Ayu and me... it's a long story!
It began in early 2005, I litterally fall in love with Step you. It was the first time I listened to a major artist like her and I found her so talented and also beautiful, inspiring.
At this time, there were a lot of fansites about her and I wanted mine too. I opened Ayu Paradise (it still exists as a facebook page now) and it lived for 8 years online.
Thanks to Ayu I learned and loved web development and web design. It is now my job. I believe she played a role in that because I wanted to create Ayu Paradise myself from A to Z and for many years I spent a lot of time learning and working on AP.
Then the dream became real when I met her... twice. First in 2010, she was shooting RnRC booklet (and recording the album too) and I went to London and waited, waited... And when she arrived, it was so surreal, I was like "Oh my god, she's here, she's real, I've got two autographs!!!" I cried a lot this day.
But the magical meeting was one year later, still in London. I talked to her, she took me in her arms and I have a picture with her. It is still unbelievable.
I saw her in Tokyo too, back in 2010 for Arena Tour Rock'n'Roll Circus. Ayu on stage is something, she is so fierce and beautiful, different from the Ayu I met in London.
Ayu is like a model, I respect her so much and love her so much. She helped me a lot in many ways. I'm proud to be a fan. Even if I don't enjoy her music like before today, I still pay so much attention at what she does. I always will.
