How did you get to like ayu?

[Jonny]

About 2 years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to JPOP. The first song she sent me was evolution by Ayumi Hamasaki. I wasn't quite sure how to react to it. It was definitely different than anything I ever heard before. I didn't know if I liked it or not so I put it on the backburner for a while.

Eventually, I had began to learn about more artists and slowly shifted from listening to domestic music to JPOP. I then started buying CDs. I got Utada Hikaru's 3 albums, First Love, Distance, and Deep River, Porno Graffitti's Foo?, and Ayumi Hamasaki's I am... Unfortunatly...I am...didn't get as many spins because at the time, Hikki had completely attracted my attention.

I then started to download any video clips I could find from Kazaa. When I started looking up Ayu videos, I was amazed by how many clips there were out there. So I started downloading and downloading. A lot of the videos that I got were from her LOVEppears album. The TO BE PV was the one that completely turned me over and I became an avid fan since then. This came about right when RAINBOW was released. So I picked up that album and it came with a coaster! SCORE!
