My recommendations:

STEP you
I really like how this song is somwehat rockish, yet danceable. Like nothing I've ever heard before!!

rainy day
In my opinion, one of Ayu's best ballads. It's so beautiful and calming!

M
Amazing lyrics and composition. Overrated, but for good reasons!

Startin'
Very upbeat and makes me wanna dance! I love it!

Memorial address (take 2 version)
Not many people would think of this one, but I really like it! Sad lyrics and the instrumentals suit the mood of the song perfectly!!

Moments: I don't know why. It just screams Ayu to me everytime I listen to it. It's great.

GAME: I didn't love it 2 years ago, but now I do. Great rock song! Better than the overrated "Because of you". Yes!

SEASONS: Nice ballad that even non fans seem to like. A classic.

No way to say: Heart touching ballad with a nice melody. Nobody hates that song really.

Boys & Girls: Classic upbeat Ayu song. Its chorus is amazingly catchy.

sexysaucestar · #5 28th February 2006, 04:19 AM

Dearest - first song I heard of Ayu's, and very touching

No Way to Say

YOU

Voyage

Greatful Days

I let my sister listen to a few of Ayu's songs, and she really liked "Voyage." I guess it's better to introduce a variety of Ayu's ballads/upbeat songs/etc. to a newbie...so they get a feel of what Ayu does.

**Corybobory** · #6 28th February 2006, 04:25 AM

Good question. I think it would be: A Song for XX, appears, evolution, Dearest, Moments...

hmm all oldies

krishna · #7 28th February 2006, 05:08 AM

I will recommend:
SEASONS- ayu's best ballads
Boys & Girls
Key
evolution
Startin'

Kikaru · #8 28th February 2006, 05:29 AM

A song for XX: The signature song that marked the beginning of her career, and also the two new versions are just fabulous.
Season: it's THE ayumi ballad. Beautiful lyrics, with very emotional vocals, and a catchy melody.
M: It's well...the first song she composed, and also a turn in the style of her lyrics. It's also very catchy, and one of the first of her songs to border a rockier edge.
No Way to Say: It's just catchy, and very emotional.
Is this LOVE?: It really wowed me. the lyrics are great, the song's refreshing, and the vocals are just beautiful.

Do you mean the only song you heard my Ayumi is INSPIRE?
o_o;

Well, I wouldn't recommend anything until i knew what type of music/genre the person likes.

I agree with that.. But let's say if that person hears a song from ayu and asks for another.. I will pick:

1) TO BE --> typical ayu song from the old time
2) appears --> it's an upbeat song from the old time

3) Dearest or Voyage --> a song to introduce the SUPER shiny time of ayu (well she's still very shiny now..)
4) Moments or HEAVEN or CAROLS --> a newer slow song will be good
5) STEP you or Startin' --> a newer fast song to show that ayu's superior

hamasaki_edwin · #15 28th February 2006, 08:12 AM

1. my name's WOMEN
2. SEASONS
3. teddy bear

Mad_Cactuar · #16 28th February 2006, 08:14 AM

STEP YOU ---> Addictive enough to warrant follow up listens.
Ourselves ---> More addictive pop music!
Evolution ---> Even faster awesome pop!
Rainbow ---> Musical perfection, must listen to believe.
Bold And Delicious ---> So weird and good.

OT, but I like your sig. It really brings out the SEASONS of it. lol.

But that's also why you immerse them in both ballad and upbeat. So I would reccommend...

1) Memorial Addresss ~Take 2 Version~ - I wanna hear how she sounded in the first version... but this is a good song since it exposes both ballad and rock.

2) M - This is song is a legend. Arguably her BEST EVER.

3) A Song for XX (A BEST version) - These vocals bring out the emotion much more than the original version.

4) Startin' - This is a good song to get a "Startin'" with. Her vocals are strong, and show how much she had matured since her "A Song for XX" days. It also shows pure upbeat from her.

5) Moments - This song is honestly one of her best ballads in her career. ESPECIALLY the Acoustic Piano Version. The music is beautiful, and the vocals are excellent. Great for any newbie.

Qt Mashi · #18 28th February 2006, 08:20 AM

mostly the newer ones first!

Moments - since that's the first Ayu song i loved
STEP you - it's so damn catchy, anyone would like it
startin' - kool song!
rainy day - i just love that song....
You(a ballads version) - such a cute song!

PURIN · #19 28th February 2006, 08:35 AM
