Ayu famous for her beauty?
 

Don't u guys think this is one main reason for her being well-known?

I mean there are some people out there who don't really into her music or not at all LOL
But when u ask them...u know ayumi? they'll say she's pretty / beautiful
But they dunno more abt that LOL

I dunno why last time my frens in Indo LOVE BoA very much
they even said BoA is prettier than ayu LOL
Back then when Inuyasha was popular and BoA sang Every Heart

But really...Dun u think ayu's just that pretty? or what?
I mean...Is ayu mostly famous for her beauty? Asian / Japanese beauty?

ayu is beautiful.
yes i agree.
but i think she is famous not because she is pretty.
she was becoming very famous since LOVE~destiny~.
i think she is not very beautiful at that moment

Well, isnt that a good thing?? There are still so many such positive comments from people who do not listen to her songs.
We cant possibly expect everyone to listen to her songs.
And as for why some other say BoA is more pretty than Ayu, well, I can only say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :D

I have to admit, I did first got interested in her because of her beauty, pity me. XD But then I discovered prettier things, like her lyrics <3

Not really. She wasn't much of a looker in her debuting days; it was the lyrics which drew people to Ayu. :yes

YES
peoples here loves her BEAUTY!!
not her song nor her lyrics

Well, I just discovered her recently, so yeah. XD

beauty to me's subject Rendy & as corny as it sounds , beauty's skin deep .

I think ayumi's beautiful inside & outside . There's no point to be beautiful in the external where you're rotten to the core internally it doesn't make sense & defeats the whole purpose of being beautiful

No. At least that's not the reason I like her. She could be freaking horrible, but if she had the same music, I'd love her the same.

I don't think Ayu is famous just for her beauty, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt her status. Her lyrics are amazing, and if people are only into Ayu because of her looks...well...I'd say they need to do some research on her. :P

yup thats definately one of the reason why people like her...but her strong lyrics,music and attitude towards work are some of the other reasons why she has such a strong fan base in the world too

No I really don't think so. Sure she is really pretty, but she is known for many other things above that, mainly her lyrics and all the different records she has set in Japan.

I think many people during her early days as an avex artist thought of her as cute. But I definately agree that her lyrics probably touched people the most.

if ayu is famous for her beauty, then something is very wrong..

i think ayu is famous for her daring image during her golden era. ayu's the one who dare to speak up despite being in the singing industry. She basically sings her life out rather than to just perform...

i was attracted to ayu by her boldness and how daring she was.

Being beautiful certainly has a small part of it, but I don't think it's ONLY because of that.

Ayu isn't just a singer, she's also a model and a perfomer. So I think it comes with the job. It's not because I don't think Koda Kumi is pretty, that others will think the same. I believe it's just a matter or preferences. (No offense to Koda Kumi fans, it was just an example. I do think she looks pretty~)

It helped her, but not the main reason. Also, I'd say it was more here "cute acting" that helped her, as opposed to actual beauty. I do think though, she looks better in 2008 than she ever did. She ages really well + is good at applying the correct make up :P

I had no idea what she looked like when I first started listening to her though, so for me it wasn't her looks that got my attention.

when I first got into Ayu it was her music. A friend let me borrow hers A best album. I fell in love with A Song for XX and the rest. Then I discoverd woooa shes really pretty :) that was a plus. I love her lyrics!

well, look is part of why i like her ^^

She was discovered de to her looks, not her writings. I think looks and commercail music style is waht made her big, her lyrics made her a legend. She'd stll be at least a med. successful idol without them.

i think it's mainly because the lyrics and emotion she put on her songs. and her beauty did help her to reach her status as fashion leader. and those combination makes our ayu now.
