The Warmy remix of Ai no Kotoba and the Urban Kiss version of Ai no Uta are perfect examples of remixes done right.

Vocal chopping is genius. The use of layer and emphasis, attention to detail in her good upbeat remixes as well make me salivate.

OMG! "I'm a little SLUT" haha best parody of all time. I thought it was so hilarious I listened to it a hundred times when it first came out. haha

So many eyes are watching. They're all looking at me.
They think my shit is sexy when they see it on TV.
So many buy my products. It's all about me.
I'm better than Utada, BoA, and Hamasaki.

Her voice sounds unrecognizable in good part of that remix, but everything fits so well for me Galaxies far better than the original mix

Talking on favorite remixes, I also love the Suki de remix on DH4, it sounds so rnb and smooth, she should have more ballads like that. It aint just a slowed down recording with a random beat, like her ballad remixes usually are, it is so well built it's even better than the Urban Kiss version of Ai no uta.
I also adore the you remix on DH2, I guess it's the closest thing she's ever done to a trance remix, and as I'm a sucker for both you and trance remixes...
Also from my favorite remixes, there's the KO-SO-KO-SO one from Beach Mix (hotter than the original, damn), the TABOO remix from the single, BUT from DH1, ECSTASY from the single, Trust Your Love from DH2 and Can We Go Back from DH3. The LAST ANGEL remix in DH2 is okay, but the full version is also superb.

That's the song but unfortunately it's not the original one with the original pics XD

^I liked the suki dex3 remix as well. But yume no uta one for example was better.

[NintendoHTF1242]

I love the 1000 no Kotoba remix on...DH2 I think? Love that one.

[do it again]

Let's Party [KOZM® Remix] from DH5 slayed every other remix ever.

I used to hate that parody version of BUT so much back then because of the lyrics. I thought it wasn't fair to do those. -.-'

And my favorite remixes are TAKE BACK [Sunset In Ibiza remix], Suki de, suki de, suki de [AILI's Warmy Remix] and Shake Hip! [John Fontein (RE:LABEL®) Remix] because they're awesome♥

[orangeakira]

Teaser [Caramel Pod Dubstep Remix]

I loved B&L, but it was a best ballad album, with some very light new arrangments.
What I'm talking about when I pray for an Kuu acoustic album is something magnificent, like MY STORY CLASSICAL by Ayu, or either a very stripped down cd with just Kuu voice and a piano.
Either way, something DRASTIC.

[ayumisrael]

kuu's BOUCNE & LOVERS was like ayu's A BALLADS, not MY STORY classical/A CLASSICAL.

It could be nice I suppose, but I hope she would choose good songs for that.

Mentioning BOUNCE & LOVERS, it probably has my favorite shoot and hairstyle by kuu ever.
The concept of the shoot seemed like it had nothing to do with the content though lol, kuu's being shot near the sewers, but it was her best look ever.

Well, when I talk about acoustic orchestra albums, I meant something like ayu-mi-x 4 acoustic orchestra version. Not any of those classical albums because personally I don't really appreciate those that much. I don't even see those as real acoustic orchestra albums because they sound so different... more classical. Acoustic orchestra albums has more variety as they may include pure acoustic versions like the one Ayu had for Endless sorrow on ayu-mi-x 4. :3 And that's exactly what I want from Kuu's possible acoustic orchestra album.

[Heavenly]

Ayu can do Acoustic albums because she has a lot of beautiful ballads and mid-tempo songs that fit that style.... If Kuu make an acoustic album, it would be like 15 "stay with me"-like songs with strings and piano...... Hirk!

[sora-kara]

i'd love to see her pull out something like an enka style self cover album. or a jazz lounge style one.
her deeper voice is lovely, but we don't hear it all the time. styles like that would bring it out, and allow for rearrangements that are really mature, but sultry at the same time.

[toLOVE]

B*tch Mix is her best remix album. The only decent remix on Driving Hit's 6 Crank Tha Bass feat.OVDS [OVDS Remix], the remix sounds soo much better than original.

Like in Intro ~Get Down~ where her voice was really sexy! I wonder if she still can use it like that... She can't do the you from ~second session~ tour ending falsetto anymore apparentely. (Since she didn't do it since) but she probably can still do the lows.

Can someone tell me about Bon Voyage Tour in May? Which day it shows? How can I buy ticket?

I may have a chance to go there in that month?
Thanks
