Which singers are Ayu fans?
 

Which other singers are fans of Ayumi? I heard that Aki and Miori from SweetS, Goto Maki and Matsuura Aya are fans of her. I'm not sure whether this is true though.

I don't know about Maki and Aya, but according to the HPDB Miki Fujimoto is a fan. (http://hpdb.vicion.net/show/facts/Favorite+artist)
I don't know about any other artists.

Maki Goto said something about listening and singing to ayu´s songs on an ayuready episode I remember that =) so it may be true

well I din't think momusu is huh?

I guess it safe to say Keiko likes her, at least as a person

I think a good portion of the Hello!Project girls are fans of Ayumi. Many of them sang her songs for the auditions to join Morning Musume (including Kago, Tsuji, etc)

The most obvious fan is Kyoko Fukada who admits to dressing/doing her hair to be like Ayu.

I wonder if any American singr likes Ayu...

Maybe Robbie Williams? hehehe

*+D.N.A.+*

Robbie Williams isn't American ;-)

but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

The odds of any of them knowing her are very slim. Even if they visit Japan, they could easily miss any and all references to Ayumi (or any other huge Japanese act) due to workload.

A couple years back, didn't Good Charlotte (or one of those types of bands) make a joke about liking Ayumi? And then a firestorm started about Ayumi dating one of them. It was insane. :rolleyes They knew who she was (presumably because they were on the same stage) but that's not the same as being a fan.

I heard Gwen Stefani is her fan? Also probably Jolin is a huge fan of hers.

Gwen is an Ayu fan? Thats cool! Beautiful Day reminds me of Cool btw:)

Rika Ishikawa, ex-Morning Musume/leader of Biyuuden is a fan of Ayu.

^^ Thanks!

I like monochrome.

I would believe if anyone told me Gwen Stefani is an Ayumi Fan for she is very much in touch with Japan I guess at least she must be aware of the celebrities in there...

Also because she adopted some kind JPop-ish sound, she must have heard something from Ayu.

*+D.N.A.+*

Gwen tries to copy a lot of Ayu's looks, so I think she's a fan

o.O do you have pictures that show Gwen copying Ayu's looks?.. I've always loved the way Ayu dresses and never much liked how Gwen dresses.. o.O;; maybe I've missed something..

Miki sang Ayu's appears song on her audition for the 3rd gen.

^ disregard that... j-nerd put monochrome which is what I ment to put :D

[EDIT]

http://momusu.hellominna.com/profile/ <--- If you scroll down to Rika Ishikawa, it says that she likes to listen to her too. :yes

I forget the source but I think I do remember hearing something about that, and how Jolin really admired her style or something like that.

You're welcome.

Aiko Kayo is a fan.
