What would have done differently?

[Picaflor 7/4]

I wanted to know this. Let's say you could go back in time and change anything in her discography. (more than one thing) What would you have changed, added, or gotten rid of?

I myself would have had them finish the carols pv. I mean it wouldn't have killed them to film another day. or redo it.

I would have put poM on her secret album, Rainbow, on Rainbow, Audience on I am..., and replaced far away on her duty album with dearest.

I would have put the mnW pv on the cd/dvd version of my story, make sure that B&D never existed, and instead of having a special digest of her museum tour, on her MA album, I would have either replaced it with a real pv of MA, or at least a live performance.

I also think a few of her songs should have had pvs, while other shouldn't. example: humming 7/4 never should have had a pv, and I think Hanabi should have.

One more thing, I would have cut back how many remix albums she has. Way to many! I'd make it so that she only had her ayumix series, and the first cyber trance album.

So after all that is done and said, what would you have liked to change, or add, or get rid of?

I accept anything Ayu decides on, even if I don't necessarily like it as much as if it were done a different way. So for this reason, I've come to just like things the way she made it.

However, I do wish both GUILTY and NEXT LEVEL were rearranged differently. The tracklist isn't very cohesive and could have been arrange much more smoothly.

ever free should have been a part of Duty

[love in music]

less interludes on her albums, or have none altogether. Days to have a different arrangement, Beautiful Fighters to be a b-side, Bold & Delicious to not exist, MW & Life to be on the NL album. also i'd have wanted her to re-shoot the A BEST 2 covers/inside pics so that "white" had a happy/fun photo shoot and "black" had a dark/emotional one (shot by leslie kee or ND CHOW). i'd also want the sunrise/sunset PV's to be different and a lot of her 2009 photo shoots as well

uh...I would kill that (m)u cover where she looks like a munky.

and...um...maybe the green pv...

I would have also chosen better pictures of her, sort of in general, since recently she looks bad in magazines...I don't know who is choosing the pictures...but they suck. It's really disappointing when we see those Deji Deji Diaries and she looks soo great and gorgeous in them...yet the official pictures are crap.

more remixes in singles
and put is this love in MY STORY
idk to me it seems perfect there
oh and not to release ballads

[NintendoHTF1242]

Maybe make it so that the interludes didn't destroy the flow of the NEXT LEVEL album. Nothing worked on that album. The tracks were placed like the colors on that cover, random.

[yuki_unmei]

ever free, Life, Mirrorcle World needed to be on albums. There are alot of great songs that have never been performed live even once. GREEN needed a different director. identity should have had a pv. But most of all....

ayu and kazuyoshi should have never met.

[AyUta]

i would definitely get rid of the (miss)understood cover >_>

everything else is fine though .

[Crystal_Ageha]

Overall, I accept whatever she and her team decides on. But the only thing that REALLY bugs me is the lack of PVs for epic songs!! Especially when they're the title tracks. >_< I mean, A Song for XX and Duty really~ needed videos, don't you think? Even I am... could have had something interesting.

[Aderianu]

I want her to re-sang some songs for A BEST II, like she did it for A BEST

[waterballoon]

I would have intercepted Ayu from meeting Kazuyoshi.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

burn the covers of S/S
burn GREEN's pv as well as Sunrise's and Sunset's

all the rest I'm okay with.

I pretty much the same

[Picaflor 7/4]

I actually liked the Green pv. It was very indiana jones to me. Old fashioned China. kind of cool. She's rushing to perform and then does a fantastic job. But that's just me.

I'm the total opposite of this forum, whatever Everyone loves, I hate.

I'd get rid of bold and delicious, days, heaven, marionette, would have had her perform connected more, change the NL covers, I really like the one of her in an orange outfit grabbing her crotch in the booklet (as akward as that sounds), and the Sy/isL covers were so weird. I didn't understand what that was in her hand. It's such a weird camera angle too.

I agree with this.

And i find her ermix albums (mostly thelatest) quite boring.
instead og making hundreds remixes, i prefered she did 2 albums but with great remixes.

[AyumiBest]

I would of given Hanabi a PV too. I'd probably also have the (miss)understood cover be something different. Those pictures are one of her worst. T^T

[ayumi.hamasaki]

I would have made a PV for the following songs:

A Song For XX
Duty
HANABI
Heartplace
WE WISH
Memorial Address
In The Corner
