I also want to point out that by the author's logic, if I don't like certain American songs, then I am close-minded despite that fact that I grew up with these songs, exposed to them very well, and listened to them several times before I made an opinion about them (whether it be pop, rock, dance, techno, acoustic, rap, oldies, etc.). It does not make sense that I'll be close-minded to my own culture and music that I know very well.
Some long-term fans here just don't like some of Ayu's songs, and it will not make sense to say they are close-minded of Ayu's music (only to the author).
As I mentioned, people usually stick with what they are used to and grew up with. It's just a part of who they are and what they become. Yes, they are people who are culturally close-minded, but not because of disliking a song (even if they call a song Chinese when it's really Japanese, that's more of an ignorance issue).
