After listening to GREEN, I happened upon the pretty obvious realization that Ayu has released a LOT of songs in her long career spanning several different genres, different imagery, etc. So I thought ranking your top 10 Ayu songs at this point would be a fun but maybe challenging exercise. They can be any orignal songs released, be they exclusive to singles, compilation albums, anything. Even remixes if you feel so inclined. So let's see what everyone thinks!

For me...

1.) evolution - one of the first Ayu songs I ever heard, for me it's a classic. I found it before I knew any Japanese but it still sent chills down my spine.
2.) SURREAL - sweet song structure, fast melody, and dramatic ending.
3.) alterna - she really needs to try this sort of music more.
4.) M - love how it goes from foreboding to melancholically danceable.
5.) I am... - best. lyrics. ever. And they go so well with the music.
6.) And Then - underrated.
7.) Naturally - the random pauses in the music and percussion are way cool.
8.) everywhere nowhere - i love how the slow and disinterested verses juxtapose with the insanely bubblegum chorus.
9.) Depend on You - one of her catchiest and most identifiable melodies.
10.) STEP you - just really fresh and original sounding.
