Why not in Europe?

It's definetly getting better though. Especially after games like kingdom hearts I've heard lots of non jpop fans listening to Utada's music, right next to scissor sisters and Britney Spears (examples.. =P). Some of those ayu-remixes also gaine her some popularity, espcially the M remix and depend on you. The person "AYumi hamasaki" is not known though, and not idolized like f.ex kylie.
