YAY! My two favorite artists placed in the top 5, Utada at number 2, and Arashi at number 4! I think both are incredibly amazing and deserve it 100%!

Arashi worked hard for their position this year. Utada on the other hand... well, releasing remixes, old songs and album in language most japanese don't understand works good for her:P |

A lot of people as saying how surprized they are that Arashi isn't number 1 seeing as how they always top the charts. Even their new single made it to number 1 last week, so I've gotta say I'm surprized as well. But I'm glad Utada placed as well as she did considering she didn't do much Japanese work this year. And for anyone looking for the Oricon favorite artist of the year 2009 chart in english, please go here. http://community.livejournal.com/aramatheydidnt/392999.html |

Glad to hear that. I think she did pretty well and many of her fans still appreciate and treasure her music. 2nd place is really good considering the fact that the first in place is a band.
Ayumi is not on the list? I'm surprised, lol. |

Wow! Go, Hikki!! I'm also surprised Ayumi isn't on it; didn't she release at least a single this year, if not an album? Weee-ird!

Ayumi's popularity seems to be waning considerably in Japan over the last 2-3 years. Check out these sales numbers from each artists' previous releases: Album sales (source: Wikipedia) Ayu 2009: Next Level 377,872 Utada 2008: Heart Station 1,007,965 Namie 2008: Best Fiction 1,538,290 Aiko 2008: Himitsu 460,569 Even Aiko is outselling Ayu. I wonder why the sudden decline in sales for Ayu. |
