A Research Paper on Ayu

[LydenLeaf]

Hello everyone and hello fellow Ayu fans! I'm currently a third year psychology student and my teacher gave me and my classmates an assignment to work on during the weekend. She told us specifically to research about someone who is an idol to us, someone who inspires us so much, and someone we look up to and try to figure out how that person presents his/herself to the world. It's more like a research on an idol's behavior.

Well..Ayu was the only person who came to mind so I thought about giving it a try. There are only about two other students I know who know Ayu too but I doubt they listen to her since they're more into Korean pop music. I know it'll be kind of awkward introducing Ayu to my classmates and teacher but I'm really determined to do a research paper on her since she's definitely someone I look up to and there are just so many reasons why I love her.

I've already done some research on her background and her pre-avex career but I think I need the thoughts of other fans as well. If it's okay, I'd like to ask a few questions.

1.) How long have you been a fan of Ayu? In how many ways has this musician/artist changed your life?
2.) Do you find yourself inspired/influenced by her? If so, can you name some instances?
3.) What can you say about her fashion tastes and music style(s)?
4.) What do you love the most about Ayu?
5.) How do you think Ayu presents herself to the world? Do you think she has an "edge" over others (who are in the same industry as hers)?
6.) Have you ever talked with Ayu? How was she like?
7.) Can you describe what her music is like?
8.) What kind of personality do you think she has? (Is she warm, friendly, etc.)
9.) What can you say about the people she works with? (The photographer, director, etc.)
10.) If you've been a fan of hers for more than two years now, do you believe that there has been a change in her personality in some ways over the past years of her career?
11.) Lastly, can you name some of your favorite songs by Ayu?

I guess that's it then. I think I need additional informational too so if there's anything related to Ayu that you want to share, feel free to add it here. I'd also love any simple trivia tidbit. Thank you very much everyone!

I'll be using your answers as related literature for my project and I'll definitely give due credit to everyone who has been a part of this.Thank you very much in advance for the help, contribution, and your time!

I've been a loyal fan of the empress of J-Pop music for over 4 years now and I'm not afraid to tell the world how much she means to me even if academics is involved. It'll be the first time too that my classmates and teacher(s) will hear of my music interests so I'm giving this my all.
