I've spread Ayu love among my pupils ^^
 

I got some additional japanese lessons for 4th grade pupils (ten years old) in the school where I teach and today because we had to come to school on Saturday I thought that instead of a normal lesson I will have them listen to some japanese music. I brought A BEST 2 dvds and thought I will play only about three songs and then switch to some japanese dialogs but they totally fell for Ayu ^^

These are kids that usually like to make fun of everything so I was a bit afraid. I started with Inspire and they were laughing at Ayu's diabolic fingers but after it they immediately pointed to the next one in A BEST 2 White menu and I played Fairyland. Still laughing at first but after the start of the fire scenes they become more and more interested. I asked if they want sth scarier and played Ourselves (not the best choice for ten-year-old because of the lipstic guy licking Ayu poster whom I totally forgot :p). After that they asked me how many singers are in this band (because there was the black outfit Ayu and 'normal Ayu' in the car), I said that after the next one they will be even more confused because there are four different Ayu and so they watched Step You. As the next one, one of them pointed to Voyage. I said it's a peaceful song with a bit boring video but they wanted to see it so I played it and here they pwnd me. An absolute silence during the video, they were really absorbed. I also played Real me, My name's women (:tipsy), M, Alterna ('oh my god!!!!!!, she's got an eye in the mouth' :tipsy), part of Me, Game, Endless Sorrow and Connected.

They wanted to borrow my DVD's, haha, no way :p I said if they will learn japanese and pass my final test with at least B then I may record them some of her songs :] One of them said "A pity my mum doesn't listen to such music", "Ayu is really pretty" and "You really got me interested". Spread the Ayu love :D

Aww....what a nice story! Way to go! I got roommate into a little japanese music. I think she's only listened to one of Ayu's songs though. I've mostly forced her to listen to Hikki and like her and she really likes one of Namie's songs! LOL! Yes, indeed spread the Ayu love!

i should learn...or scan them for isaac to translate =3

way to go! I do the same thing.. I often use Ayu in my spinningclasses and bodybuildingclasses I teach. Mostly they don't recognize the japanese (they think it's some slavic language or even some weird dialect of french), but they've requested the songs and songtitles multiple times. Until that Day was a great spinninghit; and also the DJ-Amaya-mix of Not Yet, people loved that alot

It's a fanmade mix isn't it? I wonder when I can get his remixes, fated's was awesome!

Yeah!!! Spread more Ayu love!!!
