She'll just be wasting her time.

But, don't you people forget somthing. Ayumi Hamasaki is neither Utada or BoA, she is "Ayu", known as the
"The Empress of J-pop", and even better, recently the media is nicknaming her
"The Supernova Of Asian Entertainment". She is clearly the biggest female artist in Japan in the last 10 years. Utada might have sold much, but maybe she is just too anonymous for Europe and the U.S, she's even pretty anonymous home in Japan.
Anonymous is the opposite of what Ayu is. She's a product, a easy-selling brand. (you like it or not .. ) If Avex runs the same strategy in Europe, with the cover-shoots, impressive tv-lives, posters and sales stands outside the record stores, they are almost guaranteed to be noticed. The only thing she needs is a dance hit, without BoA's "Engrish" included.
