[News] Utada Hikaru named the most influencial artist of the decade by Japan Times

[ayumisrael]

I also agree that hikki is one of the most influential artists of the decade in japan but I highly dislike how the journalist degraded the others in that sense it's just biased and ruins the article.

hikki had the biggest influent musically, but he totally turned down the influence that ayu and namie brought with both their music and fashions. And it's not like it was a small influence in the music part.
I wish he would also mention the hard work ayu and namie are doing just from their often tourings interacting with their fans and sing them their songs, since that's a thing for example that hikki lacks. hikki works hard too but that's only when she records songs and put out new albums and does a tour which is rare from her since 2003-2004.
There are many props for ayu and namie that hikki doesn't have that an artist should or would do even though her music is a top notch. But of course why the hell that journalist "should care".
The stuff about kuu were really unneccesary.
