yay! *throws confetti* Go Ayu! :shimmy

world music awards? on abc? i'm sure they'll edit out that part...blah.

but congrats to ayu! thats awesome!!!

Hoorah! You go...girl...

I'll be sure to tune in and watch. Thanks for the news!

ooohhh!!Great!!!
She's the best!!^^

Congrats to Ayu I wish I could see her on american tv though and her being in america. I mean for her to live here and spread her career even more b/c I don't have the money to buy $30 worth of an album but I know if she came here too maybe ppl would buy her albums instead of just dl'ing them.

Any foreign publicity is good, even if it's as little as this. =)

Ohh... Seeing her on American TV would be truly amazing!

Interesting how they have Destiny's Child as both a pop & R&B group, hehe.
YAY AYU!!

That's great!

I doubt she was there or that they'll show anything on her.

I'm sorry to disappoint you all but Ayu won the japanese award in the past for a few times already and i have watched all of them ----and no, she never appeared nor she was ever mentioned. I think they only listed the people from other countries. Only the AMerican singers participated........I don't think i'll be watching it considering Ayu won't be there.

Yay! Go AYU! I knew she was gonna win :D

Yay! That's great for Ayu! I'll be watching this! Last year, I saw Jay Chou winning for China. (He wasn't there but they showed a clip)

Are you sure? There is a file of Ayumi accepting the World Music Award in 2001 (she looked completely stoned out in the clip, though) wearing a cowboy hat (Unite! era). I think it depends which broadcast it is, depending on the country.

oh kool!!

i wonder if it's going to air in Australia, or when...

The clip airing in America? On ABC? Don't play with me... are you sure? :think

I am SO watching this. I remember when Hikki won in... 2001? and they showed a clip of her saying thanks to her fans and people who bought her CDs in English! They may do the same thing for Ayu.. but in Japanese of course. Or they may cut the video because "it's not in English so it dosen't interest people" :(

...omg~ Ayu's total single sales will surpass one million this year, no? And her new album will most likely boost her CD sales to two million.. omg. O_O Ayu really is a selling powerhouse XD I never thought about the combined CD sales, really.

we should all contact ABC and ask if they can show her.... or her clips (at least)
