*sigh* obviously someone didn't get the point : ( The point is you shouldn't label other artists as fan stealers just because you don't like them. Its offensive to fans of that artist and rude. Anyways music similarity is subjective if I'm not mistakened. I don't think THSK songs sound similar to JE songs at all, but I personally think some of namie's music at that time and ayu's do share similarities. Not a lot but some songs do. Thats just an opinion v_v. So lets not label other artists as fan stealers, and then make ayu an exception. How about we make it even and just say all artists can recruit new fans : ). I think thats a better way to view it : D

Anyways I don't think Next Level will beat Trick because Ayu's sales position might be steadier but her sales is declining pretty steadily. Thats just my guess, but I think the sales difference isn't that huge for it to be impossible. we'll see : D. Go Ayu! Show us what your album is made of haha
