Hi everyone,
Very interesting answers all. I guess the idea of a "guilty pleasure" still kind of depends on you and your interests. I can understand hardcore J-rockers thinking of her as a guilty pleasure of sorts.
But like I said I personally don't believe in the idea of a guilty pleasure, simply because I try to be open as possible to all sorts of music. I'd listen as much to Ayu as I would to Beethoven, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Spice Girls, Lindsay Lohan, Hello! Project, Malice Mizer, and old cartoon theme songs. Gummi Bears! Yeah, I'm schizoid
