Which Ayu song that attracted you into becoming a fan in the first place ?

Once upon a time, none of us know of ayu's existence.
It is when we listened to one of her hits that we become attracted, and then addicted to her.
Im not sure if there is a discussion on this topic b4....im new here, juz discovered this wonderful forum !

I am a late fan, where I only started listening to ayumi during her (miss) understood era. Being a chinese malaysian, not much ppl here are into JPop and i dont understand a single word of japanese. I used to listen to chinese songs like jay n david tao etc. One day thou, i feel very bored with my current playlist and decided to listen to jpop. So i downloaded miss understood, which was ayu's latest album at that time. AFter the first track, Bold and Delicious, i was like...ohh no....jpop is not for me.
but after reading many great reviews on her album n concerts, on one boring night i went to you tube to watch some of her live performance. it was truly a memorable night indeed.

A Song for XX during Dome Tour.....this is the song that turn my life into an ayu fan. she sang with so much emotion...it send chills thru my spine...

after that, i listen to miss understood again, and begining to like it a lot.
I go on to buy the original CD of (miss) understood, followed by secret, and the recent A BEST 2 -black- and -white-.

i have been listening to ayu for like, 24/7 since the past 6 months...and i'm proud to say that i am familiar with all her songs now...

A song for xx is the song that attracted me into ayu.
wat about you ?

i was introduced to Ayu sometime two years ago, a friend sent me "Because of You" - I enjoyed the track but only listened to it casually. six months later, "fairyland" came out and the video was so fun and full of energy, so i decided to download some more. i then downloaded "evolution" which immediately became and obsession....and ive been hooked ever since.

I started liking her after noticing the A best commercial on TV. I got hooked by songs 'End Roll' and 'M'.

I not sure which song actually did it...but it was defintely the songs-with-PVs from the MY STORY album...(GAME,walking proud,Moments,CAROLS) these were the ones...

then i wasnt really into her but really loved MS (and i tot it was a BEST album coz of the title.so i bot it)

then came STEP you/is this LOVE? and still i wasnt hooked..but between that period and fairyland was the time i was hooked...and during THIS period..i bought her other albums...so i guess all of them contributed to this 'hook'..lol

i still remember the site where i downloaded her music for the first time, sadly that website does not exist anymore, but the first songs i heard from her were evolution and surreal and fly high.......surreal is what got me hooked, and i've been an obsessive fan since her memorial address era.......

thank you website.......that doesn't exist anymore.....i'll never forget you

Duty. when i saw her in that leopard outfit, i realise how much this singer can sacrifice for her own career. and i decided to support her.

I didn't know which artist it was at the moment (WinMx times XD) but this song swept me away instantly. It was like I had been looking for it all along without knowing what I was looking for. It sounded amazingly emotional both the vocals and arrangements, everything about it was perfect.

Later on songs like Fly High, Free & Easy and Boys & Girls "sealed the deal"

It wasn't just one song, becouse the absolutely first Ayu-thing I heard/saw, I believe it was the AyuMiX II commercial, but the song I liked the most in it was Fly High remix. I took me few years to finally put my hands on it though.

for me it was Dearest. I found out about her from Inuyasha. After that one, I got hooked.

I heard evolution but thought she looked weird back then .. then during her Rainbow era I accidentally d/l her "Real Me" MV and instantly fell in love with her ever since ...

i hate it back then when those winmx users will name the video to something else .. that's how I got her MV accidentally hahah
