It was so much fun to read your post! Talk about a trip down to memory lane lol, and it's also nice to see a familiar face from the golden years of AHS
I'm glad you were able to rediscover Ayu's discography and to listen to the masterpiece that is "You were...". My mind is blown every time I listen to it.
There are some albums by her that I can't listen to because I'm too used to the albums I love the most, such as I am..., LOVEppears, the ayu-mi-x II albums, etc. Easily my favorite eras. Maybe one day I'll listen to the ones that I didn't care for in the past, such as GUILTY, Party Queen, etc.
