Don't you think ayu is overexposing herself? I mean, It's cool for us to see all those CMs, TV shows, and have lots of stuff released by her. But I'm afraid that could have also negative influence over her image. Some people may be just getting sick of Ayu and her thousand of stuff to sell. Plus, what wataru said about Ayu mainly becoming a commercial idol (which I don't blame her) may be getting some people sick of her also. While hikki, she hasn't even half the number of singles Ayu released, Hikki doesn't appear on TV shows or CMs as much as Ayu does, and her latest songs haven't all been the best stuff to listen if compared to Ayu's but she's got the throne now....Odd ne?

yes i agree with impact. Over exposure is bad.

I kind of agree w/Impact.. too much of 1 thing is not good...
maybe ayu wants to get as much work done so later she could have a vacation or something?
With how hard Ayu is working these days, i think she definity deserve one!

I'm surprised the over-exposure lasted as long as it did. What really is the true benefit of being in tons of commercials? Sure it can boost sales for the company and possibly for the song you're promoting, yet it doesn't pay off in the long run. It's like "Ooooh, if it's something Ayu uses then I'll use it too!" but all that does is make Ayu into the perfect image and it becomes too common after a while. In fact, I think Ayu would have been much better off without the commercials except for the ones done during the LOVEppears era. Those really helped her to become greater known but today the familiarness is there so there is no real point in continuing with them. I think she should go ahead and give up the "Commercialized Ayu" and focus more on the "Musical Ayu."

YEAAHHAHAH!!!! Hikki won!!! but ayumi...it's okay. since she got most of the awards. it's time to let hikki get some. and DEEP RIVER is goood!!!!! i know many of you here doesn't like Hikki that much but she does have potential...

Hikki isn't overexposed like Ayu is. So much of her stuff comes out so fast, that you don't really have enough time to appreciate what you have because you have to move on to something else so soon. Hikki's slower sales make her more desirable because you can savor her longer. Besides, Ayu's been around for several years now, and it's only natural that others would eventually come and take her place. We should just be happy she won 3 years in a row. What an accomplishment!
