And also she is a very high ranking artist on mu-mo, and other online stores.
I think those who say she is unpopular are greatly exaggerating the situation.
If she wasn't popular, she wouldn't be able to fill arena after arena in one concert tour...
I will never understand where the pessimism comes from in this forum.

Thanks... I often fall on this thought of taking what Oricon says as truth... We are not in Japan, we are not exposed to everything Ayu does, or everything the media says about her. We also don't know what japanese think about her, and if she's really popular or not. We can only find answers in charts and sales, and the most trustable and popular one is Oricon... Then, we only know if ayu does good or bad from this...
Moreover, international fans often take every
(sexy) little thing as a treasure... we apreciate the oricon charts, the #1, the polls, her records, if she gets a lot of promotion or not, the CM's, if the tour is long or not, every image no matter when it comes from, the prizes, if the merchandising is good or not, if she repeats songs or costumes in the tour, etc etc...
And I'm sure japanese fans doesn't care of half of this list... XDD
That's our problem...
before being an ayufan I didn't care of what an album was selling, or if it was #1 weekly.. in Spain we don't have those things (plus here if an album sells 100K is a HIT!)
So... yeah... we can't avoid it.. XD
