I was introduced to ayu and I honestly did not know it was possible for me to love music so much. I didn't know that music could make me FEEL different emotions. I always thought music was just there.. I never got a feeling from American music that the people singing the song actually sung it with their feelings, and it never made me feel good or bring me to tears or make me want to dance. If anything, it made me cringe because of the horrible lyrics in most music I would hear on the radio.. then I went off and would try to discover some unpopular artists to see if they were any better and they really weren't much better. I just remember before I got into Asian music, I tried so hard to find American music that I liked.. but I couldn't. The lyrics always bugged me so much. I don't have this issue with Asian music because honestly I find the lyrics to be 100x better and even if there are some I don't like too much from reading the translations, I can just ignore them since I can't understand what they're saying anyway when I listen to the song. Also the songs themselves.. the arrangements/compositions are just so much better than what I would ever hear in American songs. I just think now that Asian music is of a much higher quality, and I prefer it to American music. After seeing how good music could be, why would I want to settle for less?
