My parents are neutral, they really don't care about her nor do they care about any other artist I listen to I guess ^^
My lil sister [9 y/o] likes Ayu, and BoA too; sometimes she does some sound mix/playback shows for school and stuff. Last time she did 'Boys & Girls', now she's doing 'SEASONS'. So that's cool
My girlfriend doesn't really like it, but she doesn't say I shouldn't listen to it. She's cool with it, although I think she found it rather awkward when I started listening to Jpop [because before that my main musical taste concerned hardcorepunk ^^], but now it's totally normal to her ^^
As for my friends, one of my best friends is a convert too [Chrono], most of my other friends don't care and relate too her as Tjap Tjoy, which is basically Asian food. But another kid I know recently asked me who that pretty girl was I'd been using as my avatar on MSN [Ayu], and I promised to send him some songs. Hope he gets converted too ^_~ And oh yeah, there used to be a girl in my class who likes Jpop too, J R&B actually, like Crystal Kay and stuff.
