HAHA I do this too!! I'm just like "Hey...wanna see a weird music video?" then I put on Ladies Night

[Yumsushi]

How no matter how much bad music she may have, she can still release awesome music to make me love her again ie Love songs minus November and Moon

[waterballoon]

hardest topic! I love her sfm... I think just discovering her and listening to her awesome songs is my biggest satisfaction!!

[wildconnetta]

Her PVs are always unique!
Her albums are great (except ASF××)
Her voice
CREA
Her staying power
LIVE PERFORMANCES

Just everything...

Okay. A list of my satisfactions when it comes to Ayu:

--Ayu herself. I love her personality. I love how hardworking she is, I love the lyrics she comes out with and how her music very rarely lets me down.

--Her live shows. She always puts an epic shows each and every year and it never gets boring to watch for me

--Her PV's. Even though most of them aren't anything special there's always a few out of them that are just unforgettable works of art.

--And lastly; Ayu's music has effected me in a way no other artist ever has. I can actually relate to her lyrics and feel the emotion of the songs she puts out. Her music has gotten me through some seriously tough times. She has opened my eyes (and ears) to all sorts of other music I wasn't into at all before I discovered her and for those reasons she will always be my favourite artist.

Recently, I'd say Love Songs, specifically crossroad.

Crossroad has this really warm feel to it, a certain richness. It's emotive without being dramatic or in-your-face. I love it when Ayu makes songs like that. A lot of her discography is like that, but I've not felt it so much on newer albums.

While there a few songs I'm so/so about on Love Songs, after disliking the past few albums, it was amazing to have songs like November, Love Song, Last Angel, Virgin Road, sending mail and like a doll.

Overall, pretty much everything that everyone else says, her energy, dedication, most of her lyrics and so on.

[ayu99persen]

the creativity of her,seems never minus.

[alternarist]

i am especially proud to be an ayu fan when she churned out Love songs just 8 months after RnRC. and Love song is really an album with quality.

Her constant releases of new projects be it concerts, mini albums, singles, performances is what kept me going on.

I don't understand the hate for MOON either. I fell in love with it the moment I heard it.

My biggest Ayu satisfactions would be...

Her honesty, Her personality, how much she appreciates her fans, her lyrics.
I love how Ayu is not afraid to try new genres in her music, she doesn't just stick to sappy ballads/bubble gum pop or rock, she mixes it all up.

Albums - I am..., (miss)understood, Memorial address, GUILTY, NEXT LEVEL, Love songs

PVs - Don't look back/BRILLANTE/Marionette are the ones that stand out to me the most.

Ballads - Days FTW! It will always be my favorite ballad, no matter what. And it always makes me cry.

[ayu_ready?]

I was surprised nicely with Love songs release because I hate RnRC and thought Love songs gonna be worse because too much plin ballads like blossom-crossroad. but I liked the booklet pics, although her face angles were horrific there,some really unpretty. and the material too. a nice surprise.

[kalikagai]

ayu herself, no doubt

her songs (whenever I like some or not), her power lyrics, her lives, her everything is ayu

definitely, I'm absolutely happy that I discovered Hamasaki Ayumi-san - her creations always resound in my heart

[Mimichild]

OHH MY....I'm sastifised with so much she's done (mostly in the past but her new stuff grows on me) I don't know where to begin!

Well I love virtually everything she's done that's opposite of what I dislike of her (PV, fashion, style, persona, lyrics)

But I'm most sastified with is that SHE'S AYU! She's not trying to be or look like anybody else. The motto that speaks to me when I see her says "I'm me and I'm going to be me either take it, love it or get the hell out!"

Oh yeah, and I love when she performs sad songs (when she's just singing not acting), I can always feel the power of her lyrics then!

MOON was a grower for me. But I eventually fell in love with it.

Although I do have another satisfaction to give in this thread; her performance of MOON on CDL 10-11 was absolutely amazing! If that doesn't convert any MOON haters then I don't know what will

[pepper]

^ MOON very grew for me. In the begining I was in "Its okay" state. So I don't understand the hate either ;D I kinda dislike PV for it (and for crossroad) because they are very pretty BUT BORING. They have meaningless symbols that don't fit the rest.

[R_Hikki]

^ "MOON" took a while to grow on me as well but it was the orchestra version that helped make me love both versions.

Ayu's music is timeless and for that I'm satisfied.

[rusuke]

- Her MUSIC of course.

- A Song for xx, LOVEppears, Duty, I am..., and RAINBOW.

- Her philosophical aspect. She's just admirable.

- Her "Fashion sense" during her earlier times.

- Her never-ending experimentation in all aspects of her career.

- Her FIGHT-FIGHT and never-give-up attitude. That's Ayu!

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Ayu is a sweet-heart and knows how to touch us. Her english titles are helping me out; so I actually get an idea what it could be about. The biggest satisfaction is her CREA-period and the Love Songs. Oh, and her recently cutted off hair

[Bubbly]

For me it's how kind she is with her fans, she seems to care about them alot and it makes me happy!
Also, for almost every mood there is a song and often her songs are able to cheer me up when I feel really bad. Also, she really made me appreciate ballads! I always used to find ballads in egenral boring, but she showed me that they don't have to be!
