Ayu: Anything Goes [XXIX]

[indigochild]

I still don't get the Love Song-Last angel-Virgin Road trilogy lol

Like... was she alive in LS? Or already dead? Because at the end of the video she's dead? Did the police kill her? And in LA, who is the other girl? Who was she running away from? In VR are they in their ideal "heaven"? I am confucius

The trilogy follows more of a dream logic and most likely isn't meant to make total sense.

If I were going to give it a take, Mannie is haunting Ayu, either literally as a ghost (he steps on a puddle and no water spashes in Love song) or as an ex-lover she can't move over from. She dies and goes living an idealized romantic afterlife with him, either literally or as a projection she has of him as a lover.

Guys have any of you purchased from mercari? Is there an option to message sellers? I can’t find it. There’s a thing I want to buy but it’s quite expensive, the seller says in the description he does consider lowering the price so I’d like to see how much lol

I was just thinking which album was the first one I didn’t fully enjoy. That would be RnRC. There are some songs on this album that I don’t listen to at all. Such as: Last Links, meaning of Love, Sunset and Sexy little things. Love songs is an exception. I love all the songs on this album. And after that, there are songs on every album that I don't listen to at all and I don't like them very much. But before RnRC, I love all the songs on all the albums. There’s only one song from older albums that I don’t like, and that’s girlish. This song is so annoying. Is there anyone who loves this song? How perfect it would be if the last song on the Duty album was ever free. That would be the perfect ending. I just wanted to share my thoughts.

^for me there is not a single song I don't listen to here and there but there is a list of songs I don't listen to on purpose or I dislike for a reason or another.
It's not limited to never music but spread across all of them. Examples are:

half of ASFXX ( including FRIEND, Wishing, As if.., For My Dear, Present and Two of us), LOVE destiny, Grateful Days, connected, Hello New me, Angel, ever free, Key, beloved, kanariya, sakura, Thank u, close to you, red line, my all ...

just to name a few

also angels song and honey are not always welcome, yet i don't dislike them.

"As if..." is amazing, but as far as I know, Ayumi has never performed it live or re-sang it, so it's just remembered in that voice that Avex made her use for A Song for xx.

[pedronekoi]

6 years ago she started the Cirque de Minuit Tour! My favorite concert and also the first time I saw her live <3

[Toniayu123]

My brain can’t handle that 2015 was 6 years ago. It was an awesome tour indeed.

[truehappiness]

Time has flown by in the Just the beginning / TROUBLE era but I wonder where things will go now with MUSIC for LIFE and the Asia tour... and beyond?

[KittyKathy]

I would scream to see her perform As if... Although I'm not sure how that would sound with her current voice. As if... is my second favorite song on the ASFXX album.

[RealLight]

^ I think she'd sound fine. Everybody was wondering (and a little worried) what kanariya would sound like and when she finally sang it, it turned out pretty good.

[Lyssayu]

Just for fun on the Pei rumors, I saw on Insta that he posted this photo last month:

Spoiler:

... and guess what shoes are shown on Ayu's Insta

Spoiler:

coincidence?

[BlackSilence]

^HA, nice one.

SO, has anyone ever wondered what the fabric is that Ayu has been using a lot in her live show wardrobe? The flowy stuff that she used for one of her performances of Together When at CDL '12-'13? And also the Brillante one on that red dress..I've always wondered what it was, and i think i just randomly found it. It's "super organza" most likely made by Amaike company (they are japanese) it's the lightest fabric that exists - about one fifth or sixth the thickness of a hair. No wonder it looks so magical when it moves.

It's amazing fabric- I think it's shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7LzlVDG2CM and she goes through other similar fabrics. I reckon Ayu is most likely to use the Japanese fabric company though. I think I could watch videos of the fabric floating in the air all day

I love the fashion lol.

But really I’ve always been impressed with the tone and clarity of her voice in these older lives. I do wonder why Avex had her sing so nasally? Was it to give her a unique sound?

[SunshineSlayer]

^I would guess it was because what was popular at the time were super high pitched voices.
