not only happen in Singapore...my country, Brunei, also got infected with the K-Wave...although here in Brunei, they only know Jpop songs from jdorama and anime, they still don't know who's AYUMI HAMASAKI. ...Hahaha...only certain people knew her...
In Brunei, people knows UTADA HIKARU....but only her "FIRST LOVE" era...that's it...oh! yeah...and Kiroro too...but only their "Mi'rae" song...and they don't even know that the group is duo...they thought Kiroro is a solo artist!!!!
Since K-WAVE hit Brunei, people knows SNSD, BIGBANG, 2NE1 and others....but what they didn't know that these Korean artists also release their songs into Japanese~~GOSH!!! It's very hard for me to explain to them about this!!
Some of my friends often says "Ayumi Sucks" and other stuffs mean...but I don't care because I know Ayumi Hamasaki
...She released alot of great music. she's my idol
