Barks - What’s your favorite song by Hamasaki Ayumi?
Recochoku recently revealed the results of its latest group of rankings, asking users to choose their favorite songs by beloved pop singer Hamasaki Ayumi.
The ranking was split into three different categories, each describing a different aspect of the famous singer. The first is a lyric ranking, where users picked a song whose lyrics they most sympathized with. Coming in first place for this list is the title track of her first album, “A Song for XX“. Both male and female users responded that they could relate to the themes of insecurity as a young person. Despite being released in 1999, “A Song for XX” continues to be one of her most popular songs. The second ranking is “The Ayu song you want to hear in the summer”, and was easily dominated by her sunny 2006 track “BLUE BIRD“. The PV for “BLUE BIRD” features Ayu singing cheerfully on a beautiful white beach, perfectly fitting the summer atmosphere of the upbeat song. Lastly, Recochoku asked users to rank which Ayu song made them cry the most. Since releasing the song “Days” in 2008, Hamasaki has continued to perform the song at concerts with her dancer Shu-ya, who helps paint a sad story that elicits tears from both Ayu and her fans. Check out the full ranking for each theme below! - < The Ayu song whose lyrics I sympathized with > 01. A Song for XX 02. Days 03. MY ALL < The Ayu song I want to hear in the summer > 01. BLUE BIRD 02. July 1st 03. Greatful days < The Ayu song that made me cry the most > 01. Days 02. You were… 03. HEAVEN http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000072705 Translation done by Tokyohive I like all the songs that're listed in all the 3 categories *_*

Days deserves every bit of attention it gets~ I am looking forward to this Winter season so I can listen to it again (I hold off on most winter themed songs until Winter so it's more of a bang when I start integrating them into my playlist). Each year I listen to it on the first snowfall.

Surprised that Days is #1, but I admit I teared up a lot when I watched the PV. Shuya is such a heart-breaker!
No way to say had the same effect on me when it first came out. |
