Well this is certainly interesting. I enjoyed reading about Ayu's connection to her fans. To be honest, lately Ayu seems to cater only for her fanbase, leaving little space for new fans. I mean most of the fans I see here have been her fans for years and her teenage following seems to be fading.

Also the fact that she gets this diva atmosphere around her isn't so good..I know she has worked so hard to get where she is but she seems to have gone to an extreme where she looks unreachable. Fans used to love imitating her with her shippo tail or badges but now she just wears these super expensive gowns and has this luxurious lifestyle. Dunno.. makes her feel so disconnected and out there. I'd rather see Ayu in a Days outfit rather than all those glamorous ones in magazines.
