What was happening when you became a fan?

[love in music]

Endless sorrow!

[pimenta]

When I she became my top favorite artist and I really started to follow her releases it was during the gap between Startin'/Born To Be... and BLUE BIRD, so BLUE BIRD was the first single I remember seeing her release. Before that I just knew random songs of hers from random years of her career...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Moments CM had just recently come out :-) glorious times.

[paper_doll]

The H single was going to be released shortly

[tbarnes10]

Sometime between startin/born to be and blue bird. I was just randomly looking at the different international iTunes, happened across (miss)understood by random chance and 6 years later she is still my favorite artist

I listened to Ayu since 2003 but I became a more dedicated fan in 2005, then STEP you / is this LOVE? single came out and I thought it was the most amazing thing on earth.

I don't like STEP you that much now

[happiholic★]

I actually don't know. For the longest time I didn't really keep up with her releases, just downloaded stuff as I found it. I wasn't aware of forums and such When I finally did start following her consistently and properly the first singles of (m)u were being released.

When ayu announced Rock n Roll Circus Album.

Same. I think it must have been in between Rainbow and Memorial Address...

but I really didn't know what was happening with her until I joined here...by then, Fairyland was being promoted.

I remember everyone loving how pretty she looked on the covers when they came out.

I remember not commenting because to me they were "just covers" for "just a single" lol

[TotsuzenAyumi]

I found her VERY intimidating at first, something it ticked me off. But I was looking stupid when I found out she sang Dearest ( this was in december of 2002), THANKS TO Inuyasha I felt so bad... I only stuck with a few more songs until 2006 when I really got into her! If it wasn't for that song, I wouldn't be around here. Also thanks to Youtube and downloading music.
