No, I don't. I'm not a fan of remixes because of the trance genre, unless they're acoustic versions of the original versions
But after the DJ 2-Yan part of ABL and the DANCE SHOW TIME of HLs I gave them a try/chance
I'm still shocked that I actually enjoyed them~

She's just doing wat everyone else is doing, i hope at least it sells good cuz of the trend of that crap nowadays.

Maybe "inspired" was quite the strong choice of words,lol! I meant it more like Ayu seems "shaken up", as if she's more lighthearted, feeling like trying again.
And I don't really see this trying the most popular style like such a terrible thing. She had a long, long, looong career, and she did everything BUT jumping on the trendy bandwagon. ...She had to try that too, sooner or later, right?XD
It's not like she signed a blood contract saying she's gonna do EDM forevah and evah. She's a chameleon. Now, if the experiment worked out or not, it's another issue. I personally liked it very much, but... yep, to each their very loved own, lol!

Relistening to Secret.... this album is so amazing. Every track is awesome and the interludes are so fitting~

I wish Secret had a slightly different tour though... getting pegged with ASIA TOUR sort of didn't help Secret or GUILTY IMO.

I've been revisiting old albums (save for ASFXX/LOVEppears/Duty for some odd reason) and they're all as good as I remember them!

^Secret album is my second favorite after I am & RAINBOW
I am & RAINBOW share a no 1 spot on my list
Everything was awesome then(Secret era), Ayu's hair OMG, PV's were AMAZING,constant live TV promotions... i just got teary eyes :-(

[truehappiness]

UGH, I LOVE THE LEAD-IN IN YOU & ME AFTER THE INTRO. So good.

tasuku really made this song... WOW. I wonder if tasuku was allowed near Feel the love / Merry-go-round at all... or if he'll be able to do a rearrange like his ~another night~...

The verses are ultra boring, but the bridge and chorus are so beautiful.

CAROLS is one of my favorites. I think MY STORY has a ton of great ballads.

[truehappiness]

CAROLS is so catchy too, haha. Though my dad always thinks EVERY Ayu ballad is 'shiroiiiiii' after he's heard CAROLS....

POWDER SNOW from ayu-mi-x Acoustic Orchestra Side gives me life
That piano *_*

LOL.
My family thinks every ballad of hers is either Voyage or TO BE.

[mi|kshake]

Not sure about ballads but I don't think my sister rates Ayu at all!

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ yikes. You do play the good ones, right?

The verses are not bad at all. I think the composition and phrasing chosen for the entire construction of the song fits magically.

Not bad -boring.
To me, at least... maybe its because of the build-up of the first chorus, but when it gets to the second verse i feel like it turns boring again.

I know Ayu has always been a cheesy girl but anyone else wants to slap her face at the beginning of No way to say at A BEST LIVE?

I wanted and missed her performing that perfect song alone.

me too! It really is disappointing when I saw Shuya popped out on the stage flailing around You know NWTS is my favorite song too

[ayu-michan]

I found it cheesy as hell but still love it either way Ayu needs to tone down Shu-ya, like put him somewhere else or use a different dancer, something like that.

She could use Kayano, since I honestly have never seen Kayano got a solo on stage. Then the two of them will create a lovey dovey performance with kawaii and hotness lesbian thing LOL ← yep sorry, she's just my fav female dancer.

[waterballoon]

some songs use the dancers really well, like GREEN. That is one ballad I believe that NEEDS the dancers for the extra "oomph". snowy kiss too, but I hate the dancers' execution. now a personal song like No way to say... I could even tolerate her WALLS RAINBOW POP ice cream dress in the past, at least it was just her.
