Rank the Albums!
 

I'm sure this has been done sometime before, but I love threads like this, so I'm going to make a new one just in case:innocent . Basically, just rank Ayu's studio albums (plus Memorial Address, if you'd like) in the order of your preference! I've seen other threads like this for different artists, and it's always been interesting to see whaht people think. This is my list at the moment, but it changes from time to time :D .

I am...
Secret
(miss)understood
RAINBOW
Duty
Memorial Address
A Song for XX
LOVEappears
MY STORY

That said, I loved all of these albums. Although the ones at the top got there because i really think they're nearly flawless, I picked the ones on the bottom to go their because i don't like the style Ayu was going with on those album. I'd be less general, but I'm about to go to sleep :D. Please list your albums from favorite to least favorite, too!

I picked Duty as favourite because for me Ayu is not Ayu without this (and so on) :)

Although I dont like endless sorrow -gone with the wind- version, but I chose I am... as my top fav ayu album because theres b&d in (miss) understood. If it wasnt there, that would be my fav album.

1) (miss)understood good variation | worst cover
2) Secret quality-songs | not enough songs
3) I am... classic crea-hits | too little rock
4) MY STORY quantity | easy videos
5) RAINBOW easy-to-listen | not-so-variated
6) Memorial address unique tracks | mini-album
7) Duty ahead of it's time | not perfectly produced
8) LOVEppears dancy | too plain
9) A Song for XX the roots | squeeky voice

9 - A Song for XX

LOVEppears Has the deepest lyrics and album theme. Contradiction between the surface and the truth--represented by "LOVE" "ppear" where the missing 'a' symbolizes the apparent of everything. It is an extremely philosophic album.

Secret Secrets that don't want to be known. What are they? Album of reborn.

I am... The questioning of "who am I?" I am a product or human? What a deep title. Almost all classic songs are here.

Duty Has The duty of the pop singer "ayumi hamasaki" .The
answer can be found in this album. Super masterpiece SEASONS and greatly produced songs.


(miss)understood misunderstood or understood. Which one do you want to be?

MY STORY The whole story of the "singer" "ayumi hamasaki".

Memorial Address The farewell to the past self. What are waiting for me in the future?

RAINBOW We have dreams and dreams are surely to come true. The bright future is just like rainbow

A Song for XX A direct scream of loneliness and uneasiness. The momentary future is scary. Can I trust it?



I just listed all her albums' main theme(confined by her in magazines). I find out that I can't choose between them.
