My professor doesn't know who Ayu is. ;___;

[Mirrorcle]

I gave a speech in my Japanese class today on Ayumi Hamasaki (hehe), and when I finished, my professor, who's Japanese herself, didn't know much about music and has not heard of Ayu!?! ;~;
It made me so sad...
Maybe she was busy here in America when Ayu came around... Sigh. Q_Q

So, uh, anyone ever run into a Japanese person that doesn't know who Ayu is? xD
I mean, I'm sure there's some, but I thought my professor would know... D;

Edit: Oh balls, I made a typo in the title of the thread. Dx
