I think most of us, discovered Ayu with illegal downloads. And I am one of them.
After get my job, I've been able to buy her releases. Not her whole discography because I have to save money for other things and I don't want to buy singles when I'll get the same songs on her album (unless they're special first press singles tho).
Illegal downloads are the easiest way to discover new music these years, imo. Especially from those artist who doesn't have a big fandom outside their country. So you will never get a chance to listen to them on the radio.
But buying CDs it's really pricey, not everyone can afford it. Luckily you can buy digital release with Itunes and other online stores and they're quite cheap, compared to physical releases.
That's kinda sad though. Soon mp3s will overtake CDs completely, and I'd miss the beauty of the booklets and to fill my shelfs with so many CDs and DVDs lol.
