ai otsuka, koda, namie, YUI, BoA,angela aki, all got top spots of singapore cd-shops when they released their new albums..

i believed that most of us are general jpop listeners who favor ayumi more, or Boa more, or namie more...

only a handful or maybe a hundred+ hardcore fans will pay for the concerts tickets if they are expensive (which i expected them to be..)

but looked at RAIN :yes :yes he came to singapore and the concert is full :yes

but i think RAIN is favor by more singaporeans then ayumi or any others jpop singer imo...

Yayyy for RAIN! I didn't know he was that popular there. Wooot! I can't wait to see him in Speed Racer. That beautiful beautiful face! Go, RAIN!

Congrats to Ayu for conquering the charts, once again. I'm so glad she's expanding herself around the world. I hope she's able to come to America one day and perform here.

haha ^_^ ppl went not because they listened to his music,, a lot went to take a look at his dance + body :thud :thud:lech

I think a lot of Rain's popularity stems from some of his drama participation.. :/

He doesn't seem like his success is based solely on singing, but on commercial tie-ups and drama roles..

^Yep. Plus, a lot of his fans are older women who have the money to pay. I'm not sure about Ayu...

I don't care how he's famous! He's awesome body and sexy cute wonderful beautiful face is what attracts me to him.

How come you men can't look like him? :grumpy Get it together!

what i learnt recently is that u can't 'define' a singer... so it's a full package.

if he's successful then he is successful..no question asked...

if he's not good at singing, but excel in all other areas and popular, he'll still be called a successful 'singer'.

Then that's what Ayu is, I guess. Except... I dunno. XD


I think Rain could lose a few pounds though, compared to some of his "rivals" he's kinda chub.

Last time I saw him in the newspaper, I thought he looked perfectly healthy/not chub...

Well, not that he's FAT. But I mean, he's built a bit thicker than his Korean fellow actors/singers I guess. :\

There's nothing much that's amazing about his body if you consider that it's like, normal for someone who dances a lot and works hard to "look good." I think most dancers have similar builds to him, right? Like backup dancers and things?

if u don't have the body like him or better...i think it's no right to say that his body is nothing amazing cuz millions of fan out there loved his body ! :innocent

just like millions of ayumi fans loved her singing but i finds it nothing really amazing, and there are other singers that does better...

vice versa....

So agree =\ Nothing that special honestly but whatev.

anyways congrats to ayu for charting the top two positions.

I don't know, I never compared myself with him. Just his competition in Korea. It's not just me that thinks he's average [in terms of most Korean male performers]..

It's true though. :|

that's enough . . don't talk too much . . the more words you talk, the more mistakes you will make

If those are ranks of albums, why is glitter / fated included in it? I wonder why. Thanks for informing anyways :D

OH MY GAWD!

WHY ALL THE RAIN-HATIN'?! HIS BODY IS SPECIAL!

JEALOUS, MUCH?!


:weep



*leaves thread*

^ Rain has a hot body XD

Rain is so hot :roflmao I prefer SE7EN than him but he's still quite hot. I like some songs of him.

I don't think he's good looking at all...but it seems like a lot of girls like him.

*GASP*

EVERYONE KNOWS RAIN IS HOTTER THAN SE7EN! :grumpy ....but Se7en is HOT through...very sexy face!

BoA needs to get with one of them before it's too late...you know what I mean?! :lech
