If ayu was a man…
 

If ayu was a man would you feel the same way? :eyebrow

Lets say instead of ayumi hamasaki there was ryu kawasaki :rubeyes

Would you still be a fan? Could you still relate to the music? The image?

Could you imagine a man singing SEASONS? :eek

Would AHS even exist?

I personally wouldn’t feel the same. It just wouldn’t work.

I don’t think “he” would be as popular either.

Yes this was very random LOL :laugh :D

We would only be able to hope that this Ryu Kawasaki's fans weren't drug addicts : D !!! <3

I doubt I would be a fan. The whole package of Ayu could never be properly translated into male form, at least I don't think so. It's because she is a woman with a woman's voice, style, and mannerisms that I like her so much!

O.o;; Um... Wow. I probably wouldnt be a fan... i don't know.... o_o

Jimmy, ^__^;;;;

It's hard to say because Ayu is so very much a woman. Her music reflects it even, so we'd see a lot of changes in the music. I don't know if a young man could ever have as much cultural influence in today's world of music. On fashion and style, for instance. But I would love to see it.

I would love to be it!

She'd be a pimp!

She'd be all 'Nee nee ano sa ano saaa~ XD'~

I so want to see pimp-SMAP Ayu.

XDDDD *utada's you make me want to be a man comes on*

I wouldn't like Ryu if Ayu was a man. XD I don't listen to many male j-pop artists. :/

Well if Ayu were a man she wouldn't be sexy anymore :/

i will not be a fan of ryu. i cant imagine a guy in a leopard costume. and a naked guy in an I am... cover. Let alone airing his armpits for MY STORY and BLUE BIRD. =x

I don't think that I could be a fan..

Waaah.. that'd be so awful :P Only because of that I cover I would never be a fan of Ryu :P

I wouldn't because I rarely listen to male j-pop

I would like him because his last name is KAWASAKI...and my dad prolly wouldn't yell, "turn down that crap..."

I think if Ayu were a guy...he'd probably be gay if he were anything like the "now" ayu...as for the covers, let's ask ChrisKay to model the covers before we decide we don't like them :laugh

Um... no. Ayu would be a pimp ;)

Trust me, I have my sources XDD

if ayu was a man and still had her current voice, i would probably still listen but i wouldn't want to know a man was producing these songs. I wish i could say i don't judge people but its just so hard not to. Also i just prefer female singers so if ayu was a man most likely i wouldn't be the fan i am for Ayumi now.

I definitely wouldn't like Ayu if she was a man >.< It would be a nightmare ~~

Maybe. Being a women is basically Ayu's reason to live :P

...but I listen to a lot of guy's music too. Ryu Kawasaki is an awesome name btw :P

yeah i totally agree!! :yes

When you mention if I'd be a fan if Ayu was a man I immediately come to think about Gackt. Well, they're not very much alike in any way, but considering I can be completely into male artists aswell I see no problem in liking Ryu Kawasaki. It was Ayumis music that I fell for from the start, if the artist name would have been Ryu but the music still of equal greatness I would still have loved it.

On the other hand, I'm thinking those thoughts aswell. My "fandom" would never be able to grow to the same extent, I would probably not be here, because it's impossible for me to see another person with the same persona as Ayumi. Very hard to know. It was Ayumis music that first got me caught, then I was captured by her being, I have no clue if Ryu would be able to do the same.

Nah... a scary thread... ^0^
