totally. i figured there would be way more people in here who had been a fan way longer than i have. i thought you'd been a fan longer for example. its crazy to think that i've been an ayu fan for 5 years, and i'm still not tired of her!

^ Well, I already mentioned that Bradley probably has been a fan of Ayu's since the beginning of her career or so

My friend got A BEST for her birthday back when it had just come out in Japan, in 2001. I loved it so much, that I got a copy for myself a few months later.

So many replies so quickly! It's so interesting to see how you guys got into Ayu. Well, when I heard her, mp3s were not as popular as they are now (though still popular), and I found the M mp3 on a lyrics page!

I got my first Ayumi CD in March 2004. I heard a bit about her before - I saw a few pics of her which immediately caught my eye because of her different look - but was a bit wary after hearing she had a bit of a squeaky voice (jpop's made me much more open to other types of music now!)

Anyway I got BoA's Valenti and really loved the ballads especially Winding Road (dunno why I loved it so much, it's still great but now I think Sekai no Katasumide is way better) I wasn't really a ballad person before, I usually thought they were just "filler" tracks. BoA's song made me want to find more great ballads. I looked up Ayumi on yesasia and saw the A Ballads cover and thought it was really cool. I read reviews and decided to buy it, even though I wasn't previously a huge fan of ballads and if I was trying to get into a new artist would have never considered buying a whole album full of them.

But as soon as I heard Rainbow, I realised even if the rest of the album was utter crap it didn't matter (of course it wasn't!) I'd never heard a song like Rainbow before, the opening notes were so beautiful and Ayumi's vocals were perfect. And there were the added techno/dancey & gospel elements in the song which I wasn't expecting and had never heard them mixed together in the one song before.

I think the first thing that made me buy an Ayumi CD was definately the A Ballads cover, I was just like "wow I have to buy this CD - it's such a creative/different cover". Especially for a CD which is was a best of.

late spring/early summer of 2005. of course, i got curious as to who sang the song Dearest on Inuyasha, so i got on limewire and saw all of these songs...i was amazed...so i went crazy over her Duty and I Am stuff...and now look at me! i have all of her albums (not including the two compilations and mini album, but i can get those late) and about 8 singles. i'm planning on finishing my discography by December of this year! of course, i wont be able to get the 8cm singles thought...but luckily they rereleased them...i may come across them someday though...MWAHAH i even have most of the limited singles. i just need AUDIENCE,FLY HIGH, and DAYBREAK and i'm done....oh yea, and i might want to say, im the one who crammed Ayu down Princess_of_Roses's throat enough to make her like her LOL. i got my first Ayu product in September last year. it was ARENA TOUR 2005 MY STORY (JAPAN VERSION). i got my first cd around October. it was actually A Song for XX,LOVEppears,Duty, and I Am in one package. then later i got RAINBOW,MY STORY, and (miss) understood. (around late November, then December, and (miss) understood came around late January) my singles, (vogue,Far away,SEASONS,evolution,UNITE! and Kanariya came with RAINBOW) then i got Appears single for my birthday (November 25th) and my bestest friend ever (Princess of Roses) bought me the SURREAL single. that was around February i think...but i was too sick to really enjoy it around that time when it came. and i havent even mentioned my lives. i have all of her lives except for CDL 01/02 and CDL 02/03 for obvious reasons, and CDL 05/06 cuz i havent had a chance to buy it yet...Momusu was stopping me LOL...so i have a huge collection of Ayu compared to my ARENA TOUR 2005 in September. gosh i went way off topic.

It's hard for me to say when I got into Ayu. I discovered her by looking at a website that listed the top 10 songs in Japan. Seasons was #1; I downloaded it and loved it. Sometime later I went on Yesasia and bought A Best. I guess I got into her around 2000-2001.
