Ayu made famous by anime? what...?

[VRGRK]

Honestly I am not going to even say that ayu was made famous because of Anime, simply because anyone who has taken the time to do proper research will know that she is famous because her fans love her "deep, meaningful lyrics" and that she is able to connect well to her fans.

I'm not going to say that anime, inuyasha in this case didn't contribute to ayu's populartiy in western society because I'm quite sure that it played quite a role in her being as known as she is in the west. I'm not saying that everyone who knows about Ayu learned about her from Inuyasha but how the vast majority of people who get into foreign music, Japanese music specifically usually get into it from either a video game like Kingdom Hearts (Utada Hikaru) or anime like Inuyahsa (Ayu, DAI, V6, Hitomi, BoA, Namie...).

I know that there are a few people here and there that don't even watch anime but are into foreign music and get into it from either the internet, or they know a friend who is from another country, etc.

Spoiler:

This next thing is a little off topic but i'm just going to come out and say it. Doesn't it just bug the crap out of you when you are listening to music in a foreign language such as japanese and people automatically asume you are some kind of anime-obsessed person? I know it really bugs the heck out of my because I can't even remember the last time i've even watch anime of any kind... Its been years.
