Ayu Survey!!

[Echoed_Memories]

I didn't know where exactly this post belongs in, so I stuck in the Ayu Chat-Room thread. If this needs to be moved, that's fine!

Okay, these questions aren't mine; I got them from LiveJournal user schwaltz. But just wondering:

1. What was the first Ayu song you ever heard?
2. What was the first Ayu CD/single you've ever purchased (If you have)
3. Do you ever find yourself singing some Ayu songs in the shower/cleaning/etc., even if you can't sing them properly? If so, what songs?
4. What was the last Ayu CD/single you purchased?

My answers:

1. I think it was Memorial address (take 2 version), but it also could have been A Song for XX
2. fairyland
3. I usually think of her songs during Algebra class for some odd reason. I find myself humming songs like rainy day, RAINBOW, UNITE!, Dearest, and Moments
4. (miss)understood. I'm torn on buying either Memorial address, I am..., or RAINBOW next

4 i got both versions of (miss)understood 4 christmas... gettin Startin'/Born to be... for my birthday

[greggerz189]

1. poker face
2. I didn't get into the habit of buying Ayu's singles until I got older--my parents weren't too keen about me spending that much money back in the day...the first Ayu single I bought was "Endless sorrow" b/c I absolutely adored the cover and the song. I only bought the albums back then. My first Ayu album was "A Song for XX"!!! Even though most people didn't like that album very much compared to her others, I bought it because her songs meant a lot (still mean a lot) to me then, and her lyrics helped me get through some tough times. That album is really special to me.
3. I find myself humming Ayu songs all the time. Usually when I'm walking anywhere. I usually sing Pride, Startin', HEAVEN, A Song for XX, POWDER SNOW, Who..., teddy bear, SURREAL, SEASONS, M, Endless sorrow, evolution, RAINBOW, Moments, INSPIRE, No way to say, Humming 7/4, and fairyland.
4. Last Ayu purchase: (miss)understood "on my way" c/w (miss)understood "off my day". I plan on buying BOTH versions of Startin'/Born to be...

The first item I bought was the Stadium Tour 2002, and then I bought the "M"-single,
3. Do you ever find yourself singing some Ayu songs in the shower/cleaning/etc., even if you can't sing them properly? If so, what songs?
Sure; but I can sing them properly. I often hum the most recent songs (of which later on I'll of course remember the lyrics) and I find myself singing "Fly High (the rap parts)", "alterna", "is this LOVE?" and "kanariya". Oh and even "Love ~destiny~" is sing alot but I don't really like it guess it's just an easy-to-sing-song xD
