Hah. Where I'm at, people don't even watch anime! Forget Ayu or even Jpop.

Why is it that all the "female anime lovers" like that Visual stuff? I have a friend who is a crazed anime freak and it's the same with her. Kinda gets on my nerves...

Anywho, Ayu is completely unknown where I am in Canada, however in Vancouver, where there is a much higher Asian population I assume she would be slightly more well known. Although there is a mall here near Toronto called Pacific which is this huge Asian mall, and they sell lots of Ayu stuff. Her newest CDs and everything!

Nope, not in America. In San Diego I've only been once to a Japanese store that sells her stuff and it's waaay Far away. So far, I'm the only big Ayu fan I know, and probably not one in one hundred thousand people know her unless they know a ton about Japanese pop-culture.

I feel so isolated.

I'm living in Japan, now, so yes However, at home virtually know one knows who she is, unless they listen to music from China, Korea, or Japan on a regular basis.

I don't how to say this. But most of my friends never knew Ayu before I introduced Ayu to them. But, many my acquaintances in internet know about Ayu. The most are the fan of Korean and some Japanese artist.

At my place,

10%: Is a fan of Ayu
50%: Know who is Ayu
40%: Never know who is Ayu

wel, i'm in singapore, which is the smallest country but contains a lot of jpop fans, ayu is quite well known around here

We see ayu on tv cms, magazines, newspapers.....and her singles and albums are sold around the little island, and yes her cd chart VERY well here.
just in my company's camera department, i already know 3 ayu fans(including me) and my sis likes ayu's songs too.

to be honest, it's Inuyasha that help bring her more fans in 2002 to 2003, Singapore is an anime-fantasy island too, we get lots of cosplay events round the year, my sis is a cosplayer too, and from her group of cosplayers, most of them start to know Ayu through Inuyasha.
As for the fans before that, it's those CMs for Duty and LOVEppears, there were lots of promotion back then. Even my first impression of Ayu was the japan singer who cover upper body with her hair...(>_<)

She's not too famous here in Indonesia.
But i bet those who love anime or japanese culture know her. xD
Some girls who read fashion magazine also usually know her.
At least we have Ayumi fanbase here.

Some people here know about her. I guess over all it would be 30 or 40 in my home city, but just because they know about J-Pop. They're not fans..

No...! Sure.. there are some people, who know her.. but really less.
Mostly, when I say to someone, I like Ayumi Hamasaki... they have no idea, who is she.
