Ya...I guess I'm one of those who worship the ground Ayu the goddess walks
on (^^") Maybe that's why I put in all my life energy to construct my shrine
for Ayu---AYUppears.
I didn't started out this way though...I used to hate her and attack her. I
thought her voice sounds similar to the lead singer of ELT, which is
something that I didn't particularly like then.
Few months later, one of my friend show up with an Ayu hairstyle ^^" (the
short reddish one for the momo no tennensui commercial)She bugged me into
downloading some ayu songs. That's when I heard "LOVE~destiny"...
umm...THAT SONG IS GREAT!!!! I mean, I love the piano intro @__@. It's one
of those song that has a slight melancholic feeling blending in and out. It
reminds me of "First Love". (Utada Hikaru, of course)..and it's the only
song other than "first love" that caught me totally the first time I heard
it. The feeling is almost magical. I noticed that her voice sounds different
than the impression I've made of her long ago. It has the power to melt my
feeling, as a listener.
Then I heard boys and girls. kyaaaaaa this song rulz too!! the funny thing
is ever since I'm brainwashed by "love~destiny," I started to look at her
from a new point of view. I start to like all her songs from LOVEppears
,which personally I got two copies..one Japanese release and one Avex Taiwan release. This album presents something totally different than her first album. It's more passionate, and has more struggles within. You can clearly
hear it in her voice. Also the cover, ya, that "nude" pic..^^" you can tell that she isn't trying to be sexy or anything. It just show certain level of awareness and understanding of---herself. I guess it's her uniqueness that really impress me a big time...........
not to mention her ability of writing lyrics.......her lyric really touches the feeling deep inside. It expresses herself. There's no lies or imaginary stuff in the lyric, as she recalls herself. Just by thinking how much she must
have went through in her life to get the experience and the ability to
write lyrics like that...it makes me...respect this girl even more.
I guess the next unique thing about Ayu is her normal talking
voice. I've some trouble trying to link her face with her normal talking voice at first ^^;;;;.
I thought she fakes her voice to be flat and cute..but then it turns out
that's how she really sounds. ^^".That's kinda special isn't it..? lately I
really develop an love for her talking voice~kawaii!!!!!!!!
Also, the way she talks in interview is interesting too. I doubt that people really understands what she's saying..^^" she talks "deep". She uses so many examples and "unrelated things" when she's talking. And she talks slow, compare to other Jpop artist (ya, compare to Hikki).... I guess some ppl
might lost their patient, but I like that. You can actually learn something from her. Her talking shows that she's not
those shallow type of person and she really does have a interesting point of view.Oh sometimes she says stuff that makes ya laugh ur head of...

YES, I do have to express my thoughts about her singing
voice, too.
it's great! Her singing voice and techniques changes for several time
from "A Song For XX" to "LOVEppears". From A Song For XX,
Ayu's voice is soft but clear. It has a healing power to it. To me, it's almost
sounds like a friend who will sooth your feeling when you are alone or hurt.
From LOVEppears Ayu learned more techniques and express her voice in a different
way than before. At some part she's using this shout-like voice to express
strong feelings. Powerful stuff. Another side of Ayu appeared through her voice.
I think she has worked extra hard and she certainly achieved something.
Another important factor that contribute to my Ayumi addiction is---- I saw
a drama "Misennen" where Ayu took a role as a ballet dancer. Of course I didn't know it was Ayu right away, cuz she look so different with "real"
long hair.....and she's only around 15 then. She didn't get those super
duper important type of role, but she really act her own role out.
Basically, I'm impress by her acting skill as well......^^........
Last but not least.....her looks!!!! I think ever since Boys and Girls ayu's
really up to this fashion thingy...(she has always been a fashion leader
among High school girls in Japan though..)
Basically I really like her fake nails and hair extensions. Those kinda mark
as Ayumi's trade mark....^^" never seen an artist use those decorations as
much as Ayu does~~~(hitoe from SPEED's hair extension is sortta an
exception...)and I wonder if those stuff will look good on other
artists...(trying really hard to imagine Hikki dress up in an AYUish style)
YES, I have to mention her beautiful eyes and her baby face...(^__^)
It's balance out perfectly. I guess if you interview 10 Japenese ppl. At
least eight of them will tell ya they think Ayu-chan is really cute~and
they'll mention her eyes~~~
Aside from the fact that pair of eyes is "HUGE"~they also look bright and
alive...i mean...some ppl have large eyes but it gives them a "lost" and
"dead" look. (^^;;;)
no wonder why she's voted the millennium queen by Junon...beating Hikaru
Utada and Kyoko Fukada.
oh and check check check!!! Ayu always changes her style...you never
know what she's gonna show up with next time!!! Don't you think
this is cool and exciting? With Ayu you'll never get bored!! and all
those remixes too!!(oki all the sudden I'm jumping back to music)
I LOVE AYUMIXES!!! I think mixes are different from the original song.
It's sortta like a mother and son relation. The remixes "inherit"
characteristics from the mother-original mix and also develops its
own character and style. It's unique! It's a new experience!
It's stuff that makes you hyper!(and it's not drug) It's Ayu-mi-x!!!
Anyways...with all these...it makes you wonder wonder wonder...
wonder how the real Ayu is like.
Hey~Don't say I didn't warn you about this.
But it's a Ayumi complete takeover.........soon or later everyone
will go through the same brainwash process I went through......
her look.....
her voice....
her fashion...
her lyric....
her personality...
subete.......
sukisukisukisukisuki!!!!
love AYU~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
