[AyUmIXx]

Although koda kumi gains sale in this year, I don't think she can replace Ayu.
Up to now, I don't see anyone who can achieve the status of Ayu. In Japan, there are many singers and bands got great selling too. But they're not as important as Ayu. I think Ayu still plays an important position in Japan and hearts of people.

If Ayu is not important, why Avex would change the mini-album to a full album. Also, they let Ayu to release the album about 1 month earlier than koda kumi's BLACK CHERRY. Also, Ayu will continue to have her CDL this year. How many Avex singers can have their CDL every year? So don't worry about that. Ayu is still the QUEEN of Avex and QUEEN of Best-selling.

Don't you remember, Ayu recently attended the programme of CNN, and that programme will be boardcast in over 200 countries. This provides Ayu's status cannot be replace by anyone.

Let us wait for the new album, Secret! And Enjoy it!

i agree with you!
let's wait the new album to be coming up!!
and i also really hate avex if they really keep on giving pressure to ayu in working too much!
