Me too. I downloaded some more songs out of curiosity. Eventually I heard evolution and that got me more interested. I believe I was hooked when I first heard Daybreak (album ver.), and really loved the rock-ish theme on "I am..." That was in about 2003. First Ayu CD I bought was early 2004, after Memorial address came out.
I will say, I didn't get crazy into Ayu until sometime last year. I've always liked her a lot, and I casually followed her releases when I thought of it, but she didn't become my favorite artist until not too long ago. My Last.fm plays jumped from 400-something to 3000-something really fast and have been continuing like that ever since.
