no one can't possibly not like that. the tum tum part. People, seriously.
I guess I'm too into Jtrash.
Plus I love when she makes me go deaf in the chorus of YOU.
"KIMI GA INAKYAAA"
I'm not even ironic.

ps. THE SMILE OF DOOM. XD In someway your edit of it it's even creepier. In a good way. It's like that "I want to kill you" aura got all condensed into the eyes only. She's planning something.

edit: Now I'm listening to Asfxx. I hope you're happy. Look what you've done.

I really do like ASfXX
It's the underrated gem in her discography

I just read the translation to Ivy from LOVE again and I am again amazed at her lyrics.

[toniayu]

I just thought it would be really cool if she release her 15th album on April 8th to finish the celebration of her 15th anniversary

[NintendoHTF1242]

Ever since my CDs came in, I've been listening to Ayu non-stop. I have forgotten how flawless BALLAD, count down, Don't look back, NEXT LEVEL, rollin', Love song, MOON, sending mail, Thank U, etc. are like ughhhhhh!

You have forgotten how flawless ayu is in general.

I think a lot of people are just tired of her regardless of what she releases (amazing by opinions of masses or not).

I think that Feel the love is one of the best up beat songs she ever released, The chorus is in my head since the Team ayu preview release (and is my ringtone too).

Most liked Merry-go-round, I do like it (and Verbal in it <3) but I seem to enjoy Feel the love a lot more.

This. Most of the things that she released somehow always get complaints at first, but then they started to grow on people. I've been playing FTL non-stop recently, and the chorus is just so fun to listen too.

I've been loving Feel the love ever since the TA snippet leaked, and I'm not even tired of it yet, it's like this song is a drug

I can confirm this. I used to dislike, "You were..." and "Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~", but actually taking the time to LISTEN to them, I've come to appreciate them. So whenever I receive LOVE again in the future, I'm gonna sit down and listen. Because I've noticed ever since with NEXT LEVEL I just breeze through her albums and end up not liking them. But after a couple years, they all finally just sank in.

Guilty! Merry-go-round > Feel the love, in my preference. But Merry-go-round was one of my favorite songs of last year.

[jiarongisme]

I think Merry-go-round is a freaking masterpiece. It's contemporary and current, yet at the same time has the signature Ayu sound. I didn't like the rap parts at first, but now I feel that it makes the song that much more dynamic and interesting. Really great song. One of Ayu's best in a while.

I always say it: everything you say about a song or an album in the first year after the release is rubbish. Once 365 days passed, you can actually have an opinion about it, lol.
But I tend to have the opposite problem with Ayu: I love everything TOO MUCH! And then I have to wait until the excitment is gone to truly discover how I feel about her last songs, lol.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Pray is really beautiful.

[Livey~]

^ I need lyrics now.

You're right. I mean, you can like a song for 1 week or one month and then you kinda forget about it. But with ayu, I tend to appreciate more her songs after a period of time has passed since the release. She has those kind of songs that take time to be digested well..and that is a very good thing in many ways

[tsumekaze_]

IS THIS THE PLACE WHERE I CAN FANGIRL OVER PRAY?

[ame-na-otoko]

Pray is very dramatic indeed.

[Surreal17]

Pray is beautiful.

[rainbow_smile]

Pray is indeed beautiful. This instrumental <3

[chocopockymaster]

Guys, I can't even handle the epic-ness that is Pray.

Not only is it beautiful, and well-produced, with a deep and moving arrangement, but it just fits in so PERFECTLY with the rest of her discography. I hear Ayu in the song. Does that make sense? There are some parts that remind me of "meaning of Love" (which might be the greatest mystery of my life, because I consider that song to be a blight on her discography, but I can hear echoes of it in Pray's chorus)....and I swear the piano at the end leading into the last stanza was lifted straight from the stripped-down HANABI a-nation performances.

This is a song only Ayu can pull off. I love it way too much.

And the opening strings...EPIC.

Edit: scratch that; with the exception of one note, the piano before the last stanza IS HANABI. lmfaoooo

YES!! Just wanted to mention that the chords are exactly the same as in HANABI
