Haha, damn, I love reading all your stories, so awesome! Clearly anime was a gateway for many people, understandably (we barely got any anime here though, so no dice - though I personally also don't really watch anime).
@visionfactory: I can only imagine the stress, hahaha, I've been trying to catch up to what I missed and even though I've now pretty much heard everything I hadn't I am still trying to figure out what my favourites are among the newer material. I've really been enjoying LOVE again for instance (among many other things of course) and every time I play it and hear something great I check what song is playing and am like, ah of course! But then the next time I play it exact same thing happens
Also funny because it's basically like every song catches my ear because of its awesomeness :biggle
@Lyssayu: very recognizable in some aspects (like annoying everyone
) and I also had a bunch of phases (for a while Hikki displaced Ayu, for instance, I still love Hikki to absolute death btw) but Ayu always comes out on top and is probably my most consistently loved and consistently listened-to singer. Also the one that has managed to evoke the most extreme emotions, from utter elation to whatever is the exact opposite of that
@powpowparn: So awesome! I'm so jelly of all these people that have been to one or even a whole bunch of Ayu concerts! I think if c. 2003 you had given me a magic lamp and three wishes it would probably have been see Ayu in real life, see Ayu in real life and see Ayu in real life
