i heard of her when my brother came back from Japan in 1998 and brought home her Boys&Girls single along with Morning Musume Memory Concert VHS and a tape recording of Utada Hikaru music who's album/singles he didn't want to buy as much as Ayu's (it must've been fate for Ayu to reach me!!!). when i listened to all the remixes of Boys&Girls, i got addicted to her UNIQUE voice like no other. i didn't like the original as much... i also like Utada's First Love, totally adored it, but that was the only song that i liked from her and it grew old... and the rest of her music grew old real quick too. but it was different with Ayu.
i LOOOOOVED the single more than any music i owned. i took it everywhere with me. then i thought "i have to find more of her music but where here in the US?" i was sad until there was download programs... so i downloaded more of her music. the next song i found was "Wishing" and "For My Dear". she officially won over aaaaaaall my favorite singers like Faye Wong and Mariah Carey. Ayu just had this magic that kept me addicted to her music, that kept me wanting more... her sound was different and awesome and full of passion. that was when she officially became my favorite.
