U guy's don't understand anything about the cutural barriers Japanese music hasn't gotten over to the US well she is the only one i really know that is trying to break the cultural barriers. she is trying to tell people in the US here if you listen closely to her music you'll listen to some japanese tones. she's trying to tell people what japanese music is like. you are right her western album is much less that her japanese albums. but i think she could of done better it is just that she doesn't want to...
i think japanese music will become popular and it would all be because of the great HIKKI
