erika Sawajiri is Ayu's one of Ayu's favorite right?
