I think a lot of people are probably scared for her to debut in america, because of the past failures of other asian artists.. BoA, and Utada are only small shadows of their popularity in asia. I know I feel hesitant for Ayu to do this too.. I don't want to see her fail..

If she makes this decision.. I hope she knows english WELL. Lisps/engrish will definitely put her at odds with the american music industry. She just needs to perfect the sound of her english, and learn the language very well. There's a lot of pressure.. But she's so talented.
