Alright my mom is getting into Ayu..

[Syphex]

I'm planning to burn my mom a CD of ayu's ballads, because she only likes really slow songs. She already listened to RAINBOW (She said the beginning was nice but it got too noisy) and Dolls+Daybreak 2002, both of which she really enjoyed. So i'm coming to you guys...can anyone suggest some slow, kinda flat songs without a lot of buildup and loud instrumentals? Something along the lines of No way to say (Acoustic Ver.) but I really can't think of much. Thanks! Oh, and it doesn't have to be an original. It can be a remix or acoustic orchestra.

EDIT: This is a total odd one out, but she also liked Duty. (Who can not like that song though?)

How about the MY STORY Classical album?

Well, I think she will like any version of Dearest. My mom likes that one.

I agree.

How about SEASONS, JEWEL and maybe Voyage aswell ?

[Calico]

CAROLS! HANABI?

Haha, my mother is the same way...except the opposite. She only likes the fast songs. =P So I made her a mix CD full of fast Ayu songs. I need to make her another one since two more albums have come out since then, haha.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

[chocopockymaster]

My dad loves the Acoustic Piano version of Dearest. I think that'd work really well.

Moments (Acoustic Piano Version)
HEAVEN (Piano Version)
Will (unsure if it's too loud for her though)
teens ~acoustic version~
SEASONS (Acoustic Version)
Voyage
Secret
rainy day
Happy Ending
walking proud
hanabi
M (Hal's Progress)

Just some of her best ballads ever.

[AyuGAME]

JEWEL and secret...carols

[SunshineSlayer]

Ever Free.

[sora2522]

all the songs on ayu's album A BALLADS XD
like most people said, anything acoustic orchestra, hapy ending
endless sorrow is a great ballad, but i think that it would be too noisy for yoru mom, in which case give her the I am... version of endless sorrow...
uhh...rainy day, jewel, secret, hmm...seasons...
there's alot of good ballads out there.


btw, everyone here are so lucky...my mom doesn't like ayu's voice T.T

[elepop]

Odd, nobody suggested "Close to you". So beautiful and dreamy.

[Rickumi]

my mom and dad.... they both like ayu and koda ..... but my mom have something special with Utada.
Its so cool ^^

[Kodayumi]

Fortunately or unfortunately, im the only one in my family that likes Jpop.

[Ayumiko]

what about a ballads and my story classical? as for my mom, she can listen to both fast and slow songs. I was playing Secret in the car and she told me to leave it in the player...coz I was gonna take it out and thought she would want to listen to the radio or chinese songs that she understands..but she was cool about it and didnt get a headache from startin...lol...I was also watching the pv dvd in the living room tv and she commented on ayus eyelashes from JEWEL...she thought it was really cool and pretty

Same for me.

Your are lucky to have parents listening to Jpop

I think that MY STORY my classical is a good choice too.
I know my parents don't like Jpop (not fond of music neither) but I am sure they may like some beautiful classical instrumental Ayu did

[Kilyk]

My mom likes Ayu to a certain extent. She can handle her sometimes but then sometimes she gets annoyed by the Japanese. She likes CAROLS and JEWEL though.

[explodingbird]

LOVE~Destiny~ - I think it'd definitely win her over. Or teddy bear.

A Song is born (solo version) could work too. Or theme of a+nation '03. Very relaxing.
