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

[orangeland]

a friend recommended "Fly high" back around 2000~2001, and then i saw ayu on MTV China during my Shanghai trip in 2002. afterwards i picked up my first ayu cd at narita airport (Free & Easy) and from then on i was hooked

[LacusClyne]

back in 2001, i wanted to commit suicide. so before planning to jump off a building, i decide to spend all my money away on stuff that i don't really plan to spend on. then A-Best just come out, and the adverstisement was very strong, so i decided to grab that cd too(i knew her throught the cms when LOVEppears come out, but i think nothing of her), just for the sake of trying.
the first track 'a song for xx' got my attention. she's not the best singer, but the emotions she had in her songs touched me and the lyrics gave me the courage to live. and i like the other songs in the album too.

i always find myself listening to ayu whenever i'm troubled. she always manage to calm me down and make me feel better.
if not for 'a song for xx', if not for ayu. i'm already dead.

I heard this story from you in another thread. I'm not sure if I said anything, but I really like it. There was a time where Ayu's words really saved me too. They still do. ^^


I came in I am... era. My first songs -- evolution, Naturally, and still alone -- came off some P2P program that hasn't existed in years. Ayu was a random download; I didn't know anything about her. Except for a small period during the Rainbow-era, I've liked her ever since.

depend on you...and then monochrome

[Kodayumi]

STEP you, i found out in the advertisements. This gorgeous tune hooked me up to become a Ayu fan. And im proud of it.

[truehappiness]

My first Ayu songs ever were like teddy bear or For my Dear..

I think they came "together", since I listened to them both at around the same time..

And from there, a love for Ayu was born.

[~X2RADialbomber~]

Definately appears + STEP you

[minna]

It was two years ago (in the time of step you/Is this LOVE?)
but the first song that I heard was Real Me

after that I became and addicted Ayu fan ^^

[elepop]

SEASONS and evolution.

I remember finding her really pretty. I was always on this blog hamazaki.net and the girl's layout was always Ayu. I download a bunch of her songs but SEASONS and evolution stood out the most and made me a fan!

[capsule]

Well, I already heard about her for some years but I wasn't into Japanese Music at that time. But one day, I watch No way to say video on my television and I was captivated by the music and her voice. I can still remember it well. The composition was so sad and melodious, just the type of song I had been looking for during back then. No way to say has become one my favourite Ayu/Japanese songs and that song made me find a new love for music. And that is Japanese Music. I'm into Japanese Music that I rarely listen to English songs or other languages. But that doesn't mean I'm not updating myself with new English songs everyday. It's just I'm not into it as much as before. No way to say was a huge impact. It change my music taste for the rest of my life.

Same here. Evolution had just been released when one day I randomly downloaded it from an mp3 rotation site. I was hooked in no time. I still remember the site even today

[MemorialAddress]

and then
It was the first Ayu song I ever heard
It was back in the summer of 2002
I fell in love after I heard it

[milky_way]

Either Dearest or SEASONS. Probably Dearest because of Inuyasha and then I went to find more of Ayu's music and I found SEASONS which is one of my favorite Ayu songs.

[haruki]

Rainbow... but i knw her during her Duty era (dun like her tat time coz of the leopard outfit)...

YJ... i m a malaysian too and i think its not so true that JPOP is not a big thing here... =D

[Boeing787]

I have to say Depends on you got me into Ayumi's music and that is when I started listening more of her songs and she became my number 1 since.

In my heart, she's not only the Queen of J pop but also the Queen of International music.

end of the year in 2003

[starr5245]
