1.) How long have you been a fan of Ayu? In how many ways has this musician/artist changed your life?
i had been a fan for 9 years.
How she change my life? well, she saved my life, without ayu, i won't be here typing this.
in 2001, i was being bullied in school and almost killed by my classmates, no one is willing to help me, even the teachers don't bother. I was so lonely and scared, i feel left out from the world and want to end my life....
it was till i heard Ayu's [a song for xx], the lyrics is EXACTLY what i was feeling, it's creepy. The song warm me, i feel that there's someone there who understand my feeling, it gave me the strength to live on. Till now, ayu's songs has been always guiding me, giving me hope and comfort.
2.) Do you find yourself inspired/influenced by her? If so, can you name some instances?
times i lose faith in myself and feel like giving up, especially last year after the economic crisis i'm suffering at my job, and feeling very stress about my dad's condition, i'm lost....But when i thought about how strong ayu is, and after losing her hearing in a ear, i told myself to learn from ayu.
She can do it, so can i.
3.) What can you say about her fashion tastes and music style(s)?
i love how ayu can wear different styles well. Recently she's wearing those BIG BIG ribbon on her hair right? In Japan, a lot of gals are wearing it too, even me! I had a scarf tied into a ribbon on my hair too, it's sooo cute~
As for her music style, i'm fine with her trying different type of genre, i find myself liking most of the songs. oh....but i hate Humming 7/4 and Bold & Delicious
4.) What do you love the most about Ayu?
her passion in her work, love for fans and her music
5.) How do you think Ayu presents herself to the world? Do you think she has an "edge" over others (who are in the same industry as hers)?
ayu = role model to me
From ayu, i see good fashion taste and morale
6.) Have you ever talked with Ayu? How was she like?
sadly... i doubt i will get to talk to ayu.
The closet i get to contacting ayu is sending that letter in the A World Is One book and messages in TA.
7.) Can you describe what her music is like?
that's hard.... she have different type of music and genre...
hmm....if i were to put it this way, her songs is like my chicken soup to my soul. Whenever i feel sad or stress, the songs that i will listen to is always ayu.
8.) What kind of personality do you think she has? (Is she warm, friendly, etc.)
Friendly, passionate, cheerful, hardworking, strong...and stubborn, yes i feel that she's quite stubborn, seeing that she's neglecting her health, there MUST be times when her staff/fans told ayu to rest and she refuse to. I still believe that if she has a good rest years back, her left ear might not be deaf now.
9.) What can you say about the people she works with? (The photographer, director, etc.)
i'm not sure....
10.) If you've been a fan of hers for more than two years now, do you believe that there has been a change in her personality in some ways over the past years of her career?
years ago, ayu only put her feeling and emotion in her lyrics. She's more demanding in her work. It wasrecently, ayu start to feel more open to the public and fans.
11.) Lastly, can you name some of your favorite songs by Ayu?
this IS hard....let's see my top plays list, here goes:
