I've kinda been a fan for 3½ years now and the first song I heard was Because of you.
I found ayu bcos there are so many jrock fans in Finland soo everyone was
worshipping all cute japanese guys and then someone told me to never ever ever
listen to ayumi hamasaki bcos she sucks so much that my ears would explode.
so I had to go to my dear friend youtube and check out if she really is horrible
and I loooooved Because of you and GAME so much.
I didn't really join any ayu forum until 2007-2008 (ayumix, ayunite, AHN...)
it took me forever to find most of her songs since all the song tags were so
messed up so you never knew what was a remix and what was the original stuff and when you found a torrent or something it was dead.
I think I became this obsessed with ayu around 2007, before that she was just
a cool artist I really liked.
I bought my first ayu stuff when Mirrorcle World was released.
after that I've bought way too much ayu stuff
