Has the anti-Ayumi Hamasaki sentiment on AHS impacted your fandom?

I just love her attitude to life, nothing has swayed my bashing and hatemongering but I dont love everything song she does. But I like her energy and outlook in life. And she is what I like and not one other persons remarks or options will every make me give up on what I like and love And that her songs are her own words But ayu has been my main artist I listen too for years now. I cant think a day I haven't listen to a song. Her music is like its my emotional outlet. I usually say she has a song for every mood to my friends. And with how many songs she has, I dont need much more. Im not some ear slut lol, I don't just let any wannabe artist trample their music through my ears I guess they say everyone has one thing they have to wind own and is their pleasure. Some people smoke, some drink beer, I listen to ayumi and two dvds a year with a new album, I think thats well more than enough especially after how longs shes been at it Like she says, she cant imagine a life without music, and I agree with that Shes just a good inspirational person in my opinion. I don't judge her personal life

Same here! I respect Ayu way too much and I appreciate what her music gives me.
Although, I have noticed that I've listened more to if Ayu sings bad or not live after reading complaints on AHS. It doesn't bother me though since I think it's so interesting to hear how Ayu's singing and voice has changed during the years.
