I was hooked in Japan on Ayumi, since A Song for XX came out (stationed alone at NAF Atsugi) She's my favorite, because she opened my music to explore other music, other than the music I grew up with...as far as, Asia is concerned. She is my musical hero and will alway's have a place in my heart, because of that. I was at Tsutaya Records Yamato-shi, when I purchased this album of her.
