Hmm...

As I really think about the possibility of Ayu coming over to America, I start to dislike the idea more and more. =\

As much as we'd all love for Ayu to be recognized here, let's think realistically: would she honestly make it far in our music industry? If she did, it would probably take a REALLY long time. And not necessarily a certain amount of years, but the fans would really have to get used to her style. I just don't see her as an instant hit...

It's nice to dream, but if she's gonna make a move over here, it's gonna have to be timed perfectly. Ah, we can only wait and see what the future brings us I guess.

It would be nice if Ayu tried to make a move to the English speaking market. I would personally love it, as long as she has creative control over what she does. If she doesn't come over to the US market, at least perform some shows here! xD Hit up the big cities, LA, NYC, Las Vegas & Dallas. ^^ It would be nice to have at least that~

I hope that if she does come here to perform exclusively her Japanese stuff that she doesn't go to like anime conventions (

). Btw, did BoA and Utada try that road?

hikaricore · #**227** 17th July 2009, 05:03 AM

I think Ayumi would do TERRIBLY if she came to the US.
She's the QUEEN of J-POP for a reason. I think she shouldn't mess with a good thing and keep releasing in Japan! She's amazing the way she is, why tarnish that reputation?

SURREAL__RAINBOW · #**228** 17th July 2009, 05:33 AM

[Under several circumstances, its in fact the name «Ayumi Hamasaki» that have been mentioned and sought after, both during interviews and live presentations, to Utada's and BoA's frustration.]

I love that xD

Now that we know the source is pretty much crap though, I doubt that statement was true either.

Very much true. Utada was asked about Ayumi this year at the Sephrora event in NY (i was there), The radio host asked if she would want to collabarate with anybody and someone yelled Ayumi which led to excited cheers by the crowd, which led to a bit conversation about Ayumi. And back in 2004 during the Exodus era on a radio show (the clips on youtube) a listener called in to ask if she would bring Ayumi to the US too. BoA I can't say though i wouldn't be surprised.

waterballoon · #**233** 17th July 2009, 06:47 AM

But still, I appreciate Maxker a lot for talking about this... cos it's really, something serious imo and I can't believe how much I've been thinking about this lol~ Thank you Maxker

zyoeru · #**234** 17th July 2009, 09:12 AM

I think that an anime tie would be big, but it'd have to be the adaptation of a very famous manga or something. But I don't think it'd be necessarily degrading for Ayu for perform at an anime convention. Pssh. Nana Kitade did it and I respect her very much. Gackt also did it, as did Miyavi, Sugizo and Yoshiki when they did the S.K.I.N. gig.

But whatever, it's probably not true considering it came from a Chinese source. Also there's the annoying habit of ayu.no bringing in false info...

That's completely different though. The way this article makes it sound, is as if journalists and other members of the media were actually asking them about Ayumi. Its different if its just a fan yelling out Ayumi when Utada is asked who she wants to collaborate with.

chloeM · #**236** 17th July 2009, 03:45 PM

yay~ going international~

asmAyumi1992 · #**237** 18th July 2009, 07:55 AM

Internationally is better! I love that decision.

I'd be happy if she'll married soon

Ayu_Ready · #**238** 18th July 2009, 02:18 PM

I don't think she's going to international =/ I would be great but I don't see this in a near future OO

rakeru · #**239** 18th July 2009, 06:43 PM

of course it would be fun for us, the fans, but if Utada can't make it, Ayu doesn't stand much of a chance. yes, Ayu is waaaaay more interesting as far as style, videos, and personality (on and off screen) go, but Utada has no Japanese accent and plays according to the rules; she pipes out just the kind of commercialized nonsense that forms mainstream. Ayu's style just doesn't conform that way. she WOULD be much better at getting people's attention, though.

simply it is ridiculous is the queen of jpop understand
