Why would anyone be embarrassed to purchase an Ayu CD? LOL

That applies more to C-ute and the H!P..

On the contrary, I don't think most Japanese people would be embarassed to buy H!P CD's at all. They have a drastically different sense of what's cool/socially acceptable than the west. I think people would be more embrassed to buy material from someone like Kuu, who defies the notion of what a Japanese woman is supposed to be.

From a foreigner's perspective, probably. But I think that the sales figures show a different side of the story D:
