I was listening to an online Jpop radio station when Ayu's independent came on...i made a note to myself to check out that song since it was rather catchy. At the same time, the name "Ayumi Hamasaki" seemed rather familiar, like a big artist. But when i heard the whole song of Independent, i was turned off by her voice...then slowly at different sites, i saw bit by bit some of her songs, but it took me a long time to get into her stuff...i really liked Real Me though. However, i also read some articles and interviews on her, and totally disagreed with her perspective; she didn't seem like a good role model to me. Then after a long time, i got bored from some Jpop songs and decided to download some Ayumi songs. Soon enough, i became a big fan!!
By the way, now i totally agree w/ her on some things...she did have a rough life before getting in the music industry...probably what makes her such an outstanding artist because she knows the hardships of life and conveys it through her songs...
