ORICON RANKING DAILY [Startin'/Born To Be]

[Raleigh]

Yeah it's a matter of opinion. Personally I prefer Ayu's voice because it's more versatile and enjoyable to the ears. I don't mind if Kumi gets exposure but avex is simply cheap by promoting Ayu so little for this single by giving her three magazine appearances only and not bothering to promote this single more as SunshineSlayer said.

Ayu has spent far more years than Kumi and has worked really hard and this seems a pretty poor way to repay a long term artist by throwing her aside and I really cannot find it in me to forgive avex for treating her so poorly imo.
