Is Ayu famous where you live?
In your country does Ayu appear on TV, magazines, newspapers etc? Do usually people know who Ayu is when they see her?
...or you're like one of the very few who at least heard of Ayu? Here in Romania, Ayu is, like the rest of J-Music, veeerryyyyy underrated  There are some anime fans that heard of Ayu because of Inuyasha and liked Dearest, and others who listens to Asian Music (like me) and listens to Ayu at least once in a while, but there are really few. ._.

Only the Asian people listen to Asian music here. =P One of my friends who lives in Los Angeles, California, says that the girls in his school "worship Ayumi Hamasaki" (they're like all Asian or something, though.) In my city (which is in central/northern California BTW), I know only one guy who's heard of Ayu (as far as I know), and he's Asian too.
This is kinda off-topic, but I'm the only person I know, Asian or otherwise, for whom Ayu is the only Asian artist I listen to. With everyone else, Asian artists are like a package deal, lol. You listen to one, you listen to 'em all just because you're interested in Asian culture, ha ha.

Nope
In Italy (and in the rest of western countries, I guess) few people listen or even knew J-music and Ayu  Visual-kei, J-rock and Johnny's are mooore famous among female japanese lovers here. Ayu seems more loved by boys here (with Kuu, Namie and Hikki)  lol

not really. i live in new jersey, but since my school has japanese class and stuff, familiarity with japanese culture is not uncommon in my school ... so within my school she is maybe a C-List celebrity. like Heidi Montag maybe.

Hahaha..hahaha...ha...haha...haaaah... You're funny. Is she popular where I live? HA! Absolutely not. I'm more than likely the only high-schooler, at least, who even knows about her existence in my county... She's as good as nonexistent here.

and @ Paparazzi: [OT] I wish my school had a japanese class  All my school offers (and every school in my state, for that matter) offers is Spanish and American Sign Language (although I don't think ASL is statewide). Ugh... no offense, but I just don't like Spanish. And I don't wanna take ASL because a lot of colleges don't accept it. So I'm gonna end up taking French at the college across the street from my school.

She's actually kinda big here in Singapore. Ayu's one of the very few J-Pop singers who gets promoted around here. Promotion as in CMs and posters and whatnot.

I live in Arizona, US and (like the majority of post I've read) is that no, she's not famous. There are those people who like anime and have heard of her through that but except for that... no they dont' know her. Which is so sad cause she's really an inspiration...

Not at all.. Off course she's known in the anime-fan circle, but that's all, no "normal" people knows her. XD
