My professor doesn't know who Ayu is. ;___;
I gave a speech in my Japanese class today on Ayumi Hamasaki (hehe), and when I finished, my professor, who's Japanese herself, didn't know much about music and has not heard of Ayu!?! ;~;
It made me so sad... Maybe she was busy here in America when Ayu came around... Sigh. Q_Q So, uh, anyone ever run into a Japanese person that doesn't know who Ayu is? xD I mean, I'm sure there's some, but I thought my professor would know... D; Edit: Oh balls, I made a typo in the title of the thread. Dx Last edited by Mirrorcle; 9th October 2009 at 01:42 AM.

That is weird, hah. Was she born in Japan? And if so, has she been living in the US for about a decade now, at least? If not....that's really weird, lol. You have to have at least heard the name Ayumi Hamasaki before. >_<

lol the Japanese professeur at my old university didn't know who Ayu was either. And she was born in Japan.
And then they liked to watch anime in the Japan club, and the professeur didn't know any of the anime either lol My other Japanese friend knew of her...but uh...kinda in the way people know of just popular people I guess. She said she'd heard of her, but had never heard anything actually by her. Most of my Korean friends know who she is though lol

@Crystal - I think so, I mean, I know her family lives there... And I think if she were born here, she'd be perfect at English (although her English is probably the best I've witnessed from a Japanese person).
@fantasma - Really? I guess I just wrongly assumed that Ayu was popular to the extreme at some point or another. ;.; @emiko - xD Maybe it's a professor thing, lol. My high school Japanese teacher was also Japanese and knew plenty about Ayu!

It's probably just because they're living in the US, then. :\

I have run into some older Japanese that don't know her. Not knowing her though is pretty rare for a Japanese, even if they have been living in America.

I noticed that many japanese living abroad have a sort of refuse of everything concerns japanese culture and lifestyle..
a japanese girl who owns a bar in my city and is 25 years old living just from 1 year in taly knows Ayu approsimatively and doesn't like to talk about her so much.

Well that sometimes happened. This year, in 2009, some singer died. Supposively he was famous. But I think they're just that saying that. His name was.. Michael ....something... Well I don't know. I doubt he's famous anyway. Maybe just some people know him

All my japanese teachers knew about ayu.
But they don't like her. LOL jealous bishes I swear. Other than that, there would be few ppl who like ayu in any japanese class, I bet most of them are anime/manga fans. But I know most will dislike ayu. Haha jealous bishes again!

That's not so strange if she's not into music...maybe she heard her name a few times but living outside of Japan and in the US I guess it's pretty easy to have not heard of her. I didn't hear about Lady Gaga til about June this year! o_O

Not sure about my current sensei though[she's born in japan].

My sensei knows Ayu. He's definitely not a fan, but he's too nice to say anything bad I think, especially when I said she's my favorite artist.
My Chinese teacher knows her too, by her Mandarin name. I don't think she knows much about her though, she just said, "she looks like a doll."

xD My professor doesn't seem like the type to show a lot of dislike for anything, but she will tell us when she doesn't have much of an interest for something, lol. x3 I hope she wouldn't hate Ayu if she knew about her. ;.;
