NEVER EVER "nicely nice hot stab remix" :laugh

ah, but I really do enjoy the nicely nice remixes. The remix of Key is really calming and lovely.

Did DAISHI DANCE really make all those songs?? I knew about I miss you and on re-listen, Nemurenu Yoru no Sei de and With U definitely sound like his products, but Emotion doesn't really sound much like DD (like, where's the piano??). If he did do Emotion, good for him, I love that song!

Anyway, I'm also disheartened about the general attitude towards him. I get that not everyone will like his style (and he has a very distinct style, all the more helpful in alienating people), but calling him a talentless one-trick pony is a bit too much. Many people seem to like Sayonara though, so maybe that song will change some attitudes (I wish I could be enthusiastic too, but I haven't liked his move to a more EDM direction too much, I prefer his traditional house style).



Another topic: can we discuss (again) how amazing NO FUTURE is? I've been listening to it almost every single day since A ONE came out, and I'm impressed every time. Never has her voice slayed me to this extent in a studio recording, she really gets to go OFF in this song! So much power, so much emotion, such a great melody and amazing song. :heart:heart (Also, I know the dated 90s-synth arrangement bothers some people, but isn't it sort of thematically appropriate for a song called NO FUTURE? At least that's how it struck me.)

I'm probably the biggest DAISHI stan here. Apparently it's because his music is too "same-y" lol but for me, I love piano + string + house arrangements so his music is my cup of tea. But the reaction to Sayonara has been pretty good so I guess he's doing it right this time for non-DAISI fans.

I always figured that everyone would love Daishi Dance or be excited about his collabs with Ayu.

I don't know much of his stuff apart from WIFL, Mika's Memory and I Miss You but I thought the nostalgic style of his songs would suit Ayu perfectly. Admittedly his Heaven remix doesn't do much for me, but other than that I like what I hear!

I love NO FUTURE! It's my favorite song on A ONE and I have been listening to it on repeat constantly when the album was released.
Everything about that song is just perfect:love
I need to listen to it again now :yes

Don't care about those. Ayu's discography will be forever incomplete until she releases Egg.

Finally ordered on amazon a all region dvd player. As soon as it gets here I am watching some ayu dvd that I had for a while and have been unable to play because my computer, which used to let me play this dvds, all of a sudden went crazy and now won't let me play a thing!

I think I am going to start with Ayu's Arena Tour 2000 vol 1 & 2 and work my way to more recent concerts. :luv2

^^ Cool! I didn't even know those existed!

Any recommendations on Duty (the song) remixes? I realised I really love the song after the concert, but I'm not too fond of the original arrangement :D

^Eric Kuppers big room remix found on the SURREAL single.

The girlish remix on ayu-mi-x III Non-Stop is really good.

I've decided just out of pure spontaneity that I want to create a villain in one of my stories that looks like Ayu. I need to decide which look of hers is the most villain worthy. :D

Duty (Love Mix) from SUPER EUROBEAT VOL. 120 (DISC 3) -SPECIAL DISC-

It's not the same version that appears on the ayu-ro mix albums, and it's 10x better!

Of course Ayu ended up putting a sixth song on sixxxxxx, but I wonder what it is. She hinted at only five songs till now.

Hilarious upload covering ganguro girls.

MezamashiTV + Ganguro Girls!

The girl on the left has 4 or 5 Ayupan IN HER NAILS!

Those nails deserve an award.

In case anyone just wants the nails.

Holy moly. That is extreme.

^horrible

How come i don't have this one on my computer? I thought i had all her remixes but it seems that i'm wrong, meh.

I just noticed if you type avex.jp/ayu into the google search bar it asks:
did you mean: avex.jp/aaa ouch lol
