2 Years without Ayu

[ZeroS]

Hi!

So the last 2 years I really had the feeling, that there wasn't as much Ayu as the years before.
I only saw some concerts, a few PVs and here and there some TV stuff.
I don't know exactly when, but I think it started at the time, where Ayu went to America for her PVs.

Could be my imagination, but maybe you people can tell me what I missed over the time.

Wow, long time XD

Well you mean since 2007? (GUILTY album?)

She had 2 10th anniversary singles - Mirrorcle World on April 2008, and Days/GREEN on December 2008.
Between them 2 remix albums (ayu-mi-x 6 -GOLD- and ayu-mi-x 6 -SILVER), a single collection album A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ (3 CDs+DVD with a-nation unreleased performances and the Team ayu limited 2003 live and 2 songs were cut).
A COMPLETE had a 10th anniversary version of Who..., Mirrorcle World (Depend on you and YOU) and Days/GREEN (LOVE ~Destiny~ and TO BE), of course the ASIA TOUR 2008 ~10th Anniversary~ as well.

The CDL was also special, it was called PREMIUM COUNTDOWN LIVE 2008-2009 A and it had a lot of rare songs and songs that ayu never sang! like SIGNAL, Hana, SCAR, Over, POWDER SNOW. ^^

On 2009 she released a single Rule/Sparkle (Sparkle is an amazing electronic pop song!!)
Rule was the dragon ball evolution movie tie-in, the movie sucked obviously but the song is great.
Then she released her 10th studio album NEXT LEVEL.
Afterwards she began the album's tour and it occured until last month (no asia dates this time).
On August this year she released Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ single, the songs have different arrangements and different lyrics (most).
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ had a japanese drama tie-in, the drama was called Danddy Daddy!? but the drama had low ratings, unfortunately as it's not one of the popular styled dramas and it wasn't on the right channel =P

On December 16th she will release a new single called You were.../BALLAD which will be out in 3 versions. Both A-sides will be ballads and the b-side is called RED LINE ~for TA~.

That's all by far. ^^

(If that's what you wanted to know). xD

Pretty good resume

Can add that ayu is no longer spokeswoman for Wacoal, but instead for RIMMEL, but so far there's only 1 pic from that, no cm or alike.

For the PCDL, she had to drop some TV performances before it, as she fell from the stairs at Christmas eve, so if you look up at shows and PVs from that time, she's often wearing gloves because of a injury on her hand.

This years tour, for the first time includes all songs from the new album.
This years a-nation has been like an ayu-nation, as she has 8 songs (as I remember) on the DVD, while every other singer and band just have one.

Um....she's deaf in one ear and made a really hot fetish pv with guys in latex and gas masks... yeah that's all that's important that happened this year. everything else is just minor.

Wow thanks for your answers, very helpful!

Ayu had problems with her ear for a long time.
It's seems that I only missed a few little things, but 2-3 years ago I visited AHS every day and there was always something new.
Now, even if I won't visit the site for 2-3 month I will find next to nothing new.

Has to be my foult then, maybe it's because at that time I often made stuff for the forum competitions ...and yeah, I downloaded all the old stuff, so I can't watch (for me )new Ayu vids all day long.

I think it may be time for an Ayu all-niter ... or two.
