I agree with miniayumi, the answer is so obvious!

well i dont know about that. but i think the whole queen of jpop thing is more a fan affection rather than a media title. some people would beg to differ and say that namie, or koda are the queens of jpop, but it would be a personal opinion \ and nothing more.

EDIT: Can you imagine if Born To Be... was originall slated to have the lyrics "Born, to be Queen!" in stead of "Born, to be free!"?

well... there are a lot of newspapers that put up the title "Queen of J-Pop
Ayumi Hamasaki... ", and it's true that Namie's had that title too... but Koda?

I just love the progression of the triology and then the triple number ones of duty. ^_^ That this is what set her apart form others is also backed up by some documentaries, also she already had two number one albums, if the third one "failed", she would probalby had been labelled "any common popular aidoru". But she kept going.

JaysenRyan; I don't think it's just a fans' term, even timeasia labelled her the empress of japanese pop. I*m sure it must've been used in japanese media before that too.
