Smile Ayu Beginner?

I tried to get into Ayumi a while back. I didn't like her. I couldn't stand her. Anyway last night I watched this video of her when she forgot the lyrics to Voyage. I couldn't hate her anymore she was sooooo cute .Today i got the song voyage and I love it. But I have no idea where to go from here. I need to know some song recommendations to begin my Ayu fandom. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hm..
Here's what I started with:

fly high
M
evolution
Real me

But.. more realistically.. you should probably listen to:
The entire "I Am.." album
The entire "RAINBOW" album

The rest of the albums are not really for beginners.. simply because your tastes might not be like AYU's in that time era.

Try "Ever Free", that was one of my first. I love that song still <3
and trust me, she'll grow on you. Soon you might be like all of us >_>
Edit: Also, I recommend the "Memorial Address" album.

Congrats! You've chosen the right path.
But, however, I dislike the song 'Voyage' There are way better songs from her...

are you looking for a particular style or albums?

I recommend her RAINBOW (since you like Voyage) and LOVEppears albums to begin with for best songs and style. I think I first fell in love with 'Duty' album, so check that out if you like.

If you're interested in singles..get her latest: heaven, step you/is this love?, and fairyland

Thanks for the welcome. I couldn't find one of those introduction boards so I didn't introduce myself.

I started with "TO BE" and i was hooked immediately. Then vogue, and that really sealed the deal.

According to that you love Voyage, I'm sure you'll be addicted to No way to say, HEAVEN, SEASONS, TO BE, Key, Who... and so on^^
and you'll then find out that each ayu's song is great!

I'd say to just start at the beginning with poker face, YOU, Trust, etc. Work your way up. You'll end up loving Ayu even more if you can hear how she's progressed and changed for the better over the years.
