my first ayu's song is Depend On You, I hear that song accidentally, it's like "omg, I like this singer, her voice is so SPECIAL" =]] after that, I search for another song & became her fan for 6 years till now <3

My first song was Fly High. But I have no memory of what I thought about her voice. I was watching the PV at the same time so I was more blown away of her cute looks/outfit and the song's composition and sound.

My first song was Dearest and at that time I was already listening to Jpop.
I don't remember my exact reaction to her voice, but I thought it was really different from other Jpop singers like Hikki, Kuu or Tomiko Van.
But then I fell so in love that I become a fangirl for her lol. And after 10 years she's still my favorite singer ever

First I thought hearing Ayu's voice?
Unpleasent high pitched. I didn't like her voice much.
But somehow it fascinated me.

Don't know exactly which song it was, but from Rainbow/ Rainbow era.

When I first heard her voice I felt like it was awfully strained & reserved sounding...I really didn't like it all that much. Of course that all changed over time with songs like no more words (the first song I heard from Ayu was Dearest). I've grown to love Ayu's unique voice & cherish it although I still have moments when I wish she would tone down the vibrato a notch.

My first song was Bold & Delicious LOL
I had never listened to Jpop before.. I found her albums at the local library, I thought she was just of Asian descent, (m)u looks pretty western.. then I was like

whaaaat??? I stopped it then replayed..then I decided it was catchy..
At first I thought her voice was kinda squeaky (the high notes), but I grew used to it and listened to the rest of the album over the next few days, then listened to My Story and Secret, the other 2 I checked out from the library..
After 1 full listen I loved her voice.. there's nothing else like it..

My first songs were July1st and Blue bird (both remixed) I thought: wow,she's so unique and different *O*

First song I heard was Fly high... voice is not that important to me, to an extent, so I didn't think much of it at all to be honest.

Absolutely fell in love with the song, though and well... I came to be the fan of her I am today

i listened to ayu's voice for the first time when my sister bought few of her first albums and i thought her voice was very high pitch and i disliked that kind of voice, therefore i didn't instantly fall in love with her. but then later, i found out Dearest, i fell in love all the sudden, i thought it was really a very sweet song, and her voice there was not as high pitch as i first heard it, at the time, it was 2004, so i started to find her latest song, then got to hear Memorial address and i fell in love more deeply. starting from there, she really got me as her huge fan. I love her voice starting from 2004 until now.

but then, i also started to dig out her old albums where her vocal was not in my liking, but then after listening over and over again, i thought it was quite nice LOLS.

The very first thing of Ayu I saw was Asia Tour 2008 so the song was talkin' 2 myself and I didn't really think about her voice. I liked it though. When I heard her older songs it took me a while to get used to her voice but I love it now, even her higher pitch in the first albums.

femtrooper · #32 26th January 2012, 06:32 AM

It's weird, cause out of all the singers I like (English singers included), I would put her in my top 5 for best voices. I loveeeeeeeeeee her voice so much because of the uniqueness of it. It's intriguing somehow. It was so different from anything I had ever heard. I also love how much her voice has grown. I love it the best now.

yukito · #33 26th January 2012, 07:35 AM

I first heard Fly high "HAL's MIX 2000" and A Song for xx, the first one was cool, not many squeeky sounds, now A Song for ouch, I really liked more the sound of the music then her voice, never thought it was annoying, just very special.

jewelbox · #34 26th January 2012, 01:30 PM

Well umm.. First song I heard was UNITE! Moogwai remix and I thought her voice was pleasant. Later I listened Dearest, POWDER SNOW and Still alone and started to appreciate her unique voice. Although sometimes it hurt my ears (Still alone)! But I fell in love with her voice.

Kacku · #35 26th January 2012, 01:56 PM

I really can't remember what I thought about her voice when I first heard it. But I sure do remember the reaction my friend had when I made him listen to Because of You: "Nice song. Who's this guy singing?" "... It's not a guy."

Matthew · #36 26th January 2012, 05:43 PM

Squeaky.

JackieRos · #37 26th January 2012, 06:11 PM

I just thought oooh her music is very catchy. Then I was like I love her deep voice.

ayu_ready? · #38 26th January 2012, 09:08 PM

my first songs were...it was A Clips Vol.2 DVD of a friend. so first songs were vogue - Far away - SEASONS trilogy. I've never listened to jpop before so I felt a bit awkward. but I didn't think it was bad/unflattering/disguisting whatever. I loved the PVs and I thought her to be so tiny/petite and cute/beautiful. then it was SURREAL and I didn't really pay attention to the vocie but THE PV WAS AEFSKRUFHASHKAFUHK for me

. but by the end of DVD, there was Dearest (2 versions, regular and acoustic) and that's where I fell in love with Ayu

I thought her voice was so beautiful and went so good with a flow of the song, I thought the song was amazing although I knew nothing about the lyrics lol

but then I watched a bit of other Ayu stuff aka concerts and understood, that, well, she did need some training for 2000 Concerts. but I loved DOME 2001 voice very much.

setsuka · #39 26th January 2012, 09:26 PM

was Step You, so I thought great, but later when listening to her older songs found it odd but still pretty

still don't like Ayu's higher voice all that much,but her vocals are rarely like that anymore

happiholic★ · #40 27th January 2012, 12:12 AM

I wasn't really paying attention. I just loved how she was so different from the pop stars I was used to seeing. It wasn't until I read a review of one of her songs, where the author wrote that she had a typical Japanese "Minnie Mouse voice" that I realized it was different and that some people might not like it.
