Ayu is not really known here, nor is a substantial amount of Japanese music, for that matter. However, even the people I do know who listen to Japanese music either have never heard of her (???), or they have heard of her and cannot stand her. And there is no point in tryi g to introduce her music to friends, family, etc., because even if they see a PV or hear one of her songs, they can't get past the language barrier to actually enjoy the music. As you can imagine, it can be both frustrating and isolating, since no one wants to have anything to do with her since her music isn't in English, and whenever I get excited about a new single/ album/ etc., I can't talk to anyone about it because no one cares. Which is pretty much why I'm here, because being pretty much the only Ayu fan within a 1͵000 mile radius (guessing) makes one very lonely. In short, no. Definitely no.

In my country is like the same situation
.. I also introduced ayu to my family (only to my mother & sister) and they kinda liked what they heard..my mother is really receptive (in the positive way) at the music I present to her and she praised me for listening "different" music but that's all.....in rest,I'm kinda lonely when talking about ayu...I may try to introduce her to friends but they're really focused on european (mostly dance) music so it's very difficult....
I was very happy when one of my friends told me that she thinks ayu's very beautiful (I shown her pictures of Ayu and also album booklets)
