One day my mom was cleanning the house and she was singing Cutie Honey, I was like "wut? who are you and what did you do to my mom?"
And one day I was watching Dream music park, and my mom was reading some newspaper on the sofa, and she stopped and starting watching the concert with me lol Also, now I'm living in another city, and when I came back home for my holidays, she said "I miss you listening those songs from that japanese girl, I really like some of them". That made my life
Also I agree with you guys about her image and also about getting a career in the west. I don't know if it's because she gets a lot of demo songs from the west, but she's really got something that makes her a bit more western...
