But we are more carefree about the sex image and well, America has been using sexy for years so we are use to it. Japan is all sacred and stuff and the sex image is always a shocker there. =/

A LOT. that doesn't mean that they're replacing anyone else. theyre doing their own thing. and Maki is just doing her own thing, too.

Kuu is Kuu, Maki is Maki.
I agree. This reminds me of the time the media and fans where saying Ayaka was the "next Hikki". XD

This can mean a good thing tho. I mean, Mai Kuraki debut image was somewhat based off of Hikki's debut image. Look how her debut album turned out. :O She has the highest debut first-week sales ever and her album is in the top 10 best selling albums in Japan. Nothing wrong with that all. So we can say that Maki being marked as the new Kuu is a good thing....if we let it be a good thing. =/

but look at her career now... its in the pits.....

Maki's back to square one... Avex will continue to control her until shes like crazy popular....
Uh-oh! You better edit your post before my boi Triple D sees that ur dissin' Ami.


I suspect that AVEX will pull the 12 weeks single-like plan with her. If not something similar to that but new. Like 6 month single release or something. (She releases a single every month for 6 months is what I meant by that.)
