Prose issues and a few MoS-related errors tripped up the last two candidacies, so I had someone streamline the prose. Other issues included the reliability of some sources and the number of fair-use music samples, but I believe these have been cleared up. Ink Runner ( talk) 21:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Oricon and RIAJ are solid; Avexnet is from her label and hosts her website; Sponichi Annex is part of a major Japanese newspaper; Cawaii is a teen fashion magazine, Vivi is another one. Beatfreak is the Japanese version of an American teen magazine. rockin'on japan is a J-Rock magazine, likely simlar for J-Point, Casa Brutus, Girlpop, and Sweet. barks.jp website uncertain.
Checking one for accuracy. "Oricon has repeatedly named her the 'Most Fashionable Female Artist'." The source says that she is the ベストジーニスト賞 or Best Jeanist; could be some hyperbole.
Hamasaki's debut album under Avex, A Song for XX (1999), was "unassuming": [1] its singles—" Poker Face", " You", " Trust", " Depend on You", and " For My Dear..." (all 1998)—were not major hits; [2] the tracks, composed by Yasuhiko Hoshino, Akio Togashi (of Da Pump), and Mitsuru Igarashi (of Every Little Thing), were "cautious" pop-rock songs. [2] [1]
Some rewording might help avoid all the punctuation. This is only a sample. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 23:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC) reply
