I think most people still do like it other than certain parts during the chorus.

I totally LOVE this post. I always thought Tell All was awesome, but now I've got some of the deepness behind it and I feel like it has already grown even more in me hahahah thanks a lot for this :)

I love when I don't listen to a song for a while, and then randomly play it, and it reignites my love for it. The most recent song this happened with is my name's WOMEN. Started playing it to get pumped for the concert, and now I'm really looking forward to it being performed! :D

I was on Buzzfeed today and noticed they had an article/list on Emo Lyrics You Can Relate To In Your 20s and it made me wish there would be an Ayu article on there.

(I think they had a pretty good Mariah lyrics list/article too)

It happens to me quite often and I love it too! :) Sometimes I leave my iTunes on shuffle mode and I discover beautiful gems in her discography, like ever free, theme of a-nation '03, HAPPY ENDING (songs that I probably listened to only once a few years ago and didn't pay much attention).

I think of all the songs that has just out of the blue captured my attention recently has definitely been SEASONS. I never hated this song but I never loved it. I kind of thought it was boring. But, listening to her version of it on A Ballads, I suddenly love it. Like...enough so that I want to keep listening to it. XD

The A BALLADS one is SOOO good. I felt the same as you about SEASONS and then it just like became cemented in my mind as a lovely track. So perfect on days with nice weather.

Does anyone have the translation of one of Max's blog entries about Ayu? I'm not thinking about the one he wrote about the Fairyland PV but the one where he mentions people telling him "Don't invest in this Ayu girl..advertisers won't like her face..tv stations won't want her to perform.."

I think someone translated it back when it was posted. I think it was in the Ayu celeb news forum.

It's funny looking back... I wonder if those people were angry at themselves or admitted they were wrong post-debut.

Yes, you are my soul twin. I can't believe it's the song I look forward to more than any other right now. It's just so...melancholy with a hopeful melody to it.

I am also stuck on Two of Us. I prefer HAL's mix but I can stand the original.

Listened to NEXT LEVEL (album) today, I'd forgotten how deep her voice got around that time. I'd listened to some of A ONE before and it really surprised me. When I'm not in an 'Ayu mood' it's only really Loveppears/Duty/I am... stuff that's on playlists so A ONE didn't seem that high, but woah, listening to NEXT LEVEL was surprising.

I got that PS2 Ayu game today!!!!
$5
She's aslo selling the missunderstood tour photobook for $40. Is that a good price?

Not really.

^ thanks!
You saved me a trip back to where it's being sold

No prob, bae. There's a few of them on Y!J right now actually.

It got really deep during GUILTY era. But GREEN you can really tell as well. I actually adore her voice in GREEN. It didn't sound damaged. To me, it sounded more natural for her.

What game is that? I'd be way curious to see it! :D

It's a "DOME TOUR 2001" themed 'game'. I think it was called A VISUAL MIX or something and had various angles of that tour along with some other things.

I don't even know what to expect
It's 2 discs

I've been really into vogue and ourselves lately. I love how she has such an extensive discography that I can keep rotating different songs in and out and never get tired of them!
