blood type
Ketsuekigata is the study of personality analysis based on one's blood type. This belief originates in Asia and remains strong there today, which explains why blood type is an essential part of Ayu's and many other Japanese public figure's promotional profiles.
According to the study, those with type A blood -- like Ayu -- are very considerate of other people. In addition, they are very loyal and honest, something Ayu's career has come to embody--certainly anyone who listens to her lyrics can attest to that.
However, like anyone else, type A is not without its negative traits; such people are notorious for being secretive and even pessimistic. Although Ayu has shown signs of these negatives like anyone else, they can hardly be considered a handicap. As we have seen through her music, she is capable of overcoming most hurdles put before her--whether they be placed there by an outside force or herself.
