I don't think my friends really care 'bout Ayu that much anymore .. but last year when 1st year Japanese started, they were dying to listen to new 'stuff,' because they were 'sick' of Utada Hikaru and DAI. They still like 'em, but they want new stuff
.. However .. my friends still like it when I send 'em some of Ayu's Mp3's. A friend favorite is "Memorial Address."
It's fate
