Hmm...well I feel like I'm pretty crazy about Ayu. She's the only Japanese/foreign artist that I even bother to purchase music from, and I've already paid hundreds of dollars altogether for her stuff. I listen to other J-artists, but I don't try to buy their stuff because I think it's a waste of money.
I have her entire discography in my iPod, and she's the most played artist on there as well.
I wrote my college application essay on her, and how her lyrics have greatly influenced my life.
I improved my vocals by a tenfold when I started singing her songs. They were great vocal trainers
. For a time, Ayu even made me want to become a singer.
I tried so hard to get my mom, sister, and best friend (AyUta who is now a big fan) into Ayu's music. I wanted to spread the love
. My mom and sister didn't mind her, but they didn't like go bonkers for her music.
And when I get my own laptop in a couple of weeks, I'm gonna decorate my background with Ayu's purty face
.
Overall, Ayu has greatly impacted my life. I'll never forget all that I have experienced and learned from listening to her music. I feel that I am an Ayu maniac mainly because I have allowed such a distant and completely alien person (we're on two different sides of the world) to strike me so powerfully.
