My story is a little strange, because I started being a very fan of Ayu 3 years ago, but I listened to her for the first time like 7 or 8 years ago, I don't remember. It was with "Dearest" and "No more words".
Since I was 10 or something like that, I used to like manga a lot. One of my favourite animes was Inuyasha, so I was listening to the ending, Dearest, every single day. Of course I didn't know who Ayumi Hamasaki was. When the movie of Inuyasha came out, I bought a manga magazine that came with a CD. That CD had the song "No more words" from the movie, and since then that was one of my favourite songs, I was playing it on my mp3 all the time, so even if I didn't listen to more music of her, I knew that "Ayumi Hamasaki" was the singer for that song. I think it was then when my subconscious started really to be an Ayumi Hamasaki fan xDD
But it was a few years after, when I saw the movie "Shinobi ~Heart under blade~", when I really started to listen to all ayu's music. The ending song, HEAVEN, made me fall in love with her. HEAVEN is my favourite song all over, and it was HEAVEN who made me download more music of her, and lately, buy it.
And from other songs of her... I must say that Who... has been the song that made me cry the most. When I first saw AT08, when she sung the song in chinese, and all that people crying... it moved me a lot. The same night I watched AT08 for the first time I watched also Dome Tour, and when she sung Who at the end, crying that way... that night I couldn't stop crying while listening to the song. Who does mean a lot for me.
And the last one is Daybreak HAL's mix. When I started listening to Ayu's music, I haven't download all the albums and of course I didn't know all her songs, but I don't know why somehow I watched the PV of daybreak, with english subtitles...
The minimalistic arrangement at the beggining of the song and the atmosphere on the pv really moved me. The fact that the pv was shooted without interruptions, and that she was really showing her feelings on the acting.. made me tear.
