I totally agree with some of you defending the Japan nation. t2m may sound excellent to us, but how many people hear actually full understand Japanese? Yes, we think the lyrics are good based on TRANSLATIONS. We actually don't know how well it is written in Japanese. Maybe the writing is not that good? Or maybe the writings don't really go well with the music/arrangement? (e.g., hikki's Passion is a great example. Many Japanese feel awkward about a sad lyric blends with a energetic music.). I'm not saying ayu's lyrics are bad (cuz I dunno Japanese as well). Let's face it, how many of us saying t2m is excellent BEFORE the translation comes up?

And like what the others said. Japanese tastes ain't our tastes. We don't even have similar tastes since we come from different nations. How can you defend ayu's sales by saying Japanese having bad taste? This is quite naive. Also, if some ayu fan doesn't like one or two ayu songs, it doesn't mean they hate ayu. Freely commenting about ayu's work is objective, while putting efforts on defending ayu is subjective. Ayu is normal, she is not a super computer making every single piece of music like masterpiece. There could be some songs you dun like on her album.

Back to the topic, congrats ayu for another no. 1 . I dun really scared about DBSK if they are boybands. Boybands have high first day sales but they will fall like hell after the 2nd day.
