Ayu was already huge when "evolution" came out, so it certainly wasn't her original signature song - time kinda turned it into that.

Before "evolution" it was definitely "SEASONS," not even a question. Fans and the general public alike lost their minds when that song came out. It was EVERYWHERE.

"Dearest," since it was another personal nostalgic ballad and a tv anime theme, seemed like it would usurp evolution at the time of its release, but over the years it's faded into the background for the general public - while still being hugely popular among people who listen to ayu regularly - and "evolution" has gradually come out on top.

If ayu hadn't continued her career past LOVEppears, "LOVE~Destiny~" would probably be her signature song. It was a drama theme, written by tsunku, a ballad, and her first #1 single.
