Ayu to represent Japan at 1st Annual 'Asia Song Festival'.

[luminaire]

Why aren't we sending someone, like say Stefanie Sun or someone else.

Then again, this is worth watching - but only for the Ayu bit.

[~K+]

I feel sorry for Taiwan, they're sending such a bad representative.

Although HK should've sent Jacky if they were planning on sending a male veteran artist instead of Leon.
