I find it so sad that a creative mind like Ayu is considered a mere idol (I understand that she started off like that, but have long ago become a true artist) while Namie, a person who doesn't compose, doesn't write lyrics, doesn't do anything at all is considered "the queen." I love Namie's music and I really admire her popularity even though she's been around for more than 20 years, but some people here can't really complain about AKB48 if you think a performer like Namie is praised as royalty in the music industry for not doing anything besides being a performer, and looking "cool."
