Ayumi ~ The Anything Goes Thread 7 ~

[Sven@.@]

It's kind of strange having her in the US, and I don't mean this offensively. But when I started listening to Ayu, I always imagined she'd pretty much just stay in Japan. And then all of a sudden, she came to LA----not once but MANY times---and to know that she's like driving around the same city that I'm in, is cool but it's also just like "Wow, that's surreal."

I imagine that the Japanese fans aren't too particularly thrilled about her being here all the time (can't speak for them but I can imagine that being an feeling). It seems like she's filming over here, recording over here, falling in love here. She bought a house. It just seems like she doesn't want to be in Japan, or maybe Japan feels stifling for her---don't know.

I do think the single will be harmed because of the news, especially considering if the general Japanese public are not fond of him being an American, plus the fiasco last time. Does she just go back to Japan to tour and release her music? Because it just seems like she's here in the US and not there. Does she have plans on trying to become an Western artist?

Sooo many questions.

Wow. I had this same exact thought the other day in concerns to Japanese singer MiChi because she was in Hawaii doing a marathon but it's like, she's running with people who may have never heard of her but she's like this singer in Japan complete with albums and music videos and live performances

It's like, Ayu is just roaming the streets of LA and not many people know that she is the #1 Queen of Japanese pop music. It's crazy.
