Ayu-Vogue Network

Site Info

The Ayu-Vogue Net­work began as a fan­site titled “Vogue” and hosted by the Peach-Arrow Net­work. It was first opened to the pub­lic in August 2004, and has been con­stantly updated and revised in the years since. The domain name Ayu-Vogue.net was pur­chased in May 2006.

Since it was first unveiled as Vogue in 2004, the Ayu-Vogue Net­work has been writ­ten, designed, and admin­is­trated by Stacey (yours truly). Although it no longer shares a URL, Ayu-Vogue is still a well-loved part of the Peach-Arrow Net­work of domains and silly fansites.

The Ayu-Vogue Net­work is designed using Adobe prod­ucts includ­ing Pho­to­shop, Illus­tra­tor, and Dreamweaver. For more infor­ma­tional sources, please see the cred­its.

About the Administrator

I am a twen­tysome­thing located in the USA, thus the site is mostly writ­ten from such a prospec­tive (this is espe­cially notable for the shop­ping rec­om­men­da­tions). I design and main­tain web sites as a hobby (with the help of my Ayu-loving dog, left) while attend­ing a undis­closed uni­ver­sity. I just wrapped up two under­grad­u­ate majors, and I’ll be ship­ping off to grad­u­ate school in the fall.

In addi­tion to the Ayu-Vogue Net­work, I main­tain the Final Fan­tasy VII fan domain Midgar-Rock.org and their par­ent domain Peach-Arrow.net.

My love for Ayu began in 1999 shortly after the release of her sin­gle TO BE. One of my friends hap­pened to have copy of the sin­gle sent to her by rel­a­tives in Japan, and she insisted that I lis­ten to it. It was noth­ing short of love at first lis­ten, and I set off to learn every­thing I could about this great artist who spoke in words I couldn’t under­stand but some­how touched my heart. The more I’ve learned about this artist over my near-decade-long love affair, the more I’ve come to appre­ci­ate and admire her. Time and time again she has shown that she is some­one who stands for what she believes in no mat­ter what. She has con­structed a cre­ative empire with her own hands, and I can think of no other artist who is so con­sis­tent in pro­duc­ing both qual­ity and quan­tity. I will always be proud to call myself a fan of Ayumi Hamasaki.
