@captain K: If teddy bear~memorial address doesn't win someone over NOTHING can. XD Hopefully you find some fellow Ayu enthusiatists (or potential ones that need persuasion hehe) at your new school.
@Calico: Cool! I wasn't as much into Ayu then so I did my Senior project on The History of Manga but if I could now, Ayu would definitely be my first choice. Hope you aced it.
@Diane: Good luck! Maybe you should have them listen to the A Favorites album in the download section. It has pretty much all of the greats and classics so I think it'd be a good way to introduce your friends to Ayu.
@Yukas and asmayumi: Glad your efforts were successful.
