The 2003 Japan music awards were aired a day or two ago (when Ayu won for Noway to say) and I felt so nostalgic haha

Wondering if I renew my TA membership or not... Any suggestions?

^ If u're not planning to go to her tour(s) next year it's totally not worth the money lol Unless you buy the TA editions of her CD's/DVD's?

Ayu ranked number 29 on Recochoku's top 100 artists of 2016!
A Best at number 55 of top 100 albums & A Complete at #74.

I think that the song "Me & my girls" from Selena Gomez really fits ayu's style. Like, she would nail it. I can't stop picturing her performing it in japanese, right after Ladies Night, doing some awkward dance lol

Hmm. I don't know. To me it sounds more like a Koda Kumi or Namie Amuro track, not Ayu.:think
I wouldn't want Ayu to do anything Selena Gomez related.:laugh

Who has someone in their life that reminds them of these lyrics?

Oh good god no. Sounds like I'm sitting at a child's birthday party and all them little shits won't stop blowing those damn party horns. This is exactly the stuff I never want ayu to make. It's just damn annoying.

If anything, ayu fits more with Selena's "Naturally," which, in direct opposition to everything on Revival, was an absolute smash, and an orgasmic pleasure to listen to.

I liked when Ayu had short hair in the 90s and 2000s but not this decade.:shrug
Power of Music is such a standout. Sadly it doesn't get appreciated because it isn't as flashy visually, as many other concerts. It is a shame.:(

Yep, I don't know why but the cut was just slightly off last time she had it. The evolution hair is so iconic and I love it. I take a picture of it to the hairdressers with me when I go for short hair!

Secret and GUILTY were releases what made me quite uninterested in ayu. I really didn't like them! I didn't like even booklets.

The first album I was there was I am... and then RAINBOW released. RAINBOW was also a dissappointment for me haha. But then MY STORY released and I totally loved it.

You too?! I did that the last time I got my hair cut short haha

Kind of blurry but this was my hair! I'm growing my hair again to donate when I go for another big hair cut next year or the year after I think.

Your hair looks amazing! Very Evolution!

On another note the A7 Classical ver of No Future is soooo good! A7 is my favourite classical album of Ayu's despite the mixing issues.

I just can't get past the mixing issue unfortunately. I don't feel like "I'm there" when I listen to the tracks. It's quite disappointing and such a shame.

^I guess we're unlikely to ever get a remastered version huh? I'm one of those people who didn't really notice the mixing issues in the past but I really noticed it here!

Aw, so cute! Such a perfect Ayu-style cut haha

Also what are the mixing issues with A7 Classical? I haven't listened to it much so I haven't really noticed

Seriously. The mixing of that album is the worst she've ever had.
