best ayu songs in latest years

[Surreal17]

So, as the title itself implies, this thread is a tribute to Ayumi's best songs since 2011. Best songs in the sense of your favourite songs from her, songs that have left you speechless. I chose the time frame 2011- present because its probably the most underrated part of Ayu's carrer ever. With the release of A ONE, things seem to improve in her fandom and I hope that with the new album, she'll receive a lot of positive feedback.

RULE : To make the thread more exciting and to emphasise your love for certain tracks, choose between 5 and 10 defining songs. Not less, not more.
RULE 2 (optional) : write a short / long description for each song; why do you love that song?

Tell All (April 08, 2013)
I remember I've waited all day for this to be released as a digital single. She's at her best when she's doing hybrid songs and this is no exception - mashing synthpop with hard rock (in the vein of Mirrorcle World). One aspect that I like about this track is the crispiness and clarity of the instrumental, thing I've also noticed in Shape of Love. The lyrics are also a strong point, this being my favourite part - "I'm gonna become the reason you breathe". Quite thoughful, right?

NO FUTURE (April 08, 2015)
Probably my favourite track to play in April and my most played last April. It just fits those days when all the trees are blooming and the overall scent is magnificent. I get to experience this feeling again since its that time of the year. The arrangement and mixing are very dynamic which really gives colour to the whole A ONE album. The climax of the song is spectacular and for one moment we get a glimpse of drum & bass before being coated by the heaviness of trance and eurobeat. Her vocals shine in the verses and bring memories of old vocal style in the chorus.

Shape of love (August 05, 2015)
*not 100 percent sure since still feels so new to me*
