Don't think it says anything about either of their talent. However in my eyes what it does say is that despite being in the business for 15 years (17 for Ayu) the fact that they can still sell/ship 50k of their records and place Top 5 is awesome to me. Especially considering Ai Otsuka's last album sold 4k and BoA's sold around 13k and both were big competition for Ayu/Kuu just a few years ago.  |
BoA and especially Otsuka were relevant way shorter than the other two. TBH back in 2003 I would've thought Ku would end up like BoA, I was wrong though as it seems she still has a relatively strong following which, in Japan, seems to be pretty hard.
