Obviously you didn't read the list. Half of the songs are from the 80s and 90s. Even a few from the 70s.

Spoiler:

AKB48 has three songs, Arashi has two. What a joke. I can respect Southern All Stars (who have seven) but this is atrocious.

Gosh...have the Japanese really lost interest in Ayu??? Seriously!!!

Anyways, back to this topic for a bit:

And what about Rock'n'Roll Circus (April 2010, especially with the 'Lady Dynamite' song's music video that sparked a bit of controversy)?

^ Party Queen was rated NC16 as well. Meanwhile R'n'RC was PG.

Just as a note, Party Queen got that rating because of the how beautiful you are PV, not the cover.

Homosexual content in Singapore = controversial. It's the worst. Kuu's BEST ~second session~ got an M18 rating because of the Ima Sugu Hoshii PV

Mm, such blasphemy.

alterna is easily one of ayu's best tracks. About you, (miss)understood....greats tbh

But it's okay, you can have your unpopular opinion lol.

Same here. Even tho I get why everyone love some songs like alterna, I myself don't really care much for them

**DonkeyKongRemix** · #**311** 29th June 2015, 04:45 AM

Is the re-sung versions of Trust and Depend on You from A Best any good? I'm wondering because I just can't find them anywhere to listen to and I'm curious. I've listened to A Song for XX from A Best and I like it decently.

NintendoHTF1242 · #**312** 29th June 2015, 06:01 AM

I really love Terminal but the way Ayu sings it is just so awful at times. My friends love the instrumentation and whatnot but her voice is an incredible turn off lol

Zeke. · #**313** 29th June 2015, 07:41 AM

^her voice is seriously terrible in it. It does not sound at home with the arrangement at all. What a change from years back when her voice sounded positively at home within the trance genre.

truehappiness · #**314** 29th June 2015, 07:52 AM

Step by step in full is so goooooooood. Kind of unsure about some of the synth strings though, lol.

terra · #**315** 29th June 2015, 02:07 PM

Listening to Out of control again after learning of the setlist change, and I got reminded what a good song it is. A 'matured' version of call and letter.

Still tho I don't see this song replacing the darkness of (m)u

***oaristos*** · #**316** 29th June 2015, 02:32 PM

Out of control is one of my favorite tracks from A ONE. I'm sad she decided to replace (miss)understood though.

Gustavopc · #**317** 29th June 2015, 02:56 PM

Both are forgettable to me tbh. I am sad there was no Story in the tour tho :/

Ah yes, Story deserves to be performed live!

I don't know if too many people listen to Anna Tsuchiya around here. I'm really only familiar with her work from Nana, but I really do enjoy some of her songs. I was thinking while listening to Ayu's song "Criminal" how cool it would have been if she had a version of it similar to Anna Tsuchiya's Kuroi Namida (Deep Sadness version).

I love that there are two versions of Kuroi Namida because one of them introduces the listener to an intense sadness, and then the Deep Sadness version like...ramps it up and makes it more intense. I thought that kind of thing would suit Criminal really well.

Here's some links to her songs so people can hear what I'm talking about:

I understand what you're talking about, Kuroi Namida is the saddest song I've heard and it gives me the urge to cry, everytime.
♪ "Kuroi naaaaaaamida nagasu watashi ni wa..." the chorus is a cry from the bottom of heart, truly.

Criminal ~deep sadness version~ would be a suicidal song !
