Last year as in 2009. Best Fiction was 2008. 2009 Namie just had 1 single and 1 dvd; had Past Future come out a couple of weeks earlier she would be much much higher on the list. Mr. Children also just 1 dvd and 1 original album - It's like god Mr. Chiru, you are not supposed to sell this much anymore! lol. The chances of Ayu ever passing them in the overall sales ranking (career) is getting extremely slim.

She makes some great music, but her personality/attitude towards her career grates on my nerves sometimes... I imagine that it's hard for most Utada fans to see it, but looking from the outside in, it's really obvious imo.

You know, many people looking from the outside in say the same thing about Ayumi's fans.
Or I guess the same can be true of any fandom. Utada fans do often take it to the very extreme though.
But yeah, Utada......she's got some kind of magic trick that's been going on from the start of her career. I mean seriously, how does someone in their first appearance on Music Station get the shows 2nd highest ratings in history? That's not supposed to happen to a relative unknown.
