I haven't been asked yet by friends and family why I like Ayu because most of them don't know. I would tell them that despite the language barrier she sings with such emotion that I can really connect with the songs. Then when I read the lyric translation, the connection becomes deeper as I then understand what she is singing about. I also enjoy the music itself and how she is so sweet with her fans.
I had once mentioned to a coworker that I listen to Jpop and she was confused as to why since I don't speak Japanese. I told her the music was catchy and that I have the lyrics on my iPod to read while the music was playing. Oh how I wished I could have just busted out with a few lines of Japanese as part of my explanation. Sadly I can only do that in French.
