SEASONS
 
Haha, yes, you thought this was going to be a thread dedicated to the song, didn't you? Well, I guess it could also be that - in fact, let's just take a moment to let it sink in. How good is SEASONS, huh? (It was my first Ayu song!)

Anyway, the aim of this thread is different. If you were to make a compilation album for every season, what would these look like? There's of course a WINTER BALLAD SELECTION as well as a RAINY DAY SELECTION, but I'm talking true seasonal - and of course, for winter you wouldn't necessarily need to only include ballads. Depends entirely on your definition of winter.

To kickstart things, a few possible album covers. I am also setting to work on some selections :)

Thinking about songs with explicit themes of spring or just the feeling of it (the mood of the arrangements that fits the season):

A SEASONS: SPRING
01 NEXT LEVEL
02 YOU (10th Anniversary Version)
03 SEASONS ''2003 ReBirth Mix''
04 petal
05 Haru yo, Koi
06 SAKURA
07 Shape of love
08 Sweet Season (I know it's supposed to be a mellow summer song, but the sound of it brings me almost-summer-but-still-spring vibes)
09 Sweet scar
10 winding road (LOVE CLASSICS ver.)

Nice, I'm going to put these in a playlist and give it a spin!

I edited with the LOVE CLASSICS ver. of winding road, I prefer it to the original haha You should give it a try, if you didn't listen to it yet.

Just queued the whole thing and listening to it now, NEXT LEVEL is an excellent opener already!

I'm gonna make it into a Spotify playlist and using your artwork, if you don't mind.

sxesven 13th July 2022 08:26 PM

Of course, go for it!

Just listened to it, it's great, I'm going to give it a bunch more spins! Also made me very aware I had not listened to A Song for ×× and that I totally should revisit it, and that there are soooooooooo many gems hidden throughout Ayu's discography, it's insane!

Also, I had listened to it with the original versions of YOU and SEASONS, but I'm going to do the next round with the proper versions you listed.

If you'd care to share your playlist link here that would be dope too!

I just threw together the stuff that makes me think of autumn. Tried to make it flow but I'm not sure. Some of the songs may not be actually about autumn but i'm going by the vibe they give me, or the imagery they create in my head.
  • Return Road
  • Endless Sorrow
  • MOON
  • Heartplace
  • I am...
  • Missing
  • Sorrows
  • November
  • Merry-go-round
  • Sayonara
  • Angel
  • Surreal
  • Memorial Address
  • Mad World
  • crossroads
  • Mirrorcle world
  • count down
  • Last Minute
  • A song for XX (A ballads version)
  • Daybreak
  • HANABI ~epII~
  • RAINBOW

This is 100% key imo, the actual themes don't really matter (of course, some may frown upon placing something like July 1st not in a SUMMER playlist, but then what do we really care what others frown upon?).

Going to give yours a spin as well!

Loving the idea for this thread! In fact, I've been quite obsessed creating playlists trying to find out how it would sound as it were an album... =D
