Yup. i guess it's been like that all along. I don't understand why some here find it alarming or outrageous. lol.

BUT

it's not as though Ayu doesnt give us both I guess that's why I can never get into a Japanese idol group totally

[AyuGAME]

MOON cover is the best?!?!
LOL...
a lot of AHS people hates it a lot..
looks like japanese really has a different taste

I love Days too, and I really don't understand people's hatred for it. It's just absolutely BEAUTIFUL, the perfect ambiance, wonderful lyrics and sweet music fitting into a Christmas-y theme (something that always makes the child in me fawn) paired with a bout of bittersweetness. And the video is AMAZING!
I'm going to have to disagree with most people here, and say that I agree with most of the lists. MOON/blossom's covers were beautiful IMO, better than BLUE BIRD and M. I would have liked "fated" in the top 10 song-list but sometimes it feels as if I'm alone in being completely in love with that song. BLUE BIRD topping the video-list felt a bit weird, but I can agree with that the video's great.
In short, I agree with 80-90% of the results.

I completely disagree with this list. lol

Ballad, ballad, ballad, ballad, upbeat song, ballad, ballad, upbeat song, ballad, upbeat song but partial ballad. Then again, i doubt anyone would like my list cause I would have connected, alterna, endless sorrow, and jewel up there and none of them are "cute, furry, fuzzy, kawaii desu ne, adorable, sweet"

[AyumiAi]

None of these are what i would have expected ;p
but oh well

Only one of your songs would make the cut, this is singles only I believe.

Besides MOON, not that surprising... Seasons, M, SURREAL, Dearest and evolution (+Boys & Girls and Voyage) are her classics... No way to say, BLUE BIRD and HEAVEN already were pointed as fan favorites on the 10th anniversary poll and Days was pretty much a big hit considering how well it charted on digital sales... Nice to notice that there are songs from lots of eras, and not just a top10 made of old hits^^

ジャケット写真 BEST5 / CD COVERS BEST 5
01. MOON / blossom
02. Days / GREEN
03. Mirrorcle World
04. M
05. BLUE BIRD

MOON cover reflects what is trendy in Japan now... there are tons of female artists doing similar covers... not that surprising^^ The same goes for Days and MW.... M is a classic and BLUE BIRD is a fan favorite among her japanese and western fans alike xD *sexy ayu*

ビデオクリップ BEST5 / VIDEO CLIP BEST 5
01. BLUE BIRD
02. STEP you
03. Rule
04. No way to say
05. Days

BLUE BIRD and STEP you ranked pretty well on the 10 anniversay poll, actually, STEP you was 1st on that... Rule is a surprise, No way to say is considered one of her best videos among japanese (VMAJ for best video, or something) and Days was the most or the 2nd most downloaded video from chaku-uta when it was released... no surprise...

It seens that japanese liked NEXT LEVEL era in the end of the day o.o

[kumikomishitate]

...argh.

[pommy48]

Why &'s cover isn't on the list...I will never know T_T

[zoomzoom]

Pretty much explains her nauseating "cute" segments of her concerts, they eat that crap up. :/

There are some good choices though, I'm glad BLUE BIRD (the song, not the PV) got great recognition over her other summer songs.

[TeddyGrahams]

I love all the songs on the list! I think them all, except for moon are her best songs ever and it's what defines her as a Jpop artist. Those are the songs I usually recommend to others. So, this list wasn't that surprising.

[*hearT_Place*]

BLUE BIRD as the best PV? Really?? REALLY??

My list would be completely different, but, as other people have commented, it's interesting to see the difference between the preferences of Japanese fans and international fans.

Yes, Days IS insanely popular.. but more than M en SEASONS? Whoah, unexpected. All the lists are like the oposite of what I would vote for :p

Most of my friends who don't like Ayu will sing Days in karaoke, because PV is really good, and it's a great song for them.

Anyways, these results are not surprising. At all. LOL

[rakeru]

You can tell they remember some of the big classics and then focus on whatever's new. I'm kind of surprised that B&G didn't show up.

It seems they like her fluffier PVs...

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I expected Voyage in the top 10 list. Well, whatever.

[yamadashun]

they never get a rock song on the list :-(

[ownsarai]

I actually have to agree with this!! I love their choices~

[rusuke]

I'm also surprised with Days being at the No.1 spot but I love Days.

[Bigtop]

What the...Days? Umm...
