    Ahhh... good'ol Ayu. She was the first jpop artist I got into, back in the Evolution days. Man, that seems like such a long time ago. Her image has changed quite a bit since then!

    Ayu was one of the first j-pop artists I liked.
    The first song of hers I heard was Evolution.. love at first listen ;)
    Still like her songs, and also have a lot of her albums.. but I'm not that "Obsessed" anymore.

    I only listen to Ayumi's music from time to time, so I'm not that big of a fan, but she's such a sweet person that I can't help but like her anyway. XD

    What attracts me to Ayu is her style. She've tried tons and millions of them! Doll, fairy, leopard, wild, sweet, glamour... she seems to fit all styles! Of course the second thing is her PVs. They are always going with themes and are colourful and appealing!

    I like her songs too! But I enjoy watching her PVs and concerts more.

    Also, by watching her PV makings, we can see how CUTE Ayu is!!!

    Yeah, me too.

    A lot of people think she's a stuck-up diva all the time, but that's actualy not true. Sure, she has her 'diva' moments, but really...what big celebrity doesn't have them from time to time? Many fans say she's actually very nice and really appreciate her fans, because she knows they're the ones supporting her.

    I'm not a fan, though I do listen to her stuff now and then.

    I have a classmate who is CRAZY about Hamasaki. He can't even stand the slightest criticism about her. o_O;;

    When you compare the live version of her new songs with the CD version, there is a big gap.

    She's the first JPop artist I got into, kinda hard to miss her on the JPop world I guess..

    First song I heard was the Euro Mega-Mix 'Y&Co. Mix' from her LOVEPPears album (disc 2).
    Kinda weird that I got hooked to that, but then again, we are talking years back from now.

    Kinda interesting.
    She's the reason why I got into the entire JP / nihongo / Dorama / etc thing as well..
    So guess I'm spamming here because of her silly songs. yay!

    Credits to Ayu, who's voice is high and pitchy at times, forgets her lyrics and had more facejobs than Cher! :D

    ^True

    But I also like "I am ..." a lot, but that's maybe because it has "Evolution" the first Ayu song I ever heard. (and I love that song)

    Very true. Next would be "I am...", because it has "evolution" in it. That song's instantly seeped into my mind :)
