I have been a fan of her for 2-3 years now , which started during the Secret era . I was getting very bored with Eng music & my younger sister suggested to me to try jpop because she has been listening to it for a very long time , like about 8 years now
I was so lost initally . I didn't know who should I listen because Eng & Japanese music are so different if you know what I mean & I started initally with the more well known female solo artistes & naturally ayumi was the very 1st jpop artiste I listened to
Secret was the 1st album I listened/bought of her . Song wise , it was About You (I heard Dearest before but I didn't know it was her back then lol) while for PV wise , it was BLUE BIRD
I joined AHS last year on my 21st birthday & I have to say I didn't regret doing so & let alone decide to cross over to pursue/listen to jpop music full time .
I'm sure in many ways or another , everyone has been inspired by her be it musically or not . I sure have & it looks like I'm not going anywhere for that matter
