I'm agree. That's why she appears in such list.

[prussian blue]

and i'm sure koda is gaining because oh her scandal...

but good to know ayu dropped alot!

[extepan]

those haters!!!

[sitara]

the more popular you become the more haters you get too.
it's not because you are nr. 1 all the time, the whole country loves you.
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

[TITANIC]

anyway there're artist haters as always everywhere

[Ayunk]

sad to hear that.. but at least ayu isnt in the top 10.. and yeah, probably those haters are just jealous

[keikeiaznqueen]

Lets look at it this way: on a list of popularity, Ayu would be WAYYY higher up in ranking.

Which shows that Ayu's proportion and fans and haters isn't balanced. There are more people that like her or are neutral than there are people who hate her.

[Jwiz]

Jealousy, most probably.

Yeah what keikeiaznqueen said.

Shouldn't be shocked at seeing her on lists like these. As popularity goes up, so does the amount of haters. And it really is nice to see that shes actually ranked quite low on a list like this.

and WOAH Kuu is skyrocketing there haha.

[SolarAngel]

Which silly people came up with such a silly list. But at least we know she's also the most popular japanese female solo singer since the last decade so whatever

Although most say they once liked her and that they still enjoy a few of her older songs, the majority of Japanese people I meet say the same things over and over about Ayu:

1. Ayu is over. She's lost her touch, her spark. She's worn out and embarassing now.
2. Ayu is fake. She had her eyes done and sets a bad example for self image.
3. Ayu is such a diva. She's *****y and an over-the-top control freak.

She's reached that level of fame where the country is split on her. Half hate her, half love her, and the middle ground is slim. It just comes with the territory, and it doesn't reflect her as an artist or a person.

[freedreamer]

^yea..thats why they hate her...

wadeva people..

[Cloudsoldier]

mind your words! Kuu-hater in this thread!!!! D=

You know I hear quite the opposite from Japanese people I know. A lot of them think she is a strong woman and admire her but may not necessarily buy her music. I guess it's like you said, the country is split, some love her, some are annoyed with her. I guess we would have to consider someone who is over promoted in the U.S. to understand what it must be like for the Japanese to experience Ayu for a decade. Personally, I wouldn't mind, I think she's a strong figure in the music industry and a great role model.

And to be honest, I don't know why people STILL think of Koda Kumi as a sl*t anymore. Nothing she's done since before "BUT" screams sl*t to me... In my opinion, she's toned it down alot. Her dance moves aren't as erotic and even if she's not dressing like a nun, she doesn't dress much out of the realm of "pop-star." I started to realize her change in image when she did the PV for FREAKY entirely dressed, at some parts, in rags xD;

HAHAH!Jealousy reigns!

Koda isn't a ****,I thought those remarks here were flaming.

[[kokoro♥]]

^ I agree. Kuu hasn't been ****ty since BUT ._. uff.

And, there are only famous people on that list. So of course everyone is going to show up.

[♥ you!]

I don't think Kuu being ****ty is the main reason why she ranked so high. Kuu has a personality that well..you either love or find extremely annoying. The skankiness + scandal doesn't really help her either.

lol@misono being on the list. I have a feeling people voted for her just cause she is Kuu's sister

[truehappiness]

They could also hate her for baring her body so many times when there's nothing to really see.. (weight loss thing, her new album, etc..)

I personally think this list is just a bunch of bull made by some wota-blog. Sure, Ayu is hated by people in Japan generally, but I think with popularity comes a lot of haters. Especially if you've been out for a long time. I sorta wonder what people say about Yumi Matsutoya or Seiko Matsuda.
