My Japanese TA hates Ayu

[SheFliesHigher]

So I am majoring in Japanese at my college, and one of the teaching assistants for my current class hates Ayumi. Today in class, she called on me to answer a question of why I would want to go to Japan using a certain grammatical point....I said that because Ayu is famous and has great music, I'd like to see her in concert. Well, the TA looked pretty annoyed and was all "Ohhh...Hamasaki....I see...there are better artists"

I was like Pfffffttt.

Previously, my friend had told me that in a casual conversation with her, she had revealed that she hates Ayumi because she is so commercial, and likened her to Brittney Spears (like we haven't heard that one before ) I was surprised because this TA is a very fashionable dresser, so I thought she would appreciate Ayu's style and such.

So yeah, that's my story. Oh, but apparently she likes Utada Hikaru. Which is great, but Hikki just doesn't release enough new material to keep a rabid, addicted fan like me satisfied. With Ayu, there is always somethig new.
