I'm a big fan. I don't know how else to describe it. :D I don't really follow anyone else in the music industry like I do with Ayu.

I love ayu a lot and she's certainly my most favorite artists and my most listened one, I don't listen only to her, most of the time I listen to some artist but sometimes I ahve ayu moods or I want to listen/watch to a certain album/DVD so I will watch it to the full (because I enjoy it). When I only got to know her I listened only to her 3 months but then I got back to listen to her and other artists, I guess I'm 50% obsessed, not one of the ayu is the best, perfect, whatever shizzes but I certainly hyped for everything she does and love most of the things she did to date and a proud fan already 4 years and a half. When I really and honestly won't like something she does I will have no shame to admit it.

same here...

i'm a much casual listen to ayu recent years but i'm stopped looking forward for her new releases anymore... i never get to like her new songs e.g (talking 2 myself, fated) until i dled her album and somehow i like them quite a bit...

but i listened to BoA and YUI over and over again until i forget about ayumi's GUILTY being in my mp3 player :P :P

I would say that I am a very loyal, devoted fan. Have been for 8 years. :D

she is the best for me...
but yea, and yea, its hard for me to put in words as well how i feel

even though she may have simialr material these days yet its what attracted me to her..after MY STORY...so yea, gd gd

highly devoted and obsessed...with her from the beginning and Ayu is my life lol sad, i know :p

well i feel proud to be a fans of her...
because she's so special

I couldn't have said it better myself XD!!!!!!!!!!

kind of a devoted fan of her for 9 years...listen to her songs pretty often everyday....lol

Oh.. Strangely, ever in my life, I hardly dreamed of Ayu. Except that I dreamed I'm holding a cd of her..{which literally in my dreams only}

My devotion to Ayu haven't change and will not ever change until the day I die. Hmmm...(My cousin told me that I shouldn't tell that.) But I prefer her trend much on 2000-2002. Much glamour of Ayu decreases me..however.

I don't know. But yesterday I watched one of her concerts and I started to cry. Not because the concert was sad or anything. I guess it's what you call an effect.

I'd like Ayu to be my friend. She'd make the best friend ever.

I've been a fan for 3 years now. I'd say I'm quite loyal. Even though I don't usually buy her singles or remixes, I make it a point to have every studio album and I listen to her songs a lot. She's the only Jpop artiste I really listen to, except for the occasional Utada and Namie.

Even if, as some of you have pointed out, her music isn't as unique as it used to be, I still love it. There's a kind of Ayu quality that's very personal, and it's not only the lyrics. I don't like certain songs much, but I still can enjoy them if I'm in the mood.

Also, I like to listen to Ayu when I'm studying :D It gives me a sense of support. She's so sincere about her music and puts so much effort into her work, it gives me motivation and helps me to not feel nervous for upcoming tests and such.

Oh, and not to forget her fashion! I guess she's taught me to like girly things a little more and has opened up my mind on dressing. Her clothes nowadays are stuff that we folks can't really wear, but it still inspires me.

I'm not obsessed anymore, not like I once was. I haven't really liked Ayu's singles over the past couple of years, and more prefer her albums. I have her in my playlist, but when I get bored I remove things and add other artists, depending on how I feel. I haven't been buying as much of her stuff recently, I stopped getting singles because I didn't like them, and I haven't got a concert DVD since the MY STORY one. I'm just keeping the little money I get for things I like instead. Maybe I'm just becoming more relaxed as a fan and not so intense right now.

lol.
i think i'm okay okay with ayu, not really obsesses with her .. yet?!
;/

I think I am an extremely devoted fan. I've been following Ayu for nine years. I was introduced to her by my cousin around the time her Love ~Destiny~ single was released. At this point in my life I can honestly say I "grew up" with Ayu. She is an extremely important part of my life and somebody I could never let go off. I love her hehe :)

I also consider myself a devoted fan. Even though I have only been into her music for 2 years or so. THe first thing that come into my mind when someone ask me "Who is your favorite singer?" Of course its Ayumi. Her music is so motivating and touching ^^ I guess you can say i'm a little obssesed too, since I alway listen to her music and her music fills up most of my i-Pod. I really look up to her not only as an artist ,but as a person too.

Ayu empties my wallet.... :( but i love it! :)

99% listen to her song and makes me addcited to japan culture and everything about japan

i've been ayu's fan since a year, but i think it's imposible to change my obsession ^^
i will be an obsessed fan during my whole life, cause it would be difficult to forget all those feelings her music has brought me ^^

hahaha exactly!!
i even had a quarell with my mom to buy ayu's CD
and she said its wasting money...

yaya exactly...
since i know ayu, i know namie, hitomi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and many of J-pop culture
