A UNIQUE?

[Akutenshi]

So, I have friends who have expressed interest in Ayu, heard a good amount of songs here or there (based on me playing them ), and I'm trying to really increase their interest in her. So I wanna make a compilation of her most UNIQUE songs.

What I mean by unique is, songs that sound almost nothing like anything else in her discography (a tiny bit similarity is fine). I wanna know what people think are her most unique songs, so I can compile a tracklist from there.

14-16 tracks please.

[VRGRK]

I dont know if unique is the best way to go... I would do a nice mix of her older and newer songs... which would show how diverse her musical style is.

Tbh, I don't think "unique" is the best way to go when introducing a person to a new artist. You'd want a mix of their classics, fan favorites, and then a few "unique" tracks in between to show their diversity. You don't want to give your friends the impression that she sounds like that ALL the time because then they might expect that and be put off by her more ayu sounding tracks (which heavily outweigh the diverse ones). But here's what I'd go with:

alterna
STEP you (impossible for anyone not to love this song XD )
Free & Easy
M
HANABI
HANABI ~episode 2~
Heartplace (haven't heard another track like it in my life, it's so powerful)
I am...
SURREAL
Scar
Bold&Delicious
Will
INSPIRE
About you
appears
Fly High
Sexy Little Things
Don't Look Back
vogue
Voyage
JEWEL
Startin
POWDER SNOW
Sparkle
SIGNAL

[kendelle]

My list contains single tracks, so if they like what they hear they can look up the single and get the rest of the music from it

poker face
Depend on You
WHATEVER
Fly high
SEASONS
SURREAL
M
evolution
Daybreak
STEP you
Bold & Delicious

Hope that helps And good luck! It's hard to convert friends to Ayudom xD

I'd pick a few songs from each album according to your friends musical tastes. If they like rock, pick mostly rock songs with some ballads and a few fun/upbeat songs thrown in, and vice versa.

[MeltingCORE]

As many people have said before, I wouldn't go with most unique... Go with a mix of all her songs to introduce them to Ayu's many styles. (remixes, acoustic, and original.) She is very diverse. Here is my list of beginning songs for your friend...

M
About You
A Song for XX (030213 Session take #2)
Monochrome
Microphone (THE LOWBROWS remix)
poker face (Spiritual Guidance Mix)
Ladies Night
Born to be...
Pride
Boys & Girls
SURREAL (Thunderpuss RADIO)
Endless sorrow
untitled ~for her~
Daybreak (Orion Too remix)
And then
End roll (da urban maesto mix)

This is my personal list, hope I could help some!
