Are Japanese people surprised that you listen to Ayu?

[PoetGirl]

my boyfriend(s) had to love her. it's an obligation lol, I convert them in ayu fans haha...
not that its my intention, its just, when someone is around me so often they hear me
talking about her, its funny like in serious conversation Im like 'ayu, sorry for mentioning her, would say...' LOL and they got interested why im so excited and ofcourse I show them every aspect of her music lol and they can't not like it.. Im embarassed 'cause I act like a child when ayu is releasing new music and everyone knows it around me...

Its funny when boyfriend one time got mad me at me and told me instead of leave, get out, leave me alone whateva he said 'go listen to ayu and then come back'

LOL

Haha Now THAT's an ayu fan. Very similar to how I act, actually, when Ayu is releasing new music and how I talk about her around friends

lol you sure have succeeded in converting them..

I don't really meet much japanese people.. Once my japanese teacher asked for our idols in class, so I said ayu but she wasn't that surprised.. think she take my age into account the era blah blah? Coz later the next guy answer AKB, and my teacher said 'oh yeah i know them coz my son likes'

How I wish to meet a japanese ayu friend, especially if that friend goes back to japan regularly and maybe can ask to help me buy her things

Yeah they get really supriced. And then they try to tell me that she released a new single last summer and I'm like "Yeah I know" and then they get really supriced and continue "WOW you're such a huge fan!" Haha.

And just like the others. I often know more about j-pop than them and they often want to tell me about why ayu isn't popular anymore.

Haha my boy-o said he got really interested in me when he saw my huge intrerest for Ayu. He says that is what makes me different and he could see clearly how passionate I could get over things. Now he really don't enjoy pop or anything near it but he saw only goos qualities in my Ayu fandom.

Next time some Japanese is trying to tell you, why Ayu isn't that popular anymore, let them know that decreasing sales might be an indication for her music to become even better than before since, regarding sale statistics, it apparently is no longer mainstream~ish enough for shallow listeners
