Upbeat songs by Ayu?

I'm putting together a list of all her upbeat songs. Help me see if I'm missing any?

If a song has slow verses or a slow introduction it doesn't count (e.g. Microphone, evolution). The entire song must be upbeat.

I have:
  • ANGEL'S SONG
  • AUDIENCE
  • Beautiful Fighters
  • Born To Be...
  • Boys & Girls
  • Bye-bye darling
  • Connected
  • Depend on you
  • EnergizE
  • Fly high
  • glitter
  • Greatful days (borderline, but at least it's happy lol)
  • HONEY
  • immature (removed, this is too mid-tempo, it never really picks up)
  • independent
  • INSPIRE
  • Ladies Night
  • Lady Dynamite (borderline upbeat, the verses are a bit slow)
  • Lelio
  • Mirrorcle World (minus the intro)
  • NaNaNa
  • Naturally
  • Party queen (doubtful)
  • Rule
  • Sayonara
  • sending mail
  • SIGNAL
  • snowy kiss
  • Sparkle (the verses are kinda slow though; might have to remove it)
  • Startin'
  • Step by step
  • SURREAL
  • Survivor (doubtful)
  • talkin' 2 myself (slow verses but feels upbeat)
  • Terminal
  • too late
  • Trauma
  • UNITE! (slow intro, but it's short enough)
  • Wake me up
  • WARNING
  • WHATEVER -Version J-

(The most upbeat ones I feel are Fly high, WARNING, Step by step, Boys & Girls and AUDIENCE, among others.)

It is funny that you have included a few songs from which you say they have a slow introduction/verse, but you do seem to forgive that. For that reason, I don't see any reason for not including evolution. That is the most upbeat song I know from Ayu.

My suggestions are:

Ladies Night
until that day...
Summer Love
STEP you
GAME

And these are upbeat to me:

Startin' (if Lady Dynamite counts, Startin' should count too)
1 LOVE
About You
(don't) Leave me Alone
WHATEVER
WE WISH
rollin'
EnergizE
INSPIRE
and of course, evolution.

Gosh, now I'm not too sure of the qualifications here. I kind of feel as if Too Late counts. When it comes to upbeat songs by Ayu, I am probably the first (and maybe only) person who will list AUDIENCE as one of my top favorites.

Sending Mail is really fast-pace I suppose. But it does start kinda slow. And snowy kiss is like nonstop headache madness. D: And The Show Must Go On... And there's Hana as well. You know, I don't know if you're going for upbeat or fast... I'll be "helpful" and write a list of the ones I feel might maybe could qualify:

Hana
Sending Mail
The Show Must Go On
Too Late
snowy kiss
Trust, save for the verses
Glitter
Greatful Days
Bold & Delicious
Honey

I know this is all a little subjective. I kinda felt Replace counted but I guess maybe not.

Thanks for the suggestions! I appended the OP. (in blue)

I can't believe I forgot Startin'! That song is CRAZY upbeat and one of my favorites!

The Show Must Go On would've been perfect if it weren't for those slow-ass verses.

I added evolution, although I still get put to sleep by the intro...that's why I barely listen to the studio version. Mirrorcle World's intro is also long and slow but it feels suspenseful to me.
Generally I tried not to add any upbeat songs with slow intros though, like rollin', because it kills the mood.

BTW, which version of WHATEVER are you referring to?

I would probably add "BLUE BIRD" to that list as well

Edit: Yea, it has a rather "slow" introduction but overall feels very uplifting and upbeat to me, though.
