If anyone is thinking "Why isn't Ayu doing those numbers...?" well... the director of all the Evangelion films and stuff like Shin Godzilla directed that video, the song is all over the place because the movie that's been like a decade in the making finally came out, just not really comparable by any means. If the tables were turned I think Ayu could still do rather respectably in the same scenario.
Definetly. But also Ayu and Hikki have different places in Japan nowadays, in my opinion. While Ayu have kept very passionate fans, Hikki kept the interest of the general public. So anyway it is impossible to compare both releases (and both singers as well).
