What a past with Ayu..

The first song of Ayu's I heard was "M (Above & Beyond Mix)" I'm a huge DDR fan, even bigger back then, and I found this song as a DWI file. (DWI - Dance with Intensity... DDR using the keyboard arrows to "dance") Anyways.. I went on my vaction to Vietnam and made a CD with DWI songs I had. I reluctantly put M on there. And ironically, I fell in love with the song. And when I cam back.. I DLed as many Ayu songs I could find. That's where I found "evolution" and things started to go from 2 songs from Ayu to almost all her songs..

I decided to look up some stuff online about Ayu and I found sites with her pictures. I thought she was an attractive woman. So I found more pics... but then I started to wonder what her songs were about. That's when I started to read some of her lyrics. When I first read the lyrics to M.. I almost cried. The last line got me the most. I couldn't believe such words were sung so beautifully. I always appriciated another poet's work. And I adored Ayu's.

And everything.. sort of lead up to now. I still adore Ayumi's lyrics and I like the changes I see in her. In her words. She's matured as a poet. And that's beautiful. She maybe hidden behind a "cutesy image" but she's matured. I can see and I can feel it.

I suppose taking her seriously to that extent might me a bit too far. But to each they're own. I think of her as another human being on this planet. She is here just like the rest of us. And she's using her power to spread her thoughts, her mind, and her heart to the world. We all do that. But on much small amounts. So if you take Ayu seriously to that extent.. it'd be safe to take people that seriously too. Or else.. you might just have too high of expectations of people and that way.. you'll be let down. And being let down too much, needless to say, is a bad thing.

I'm just throwning my two cents into it. Sorry if it was not my place or if I overstepped some lines.
