If various artists made a tribute album for Ayu...

[Diva_br]

OMG what an awesome tracklist *_*

Mine...

evolution x Perfume
SURREAL x globe
Boys & Girls x chay
M x KODA KUMI
Dearest x JUJU
Dream ON x JASMINE & Miliyah Kato
SEASONS x Gackt
forgiveness x MIKA NAKASHIMA
Beautiful Fighters x Kana Nishino (for her, Greatful Days, also)
About You x Chihiro Onitsuka

At least, these come into my mind right now xD

[Delirium-Zer0]

Dream ON x JASMINE & Miliyah Kato

oh my god now I'm so sad this doesn't exist. Darn yoooouuu lol

[YuriChan]

I had this idea after YUI released her tribute album. ^^;

1. Because of You (Nanase Aikawa)
2. A Song For xx ~17th Anniversary Mix~ (Hamasaki Ayumi)
3. SEASONS (BoA)
4. glitter (Fairies)
5. Will (Hitomi Shimatani)
6. LOVE ~Destiny~ (Naoya Urata)
7. Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ (SKE48)
8. M (misono)
9. my name's WOMEN (FAKY)
10. HEAVEN (Koda Kumi)
11. Sparkle (2NE1)
12. from your letter (Ai Otsuka)
13. Bold & Delicious (AAA)
14. Born to be... (Namie Amuro)
15. Boys & Girls (AKB48)

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I would love a really good cover of Ourselves. I think someone could make something quite epic of that song.

[oaristos]

01. A Song for XX / Utada Hikaru
02. Dearest / Amuro Namie
03. M / Koda Kumi
04. SEASONS / Nishino Kana
05. ourselves / Miliyah Kato
06. Endless sorrow / BoA
07. evolution / Otsuka Ai
08. STEP you / hitomi
09. Startin' / AI
10. Boys & Girls / AAA
11. Free & Easy / Mika Nakashima
12. Who... / Shiina Ringo

[DonkeyKongRemix]

If Kokia did a cover of SCAR, I would be content. I couldn't decide what song would be best for her, and then that one randomly came to mind. Her voice would be perfect with that.

[ShiraJemJem]

Great idea everyone

[Gustavopc]

It may not be a popular opinion, but I think Kuu would make a hell of a job on ayu's M, I'd love to see that. Plus, I know Namie doesn't take part in these things usually, but I'd love to see her doing a cover from ayu also. My tracklist would be something like:


01. AI - Love song
02. alan - RAINBOW
03. BENI - HANABI
04. Koda Kumi - M
05. Perfume - evolution
06. namie amuro - Feel the love
07. mini - WHATEVER (I miss you everyday of my life, girl)
08. BoA - STEP you
09. Kana Nishino - SEASONS
10. Miliyah Kato - HEAVEN
11. Anna Tsuchiya - You were...
12. Utada Hikaru - Voyage

[pimenta]

Some of these are great!!

I can totally see that happening, it could work really well

I would love to hear GACKT covering a song like End of the World. The style of that song would totally fit him imo.

I also would love an EXILE cover of a popular song like Boys & Girls. It would be some nice promotion as well.

And maybe we can go further and explore Ayu's and Yoshiki's friendship and get and X-Japan cover of one of her rock songs? (Because of you or talkin' 2 myself could work)... I certainly would like a cover album that included solo artists, groups and bands way more than only female pop artists.

There are some really really cool ideas on this thread lol... I gotta admit I was kinda challenged to come up with some good genre-bending-but-still-might-be-really-awesome ideas

1. ayaka - Voyage
2. Superfly - evolution
3. Perfume - Days
4. Nishino Kana - FRIEND
5. Gackt - fated
6. Shiina Ringo - Sexy little things
7. B'z - WHATEVER
8. Do As Infinity - POWDER SNOW
9. Aikawa Nanase - SURREAL
10. DJ Krush - insomnia
11. JASMINE feat. VERBAL & TSUTCHIE - Fly high
12. STRAIGHTENER - I am...
13. Daichi Miura - JEWEL

I will probably think up more.

[Yoake]

I don't create a setlist because it's hard to me to imagine other singers sing Ayu's songs. However here is some I succeeded to unite:

Kalafina - Brillante
Namie Amuro - Connected
AAA - Independant
JUJU - the next LOVE
Yuna Ito - Dearest
Koda Kumi - ourselves
moumoon - BLUE BIRD
Kana Nishino - BALLAD
MISIA - Bold & Delicious / Born to be...

I can't see B'z doing "WHATEVER". I can see them do "decision", "talkin' 2 myself", "identity", or maybe "NEVER EVER". o_o; OH OH!! Maybe "And Then" (or "immature"), too! :O

[Karori]

Not a tracklist, but I can totally imagine Rina Aiuchi doing "A Song for XX" or "M".

I'd imagine their version of WHATEVER would have an "ultra soul" esque sound (but darker, obviously). Your songs are picked here based on what genre they already are, lol.... B'z covering an Ayu rock song wouldn't be interesting!

Of those, I can really only hear Koshi singing "immature" in my head, and I can imagine Tak's re-imagining of the production (based on the JT Original CM version but following the melody lines of the synth in the album version at times).

EDIT: Actually I can picture Koshi's vocals on "identity" also. But I feel like their cover would contribute absolutely nothing, it'd be like a carbon copy o_O

Have you heard "Ruby Stars"? XD

[primavera♥]

Coming up with a list is still too hard for me. I can't even imagine most of my fav artists covering anything from ayu.

That being said, the thought of Utada Hikaru covering Over just popped into my mind and I think that would be fantastic lol.
I'd love to hear MELL cover an ayu song but...
I'd also like to hear the Gazette cover one of ayu's rock tracks or rock-influenced ballads.

Jasmine covering Fly High would be amazing. I wish

Yes I have. And I love it! It's like Rina's version of A Song of XX, IMO

And Deep Freeze reminds me and makes me think so much of M...
