Yes, I also heard that Ayu's song didn't that well in Germany

Although "Connected" reached the 28 place at the dance charts.
But it wasn't that bad at all - I mean, I never heard of another japanese song doing that "well" in german music channels before.
Maybe it was just the wrong chosen song - since you can't see Ayu in the video. ^^
But anyway...
There are so many new songs coming up all days...
its hard to get on top for a star - especially if you havent' heard anything from someone before.
I mean - in Europe you can't see any music news from asia - only from Europe and USA.
So Ayu's song hit the store - and nobody could say who she is (well, nearly nobody).
But when Britney's song came out - everyone did know her, because you could even see her in the daily news.
That's just not fair! Since Ayu is one of the biggest star out there.
