How much do you love Ayumi Hamasaki?

[Lanz16]

I really love Ayu-chan like a loyal friend.
The lyrics got my attention to her music and it makes a contrast to the other music artist I knew (and hated).

The one thing I really like her is she really loves her fans around the world and to her fellow fans from her country like a friend. Even though she lost her hearing on the left ear, she continues to sing. She had this "fighting spirit" that even though she lost her hearing, she continues on her singing carreer no matter what. She's really a "Beautiful Fighter" IMO. ^^,"

Whenever I get lonely or even bothered, I listen to her music and reading the translated lyrics and even I sing along. And whenever I buy her stuffs like CDs (singles or album, but album makes me really happy), It makes me happy very much that I really support her music.

She treated her career as a passion for her music and for her fans not as a work like some music artist nowadays.

I never get bored with her music until now and this is the only music artist I support today.

I think love is a strong word, but since I went to her concert the other week (and when she gave me a funny look ) my appreciation of her has certainly improved. To keep the audience thoroughly entertained for 3 hours, and to sing live as well as she did, you have to respect that.

omg!!! she looked directly at you???...speechless...anyway...a thread with our posts expressing our gratitude to AYU for anything we feel like, would be a good idea, don't you guys think?

Umm, yep, she stared me out for a few seconds I had a seat near the catwalk thing that goes into the crowd, so when she performed "my name's WOMEN" I got a funny look. Guess being the one white guy in a sea of Japanese people, I was bound to stick out

i love her all! the way she gives her all to her music, her lyrics, and everytime i hear her sing, i just get all happy inside...or sad depending on the song, i would to think i would never want to lose my sight, but...since listening to ayu, i would rather lose my sight than my hearing...that's how much i love ayu

Actually I think that's more of a proof that she loves her career/job and the $$$ rather than the fans themselves. I know she must love her fans, to an extent, but nah, not to THAT extent that she'd put them above everything else, otherwise she'd make free performances and distribute free cds and w/e. Ayu is not some holy saint that came to earth just to please the masses. She's human, she knows she's not incapable and that she still can make her career worth of fame and $$$.

Well all of the artists are doing their job for money as well to an extent lol
Though the fact that ayu is so loved and respected by her fans makes her feel really good and willing to do music as well and she gives them love and respect as well (as ayu wrote in her song Trauma "Humans are like mirrors, they way that you'll treat them, they will treat you the same way" or something like that).
Money is not the only issue for her but obviously she likes the money as well lol.
I'm just happy she's not full on it and that's one of the thousand things that makes me give her a lot of respect. She could forever more release highly mainstream songs like only cute songs only love ballad songs etc. just to sell, but she prefers doing her own music and not do high mainstream things that no one will be able to dislike because they sell.
When she was in france you could see how she liked to sign autographs for her fans there and she really was excited, she didn't run away and said "oh no, fans here too? let's go quick!! crap!!"
she just was happy to see them and to be near them.

More of the things that makes me love her (of course everything that is connected to her music which is the most suitable for my taste), but her devotion for her work, determination to move on despite her left ear, and satisfy her fans (and not all of Japan) with the music she likes doing and that is coming from her.

ayu is a human with an awesome music.

I love ayu to a large extent..because of her determination, hard works and talent for writing great lyrics.

[AyUta]

I love, love, love, love Ayu

[wenren93]

well, i love ayu is because she's HARDWORKING
;D
ayu ganbatte neh !

[che0173]

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER <3
THAT IS WHY I CANT STOP SUPPORTING HER S2!!!
but one specific reason are her strong and powerful feelings that are put into songs and the songs themselves sound good <3

lucky duck. I want to see that caught on video hahaha. If only it was like america where they have those big screens that show people in the audience, and then there you would be the white guy admidst all the japanese XD

If I went, I don't think i would have gotten a look or stood out cause I'm asian, unless I started yelling really loudly in random english to get their attention.

[alternarist]

i love ayu so much! cos she puts her heart and soul into everything she does.. it's rare for a girl to continue moving on despite facing challenges..

also, she remains positive all the time!! this is something we should learn from her.

I thought I'd never see the day that an Ayu-worship thread would be created.

It's sad that people love ayu? I've yet seen "ayu is a goddess" posts here
Why is it SO bothering you?

[Luv ~Venus~]

^....it's not really bothering but I just don't see the purpose of creating a thread like this. I've seen similiar threads like this. Most of them saying, "Without Ayu, my life would be dull or missing something..." etc.

Oh, yea. i edited my previous post because I realized that I might hurt a person;s feelings by saying something like "How sad!"

I don't think it would hurt anyone's feelings because I can't see what's so sad in it?
And you do really care about it or else you would just ignore it love.

Thank you! I'm getting sick of people insisting ayu is staying in it "for the fans". I'm sure the fans mean something, but it's more about making money for herself.

Eh. I got through phases. Like. I'll be obsessed with Ayu, and then it'll gradually die down, and I'll obsess over someone else. Right now I'm obsessed with Kuu again, and I'm forgetting about Ayu. Don't hate me please!

But I'll always have love for her.

Well, I edited just in case. I really don't wanna read another backlash about me. <~I just had one in the Kuu thread.

My luv for ayu: 7/10 I'm just not big on her like I use to be. When Secret came out, I was pratically screaming but now its like, yay for another album or single!

And this is really worth being anti-ayu?
I don't care for the other anti-ayu people here but I love you and I know how kind and mature person you are, I just don't understand why you post a lot of anti-ayu comments? specially if you still like her even a bit?
aww...
