[News] Ayumi Hamasaki as "The Supernova Of Asian Entertainment"

Ayumi Hamasaki as "The Supernova Of Asian Entertainment"

Asian Media refers to Ayumi Hamasaki as "The Supernova Of Asian Entertainment". Reason for this is her absolute knockout against competitors in revenue so far in 2009. The information is taken from the news agent Sina.com and ent-163.com

Continuing this trend, it is likely that Ayumi again scoop the place of most serving female artist in 2009, and the person with the highest income. If so, will she top this position for the third year in a row. Both in 2007 and 2008, she was voted the female artist in Japan with the highest income from the album and DVD sales. She also topped the list in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. Only off Koda Kumi under the peak of her career in 2005 and 2006.

After the subsequent invasion of Asia in 2007, she was again crowned the "Highest grossing female artist of the year", a position it looks like she will make in 2009. Note that there are only Ayumi Hamasaki and Koda Kumi as solo artists on the list, the rest are either the band or duo's.

Everyone in Osaka, Reaction King*!!!!!!! lol
Wasn't it fun?-----∈^0^∋ o/~
From the very beginning, nothing could hamper your energy.
You guys gave off so much power! (*^_^*)
All of us who were there, we each did our absolute best to deliver you
an endless dream, and we enjoyed it immensely.
Let's go, day 2------------------!! (^_-)-*



note from Deli:*REACTION-Oh is an improv game done on some japanese TV shows where contestants are given a certain scenario to act out, for example, "Your reaction when the water in the shower turns suddenly freezing
cold." Whoever does the best job acting out their "Reaction" scenario wins. Not sure why Ayu made the reference to it though, since I wasn't at the Osaka show.
