Ayumi ~ The Anything Goes Thread 9 ~

[Surreal17]

I always had this opinion that children are much more open and imaginative in this world than the old ones do. Same with life same with music. They tend to feel things in the simplest and purest way. Same with ayu s first few albums - innocence, rawness, cruel sincerity, sadness mixed with joy and the list go on. And ever free is ayu saddest song ever. And also a fragile piece of music that didn t get the chance to be on Duty. One of my favourites too. What do you guys think of far away ocean view remix? I really love that version. It s one of the most beautiful ayu remakes in my opinion. It gives me chills, especially near the end when we get to hear ayu's "aaaaaa". It has this mysterious and rainy vibe, especially with those floathing ethereal sounds. It kinda reminds me of rainbow album and its somehow reminiscent of dolls.

what's all that about ayu not living in LA? I read it at the enquiries. Please someone explain it to me.. I am kinda lost

[truehappiness]

What thread did you see that in? I'm not sure why people think she isn't living in LA anymore...

I think she does, but just not in the house we saw her in previously since it was sold. It was thought to be a rental property that was not intended to be permanent. We see her travel back and forth so often that her only permanent residence seems to be her 'new' house in Tokyo and she lives in a new place in LA that we do not know the address to. (we knew the previous house's address after people did some detective work)

She probably wants to spend half of her year in Japan and half in LA if possible since she remained in LA for quite a while in the last year or so.

I just rediscovered Soldier by globe and Ayu would kill this song.

I did two paintings of Ayu. Can't wait to share them. One of them is a very simplistic, tiny painting of the cover to Duty.

I'm wondering what other paintings I should do of her. :3

Ooooh, I also thought about doing that for ages! (I'm studying Fine Arts), but I've never had the enough time to work on it T___T
Happy to see someone else did it!

I just saw your paintings, and I specially like the Duty cover (she looks like a comic superheroine or something! )

What about taking NEXT LEVEL visuals as a reference? They're really rich what comes to colours :3

does anyone have a theory what this video is supposed to mean? I'm very interested.
the ending is well messed up, looks like a cult... but why?

Hey, thanks a lot!! <3 Much appreciated. :3

You know what's funny? I was thinking about doing NEXT LEVEL so I think this is a sign. PLUS, my NEXT LEVEL CD is the last of three albums I'm waiting to arrive in the mail. So, it's been on my mind a bit recently. Yay!

I've been in a huge Ayu mood lately. And I don't mind, because it's been a whike I've felt this way. And someone mentioned Far away "Ocean View remix"? Gosh, that song gices me pleasant chills. It's that awesome. Duty era is perfect.

Also, I've been wondering where the audio rip of CDL 12-13 is. I was updating my audio rip collection two days ago and felt surprised because I couldn't find it. It wasn't released as a live album at all, so was it just simply forgotten or was I just blind when I couldn't find it? O.o

It's most likely hanging around the forum somewhere but it's also hosted here: http://hamasakiayu.blogspot.com.au/p/audio-show.html

I rewatched 3 of Ayu's appearances on Domoto Kyoudai yesterday. Her drawing "skills" crack me up.

[truehappiness]

They did credit you by name at the end of the post at least.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I love rediscovering songs. Most recently it has been SURREAL, Boys & Girls, and Far away. So amazing!

Far Away seems to be the thing right now!!

WHATEVER "Dub's 1999 Remix" is my life right now. Love it so much.

She needs to release a studio version of M ~PoM version~, it's just so kickass
