I think it's been a long time since she's actually been asked, but I remember she was extremely pleased with MY STORY saying it was one of her most honest, and she was pretty happy with Secret. I guess whatever she's done the most recently is her real favourite because it applies most to her present time, so its so relatable.

Owh, and also, at Ayu latest message on TA blog, she said that RnRC is her best album she'd ever done. I think every album, she thought is the most she like..

Artists always say their recent album is their favorite one.

But I think every time, they speak the truth!
I mean we just.. listen to it, but they put sooo much time and effort in it, and they spend hours upon hours writing and recording.. so in the end they're probably very happy with it!

I remember Hikki saying Ultra Blue is her favorite album right after it came out, and she was like "no I'm not just saying that, it's true!"

I believe them :)

Q: Which of your songs are you proudest of?
Ayu: I always like whatever I did most recently. It's the closest to who I am at the moment.

Time-interview, quite old, just thought I'd drop it by...

Ayu actually addressed this in an interview a while back and she says Secret or ASFXX was her favorite album.

MYSELF & MY MUSIC
Hamasaki Ayumi’s music has been described as “revolutionary”. We heard her views about this.

“In truth, I never planned to revolutionize anything, nor did I work to create things to be popular or fashionable. I’ve always been doing things the same way in these past 15 years, which is to use my personal experience to create music. I believe that I’m very lucky to be able to touch fans’ hearts through music, to create a bond between us. I feel honoured to be named as a “revolutionary”.”

Of all the albums she had released, it was hard for her to pick out a favourite. But if she had to choose, she would pick 8th album “Secret”, released in 2006, or 1st album “A Song for XX”. The reason was that her debut album was a totally new experience for her, and having to sing, write, and create MVs on her own was exhilarating.

When we asked her if she had any passions aside from music, she paused for a moment before replying “No”.

“I don’t know how I should answer this question, but nothing can compare to music. It holds the highest position in my heart, and nothing else can move me so much, or bring me such joy. However, if I really had to pick, I’ll choose gourmet. I enjoy good food and wine. However, music still holds top position.”
