This is one of the best article about Ayu I have ever read.
Maybe because it's made out of the true feelings of a fan of her. And, most important, isn't biased nor harsh.
It's really interesting to see such different point of view. Especially from a japanese point of view, since we're (or most of us are) used to non-japanese jpop fandoms.
That was a really good reading.
Also, thanks a lot for the translation tsumekaze! You're the best
