personally, i hope ayumi just sticks to japan. that goes for other artists as well. i don't think it's worth trying to make it big here, honestly. if utada, who's actually
american, couldn't do it two times in a row (even though "this is the one" is pretty mainstream), do you really think ayumi would? maybe she'd have a chance in europe, but i wouldn't even bother with america. but that's just my opinion, lol. she'll be really criticized and hated with all the stereotypical comments from haters or random people (like BoA last year on one of these blogs that i read), and i don't think it's worth it to just come here for that. i personally dislike the music industry here, anyway, haha.
so that's just my 2 cents.
