Not everyone is going to read all of what you said? I mean your thread title doesn’t match what you're talking [it does, but it isn't specific]. I guess the magazines are trying to be more “hard core,” It’s like a magazine aimed for an alternative crowd posting things about Britney Spears [who would probably be more aimed at a pop crowd or a mainstream crowd]. It’s the stigma of being associated with that I guess? I think that most Jpop fans already know about Hamasaki so they might not feel the need to bring her up more.
