In my opinion there are several very important days for Ayumi's international fans. I think in regards to A World is One, the first is Ayumi's CNN interview. This was the moment we all realized that OMG Ayu can indeed speak in English!!! Before that, no one knew for sure if Ayu could seriously speak in English. Suddenly, there was a possibility that we would be able to actually communicate to Ayu!!!

A World is One came along after this, and I think would not have come along without the CNN intervier. AWIO is probably THE single most important even to international fans. This was the moment we said to Ayu, "We are here Ayu, and we love you!" Before, I really don't think Ayu knew how many fans she really had outside of Japan. Suddenly, she knew about us, suddenly we were legitimized! And then when Ayu got a Twitter account and used "a world is one" in her second tweet, it was amazing, because we all knew that Ayu had signed up for Twitter to be able to connect with fans all over the world.

So today is a good day to celebrate all of Ayu's fans coming together to show our love to her. Without A World is One, I think things would be very very much different right now!
