Well, it's hard to answer... People outside of Japan seem to categorise all Japanese music into one genre called "J-POP". But there are many different types of artists in Japan. BoA is popular because of her dancing and singing. Ayumi Hamasaki is popular for the way she dresses. Utada is popular for her song-writing. It's hard or almost impossible to name who the most popular artist is. As far as I'm concerned, I cannot see the point in comparing Utada and Ayumi Hamasaki. Their fanbase is obviously very different in Japan because they do totally different things. The things that they have in common are... I don't know... They are both very popular and they debuted about the same time. What I can say, and what the most Japanese people can agree upon about Utada is that she is one of the greatest singer-songwriters in the Japanese music history. Her Japanese songs are really poetic. The selection of words that she uses and the way she rhymes are really unique and interesting. |
