I discovered Ayu in 2018. After researching her discography in Wikipedia, I started to have interest on her music. To know her music in a more abridged and summarized way, I searched on YouTube for her CMs. This is the first video I've watched from her. It helped me analyze how her music keeps growing on and on starting from her debut to the present time.

After watching the CM collection video, I listen to her music bit by bit. I started at her debut album A Song for XX, which up until now, it's still my favorite album overall. Then, I searched Ayu's appearance in variety shows. And one of them is Ayuready. I saw how she's very energetic, polite, and bubbly towards her guest in her show. My favorite episode was with Every Little Thing. And as of now, she's still my most favorite J-pop singer aside from other artists like Utada Hikaru, Namie Amuro, Seiko Matsuda, Akina Nakamori, Mr.Children, Glay, L'Arc~en~ciel, and Every Little Thing.
