- - Which Ayu song that attracted you into becoming a fan in the first place ? (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56938)

evolution. But I also listened to Still Alone and I wanted more =]

the songs on RAINBOW. Mostly Free & Easy and Over. I loved those so much, I listened more and more and ended up liking more songs from that album.

The 'I am...' album, i forgot which song exactly, but it should be evolution. Damn she looks sooo cute in the PV!

Daybreak HAL version

Well, my first Ayu songs were Boys & Girls and POWDER SNOW 'Acoustic Orchestra Version'.
At first I liked Boys & Girls, but when I heard POWDER SNOW I was shocked.
I thought it couldn't be possilbe that a human being has a so high voice.

After a few months I tried it again and I downloaded every song I could get from Ayu.
I think it was Because of You which attracted me to become a fan of Ayu in the first place. ^___^

Two songs at once, first Voyage sung by one of the Mini Moni girls (Kago?) and then Rainbow in the ending credits in the same Ayu Ready episode :)

i think startin'. lol i don't really remember.

M (Above & Beyond Typhoon Dub)

Well, it happened really weird: A friend of mine send me the (youtube)like to Ayu's PV: RAINBOW (1st song I ever heard) and I thought: wow- she has a good singing voice! So I started to search for more of her songs and this where the songs why I became a fan:

RAINBOW
ANGEL'S SONG
Fairyland
Depend on You

:P

the album "(miss)understood" ^_^ ... more specifically ... "alterna"

Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, my first one was SURREAL, I madly fell in love for that song. After that I heard evolution and a ballad that I can't remember which was it. It was around the time she released &

the first song i heard was "Bold & Delicious"... but i
actually started listening to her because i read that
she was the "Queen of J-Pop" !!

i kind of "learned" to like her... but i really really like her now!!

Im not sure if there is a discussion on this topic b4....im new here, juz discovered this wonderful forum !

I am a late fan, where I only started listening to ayumi during her (miss) understood era. Being a chinese malaysian, not much ppl here are into JPop and i dont understand a single word of japanese. I used to listen to chinese songs like jay n david tao etc. One day thou, i feel very bored with my current playlist and decided to listen to jpop. So i downloaded miss understood, which was ayu's latest album at that time. AFter the first track, Bold and Delicious, i was like...ohh no....jpop is not for me.
but after reading many great reviews on her album n concerts, on one boring night i went to you tube to watch some of her live performance. it was truly a memorable night indeed.

A Song for XX during Dome Tour.....this is the song that turn my life into an ayu fan. she sang with so much emotion...it send chills thru my spine...

after that, i listen to miss understood again, and begining to like it a lot.
I go on to buy the original CD of (miss) understood, followed by secret, and the recent A BEST 2 -black- and -white-.

i have been listening to ayu for like, 24/7 since the past 6 months...and i'm proud to say that i am familiar with all her songs now...

A song for xx is the song that attracted me into ayu.
wat about you ?

SEASONS

fairyland made me love her. *nods*

I hadn't really been any kind of JPop fan, but then I seen InuYasha and her voice really attracted me to her. I downloaded some of her songs until my computer crashed, and I enjoyed them alot. I like Independent alot. Then when I got a new computer, I downloaded all of her discography, and she completely blew me away.

I loved No More Words, I cried when I first heard it lol. I started watching her performances and everything, they were so great!!

I think A Song of XX was the first song that i fell in love from Ayu but I was then a die-hard fan of Ayu when I heard Voyage.

BLUE BIRD - discovered it on itunes japan

The release of "fairyland" was when I first became interested in Ayu (before I was mainly a Hikki fan), but it wasn't until "Startin' " that I became obsessed. :]

No way to say has become one my favourite Ayu/Japanese songs and that song made me find a new love for music. And that is Japanese Music. I'm into Japanese Music that I rarely listen to English songs or other languages. But that doesn't mean I'm not updating myself with new English songs everyday. It's just I'm not into it as much as before. No way to say was a huge impact. It change my music taste for the rest of my life

OMG! That's exactly how I feel about Hikaru's Sakura Drops and jpop. (When I heard SD, I was like "this is it! This is what I've been wanting to hear!" I'm really into jpop and don't buy many english CDs, but I still like to keep up to date with what's going on and listen to the radio/watch music channels. (I might actually buy 2 english albums though *gasp*. There's 2 which have caught my eye)

Anyway the first Ayumi song that I heard and that got me into her was Rainbow. After hearing BoA's Winding Road, I really wanted to hear more great ballads and back then (2004), I wasn't into ballads at all. They were all "boring" and "filler" to me. So after seeing a few pics of Ayumi and noticing that A Ballads had a cool cover, I bought that without ever hearing Ayumi before. When I heard Rainbow, I thought this is the type of song I wanted to hear. Love the way it starts - the simple guitar strums, Ayu's gorgeous vocals...

EDIT: Just realised I already replied to this thread lol. This is a much better post anyway!
