Producers/acts you would like Ayu to work with~
 

It's been a long time since SWEETBOX and I wouldn't mind if Ayu worked with some known producers/composers. I would love Ayu x The XX, I can imagine Ayu singing a lullaby type song over music like this


Also Japanese band Boris, i think it could work well~

Nah, I disagree, Ayu is totally wrong for The XX.

Trying to sing something in their style would seriously overemphasise how squeaky she can be, even with her current vocals. She isn't mellow enough.

Tak Matsumoto.. Nuff said.

Another DAISHI DANCE remix kbai

YuriChan knows who I'm gonna say, and naturally, she's already said it! :)

I'd like to see ayu do at least one proper 100% rock album. Just honest, catchy, emotional, raw, powerful music with REAL instrumentation. Well-produced but charmingly rough around the edges. I would LOVE to see Ayu do this. And a collaboration with Tak Matsumoto would be amazing for this.

I also wouldn't mind seeing her collaborate with the guys from Monkey Majik for another sort of approach. Songs like "call" and "Letter" and "count down" and "It was" and "Love song" make me think she could do that pretty well.

My dream collaboration would be Ayu and Kuu. If they formed a group, kinda like how Namie joined Suite Chic, I bet their popularity would increase. I can dream... :smitten

I would love for Ayu to collaborate with them as well. Having listened to the music they have composed and produced for other artist; not to mention Blaise's and Maynard's solo work and Monkey Majik's own body of work and remixes they have done, a collaboration with Ayu should be a piece of cake for all sides to create something solid and well polished.

COMPLEX's Hotei Tomoyasu would do something epic if not amazing with ayumi since he's legendary royalty in the industry with him being part of 1 of the most influential JRock bands ever aka BOØWY

If not , his counterpart Himuro Kyosuke is another great choice if ayumi wants to continue doing rock music in her future works

If all else , capsule's Nakata Yasutaka , please ! that guy is a genius in almost everything he does for other artistes >_<

Oh man I would LOVE to see ayu collaborate with anyone from BOOWY! That would be so freaking cool. Ayu likes classic rock too so it would probably be a very fruitful collaboration, it seems like she'd feel comfortable with that sound.

how about Ayumi Hamasaki + Johnnnys Entertainment (JE) heheheh
i want to see ayu collab with her ex boy friend Tomoya nagase (tokio) or Arashi
but i also want to see her making collaboration with Mr. children .....
or Dj Bass (soul scream) i think she should make another rap album with DJ bass (remember her EP "Nothing from Nothing")

how bou if ayu+lin kin park or evanessence...
loll

I'd like her to work with Daisuke Asakura but it's not probable since she hasn't worked with him already.

I kinda want Ayu to collaborate with Yasutaka Nakata like how Ami Suzuki did...

... That would be so amazing. This x1000. :love

i was gonna say the same thing, but was afraid of the hate i might receive! haha!

I don't think I'd mind that! But I don't really like the slightly more organic route he's been taking with capsule & Perfume lately... Not sure he's in the phase of his career where he's at his best anymore. =\

As you wish.
