"A COVERS" - what would Ayu cover?

After Ayu completely nailed Movin' on without you, I think many fans think a cover album is in order.

What do you think Ayu would pick to cover? What would you want her to cover? Do you think she'll ask fans for their suggestions whenever it happens? I'm not really sure myself but I can see her doing some oldies and maybe some stuff from fellow avex artists. Who knows how they'll do licensing with other tracks from other labels if it comes down to that.

I wonder just how well an album like this from Ayu would sell because cover albums a BIG deal in Japan and can even make those who sell less than 5k with a typical studio album sell well for weeks!

Honestly I don't really like the idea of cover albums, I much rather see her working on original songs, but if she was to release a covers album and if the covers were as good as Movin' on without you, I am sure I would love it anyway.

I think it would be a nice release for her in addition to original material. I wouldn't want her to NOT do an original album just because of a cover album.

*cough cough* May J

Idk though because Koda Kumi's last cover album sold less than her last studio album.
But Ayu's Movin' on without you cover really left an impression on japanese people didn't it? The video of the song performed at CDL on her official channel has been viewed 888 000 times whereas Zutto...'s video has been viewed less than 100 000 times, so unfair imo, i don't like it that people suddenly have an interest in her because of a cover but doesn't care about her personal work I mean if upon discovering the cover the general public was like "Oh she did great! Maybe we were wrong forgetting about her, let's go see what she's up to now!" it'd be great, but this is not happening.

I don't know if i'd like her to do an album full of covers, i like it that she does some from time to time, but if she announced that she was going to release an album full of those, i wouldn't be excited.

I think it all comes down to song selection and promotion. Also if people like you.

I have always thought she would do a great rendition of Namie Amuro's HimAWArI.

I saw another thread where the question was which globe song should ayu cover, and I began browsing their discography. I think ayu should definitely cover some globe songs, like DEPARTURES, wanna Be A Dreammaker, and seize the light.

I wouldn't mind a cover album.
Too bad it would be certainly a whole globe's cover :/

Not hating globe though, I just want something different like Movin' on Withou You for once lol

1. D.D.D. from Koda Kumi
2. 今すぐ欲しい from Koda Kumi
3. BUT from Koda Kumi
4. Juicy from Koda Kumi
5. TABOO from Koda Kumi
6. Ko-So-Ko-So from Koda Kumi
7. Lollipop from Koda Kumi

I am joking.

I could totally see Ayu doing something like The first finale in me, Sabaku no Yuki, and Bizarrerie Cage. That would be amazing.

I think a cover album would be a great idea. Kuu's ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~ is one of my favorite albums. If we made realistic tracklists, I hope it would look something like this:

01. Haru yo, Koi (original: Yumi Matsutoya)
02. LIFE (Original: Mika Nakashima)
03. mind forest (Original: GACKT)
04. Nanpasen (Original: Akina Nakamori)
05. Itsuka no Merry Christmas (Original: B'z)
06. by myself (original: hitomi)
07. OVERNIGHT SENSATION (Original: TRF) *see Ayaka Hirahara's cover*
08. Moving on without you (Original: Utada Hikaru)
09. Honnou (Original: Shina Ringo)
10. Zettai Zetsumei (Orignal: Momoe Yamaguchi)
11. Koigokoro (Original: Nanase Aikawa)
12. Natsu no Tobira (Original: Seiko Matsuda)
13. DEPARTURES (Original: globe)
14. The first finale in me (Original: MELL)

I tried to mix in a few well known classics, and few of them are not realistic, but you never know!

Lol Ayumi loves a lot of other japanese artists ^^

First she is a fan girl of southern all stars's singer (Keisuke Kuwata) I would love a cover of his song "Shiroi Koibitotachi" (she sang this song in 2002 it was fantastic).

A studio version of Haru yo, koi by Matsutoya Yumi would be amazing too !

I actually have this weird feeling Ayu might try to cover Miley or Katy or Beyonce if she could.

But I wanna believe that she could reach those high notes again.

I don't really mind her current voice too to cover the song again as long as the arrangement's the same with that TV performance

I'd love her to make a studio cover of Akina Nakamori's Shoujo A!

As for WHAT she would REALLY cover, I'd guess she would cover globe, Seiko Matsuda and probably even AAA
