why people like Moments and Memorial Address?

[TITANIC]

I just wondering why so many people like Moments and Memorial Address while I used to HATE those songs. Moments is alright. I dont really hate it but Memorial address I have no idea. I never liked it

and NEXT LEVEL is my 2nd favorite ayu's song after mirrorcle world. i have 243 play count in my itunes list and my 2nd most played song in my itunes but I heard some people dont like it. same like Days, I dont really like Days for me that song is average but looks like people in ahs dont like it...

^^

and I want to add for my dear... i think that song is just epic. her best single in ASFXX but seems like no any AHS member here like that song. I found the lyric and music are too good to be true. just her voice very annoyed.

I like the arrangement and composition and the way Ayu sings Memorial Address

maybe I love Memorial Address because I lost my father, too

that is why Memorial Address is a special song for me

[StarSUCKER]

I think there's a certain "familiar" element in the composition of Moments and Memorial address. Not sure what, can't put my finger on it, but it's there. Not plagiarism, just something familiar and comforting. But that's just how I hear it.

Otherwise, they both have gorgeous lyrics, and Ayu has her heart in those songs...

this is like asking about all songs ''why do some like *insert any song name*''

*waits for all the drama to begin here*

Why do you like NEXT LEVEL? I hate it
(because of this -->)

[U-GO-BOY]

Moments is my all-time favorite song because I can relate so much to the lyrics..

[mellody]

Maybe because these songs are catchy?
Or the lyrics seems to be very special?

I like that 2 songs actually~

I also wonder why although i like Moments but Memorial address's just so-so , nothing special . I think End roll's thousand better then both songs ^^!

agree. I do love End roll in terms of music.
maybe because Memorial address has good lyric

I have the Moments (Humanoid Mix), Real Me (Megara vs DJ Lee Remix) and Unite (Moogwai Mix) in my driving list when motoring home !

Keeps the blood pumping and helps me stay awake ...

memorial address is one of my favourite Ayu songs, in the beginning it sounds like a ballad then it turns into rock, her vocals also sound diff from her other songs, it's like a perfect song for me...mixture of ballad and rock.

moments was the first Ayu song i loved, that song is what made me into Ayu fan...

omg i love those songs! but rainy day is the best!

Next Level is a nice song~

Mirrorcle World is also good but i liked her vocals in "Mirror" better, and Days is so-so...

[y_nathz]

i think its all only about people's taste in music..
i love Moments and Memorial Address, but i do love Mirrorcle World too.
NEXT LEVEL is quite good i think, but im not a fan of Days, GREEN is more epic

ya...memorial is jsut so-so,IMO.but human has different perception

[noidea]

Memorial Address just is one of the most emotional songs I ever heard...I actually started crying a little when I watched her performance at AT0304 with subs

And Moments just is a beautiful and very relateable ballad, but I can see why some people dislike it(the las, the up-and-downs in the chorus...)

[love in music]

i like memorial address because when i first listened to it, i thought it'd just be a sweet ballad but then it goes into this rock-type angry song and it's a really good contrast imo, i also like her emotion in it and the lyrics. with Moments i just find it really, really pretty. especially the chorus. but i also love NEXT LEVEL too, it's a song that always makes me happy when i listen to it.

[Delirium-Zer0]

I just like music that makes me FEEL things.... Moments and Memorial address do, because you can hear the pain or the tenderness or the frustration or the desperation or the love in her voice & in the arrangement. Some of ayu's really popular songs, especially excessively cheerful songs or songs with really homogenized (or really disingenuously dramatic) arrangements just don't.

[aura~]

moments for me is so so... but memorial address... I cry with this song, because i can relate to this a lot... My father also left my moether and me when I was little and I can't remember his face, anything, and I don't know nothing abou him... so of course this song means a lot for me...

I really love moments and memorial address and I hate next level.
I don't know how you can not love Memorial address - it's just a pure love!!
while NEXT LEVEL is tooooooooooooo popish

[~angel*ayumi~]

That´s called taste, everyone has a different taste.

[sugarbasil]

I'm a little biased. Moments was the first single I ever bought from Ayu and it was right in the very beginning of when I was first getting into Ayu. I spent $36 on it and I was so excited. I thought it was the most gorgeous thing I had ever heard. And then I saw the PV and thought it was simply gorgeous as well. In the last year or so though I haven't been as into it as I was. I think it's because I overplayed it. : /

I used to HATE Memorial Address. In fact, I thought it ruined the album and I would always skip over it. When I saw the live (and especially with the subtitles) it became my favorite. I cried almost every time I listened to it. It's so sentimental.
