Anyways, one night he flew back to the city to spend the weekend with him. I was in the bathroom, brushing my teeth I believe, him in the living room. Suddenly, I begin to hear music - a vaguely familiar melody that made my ears perk up immediately. I said to myself, "wait... Is that... No, it can't be. ... Is that ... Ayu??" I walk out and see him just casually sitting on the couch, looking at me. I ask him, "what is this?" He doesn't say a word. I continue walking over to the iPad he has hooked up to his surround sound system in his high rise New York City flat. Upon reaching the iPad, I see there is a small playlist of Ayu's music. Originally, I thought he had gotten into my iPod and randomly picked a song; but as it turned out, he had independently search iTunes and purchased tracks by her during out time apart. He told me he chose songs that interested him, and that the time had to be right to spontaneously play them. I was floored. Never in my life had I experienced someone take such an authentic interest to my own interests like that. Completely unpressured, unprovoked. During that moment in time, I felt the most love I have ever felt in my 27 years of existence.

Your story is so beautiful
I'm glad to hear that there still people like him out there.
I recently watched an Ayu concert with my boyfriend. I never tried to make him into Ayu before since he is listening to some kind of Rock music and German Hip Hop Bands and already told me that he can't stand J-Pop oder K-Pop music at all. Anyway, we watched the concert (completely from the beginning to the end!) and he was really impressed. He said that her music is not his kind of thing (except for Sexy little things which he listens to from time to time in the morning while sitting in the bus
) but he likes her show in general and he said that he would not be bored at all if he went to a concert of her. He also said that he can understand why I'm into her that much and that's all I want
