Yeah I'm at year 16 of my fandom.... My ayu fandom can drive in the USA now. That's just... that's just weird.

I'm proud of myself though. I'm not usually that good at committing to anything. XD
On AHS, I've been here since Secret. I previously had a different account that I deleted after a rough time on these forums. But this will be my 10th year with AHS, 10th year with Ayu. I know you and SO many other people are still around, but my gosh did I tear up a little when that thread went around about members who aren't here anymore that people miss. We're still in this!

I have to share that surprise with you. There isn't actually another artist I've respected even when I thought their release was pure shit. Ayu, however, I've listened to everything, even NOTHING FROM NOTHING and that dreaded Moon album from 1995. What I miss today is that similar feeling of getting new music round-the-clock each year. It may not have seemed like much, but I always loved the satisfaction of ticking off #45, #46, #47... as Ayu released singles. Ahh... nostalgia...

As an aside, I want to say I was listening to Suzuki Ami's infinity 18, and it reminded me of how happy I am that autotune has not been a characteristic of Ayu's career. She may be off key and have poor form on her early releases, but she never tried to mask bad singing with autotune.
