back when i'm in school(or even work now), japan music or japan culture had been so close to me.

Say in my second year in secordary school-2000, the teacher showed us in art class of a girl's work. She drawn out Ayu-mix-II cover(the cat and ayu picture)!
in 1999, one of my senior in choir is a huge SPEED fan, and she listen to ayu too. there are times when she will play japan music during break. i remembered there was a time when she perform ayu's 'a song for xx' on the stage.
in 2001, i get to knew 2 friends who love kinki kids and SMAP. They had their picture on their folders/tables/wallet/textbooks and even more in their house! and they are the ones who got me more interested in manga and anime.

Then i found ayu in 2001 when A-best was out.
now, i found a friend who had the same interests as me, anime, manga, japanese songs(she likes koda kumi, ayu, GLAY....but mostly she prefer anime songs)

Till now, i am carrying my love for ayu wherever i go. take now for example, i'm playing ayu's and other japanese songs at my workplace. lucky my colleges are very understanding, one of them like k-pop. though i do encounter harsh comments like 'yuck! they sound disgusting, since i don't understand them!'
there are times when after work(i'm working at a kids department) or when there are less kids around after 9pm, i'll play my japanese artist DVD on the computer(like kuu and ayu). i had saw people stopping to look when waiting for the taxi to come. once there's a guy who request me to repeat the disc when the pvs of Black Cherry DVD stopped!
