I didn't say they DISLIKE her music, just that her image is more popular than her music, and the fact is that Ayu is doing better digitally, as Rule/Sparkle manage to beat WILD/Dr. physically and Sunrise sold way better digitally in 2009. Those are the facts. The digital sales of the songs do show what songs are popular, WILD and Dr. were more or less popular however not more popular than any of the songs Ayu released during the same year and many other female artists who did even better than Ayu (Nishino Kana and JUJU). Namie is popular for her image and dancy tunes, but that doesn't make her songs are huge hits.

The Ku trolls should go away as no one even cares anymore
