What do you classmates think of Ayu?

[Bigtop]

Mixed reactions, but apparently some of my friends are quite interested, and would be interested...

[*-_Ayu-fan_-*]

ohhh My friends say that she Is a bitc* ... don't know why ... they didn't like her music they like a few songs from Kumi because there are more RnB'ish

[y_nathz]

Well there's a little Asian music fan community in my school and to be honest, eventhough the majority of music interest in my school is Indonesian, Western and Chinese, there's still a lot of J-Pop and K-Pop fans in my school

The good thing is the American stuffs fans didn't bash on us Asian music fans

And I'm proud to say I'm the biggest Ayu fan im my school kekeke

But yeah, there's -oh-im-so-kewl-n-popular- kind of people who only listen to local music and thinks they're awesome

My friends said she's so pretty and young, and they respect her eventhough they're not a fan

Super Junior is the most popular Asian in my school though

And what I hate from most non-asian people is that they didn't respect other cultures that much and keep thinking they're awesome, but I'm still happy that all of you guys here are cool !!!

For those who know about Ayu, she's simply the "Chinese girl"

[primavera♥]

well i can honestly say that no one outside of the anime club have ever heard of her. . .except one of my friends. . .but i have no clue how she ever found ayu. or her older sister. . .i think they just like foreign music. . . for the other good friends of mine who know they just consider it a unique quality to me or something. . .very off the stereotype

[lanfix]

Since I have classmates no more, then I'll talk about my friends at the office. It's not different, if people meet classmates everyday and studying in same room, I meet my friends everyday too and work at the same room.
They like many different kinds of music and it's very nice they do appreciate JPop.
When we feel like listening some Japanese stuffs I offer my Ayu's songs collection. Most of my friends also love the remix albums. So I think I don't have problems with my office mates

[hachiroku]

No classmates And btw i dont care what everybody else thinks about her. I listen Ayu for myself.

[asmAyumi1992]

At my school (when I was a school girl), most of my friends never knew who Ayu is. But when I introduced them with Ayu, they just "Okay, she's quite cute" but still, they're not fans of Ayu. And for some friends who knew Ayu, they say, she's cute and she looks a lot like me (wtf??!) but still not fans of Ayu.

Then, after school life (I mean this year), I forced by the government to join the national service. Almost all my friends don't know who Ayu is. Most of them just listening to the local music. They say they don't want to hear any songs that they don't understand. srsly, wtf to them.

That's all. Thank you

[noidea]

50% know I'm listening to asian music
43% don't know about it
7% know about Ayu
3% like untitled ~for her~

That's it xD

[Mirrorcle World ～longing future～]

Half of my classroom know ayu because of me
and the other half don't know ayu

There is something really bad happened to me
One day, one of my friend came and told me that ayu has really bad voice and she think Girls' Generation is better!!!!

Oh GOD! $#%@+&

I don't like or dislike Girls' Generation. But I hate her now!!!!!

[zellyx]

At my school, the asian population is minimal... like 3% of the school. :p
So generally nobody listens to asian music or knows of Ayu except for my Chinese friend who thinks she is "okay." She has a few songs on her iPod "Jewel" "Beautiful Fighters" "I am..." "Blue Bird" but isn't obsessed with her. She's more of a Kpop person.
Anyone who steals my iPod always asks me, as the song I am playing is usually Ayu, "why you listening to Chinese music?!?!" Really even my close friends don't understand.
Nobody I know really understands Ayu. Really if I was asian they wouldn't mind, they just think it's odd for a white person to listen to asian music.

[MidnightGirl]

"They didn't know the Jpop thing or stuffs connected to it.
They all know is the American pop music and thats it!" [2]

They hate and don't understand everything is foreign, except American stuff.
They always says:
- 30 years old? impossible! She have 20!
- omg! a japanese with these big eyes! what weird!
- she's ugly
- what boring songs

[Chu-Lip506]

There is one time that when one of my classmates asked me who is my favorite music artist, and I very proudly said "my favorite artist is Ayumi Hamasaki". And then, my classmate started to ask "who is that?!?"
After that, I felt really isolated when it comes to music they're listening to.

Same situation here! I am an American and I do like some American music, but very rarely. I will listen to Gwen Stefani and some Lady Gaga, etc but not very much. :p
No one understands who I'm talking about when I mention Ayu. It's a shame! :/ And when they see that it's in a foreign language, everyone looks at me like I'm a crazy, because by looking at me you'd assume I don't speak anything other than a European language! And to listen to something Asian is strange to them. They don't even want to try Asian music unless they are Asian themselves.
I don't look like the otaku type or anything. I just look average. No one would guess that I'm a maniac for Ayu!

[gallowsCalibrator]

Many of my classmates aren't really focused on Ayu or her singing, just "Do you know what she's saying? How do you understand her?"

...It gets pretty annoying

[RyRyMini]

I don't really talk about it much at school, it doesn't come up.

People who've driven with me know though, and they're pretty cool with it =D..I listen to my iPod in my car always, so if she comes up on shuffle and I feel like listening to her song, I do =D!

nobody really cares about any Japanese music.
For the people that do listen to at least some Japanese music: the songs are Jpn versions of Korean songs, the songs are from anime/drama, or it's J-Rock

[y_nathz]

^ K-Pop is very popular out there..
Some people thinks that K-Pop is so fresh and J-Pop sounded old x_x

[mcluva420]

my school is infested with asians~ and the Korean wave hit many people. Japanese music is declining before it even got popular x_X
