[Official Message] NEW MINI ALBUM『FIVE』 2011.8.31 in stores ~II~

[jbrat2219]

Maybe the fact we can't agree on which songs sounds like another proves her songs don't sound as alike as we all may think? I think her previous songs make a great impact on her newer works but they don't necessarily sound alike.

Ayu should have just collab'd with Peco and Princess instead :// They can scream the outro of the songs for about 3 minutes straight.

I want collab with Inaba T___T Or ONE OK ROCK T___T

I remember when Until that day... came out everyone was comparing it to evolution for the simple fact that the singing style is similar (the super fast ranting). SEASONS and Life I didn't understand too much for a while but those comparisons were also being thrown around - and then one day I realized when I had Life in my head, SEASONS would take over. I think it's the beginning of both chorses that sound the same. That first line in the chorus's.

But no way is SEASONS Virgin Road. I cannot stand Virgin Road and it's completely different feeling than SEASONS. VR is too slow to be SEASONS. I also think Life and SEASONS compliment each other nicely and they both are "Spring" songs (I listen to music according to weather and season and during Spring it's always SEASONS, Life, RAINBOW).

@njanjayrp @Zeke.
Releasing formulaic singles for the sake of keeping her mainstream status is different from guiding every step of her career based on what fans think she should or shouldn't do... No wonder people complains so much she "lost her spark" or some **** like that... And her formulaic singles aren't for fans in the end of the day, they are aimed to casual listeners who doesn't care about her most obscure releases...

We for sure have some similar songs on her discography... But it's nice to see that among her more than 130 songs, we have some similarities here and there, instead of the same hit single being released over and over again under a different title... if we ignore some of her winter singles, some of her summer singles, and some of her concert ending songs (what would be +- 3 songs per era, and still not in every era), it's hard to say that every Ayu song sound like each other... What's different from some artists who like to focus their releases on what they fans expect them to do...

^ I don't mind it and I still really don't understand your post. Lol.

[Violently Happy]

I think it's really nice of Ayu to do collaborations with artist that aren't that big! Ayu's giving them a chance to become more famous! ^_^

quite nice, cuz we would have tons of new versions of Seasons, evolution, M, No way to say and fairyland if she took her fans opinions into consideration...

Amazing post.

I'm 100% sure It's an old one (i've this picture on my computer since several years).
It's probably from 2005/2006 maybe (i say that because of the hair color XD)
