That's wild.

I wonder if with her performing the much simpler Christmas Live she could do a stripped back concert. I'm not hopeful though. I don't think that even in her prime when she did more simple productions she would have been successful because her voice was pretty idiosyncratic and her songs are very Japanese.

I think Ai Otsuka might have done well overseas because her songs are very catchy and very comfortable to western ears.
