I discovered Namie around 2007/2008. I believe the first song I heard from her was Girl Talk on DJ KAORI's JMIX cd. I looked up Namie online and remember seeing the PLAY tour Digest video and I was so blown away by how skilled she was at both singing and dancing. That was also around the same time I started getting more into Ayu (originally discovered Ayu in the Early 2000's with the M above & Beyond Remix and the remix of SEASONS from Initial D). Since then I had a few songs from Namie and Ayu on my iPod but around 2011/2012 is when I really started getting more into Namie, buying her cds and dvd and stuff. Same thing happened when I "re-discovered" Ayu in 2014, now I'm a big fan of both and consider both of them major inspirations for my own music. And I totally remember Winamp, I remember being frustrated that I could never get the custom skins to apply correctly haha.
