Imagine if she started working with clearance clarity (Tina sawayama’s producer)

Ayu has nailed ethereal vibes throughout the span of her career. forgiveness, voyage, Free & Easy, walking proud, HEAVEN, Secret, BALLAD, Story, Shape of Love, You are the only one, etc. I definitely think it's a sound she should continue to embrace, as opposed to her run of the mill ballads (some of which I do like, but agree with others on the forum who describe them as samey).

Still waiting on a studio-version of her Haru Yo Koi cover. T_T

I've always wondered how Ayu would do with those sounds, I think I'd love to hear something like this!

Reading everyone's comments, I kept thinking 'oh YES that would be good too', which makes me think I would just love something very diverse.

I don't know why but NEXT LEVEL came to mind - it is by no mean my favourite album of hers but there just seems to be a variety that even RnRC didn't manage to achieve - bubbly pop, rocky numbers, whatever LOVE'n'HATE was, ballads, ...

I just remember listening to it for the first time and being like 'oh wow I guess it that kind of album now'.

The 'drought' (I know, very relative and I am NOT complaining, I have a million albums to listen to again in the mean time) used to make me think any content would be good news, but seeing how quickly I became tired of Ohia no Ki and how uninterested I am so far in Pray for you, I just hope that whatever album comes next has some good variety so I can be sure there is something to cater to my taste.

Imagine she start making a new album lol At this point I’ll take anything. I really hope we get to see a full album someday. I don’t know what to expect, but probably a varied album. Some rock, some pop, some ballads... if you think about it, all her albums have that in common. Even colours.


YES.

I know she's a pop singer but someday I'd love to see her commit to a rock album. But that is truly just a dream.

Me and other people on Twitter were talking about how messy the (miss)understood covers were and I made a fake one with some picture from the making of (the picture was featured on a TA magazine) and people really liked it lol so I also wanted to share it here :yes

The Plastic Hearts era is here, folks.

That's cute! But I feel like the (miss)understood covers are a cultural reset tbh lol

^Well yeah lol I love the meme material as you can see on my avatar lol but I feel we didn't get enough pics with this amazing look, such a waste! haha

summerain I'd love it tbh Plastic Hearts is one of my favorite albums now and Ayu doing something more rockish again (I consider I Am... and RAINBOW her most "rockish" eras for some reason lol) would be awesome! Imagine Ayu and Kuu doing something like Miley and Dua did for Prisoner, people would go nuts :laugh

Her most rockish era from her was GUILTY imo, but it falls flat listening to it nowadays. I'd like to hear a more mature take of that type of sound.

Does anyone know the last time Ayu did a multiple day video shoot? I’m curious lol.


Also, I wish she’d collab with female artists. I really want to know why she doesn’t...

[QUOTE=tokyoxjapanxfan;3335243]Does anyone know the last time Ayu did a multiple day video shoot? I’m curious lol.

Probably "Winter diary", in 2016?

honestly that's such a better cover that more effectively conveys the misunderstood-ness(?) that she meant! your cover art has honestly been amazing. I loved the masked covers you did a while back, and your current avatar is just perfect reaction material :luv2

as for (miss)understood, I didn't like the covers in the beginning, but they somehow grew on me and I liked them for their weird idiosyncrasies now lol, especially after reading that interview where she revealed why she liked these shots (particularly the awkward smile on the CD-only cover).

Oh :( Ayu’s dog Choco has died. So sad when a pet passes...

Oh no... I'm so sorry for her loss :(

Very sad but I was surprised that he lived for 22years! That's almost a miracle in dog years

Same here! Does chihuahua has longer life normally?

ˆ Didn't knew but it is said that can live for around 20 years!

That is a very long time! Especially when you put it in the perspective of her dog being around since almost her debut. Choko has been with her through a lot of major life moments for Ayu so I can only imagine how hard this must be for her.
