*Looks embarrased* Spring 2007.

I just completed Kingdom Hearts and the credits said Utada Hikaru sung the theme tune, I checked her out on wikipedia and youtube and loved her and I heard Ayumi was considered her rival so I checked her out and loved her as well.

Probably 2004.

That's when I first heard "Dearest," I believe. The first CD I ever received was the "SEASONS" single, December 31, 2004. At that time, I had probably only known a few songs ("Dearest," "no more words," "evolution," and "Free & Easy"). I think I wanted her "I am..." album (because of the tracklist I saw in the "BEST OF INUYASHA" booklet) and her "RAINBOW" album because of her use of English in her lyrics.

I wasn't aware of her 2004/"MY STORY" single releases when I was slowing becoming a fan. No, I probably didn't notice until "fairyland" was released. Even when "STEP you/is this LOVE?" came out, I either saw the commercial for it after it was released, or didn't even pay attention to the release date, and I just loved the songs. (Then again, I was aware of "STEP you" performances...)

2004 was the year I first heard of her, but I'd say the year I became the fan I am now would be 2005.

Summer of 2003. heard Dearest, evolution... watched the Free & Easy PV, kept looking for more and more! loved and bought the & single... etc. the rest is history!

well
it 2006...
i heard moment... and instantly love it!!
irainbow is my first ayu's album and it really made me crazy

October 2003 :D

since Duty.
so I guess its around 2000.

my first ayu CD was "SURREAL". :)

1999 :)
around the time loveppears came out.

ayu daisuki!

2000 if memory serves me correctly. Her first single released after me becoming a fan was... Evolution ^^

I became a fan of Ayu in midsummer '06. Thus 'Ayulover_06' :D

became fan since 1999
after listened to Depend on You

I don't really remember but it was around Blue Bird. So I'm kinda new.

I became a fan around the beginning of the summer of 2005, so I've been a fan almost three years now. fairyland/alterna was her first release after my becoming a fan, and MY STORY was the first album of hers I purchased.

wow. ummm, 2003, definitely. i think "&" was just released. :)

my first song was "Dearest" though. Inu-Yasha, lol.

My first song of ayu was appears in year 2000

2001, after NEVER EVER was released, before UNITE! would be released, probably around Endless sorrow release.

wow, it must be cool to have followed her for almost 10 years!

2002. early june

became a fan after listening to evolution and M~

but if u mean how long have i been a "crazy" fan of ayu,then i would say i started liking her like crazy since Step you era~

End of 2006 is when I really started getting into her music and J-Pop in general, even though I heard Dearest and SIGNAL years ago.

Probably with & in 2003. I didn't really like her before that, since my friends gave me crappy songs like Kanariya, which I still hate today. D:

I stopped hating her in 2001, and I became a hard-core fan in 2002. Weird how things change!
