Ayu's biggest community at
Orkut* have around 6k members nowadays... During Orkut's peak, it had over 10k members... Enough to sell out venues some of our major stars perform in.^^ As we have a huge japanese population, a lot of aspects of japanese pop culture were already huge over her way before it took the west... We were watching animes and super sentais since the early 80s (even before if we consider National Kid and Ultraman, my dad watched them on TV when he was a kid) and Mauricio de Sousa (a kind of brazillian Walt Disney) is heavily influenced by manga aesthetic, both because he was an Osamu Tezuka fan (and close friend later) and because the majority of his illustrators and his main art director (that is his wife now) are japanese decendents. Studing Mauricio's relationship with manga was actually my major project during college
PS. Orkut is a social website owned by Google nowadays that was really popular in Brazil and India (not sure if it still big in India) among other countries. It works pretty much like Facebook on most aspects, but instead of pages, it has communities, that are webforums about any subject someone bother creating a community for. It's popularity went down with the rise of Facebook, but a lot of people (me included) still use it because of the discussion possibilities of having the forums there.
