[News] VOTE for Ayu in the 56th Kouhaku!

Quote:

I have read a newspaper today, it reported that Otsuka Ai now is more popular than AYU because of this result!! According to the result of first round of the voting in 56th Kouhaku, Ayu ranked no.21(Dearest) & no.23(SEASONS) only...... but Otsuka Ai ranked no.2 (sakurabo) and Namie Amuro ranked no.14 (CAN YOU CELEBRATE?)

We can see that here: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/kouhaku/vote/happyou.html

So, let's vote for ayu NOW!! You just need to spend a few min.~~ It has not come to an end! (deadline: 31-10-2005)

You have to fill in HEAVEN in the 2nd box, Singer goes in the first lin, song goes in the 2nd.

Correction, to see the list of Ayu's songs, click on 平成10年代 on the RIGHT side.

I changed it, I wrote "RIGHT". Thanks for noticing. I didn't even notice when I voted!

Code?

I'm not sure if this matters but when you vote for HEAVEN (or another new ayu song) I think it's better if you copy and paste Ayu's Japanese name from the list rather than 'ayumi hamasaki' just in case the computer recognizes the name as some new artist.

XD oops! Got confused! I got it now! ^_^

Thanks, I have a few email accounts I can vote with. I voted for 'SEASONS', 'Dearest', 'HEAVEN', and 'Sign' by Mr. Children.

I already voted for other artists like a week ago with my main email address :rolleyes I'll vote with my other email address for Ayu's SEASONS because I don't like Dearest.

[EDIT] Voted for SEASONS, Mika Nakashima's Yuki no Hana, Mai Kuraki's Love, after after tomorrow and Every Little Thing's Time goes by (not on the list). I voted for Morning Musume's LOVE MACHINE (which is currently #1), Ai's Sakuranbo and aiko's Kabutomushi last time. Using my other email address worked perfectly for me. I changed IP from last time I voted and cleared all my cookies...

Uhh, I tried to vote with another e-mail but it's saying I already voted. They must track your IP or something? Oh well..

Truthfully, i really don't see what's so great about Ai Otsuka...I don't know. Her vocals aren't that great. :/ *shrugs*

Anyways! I shall vote :D

sometimes i wonder if this voting really reflects the popularity (ahh... deja vu? I think I must have said this once somewhere else). IF the ranking really means the popularity of particular artists, then Morning Musume should be still freakin' popular now (and ah-ah this is false). And look at the numbers of voting rite now, it's not that really big (390K). It's only a small portion of people. I dun really know about statistics, but I assume most are from the age between 10 and er... 20? I assume people who still buy ayu cds are either really young (10 to 15?) or mature fans (like over 24-5 at least). So oh well all I have to say is that dun panic like the sky's gonna fall down. Besides, there's up and down in the music industry... So take it easy.

thanxs! I voted for SEASONS and dearest.

I totally agree Echiko.

Right on! I chose HEAVEN for the new, and Utada's "First Love", Ayaka Hirahara's "Jupiter" and Mika Nakashima's "WILL" Thanks for sharing this, I really hope Ayu wins!
