Wow, there wasn't an Ayu thread yet?
I like Ayumi, but i'm not a huge fan or anything.
She's a great singer

[mizer_unmei]

I was a HUUUGE fan when I started getting into Jpop. Along with MALICE MIZER, she was the first I listened to. I started following her music around when "Free&Easy" came out. Unfortunately I think her best work is "RAINBOW" and before, so I lost interest around "Fairyland". I can't be bothered to even sample her new stuff now.

I absolutely adore how she helped the industry evolve. And I loved her 10+ track singles. Most remixes were misses, but there was some gold there. (I especially like "M Smokers Mix-")

I still listen to "LOVEppears" really often though. That was her best album ever, and I think the real peak of her career.

[planetarium15]

My very first Jpop artist. Was playing Thousand Arms way back then and I heard 'Depend on you' I've followed her career ever since ^^

Plus she's a Libra AND she's born just 3 days before me lol!

I have to say though her recent works have really been a hit or miss for me. Regardless I'm still a huge fan and will continue to follow her career!

[rinnie_chan]

I was a huuuuge fan of her! I loved her songs, esp. Dearest, No more words and Moments haha
But since I broke into the korean-music-generation I didn't really listen to her songs that often anymore....
But I still like her and her music though.


I've heard her left ear is deaf, ryt? Poor ayu ):
But she's still really hard working, ...she's really great!
I loove her eyes and I cant believe that she's 30 already!
she looks so youuung!

ITS HER TEN ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR!
and this is her special site
www.ayu10th.com


ayumi is the first J-pop artise who introduce me to J-pop and i love her ever since and will continue to support her ^^

and that recent news are there is this person she always regard as 'older-sister' and is very close to had passed away in an accident and it was really sad news...
and that she's is officially deaf @ the left ear. I'm was devasted..
i mean how heartbreaking can it be for a singer to be deaf. T_T
BUT she worked hard and continue for her fans, for her music despite the condition, and went to other countries for her tours and all.

I would say she is definetely someone worthy of respect in the music industry.

her 'SINGLE BEST ALBUM[A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~' will be released on 9/10
and the Limited edition comes with an Anniversary Box + 48pg unreleased single covers

here are some pictures of the unreleased works (small icon below is the one being released), and they are all so beautiful ^^

[Moon_Sprinkles]

I'v only just started listning to Ayu, her music is amazing! her music style reminds me of Gackt a lot, I just bought the Best black and white and i loved every song, which is amazing because usally an album i buy will have at least a couple of songs i don't like. (except Malice Mizer, i love all there songs too).
