i remember checking out ayu's discography in 2005 for the first time iirc; and jpop was definitely still quite strange for me. the whole musical composition was something i had to get used to before i could properly enjoy it.
it definitely was *not* ayu's voice that won me over (too high pitched) i was just checking out the most famous person in music over there.
but her bizarrely profound lyrics came to me as a shock. a very positive shock mind you, i remember thinking "wait, you are the most famous popstar of japan; how is it possible to be so profound and deep with your writing at the same time??" how does she find the perfect words with such ease?
that sounded really corny, but these were my thoughts back then. it definitely messed with my idea of a pop princess; I'm not used to somebody famous in the mainstream realm to be dishing out such quality work in such a small amount of time.
