TITO virtually had nothing to persuaded people to buy it. There are tons of American singers who are just as popular as jpop singers but sell just about the same as TITO did (and that's with little promotion). I'm not trying to make excuses for Utada but even if her name is Utada, it still doesn't mean much to nothing without promotion. That same goes for every artist.


I dun know. Would you care to share what you think?
Yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about. You know what Utada had to persuade people to buy it? Her NAME. Same with Ayumi Hamasaki. Whether you want to believe it or not, it's the truth.
