I avoid explaining why I love ayu's music. It's not that I'm ashamed or something (not at all!), but the fact that other people find it hard to consider that there are more than 2 music genres, artists and languages all over the world.

Today however someone asked me who the girl on my (phone) wallpaper was, and I explained who ayu was, and then she wanted to listen to a few songs and she really liked her. But it also happens that I try to explain that she's an Japanese artist whom I listen to, and that people react like 'WTF I thought you were into Drake's / Chris Brown's / Lil Wayne's music instead of this piece of ****.

And If I were to come through those people they would ask ridiculous questions as: "But you don't even understand Japanese, why do you listen to her etc." Like music is all about languages. I never understand any word what ayu sings but I always look it up, and strangely enough: I understand what feeling she's expressing in her music, it's inexplainable but true.

I never met anyone in my life whose into ayu like me or any of you guys though! XD

edit; My parents find it weird too. :p
