I dunno. Don't Christains wear crosses too? Those 2 religions have always confused me because they are so similar to each other. There was a picture of Ayu that I posted and her nails had diamonds in the shape of a cross on them. If I'm not wrong, she had a black hood on?

Isn't it like Japanese people aren't that strict on religions? Like Christians also go to Shinto temples to pray or the other way round. That's what I read somewhere.
I don't think she's a religious person. I haven't read an interview with her where she mentions her religion, or that she belives in a god. Her crosses might be a fashion thing. And, as ImpactBreaker already mentioned, crosses aren't owned by the Christian Church. Just because you're wearing a cross or incorporating Christian things in your MVs or lyrics, doesn't mean you're Christian. |

Recent statistics shows Japan's religions are like this -
Shintoism 93%, Buddhism 74%, Christianity 1% (most Jpanase consider themselves to be both Shinto and Buddhist).

I don't believe Ayumi is christian or catholic. This is an excerpt from an article translated by Isaac Hiew:
Quote:
I think Ayu is interested in characters like Maria and Jeanne D'Arc for two reasons: 1) She is attracted to them as female 'role models' or examples of unique, strong, etc women. 2) Like other Japanese she is fascinated by western things. For example, 'christian' style weddings, celebration of christmas, and wearing of crosses are very popular in Japan even though most people don't understand what they mean or believe in them. They just do it because it is trendy, like using engrish slang. |

Oh this article helps to understand what was behind the M lyrics! I didn't know anything about M cause I still didn't know Ayu the time she released that single. Thanks for the info nmskalmn!

i don't think ayu is a christain, in fact i even doubt if she has a religion or not
most ppl in japan, even though if they ain't christian (which they ain't 'cus itz a VERY small popular in japan that are christians), like St. Mary or Jesus etc 'cus itz just a representation of the western culture in their eyes and many of them welcome western culture....especially for young girls & boys so even though she sees mary or st joan de arc as her role model, doesn't necessarily mean shez a christian besides, from my japanese teacher, itz extremely rare that a japanese would be a christian...

i think if ayu was a christian she would probably feel like she was balspheming when she dressed up as Maria and abused her powers...
i agree with what skal said... nice research m8...
