Ayu ~Anything Goes~ XV (AHS' Ayumi Hamasaki General Discussion Thread)

[truehappiness]

I thought it was fairly obvious it was "something something Pride" especially when she did it live, haha.



Ayu brought the magic touch to these songs. GEO should do some more songs with her.

Though at the time it seemed like GEO was part of her plan to seem "less Japanese" at the time what with all the American stuff she was doing at the time and all the English in everything. He was good for songwriting though for sure!

I never noticed haha But I just listened to the CdM rip, and yeah I can actually hear it now lol

[Gustavopc]

OMG I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS AN ENGLISH LINE

I am used to this happening to Namie, but not ayu

[ExodusUK]

The same thing happened to me with Forgiveness.

[Chibi-Chan]

For me it was always "all of my pride". And I always loved that song. There are times I don't want to listen to it but whenever I come back to it I truly love it.

[oaristos]

I NEVER noticed there was a line in English in Pride!

[jean-baptiste]

I remember years ago someone brought it up and it surprised me too. Someone thought she said "Oh my goooooooood" and I died of laughter. I hear it every time the song plays now. Forgot which member it was lol.

[Aderianu]

one my friend (well, not really friend, but girl that know for a long time) named her daughter Ayumi. don't know how she will live with it, name pretty unusual

Hey guys, I am sure there is probably a thread for this, but I am planning a trip to Japan, and was wondering how long does Ayu usually extend her tours for, in terms of the final dates she adds on, and how difficult is it to buy tickets for these elusive dates outside the TA Lottery system? Also, how much do Ayu tickets cost for a decent/average seat?
Thank you!

I finally got round to buying Teens and got to say I am enjoying it. It's quite a sweet song. I hadn't bothered to buy it before because I didn't like what I heard in the preview but I was wrong!

Oh for the sake of all that is good and decent in the world, F**K NO. That shit that happens at :45-1:15 and again later in the track is exactly the reason I despise most EDM after having been an electronic dance music follower for 15+ years. Those lifeless drops, those repetitive and obnoxious sound effects. Whenever I hear that kind of stuff I feel it is the musical equivalent to an internet troll. I've had alarm clocks that make noises more pleasant than that trash.

i'm with you sister!!

I think I want Ayu to tackle genres she hasn't done before with this coming album.

Ayu doing some metal-ish tracks would be delightful.

Hah! I do love reading your opinions on music!

Yes, that would be interesting! I'd also like some folk-style music.

My friend has recently been in Japan for a few days and uploaded photos of her trip to FB today and I was very chuffed to find the billboard for A Best/Made In Japan in one!!

[truehappiness]

I think if anyone was going to try to tackle just about any genre of music (and do it well), it'd be Ayu. I just hope that she's in her experimental phase and has at least one or two out there tracks on the album.

[jean-baptiste]

If ayu could do trip-hop inspired tracks I'd be so fucking happy. I know she toyed around with it with HANABI and Over and some remixes, but I want some edgier stuff would be nice.

My Way was also a nice foray into an edgier sound using hip-hop. That would be welcomed (by me) as well.
