the "grandmother" looks a little like Ayu, but who said
that it's actually her grandmother? does it say in the text?

After all her grandma did raise her up until that point in her life, and now look at where Ayu is.

Was it the NTV 2000 Interview that went into more in depth about her grandmother? I could have sworn that I read that her grandmother passed away while Ayu was recording poker face. Ayu said that she had a very difficult time to record poker face, but once she heard news about her grandmother she rushed to the hospital and it was too late to say good bye.

That was when Ayu finally gave it her all and finished recording poker face.

I'll have to look for the video.

Her family situation reminds me of my own, I was raised by my grandma primarily but I had a close (almost friend/sisterlike) relationship with my mom. However, this is all based on judgement. (i've only been an ayu fan since 2006... ><)

Well her lyrics for one thing. (a song for xx is about her Mother) Also in early interviews almost everything she said about her mother was in a negative light. She went from saying that she learned growing up that she did not want to be like her Mother, to now in the CNN interview saying that her Mother is her idol. Also in her radio show for All Night Nippon in '98 when she is talking about her and how neglectful she was, Ayu comments on how these things didn't bother her and such and such - yet if you've heard the show and not just read the transcript, you can clearly tell from her voice that she is crying as she says this.

I think it's very odd for her to switch all of a sudden, still. I guess I reasoned it by thinking that Ayu learned that her mother was unsupportive of her because she had to work to support the family. Maybe Ayu learned to forgive her. Or do you think the "new" Ayu has just simply forgotten her past and made up a new one?

I thought "A Song For XX" was to her father
thanks for the correction!

No, I agree. I think over time Ayu has learned to accept her past more and see things from her Mother's perspective, thus they have a better relationship now.
