No~
I sometimes feel like the only Ayufan in my country, well I met some people knowing her, but there was no passion.

In LA I'm sure there are a lot of people who know who she is, I mean, they sell her albums and magazines with her in them. Little Tokyo, she's pretty much everywhere around there. I've seen her albums in Korean town, too.
And yay for 3 AZ Ayu fans!

In Ireland... no

though I was in work and a girl who's studying Japanese is a fan of ayu... so we had much to talk about

But, no... she's virtually unheard of in my country.

No, but I have met an Ayu-fan at my college recently. Now I don't feel alone anymore. ^_^

I was just thinking... how come Ayu is a best-seller and she's not well known outside Asia?
Her videos are also on the most expensive videos ever list.

And still, not even Michiya Mihashi or B'z, Dreams Come True, Glay, Hibari Misora, Utada and Mr. Children aren't well known outside Asia O_o

And, if I don't mistake, they are the few Asians that could have topped into the best-sellers top. How come they're not famous in the US or EU? :|

*sorry for wenting a bit off topic*

Uuuuuu I wish >.< Ayumi is such a wonderful singer... I'm sure that if people didn't have such big stereotypes about Asians, then they might give her a thought! America needs more good music...I think the artists here are falling into a slump...

@MiiSan: Oh, I completely agree with you! It just doesn't make sense... O.o She really should be more well-known in places outside Asia as well!

No, Ayu isn't really famous here in Finland. Well, I've seen a couple articles about her in a magazine called Japan Pop, but I haven't really met Ayu fans. Most people I know have never heard about Ayu. Well, except my friends.

nope as far as i know only my friends have heard of her
but if i say "Ayumi Hamasaki" to anyone who asks who my favourite artists is, their like "Who??" and give me the "Never heard of them so you must be crazy look"
mind you if she did suddenly turn famous in the UK everyone would be like "Oh yeah i know all about her, shes a new artist isnt she?"
Same like that with any band/artist and it gets on my nerves T^T

Yes, my friends and most people around me knows her for sure. But she's not a top idol here.
Which makes me feel so special and unique about myself
