Yeah I agree with you and Damita completely. If you compare Ayu's fanbase with Naoya's and even AAA's for that matter, Ayu's fanbase is STILL bigger despite the fact that AAA is gaining popularity fast. If Ayu weren't producing this, the single would probably have a hard time reaching the top 20. Naoya isn't a stranger in the Jpop world but he certainly isn't half as established an artist as Ayu is.
