^ Yeah any single remix will do now
For example: I wanted to make a playlist of the album I am using only remixed songs of I am's tracks from singles.
But that won't happen because there aren't enough songs so I'll just make an anything goes playlist with data from the anything goes thread lol

[tsumekaze_]

^ that would have been too nice tho, are you sure that there aren't enough songs to do it? like, even if you took remixes from remix albums? I'd so want something like that!!! currently imagining GUILTY with together when remix from ayumi x 6 silver.

God, I just heard the original Voyage with great earphones and I NEVER heard the back ground "we are on a journey looking for love" thing in the chorus! I thought it was something new for AT 2013 15th Anniversary!! I mean I heard Background singing but I never realized it was that. XDD

[rainbow_smile]

I always knew that was originally from Voyage haha

There was one time when I kind of stalked the thread, where everyone speculated what was sung in her songs' English lines, because they're often not included in the lyrics xD

[TeamAyu2004]

I want news for some new music!!
Come on ayumi!!

[tsumekaze_]

Yeah I've noticed about the background singing only after someone pointed it out here on AHS when the A best came out! I guess I'm not too sharp when it comes to music. XD

btw I think we shall take a minute to remember what holy goodness is "criminal".
Tho, the girl always sings about wether she'll be forgiven or not. (I am..., criminal, ivy just to quote a few). Da hell has she done?

Seriously...you'd think she murdered someone and chucked their body in a river.

[rainbow_smile]

She probably just feels like she's done something wrong, hurt her loved ones, that's why she's lonely. But she's not sure what went wrong. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but that's the case for me xDD

I'll need to check out Voyage on my new headphones now!

I like your explanation very very much and think you're definetely near to the core of the thing. poor ayu, I can quite understand that feeling.

[waterballoon]

ugh I hate the HOTEL Love Songs concert so much..

I just rewatched some segments and.... I liked Shake It <3 & NaNaNa, as well as the beginning. Of course One Night Carnival too.

But everything else made me

- appears/Missing: disgusting stage set up (also why I couldn't stand CDL 11-12).. the beds and the one Maro with many women, yep, it reminded me of a place. also the way he was feeling her up throughout the performance... can she get anymore unprofessional? her vocals were really shaky during "appears" too, and that's one of my favorite songs from her. the AT 07 performance was flawless; I dunno I'd rather she repeat that than ... this mess.

- Party Queen: needless to say, I never liked the "I am a lonely queen" part. desperate cry for attention imho and I just didn't like it. perhaps the only thing that saved it was the better mix of the song live and the lights

- reminds me/Tell me why: for such personal songs it's beyond me why she needed so many dancers. I also couldn't stand the stage set up here. the doors and all that, bleh.. cheap is the word.

- kiss o' kill: obviously a "filler" song.. compared to the AT 07 one this was a lackluster performance.. couldn't feel any emotions or anything from it, so it's like she chose this randomly to replace Return Road. then again I'd rather have the empty kiss o' kill than the over dramatic and unprofessional Return Road.

I think 2012 was 1 of her worst years. the arena tour that year was really disappointing (moreso than the 2009 one I'd think)... meh..

I'm expecting flames and harsh comments on what I just said but it's what I feel. the Party queen era was a mess & I'm glad she's over it. and I sincerely hope she doesn't churn out garbage tours like HOTEL Love Songs anymore

[tsumekaze_]

^ I agree with many things there, really, even though I liked the concert. I would have prefered reminds me and tell me why on the stage alone and was quite disappointed at the number of dancers and I didn't like the stage, it seemed cheap because it also trembled when they danced and I was afraid that it came all down LOL XD didn't mind the missing/appears one but it's not one I rewatch, as the similar one in cdl 11/12, it just didn't click for me. I loved the party queen performance... And the kiss o' kill one was just boring, even though the song is one of my favourites. I skipped it. Definetely a filler XD in general: I liked the concert BUT compared to at10 rock'n roll circus and at11 power of music it felt like it couldn't compare, to my taste. Still many performances were perfect, like shake it, nanana, sparkle, esm, one night carnival... Absolutely hated the interlude when maro dances tiptap. Bleh. Anyway I don't think anyone should be harsh to you, you just expressed your opinion! It's an interesting topic

thank you! yeah interesting AT 12 had one of my favorite performances ever too - Shake It <3 I loved that one, it was really sexy and cool!

But it seems like this year's arena tour would be something interesting and different, so I can't wait ^_^

[ayu-michan]

AT12 only had one impact on me and that was "flashy". It's like seeing glitter and diamonds and those light! I personally thought it was very enjoyable, but definitely not something that I would re-watch, or I'll just watch it only when I want something entertaining. Unlike AT10, there weren't that much of memorable performances, but overall I don't have much hatred toward it.

On another note, I found this page from Popteen 2013.11 issue, I was surprised to see 2001 Ayu pics in the bottom, does anyone know what it said!

Is there any place where I can get TA emails translations?

You got it too?

15周年特別企画　第２弾!!ayuへの質問を大募集します!!
TAのみなさんの質問にayuが答えちゃうかも!?
今回は本日発売された「ライフスタイルブック」を記念して、ayuのライフスタイルに関しての質問や15年 分の楽曲についてayuに聞いてみたかった事など、皆さんからの質問をお待ちしております★

I'm assuming it's something to do with the 15th anni, sending feedback to Ayu

I clicked the link and it's got a questionnaire.....

Question 1 is for your member no, and question 2 is your "pen-name".

Question 3 and 4 have a bit of kanji which I'm not good at reading. My best guess is that Q3 is asking about your lifestyle and you have 500 characters/letters to reply. Q4 is something along the lines of 15 years of music but I can't really read the whole thing

Does anyone know if TA emails you when your membership is up? Mine is due March 31 and my Perfume PTA membership emailed me today to renew (which I did via CreditCard). Will TA just have the link there? I'm just worried I'll lose my spot and have to reapply ;__;

[tsumekaze_]

So the email says that because of the release of the photobook today "ayu life style" members of TA can ask some questions to ayu and she might end up answering them, about her lifestyle or her music in this 15 years. They're waiting for your questions!

The page of journal is about this mizukitty's life who is apparently a fan of ayu since a long time. The photos from 2001 are from her middle school when she made a scrapbook writing that she always listened to ayu in the past and always will be listening to her. "I can't like anyone but ayu"

[rainbow_smile]

Yeah, thanks to google translate I kinda got that it was about sending her questions and staff xD I think it also said that some of the replies will be published in TA magazine or something?

But did I understand correctly that they only accept questions in full-width characters, which probably means Japanese-only?
