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!
