Ayu: Anything Goes [XXI]

[truehappiness]

That poor single.

[Amalgam]

^ i don’t know if I’m crazy but I remember that there was a pink layout for Ayu’s site around the time that both Panasonic cms came out. But maybe it was for when Secret was announced as a mini album.
It’s funny how back then fans thought that it’d be much weaker than Memorial Address.

[ayumi_croatia]

Memorial Address > Secret for me lol

I was ultimately kinda meh about together when...
It was released on my birthday, but I couldn't even buy it at the time lol.

Then it ended up feeling more fall than winter (Secret in general gives me fall vibes) and so I never think to listen to it in my winter playlists. Even though I rank it higher quality than You were, You were feels more wintry.... so I listen to it more. Does that make sense? Lol

So in the end, together when kinda gets left out and forgotten when it comes to my listening habits.

My grandfather died, and then she released Together When...
It was the song I needed at the time. I am so glad it exists.

[Amalgam]

^ aww, Im sorry to hear about that

It’s funny how we associate music (and Ayu’s music) to our lives sometimes. I remember losing a friendship when I was younger and listening to Scar to help with the experience.

Nice price. I want to buy, but I don't understand Japanese.

Looks like AHS has had a lot of strange DNS issues today.

[Party_King]

Feel the love has a special meaning to me...
In October 2013 I've met my actual boyfriend, Feel the love is something like a theme song for our relationship ❤️

[AyuWorld]

my dream, wanna see Ayu x Panasonic CM again at least for her 20th anniv but that is not going to happen, maybe... or at least Ayu's face on the Shibuya 109 again, maybe Im being too ambitious but one can always dream xDDD

[Amalgam]

Does anybody know WHY Love ~destiny~ became Love ~Refrain~ on LOVEppears?

To add to the question, this song seems to be one of those overlooked songs in Ayu's discography.
Wether its due to the production being dated or being released in a group of very strong/iconic songs, I don't see it really get any attention lol.

This song always seemed like a bittersweet song to me and the vocals are superior to the single version xD

[Teppei-chan]

Irk Love ~ refrain~ was the original song that Ayu wrote but couldn't release ist as the single but I can't remember why. I think I read about this sometime ago here in the forum maybe I can find it. It's also possible that I mix up Things, so sorry if that's the Vase

Btw. I like both Love ~destiny~ and Love ~refrain~ but I like ~refrain~ better because it's more upbeat and mit as slow as it's counterparr

[Amalgam]

^ I've never heard anyone else say that they like it, I feel so validated lol

Ah, so it might've been the decision of an Avex higher up? That makes sense.
The lyrics don't give me too positive an impression in a certain way, haha

[pedronekoi]

I prefer Love ~since 1999~ with Tsunku lol

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Love refrain was the original, that's right. She was told it wasn't suited for the drama so Destiny was created. But she preferred Refrain so that's why it's on the album.

Strangely it's always been Destiny that's been performed in concerts.

[ayumi_croatia]

I prefer LOVE ~ refrain~ over LOVE ~ Destiny ~

Probably because it's the one people have seen/heard the most.

Daaaaaang that BR is cheap *_*

Man I have no expectations for her 20th anni right now lol I still really feel Ayu could reconnect with the general public with a more intensive media blitz and some charity....a big "problem" I guess I have with it is that someone who I really love and think highly of seems to be so disliked, or people are indifferent to her outside of her dedicated fans.

I just feel ayu's worth more than that.

but on the topic of worth is the new TA gift sponsored? lollllllllll

Also no Happy Box this year?

[pedronekoi]

^ That gift....... Super sponsored!
