I also think she is a most famous singer in Japan.
I have most of her CDs.
But I didn't know about her much.
So I'm glad to know her much more!!

I'm also big fan of her! But I didn't know that "first love" was not single CD at first. I know her songs are always wonderful!! I expect her to be a great singer forever.
