But I do think something from each era is better than just one song... she is so diverse in her music just something from one song or even one album wouldn't be a true representation of her work.
And although all the songs you picked are really really good... I dont feel they are diverse enough.

Well if it was about diversity I would throw in more variety but with all the people who have heard Ayu and who have liked her along with me, always like the rock songs. It was always my safe bet. I mean it's hard to see the magic in some of her more abstract earlier works when you aren't completely mesmerized by her/a fan. But for "normal" everyday/mainstream American people, I think they would find the songs I selected great. It's not completely off the wall, but it is different enough from what they hear over here to make them say "wow, that is actually pretty cool"
TOP 5 examples:
Moments
STEP you
my name's WOMEN
About you
is this LOVE?
in that order.
I feel if they don't like those songs, they sure as Hell won't like the other more strange stuff. I would choose examples that you wouldn't expect to hear from someone known as "a Japanese popstar" - if they don't show interest right off the bat (say they aren't already fans of J-Pop or interested in asian music) then I wouldn't feel as comfortable bringing out Sunrise or the other stuff you'd "expect" from "J-POP" -
I would want to take their expectations and turn them upside down.
