[Dawnie]

In no particular order

1: Her strength: Not everyone could learn that they are deaf in one ear and want to carry on. Her strength and love of singing is amazing.

2: Individuality: In both her clothes and PVs nothing about Ayumi puts her in a corner. When you hear western singers and all they sing about is sex and money etc and dress all the same way Ayumi is a breath of fresh air.

3: Sense of humour/love for the fans: Ayu isn't afraid to make fun of herself, when she fell over on stage she laughed about it and then showed the footage the next night. She is a good sport and she obviously thinks very highly of her fans

4:Being childlike: Ayu has an openess about her, everything around her she wants to learn from. Everyone else seems jaded but she has genuine love for her work.

5:she never stops being Ayu: There are no sides to Ayumi. The face she shows you is her face. She is amazingly honest.
