Exercising to ayu!!!!

[Melrose]

I prefer Namie Amuro or Koda Kumi, because Ayu's music doesn't really have nice excirsing beats imo. :3 And I can't stand her remixes..they're so bland, they hurt my ears.

For e.g I planned to jog for one hour, so i brought my walkman phone & earplugs along, and listened to the whole of Secret album x]

Omg, you can jog one HOUR?! I'm dead after 20 mins. o_o

LOL yesterday my spinning instructor played Fly high again. But this time she actually said: "Do you guys know who this is? it's ayumi hamasaki! The most famous japanese pop star. This song is in japanese. She's the japanese madonna". She was out of the bike so she kept dancing to it ahahh And I looked at her and giggled but didn't say a word. It really is undoubtful that she might be an ayu fan after all It was the third song, and I was already exhausted, but when I noticed it was Fly high, I did have an inner bust of extra energy to try harder LOL

Not the Madonna comment again. Ayu isn't a Japanese Madonna. >_> Slap the woman. : D

I guess it really depends on the type of exercise, the type of training and the type of song. I personally have a feeling her songs aren't very good for jogging, though I've actually never tried it, so I can't really say much. On the spinning, the remix of fly high that was played worked well though. About her remixes being bland, many are, specially the newest non-fanmade ones, but she has her share of good remixes imo tbh.

I don't like that comparison either, because I don't think ayu has anything alike to madonna's career other than:

-One being the "queen of pop" and the other being the "queen of JPOP"
-They both being the most succesful female singers over the years in their countries.
-Both being trend setters, etc.

However musically, they are completely different. ayu sings more about abstractions of feelings, love, and her conflicts and her personal experiences. madonna is a little bolder in that aspect as she sings about sexual/political/racial/religious/etc issues, etc. Also the types of compositions they sing is completely different. ayu often likes guitars and stuff, madonna is more into eletronic beats.

However, it's not like I really cared much, I mean, I was more surprised to find an ayu fan in my city, since I personally don't know any (other than the very few I've converted into her lol). And well, whenever we find articles on ayu over the net these comparisons are way too common. ayu herself was once asked about what she felt being compared to madonna in an interview, and she said she admired madonna and everything, so it's not like it's a huge deal imo.

My spinning instructor played HANA [ Dj Amaya 2006 Hitsuzen Remix ] today. It's a really awesome remix, soooo good, specially for spinning But I had never listened to it before, other than she playing it (I know DJ Amaya's remixes are really famous among ayu fans but I'm afraid I haven't checked them out yet) She had played it a few times already, but I didn't know the name of the remix or who did it. I tried looking through the ones I have from her discography, but no luck, so I kept wondering if it was an unnoficial remix. I tried asking her the name of the remix today, but she didn't know the name atm, and she didn't have it written on the cd paper case, but she told me she got it from some website, so I went there and found it.

She was saying all the time during the instruction how ayumi is so awesome ahahah Exercising could never be as fun and pleasing
