But it was never marketed so that international people could find it easy or buy it easily, like you can kpop. Such as with itunes you can buy most kpop music no matter what country youre in.
I got really excited when they advertised Namies 'Uncontrolled' on Youtube, cause that did reach out to an international audience. I remember clicking on a video when browsing Youtube one day and the advert came up for her album, it was awesome.

Oh i havent seen jpop ads come up on YT but that is very cool. I also like that Email Newsletter thing Kuu set up in English. Been fun. Just I think at this point Namies done most. Her facebook posts are all posted in both Japanese AND English, FEEL was released Internationally on iTunes Officially and she even set up that shop for INTL fans on her facebook page. I'm sure Kuus trying to do more too though. However she might be needing to fight with avex to let/help her do it.
@Possessionless No it wasnt removed from YT. Avex just limited it so you can only view it if you're in Japan. -_-
