mte! The simplicity of the song just makes it more dramatic imo, it works perfectly

Criminal is still giving me the chills. It's that awesome~

GUILTY is still one of the few songs I can still listen from GUILTY along with talkin' 2 myself, Together When... and Marionette. Other songs aren't that awesome anymore. Maybe because I can't relate to them anymore. :/

GUILTY is such a great album. It has decision a.k.a. the song with the best breakdown ever!

Glitter/MY ALL are so out of place in it.

I like GUILTY as an album and as a song. I just love it as an album, it feels out of place to me in her discography for some reason. It was the 1st CD of hers for me to buy. I was totally hooked on it back when.

It has such a heavy feel about it. And the lighter/more upbeat songs actually don't take away from the experience for me, in fact, they kind of just emphasize the darker feelings mixed into the album.

I think for me, it was one of the albums she released that had that really unique, strong "Ayu" feeling. It was a little reminiscent of Duty for me, which I love.

Guilty was the first album I pre-ordered from Ayu. i became a fan around the (miss)understood era but being a rebellios teenager and all I was often grounded and didn't have access to a computer often so I was always late to the party. With Guilty I was around when they announed the tittle and when the first revealed the pv's and the covers and I remember being so ecxited and happy.

Guilty, the song, is beautiful in my opinion and I remember having it on re-play all the time when the album first came out and I remember that I was dying to see a live performance of it. We never did get one did we? I remember it wasn't performe during the Asia Tour but has it ever been performed in any other tour or CDL? What a shame if it hasn't!

Surreal17 · #87 28th September 2015, 07:35 PM

It hasn't been performed. Maybe she'll do it at the TA Tour.

I don't listen to GUILTY anymore since i overplayed this album when i became a fan which is a pity because i love it and the song is ♥

GUILTY (the song) was kind of a letdown when the album was released. It sounded very anticlimactic and forgettable. However, I enjoy the atmosphere the song creates now, especially now that she has released many shittier songs by comparison.

lmao. I feel you on that though. Songs that I used to hate sometimes aren't quite as bad as I thought they were because I know she can do worse.

There was nothing that stood out to me when that album came out. It's one of the blurs in her discography for me.

I loved the album. I felt it was more polished than Secret, definitely. I did feel it was rather short, as in, not much new material to consume, but I do consider it one of her better albums.

**DonkeyKongRemix** · #92 29th September 2015, 04:04 AM

I like how GUILTY possessed an enhanced, improved style compared to Secret. It makes me think of in my art courses how we learn from the last painting we did, take what we learned and refine it and improve it in the next piece.

Truth.

GUILTY is that album that I love and hate. I looooooove rocker Ayu and so when the album was released and it was mostly rock songs I was sooooo freaking excited. But the songs are repetitive and have either been performed so often that I'm just meh about it now or are just out of place (Glitter/MY ALL. I do like those songs, but on that album? No thank you.)

However. All that said. Decision is a beast, Guilty (the song) is haunting, Together When is great (to me) and Marionette is perfect storytelling when it comes to music/lyrics (again. that's just my opinion, but I love the dramatic ride it takes me on.)

MeltingCORE · #94 29th September 2015, 11:13 PM

GUILTY was the first Ayu album I heard and bought. It's still my favorite album of hers. I remember the day I bought it, I listened to talkin' 2 myself 50 times in a row. I also tried to sing it many times and that came out crappy. Would love to try and cover it now that I know how to sing and play piano.

And hey guys, what do you think of this user? https://www.youtube.com/user/adooph3 Personally, he ticks me off because all his "remixes" are just Ayu's vocals slapped on pre-existing Trance songs. For example, when I nicely pointed out that his "remix" of Rule was a mashup and not a remix because he put the vocals over Sunny Lax's Reborn, he screeched at me, deleted my comment, blocked me, and deleted the video. I really wish I could report him or something for art theft, but it probably wouldn't get far since Ayu and uplifting Trance aren't super popular. It just annoys me because he tries to claim the backing music as his own, but it's just not? I know these songs lol.

Delirium-Zer0 · #95 30th September 2015, 08:24 PM

Ugh, that guy.

It upsets me because I really like the mash-ups, and if he admitted that's what they were maybe we'd get full(er) length, high quality downloads of them. Everyone does mash-ups, they DO take some talent & work to get right, so why not be proud of the mash-ups, post them on soundcloud or something, and stop being so dodgy?

But no, he's pretty much just an unreasonable crazy person x_x

Heavenly · #96 30th September 2015, 08:46 PM

The thing is, the sound quality of his remixes (or mash-ups) is extremely bad, and to me it spoils the whole track...
Plus we never get to hear the full length tracks !
I like his work, but it's barely done...

Minttulatte · #97 30th September 2015, 10:10 PM

Ugh, those mash up remixes that guy "did" are horrible. I have heard many better ones.

The Sweet Season one though I always loved! I have an intention of one day sitting down to replicate it in my own high quality mix because I love the overall warmth of it. It's a good blueprint for a mix.

Great, now I wanna listen to it but I can't find it. :S

Hi guys...I want to share this new single from Akina...

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...24#post3166624

I really want Ayu to go into this direction...I can imagine Ayu sing this kind of song without problem. I think she really need to work with new arranger and composer.

I mean if Akina who is 50 years old can sing this kind of song..which is very modern and very current. Why Ayu not?

Akina getting a new peak..with her latest best album and now this single is out and doing really well in the recochoku chart.
