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!

late 2002, I think

Since 2005 - When I first heard HEAVEN and felt in love with this song~

end of 2001, shortly before the re3lease of I am.. ^^

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.

[Ani_C]

I became a fanboy (LMAO) on July 2005 ^_^ like most newbies to Ayu i started with Evolution i even devoted myself to learn the lyrics (which i did) i need to learn more tho ehehe

[isaac hiew]

year 1999.... was the year I first listened to her song. It's "Boys and Girls" which brought me into her world.

[Hazuki]

I became an Ayu fan in May 2003

I remember having seen Ayu on the internet and listening to "evolution", so I asked my mother if she could find it in the Philippines.. And she did

I'm so happy I took intrest in her music!

[truehappiness]

I first got into her back when I was like 10... with teddy bear and For My Dear. xD I even learned the beginning piano music to teddy bear! It was really fun~ and then I went on an Ayu-hiatus where I didn't do much related to Ayu until 2 or 3 years later.

I saw the & single and was immediately rehooked into Ayu with the PVs and wonderful music that was on that single <3

[walt1112]

2000!

[Yukitora]

I first heard her in 2001 when Dearest was out, but I become a fan 4 years later with STEP you I wish I followed her more closely before last year. I was in Japan and she was everywhere!

For me it was 2003. Maybe October or November. I heard about Ayu in kind of a funny way, that time blend challenges were very popular, and in one challenge the subject was 'Your favourite singer' and someone had made it of Ayu. I had never heard of her, so I got interested and downloaded Real me. I really liked it and downloaded couple more, RAINBOW, Boys&Girls, A song for XX, M. After a while I became kind of bored, since I didn't understand a single word, so that was it. But couple of months later in 2004, I don't remember how but I suddenly thought of Ayu again. I found out there was a new single coming out, Moments, and I already found the PV of it and watched it. I fell in love. And now, couple of years later, I'm here. My Ayu website just turned 2 years old XD Ayu still is my favourite singer and she's my idol, and I love her. I wouldn't change these fandom years at all, I'm happy to be where I am now. ^__^

[Teh Rii-Sama]

Late 2003 or early 2004. . .somewhere around there. :B I came across some of her songs, and. . .Eee. :3;

First album I got was Duty, yes. And that was around. . .Early 2005, maybe? o_o

[Hachimitsu]

For me, becoming a fan of Ayu was like love at first sight. Though it took me a while to discover all her songs, I didn't stop listening to her music since the first time I heard her music. I must admit, there were some intervals during which I listened to other artists, but I always returned to Ayu.

Let's see, what month was it.. I know it was fall 2004, because it was before the release of My Story. Oh, I guess you can look at the "Join date" in my profile to see the exact month.

[Axel_Grease]

Late 2005, around the release of B&D/Pride. But I think it was fairyland that really got me interested in her.
