I must admit, I haven't been a fan for that long, sadly... Only since 2006... But when I did become a fan, I was entirely new to J-pop and Japan itself... I was very confused...I didn't understand why I liked her music so much when I couldn't understand a word of it... But my friend and I slowly began to like Japan more and more, so we really became hardcore fans after about a month XD
At first, it was so very hard to look up pictures because I kept forgetting her name XD And when I did find pictures, it was very fun for me, because I'm really into drawing

Later, I started to really appreciate her lyrics and really understand the feeling behind them...
And now...
I am 100% an Ayu fan
Wow, I must seem pretty pathetic to all of you who have known her for much longer...But I'll continue to support her~~~
