That's amazing.
I wish that her music was more mainstream in north american countries though.

YEAH!! WAY TO GO, AYU!! :)

Ayu rules :D

Thanks for the news! ayu's popularity is really very high! :yes

...and so she should be.

wow that's cool , nice to see her dominating & in the front line

gotta give due respect to the ladies :) & woah Ken's the only male solo artist in the list :O

i'm surprised ponografitti and ketsumeishi will in there too~

YAY for ayu!!

o.0
i tot l`arc en ciel will be like #3 or something ;/
Gratz to Ayu :D !
Keep up the good work !

woohoo, my triple A is there. Go Ayu, Ai and Arashi! Arashi should so be higher...they make people happy without the use of drugs XD
Although most of these choices are predictable cause most are mainstream artists in japan.

YAIIYYY AYU FOREVER
so sad there is no Ami Suzuki
i'm happy there are Namie amuro, Mika Nakashima, Ayaka, Ai otsuka,Kumi Koda

We need an International TeamAyu!!!

^AGREE!!!
please ayu, make one for us!!!

I 2nd that :yes

AR!! the difference is rather huge! Ayu certainly rules! ar... =D

good news!! probably ayu is so famous cos of the ASIA TOUR 2007. a concert really can boost the popularity of an artiste! keep it up!

^ maybe ayu will consider to have her AT09 in asia more after she seen those list

thanks for sharing!!! its really good to see this news! congrats to ayu, hikki and namie~

Wow! This is very surprising!
I didn't expect that she was VERY popular in China.

Thanks for the info!

This is great... Always the queen ayu!!!

Wow, China loves Ayu! :D Thanks for the information~
I wish they would do a poll amongst Americans who listen to Japanese music...I'm interested to know how popular she is in the US.
