Which ayu's songs fill you with nostalgia?

To me, all the songs in Ayu's fourth album "I am..." make me feel nostalgia for my old schooldays. Back then, I was still doing my secondary school and she was extremely influential and popular in Japan, nothing she released at that time failed to top the chart or sell well. Her most inspiring song to me is Dearest, the song gave me the strength and confidence when I most needed it, its kinda strange to put these into words, but it did makes me feel like the whole studies thing had somewhat transformed into the music industry so to speak and I felt like I was ayu conquering it. Anyway, pay no attention to this if you dont understand. But pls do leave your opinion on this topic.

You can say things bout which ayu songs actually impact or influence you the most.

Teddy Bear.

Days

TO BE. That song always makes me long for the old days *sigh* :)

RAINBOW for sure. And Voyage sometimes

rainy day, Endless sorrow, and Dearest

these are some of my first few ayu songs, so I always remember the first time listening to them

evolution, Voyage, Real Me, Dolls, Fly High

those songs reminds me the high-school days, during them I was listening to those songs uhm everyday? lol.

Endless Sorrow. And monochrome.

Heaven and Together when...

Blue Bird reminds me of the beach bonfire in 06 with my friends. Graduation~

HANABI reminds me of my ex years ago.

Evolution, lol childhood kinda~ lol

Endless sorrow, Dearest and especially Daybreak make me feel nostalgia.

Who...

I sang it on graduation

Right now, the only song I can say really fills me with nostalgia is It was. The funny thing is, I never really listened to it when it came out. I mean, I liked it a lot, I just never listened to it. And back when Secret came out, I was totally crazy about Ayu. I told all my friends several times a day for weeks prior to Secret's release how excited I was that she was releasing a new album. So at the moment, It was is sort of the only song I can listen to by Ayu because it really reminds me of the days when I was sooo in love with her music, but it's not one of the songs that I overplayed... So it's still sort of fresh to me, yet really nostalgic at the same time. :yes If that made ANY sense.

ayu-ro mix (especially the first one), kanariya "Jonathan Peters' Vocal Club Mix", appears "JP's Soundfactory Mix", ever free, SEASONS, teddy bear...and BLUE BIRD/NEXT LEVEL/It was (Island Mix) remind me of my summer vacation trip.

A Song for XX, reminds me of my High School era.

fairyland
Happy Ending
step YOU
monochrome (ayu-ro extended mix)

those are some of the first songs I've ever heard from ayu :D

HANABI, still alone and rainy day :)

the entire LOVEppears album

A Song For XX, POWDER SNOW, Trust, SURREAL, Far Away, End Roll. All her haunting songs from early on in her career.

Pretty much everything from the A BEST era and earlier get me nostalgic for high school, when I first discovered Ayu. Man, hard to believe that was nearly 10 years ago now!

NEVER EVER, Endless sorrow, HAPPY ENDING, HOPE or PAIN

JEWEL
- When my sis was engaged

HONEY and Replace
- Remembering my early High School days

A Song for XX
- My first Ayu song I've downloaded and listened to

"Endless Sorrow". The song reminds me of the time I "met" Ayu for the first time more than eight years ago.

But also "Dearest", "teddy bear" and "CAROLS".

dearest - my childhood days ~ i remember when i was a kid.. talking bout inuyasha with my schoolmates :D
Voyage - this song is nostalgic too~
BLUE BIRD - started my jhs memories~
GUILTY album - my friends knows im an Ayu Fan since this album
NEXT LEVEL - this album released 3 months before my graduation day so for me, my NEXT LEVEL is senior high XD

but well.. dearest is the most nostalgic song in my life, ever!! :)

Dearest, Jewel, Love ~Destiny~...
Those are my first ayu songs...^^

It's usually fairyland, immature, and monochrome.
Those songs always make me think of my childhood, especially immature. XD

the whole ASFXX album.. i remember listening to it when i was really young in my CD player when i went on a trip, i always think back to that time whenever i listen to it

and also Endless sorrow, CAROLS, RAINBOW, Memorial address, HEAVEN

Who..., TO BE, Key ~eternal tie ver.~, and possibly RAINBOW and WE WISH. Haha, WE WISH because it was the first ever Ayu song that I listened to and loved.

no more words also has a similar effect.

Trauma and Fly high because I listened to them a lot when I studied for exams.

Right now, SCAR.
People change so much, we hurt each other, and finally drift apart. The song really
conveys that feeling well.

Because of You... right now, because i love someone but it's painful as it can't be.
monochrome for the same reason; its a break up song :P

No more words, because it was one of the songs that I listened the hell out of, back when I discovered her as a 15-year old in 2003. Sweet memories are attached to that song.

evolution and HEAVEN were the first songs that i heard from ayu .. :)

Life makes me sooo sad, it sounds so nostalgic... theme of a nation 03 too.

Most of the songs in A Best album.. During my secondary schools days I was listening n depending on it...... those were the memories......

untitled ~for her~(really touched my heart with the lyric)
forgiveness (same as above)
Happy Ending (same as above)
evolution (the first PV of Ayu songs I've watched)
Trauma (the first performance of Ayu I've watched)

I'd have to say Sparkle. The promiscuous days of my youth. Having sex with "all the hot boys and girls".

haha jk. not relly any song since I don't know the lyrics. I mean, I can always look them up, but I never remember them. just that one part from sparkle. XD

Sunrise
fairyland
a song is born
no more words
endless sorrow
beautiful day
still alone
daybreak
Rainbow
hanabi (and episode II)
forgiveness
theame of a-nation '03
everlasting dream
All of the HAL interludes
winding road

Boys & Girls, Evolution, Dearest

definately dearest.....when i first heard it on inuyasha, i started my search to find that artist...and found ayu!

End Roll remembers me my first love story ending
Dearest/HEAVEN all my dears dead, especially my Dad
Teddy Bear my dad again
GLITTER was the period since i met my hubby

Heh, I'm so feeling ancient right now ....

Jpop for me started with people named Seiko, Akina, Checkers and the annual Red and White Show. I only remember them cos of the cassettes I have left from that era. Speed, TRF and Namie followed, I remember Poker Face vaguely but I will never forget the song and PV of You.
I kinda lost track of Ayu till the Miss(understood) aibum and B&D was released. I came across it and bought it out of curiosity. Slowly but surely, Ayu was back in my life and now keeps my iPod real busy and almost at full capacity.

Life...

*sigh* i can barely hear 10 seconds into the song without yearning for the past =(

all her songs in (miss)understood album...

Most of her songs lol xD especially the pre-secret ones.

Same, taht was the first Ayu album I brought. :D

Step you and july 1st

You

Trust, Trauma, and momentum.

I'm glad they're attached to good memories, tho :love

End roll (NEURO-mantic Mix) always gets me nostalgic. I used to play that song CONSTANTLY when I first started listening to Ayu. And POWDER SNOW, because I remember telling ALL of my friends about it. I didn't care if they liked Ayu or not, I made them listen to it because she sounded so emotional in the song, it made me cry.

"Dearest" reminds me of my senior year and all the bittersweet memories that I associate with it.

"Duty" reminds me of high school in general.

"Connected" ....awww...my first boyfriend.

Dearest -- It was the first song by Ayu that I ever heard.
no more words -- The second song I ever heard, and my favorite ever since I heard it.
SEASONS -- My first single. :P
TO BE "AOV" (from SEASONS single)
ever free "HAL'S MIX 2000"

And Then gives me a little nostalgia. I heard it when I was still discovering Ayu, and it wasn't from either the I am... or RAINBOW album, so it was "out of place," but I loved it. And theme of a-nation '03 gives me little nostalgia, but mostly because that's the "style"of the song.

Everything from the RAINBOW album gives me nostalgia. It was my first album and every single song from that album holds a special place in my heart...

At the moment:

-ever free
-A Song for XX "Ferry Corsten Chilled mix" (From "Cyber TRANCE presents ayu trance")
-Dearest "Acoustic Piano Version"
-End roll
-Heartplace
-HANABI
-Sunset ~LiA~

LOVEppears.
The whole album, seriously.
I feel so much younger when I listen to that album.

SEASONS, TO BE, A Song For XX.

oh geez, her entire i am album! when i listent o it, it brings back so many childhood memories that i miss.

The 4 consecutive singles; M, evolution, NEVER EVER & Endless sorrow

Reminds me of the carefree days that I've had in Secondary School, how they cemented my appreciation for all things Ayumi, and how I learnt Japanese to appreciate her lyrics (as my mum's Japanese friends had told me that her lyrics were really inspirational).

And M appeared again during my first breakup; "Beginnings come at random, but endings have a reason".

NEVER EVER, still alone, End Roll, and Dearest. they were my first Ayu songs and remind me of all i was going through at that time.

"RAINBOW" since it was the first song of hers that I heard. That and like the entire "LOVEppears" album because it was my first album of hers that I bought. :heart

Dearest -- same here ^^ hehe..
no more words -- second song I ever heard (inuyasha 1st movie ending)
Who... -- first time ever I saw Ayu (@youtube)
A Song for XX -- i fell in love with her lyrics and the passionate way of singing this song
