I mean, how did BoA and Utada do in the United States? I'm just wondering...

But in the case for Ayu, we'll just have to wait and see if she's going beyond, especially with the digital world today we can know about Ayu from virtually anywhere around the world, even in the United States (and maybe even Africa)...
BoA's album sold around 8000 copies(or more) and reached #127 on the US billboard 200. Utada's This Is The One sold like 16000(or more) copies and reached #69 on the same chart(1st Japanese artist in 20+ years to do this) and she also became the first Japanese artist to reach #19 on US iTune's overall albums and #2 on US iTunes Pop albums.
