do your friends think you're weird because you listen to ayu?

[Delirium-Zer0]

My mother thinks i'm a psycho... she's like "why aren't you proud of being american??" i'm like "I am proud of being american, it's not my fault that most american pop culture SUCKS" But yeah... most of my friends like Ayu too cuz we're all jpop/anime fans. My sister likes mostly jrock but she likes ayu too. My stepdad tolerates it, he doesn't hate it... actually I think he likes it more than he says he does, but he's afraid of my mom XD

I'm just another oriental guy listening to JPOP. I live in a western country now but that makes it no difference whether im still in HK or in UK.

So for my case it isn't really that surprising.

How weird it is, depends where you were brought up, where you live now, and what your friends are like.

nice friend you have AyuFanatic. Some Western celebrities look like a blowfish and sound like crying cats to me.

All of mine do! I live in the stupidist smallest town in South Carolina. well i don't know if it's the smallest, but it shure seems that way. most of them call it "pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~" music. like they'll say "Alex, are you still listening to 'pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~' music?". that makes me very mad! that's offensive! i just tell them to shut up. i made one of my friends, jessica, a ayu cd & she liked it. mabey i have found another local listener!

If I was still @ school, then no doubt most of my friend's would have thought I was weird for listening to Ayu. Luckily though, I'm not in such a situation anymore and am pretty selective when it comes to firends........I've so far made at least 3 Ayu converts, and I expect to make a few more b4 the month is out ^^

[Grantith]

shinjite, you live in South Carolina????? Chibinina and I live in SC too!!!!!! Your location says "Staras" I've never heard of that town.

knightcat, that's awesome you've made some converts! I've tried many times, but always failed, hahahha. Maybe someday I can convince someone near me to become an Ayu fan. hehe

[Delirium-Zer0]

I've been lucky in that respect... I've gotten everyone to at least LIKE ayu... maybe not be a total fan, but they like what they've heard. It's easy. Ayu does so many diff styles of music, just make specialized compilations, custom made for individuals who like certain types of music ^_^ For example, John liked the eurobeat stuff from Initial D. Guess what CDs I made him copies of !

[trainspotter01]

Delirium-Zer0: listening to jpop and proud of being an american is 2 separate thing!! ur mom's idea's kinda funny hehe

shinjite: wow, "pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~" music? not only those ppl offend the music, they also offend ppl of other races!

[AyuGAME]

same here
there is a lot of people that thinking i'm weird
but a few like it
so..?!
i dont care and keep listen

[tinyppl]

I think it depends on where you live. In Asia, Jpop is quite influential and well-known generally.

I think Jpop is something very different to American music; so maybe it's abit hard for some of them to accept. But I've come across many American/French/German/Spainish jpop/jrock fans; it's really a great to know that many of them likes Jpop too.

[Qt Mashi]

at first it was kinda weird but then all my friends got used to me listening to Ayumi lol~

but my parents especially my dad thinks im relli weird, when he says something bad about Ayu i talk back to him and say he listens to old music that isnt even popular nemore and when they sing they make the eeeeeeeee chhaaaa sound

[hiroko1234]

my friends love J-Pop..we have the same interest...but someone of the people hate J-Stuffs...dont know why

[Aisha_Angel]

YES!!! Everyone thinks I'm an alien! lol

[jojo-chen]

None of my friends listen to j-music, so they think I am weird.. they ask me do you understand that song? I said yes, and I send some ayu's lyrics to my friends and now they start to like ayu's song... Now, they always ask me where they can download ayu's stuffs (mp3, PVs, pictures) LoL I guess they start to follow me...

[DerrickRocks]

wow lol well my friends accept it and they don't care as long as it makes me happy. My best friend just bought me Step You/Is this love? cd/dvd as a gift because i bought him the SPAWN series collection dvd and the X-Men series dvd. My friends all like Nami Tamaki cuz she is cool as shizniz and they love Namie Amuro,Koda Kumi and BoA it is awesome we go and look up the translations and japanese lyrics put them togeter and wa laa we know what they're saying and thus so easily picking up some of the language lol they say it makes me who i am
