Do you remember your first impression of Ayu?

[Chibi_Venus]

The first time I ever heard her was from Inuyasha ("Dearest"). She never "stood out" to me to make me think, "Whoa! Unique singer!"

When I realized she sang "no more words," "evolution," and "Free & Easy," I thought, "Hey, she's not bad..."

Then her English lyrics in her RAINBOW album stood out a little more to me.

My love for her gradually increased. I dunno, I feel like I never had a first impression of her.
