ayu-mi-x 7 opinions

[hsienko]

I liked all the remix albums. But if I had to pick one I didn't much care for, it'd be Ayu trance.

[perfectodub]

i haven't heard the HOUSE/EURO/EXTRA CD yet, because i' waiting for my box

about the TRANCE VERSION : i think "far away" "SEASONS" "days" are the best of the album, far away is powerful, SEASONS very original, Days is so good like the single version, the rest was very predectible (monocrome,vogue,endless sorrow)
"greatful days" was interesing,

i think ask Ramon Zenker to remix YOU was a mistake, i would like to hear a Ramon remix of a more serious song.
the work of Gelderen for "poker face" remain me the "depend on you" of Svenson/Guielen"..so i don't like it.
Moon sound very amateurish (in a bad way)
Rule...good try for make something different, but for me is weak

THE ACOUSTIC ORCHESTRA

HANABI, kanariya, forgiveness are the best tracks of the album.
the rest is just bouuuring...except for these 3 songs i'm not going to hear this album again, just i don't like how ayu's voice fits with orchestra, and the orchestra sounds very fake

everytime that i fall in love with a song (pop ballad or rock) is because the BEAT (base,rhythm)
So no beat? ...NO LOVE
anyway i have no problems with this album..because i knew how would be like

i hope HOUSE and EURO cds includes a few good remixes...(i have my hopes with jonathan peters,kupper and hex hector)
i will very satisficed with that. sometimes a couple of brilliant remixes is just enough to love a remix album. in fact i think the trance album is very good...just for those 3 great songs

I've listened to the Ayu-ro-mix and HOUSE.
The first one is nice, but it would be my least favourite overall. I mean, eurobeat is catchy and fun but it's too much repetitive imo. HOUSE was good though. I really liked the Bold & Delicious remix

So for me:

AO > Trance > House > Eurobeat

[Picaflor 7/4]

i was expecting more songs. She only remixed A-Asides. Rule, but not sparkle, Days, but not green, glitter but not fated. I felt like these albums were short they are all basically 12 songs long, and that's shorter than a standard studio album for her. Looking at her previous remix albums, they all also seem to only be about 12 songs for each disk, but considering this is a remix box set commemorating her having 50 singles, I think she should have gone all out and done at least all-all of the a-sides, or at least some b-sides.

So far house - dislike, trance - love, eurobeat - ok, ao - haven't listened to it yet.

[Zeke.]

I'm happy/content but yes, it does leave so much to be desired. Really wanted remixes of newer/album material.

[maikaru]

Maybe it's just me, but Blue Bird's AOV really shows how much editing the put in the original version... her voice is pretty bad in the AOV of Blue Bird =_=;;

I'm glad she doesn't sound like that now. LOL

In all, I love all the mix albums!! House, it gets boring after a while... >_> But Trance one is SOOO good. I love endless sorrow maybe the most.

[PoetGirl]

Im quite satisfied I must say. Trance is really good, I like all the tracks, euro is something I like or hate, for example glitter one I cant stand, its like they ruined my favorite song. Glitter is perfect just like that, dont touch it. House is pretty much the same, love/hate relationship, I adore Dearest one while I can't stand For my dear one. Acoustic album is perfect all the way. I apsolutely love it. Im always in love with acoustic and orchestra versions. kanariya and moments are heaven to ears.

[pride123]

I just listened to the acoustic orchestras for HANABI, You were..., forgiveness, LOVE ~Destiny~. All were awesome!

edit: the transitions from ayu-ro mix 4, from Fly high~Boys & Girls~Startin'~INSPIRE~talkin' 2 myself~ are not bad too!

Yea, I love ayu-mi-x 7, but they definitely need to release something like a 2DISC ayu trance 5 with lots of newer songs, album songs and single b-sides etc!!! Hopefully next year?!

BTW I do love the extended and instrumental versions of ayu trance 4 even more than the non stop album!

[Michan]

For me the best surprise was ayu-ro mix *-*!!! I liked almost every track !
This my ordem on best albuns: 1) Ayu Acoustic Orchestra = Splendid *-*. I can't stop listening to it. Best tracks: HANABI, Kanariya, forgiveness, LOVE~Destiny~. 2) Ayu-ro mix 4: I'm amazed with this remix album *-*. A huge surprise . Despite being all about happiness remix, I love it *-*. I feel so good while listening . Best tracks: talkin' 2 myself, STEP YOU, Depend on you, INSPIRE. 3) Trance: For me it was just an ok album. Some remixes are very good, but overall doesn't stand out as much as I thought it should. The best tracks: Days, SEASONS, Greatful Days. 4) House: For me it's pure boreness :X. The best tracks: fairyland, Bold & Delicious, crossroad.
My favorite tracks of all discs: kanariya and talkin' 2 myself
Btw evolution = STAR WARS

[MeltingCORE]

Everyone will probably kill me but the AO disk is the worst for me. XD I figured it'd be a hit or miss. It was mainly a miss. Only liked two songs from that one; You were... (Arranged by CMJK) and kanariya (Arranged by Yuta Nakano). I just didn't like most of the music. Uck. And the "Trust" arrangement killed me. I just don't like that Jazz/Lounge/I'm-in-a-restaurant sound. Not my style. Glad everyone else seems to be enjoying it though.

The best for me is definitely the Trance album! It's become my favorite right behind "ayu trance 2"! I love most of the remixers anyways (Remo-con, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Dance Nation, Aly & Fila, ect.) so I figured I would love this album. My favorite songs are: Greatful days (DJ JOKER vs. HEAVENS WiRE remix), vogue (Groove Coverage remix), Rule (Public Domain remix), and Days (Aly & Fila remix).

Second favorite is the Eurobeat album. I had figured I would love this one to since I love Eurobeat and recognized some of the remixers from GIRL NEXT DOOR's Eurobeat disc. Right now I'm playing the Eurobeat remixes on repeat. JUST SO FUN! My favorite songs are: talkin' 2 myself (EUROGROOVES fashion mix), Fly high (THE CLOUD UPSTAIRS SCP version), Sunrise 〜LOVE is ALL〜 (accatino - rimonti - festari remix), and glitter (AKBK "DJ Command" remix).

Third best is the House album. I've only heard previews basically so I can't say much so far. Need to get another iTunes card to get some more! I only have two of the remixes so far from this disk: Mirrorcle World (Johnny Vicious Club mix) and For My Dear... (HOUSE NATION remix). So far I like it!

I'm very pleased with these releases! Only one I don't really like is the AO. One dud isn't bad. I'm content with House, Trance, and Eurobeat. Glad to see everything in general is being received well.

Biggest disappointment this year... In my opinion many fan remixes on AHS are WAY better

[freedreamer]

HANABI AO is like the best AO remix of a song ever!!! :'(

[perfectodub]

Wooh
I'm impressed with HOUSE version...couse is just LAME!
no one awesome track in the whole list.

the worst:

07. appears (Shinichi Osawa remix)
i never liked the shinichi remix so here is no surprise for me)
05. fairyland (Hex Hector remix)
big deception!...i can't believe that the creator of the awesome
"kanariya main remix" did a work like this...the transitions of "verse" to "chorus" is so bad
and that ugly piano-keyboard of the background is the worst.....hex hector --->retirement
M (Remo-con remix)
a mix of trance, house, cheap sound...without good taste


the better (no best)

01. TO BE (Jonathan Peters Club mix)
not the best work of Mr Peters but is the most interesting of the CD
02. Dearest (Razor 'N Guido Club mix)
definitely this duo took the easy way and made a classic dance remix forgetting all their original house-deep-under roots....the remix works anyway
but i'm tired of Dearest dance remixes

03. For My Dear... (HOUSE NATION remix)
this was a nice surprise...i think is better than the original version...but a better version of "for my dear" never will be an excellent track

the rest are average remixes

ayumix6 was better than this.

the eurobeat i think is the best of the box collection....
all the first 7 tracks are greats

then ayu-trance (days, far away,seasons are the best)

and about acoustic version... i really don't care

[HilaryDuffFanboy]

vogue (Groove Coverage remix) is the best remix after listening to all of them.
Other good ones are
MOON (Clokx remix)
Free & Easy (Plum mix)
Dearest (Razor 'N Guido Club mix)
HANABI (Arranged by Shingo Kobayashi)
SEASONS (John O'Callaghan remix)
MOON (Clokx remix)

As for the best album.... tie between trance and AO... Both have really good but also some really poor tracks.

[magic_ayu]

just finished listening the ayo album, blue bird was a slight disappointment with the vocals... ,LOVE ~Destiny~ sounded a bit too predictable after more than 1 minute listening to the intro of this song, but still beautiful as always!

Trust & Audience sounded like some sort of japanese jazz band in different cafes I found on recorded on youtube not too long ago... it is these 2 youtube users I'm referring to: http://www.youtube.com/user/EigenKino#p/u http://www.youtube.com/user/numachyan lovely!

the rest of the songs are a mixed bag of goodies (in a good way) I don't mind listening to anytime!

still got house, ayu-mix, trance, euro-mix & the bonus cd versions to go..., sounds like more of a revival for me after not listening to ayu's songs (now currently on Hello!Project songs) for nearly 1 and a 1/2 years already..!

[zellyx]

does anyone else think that acoustic orchestra Kanariya is AMAZING??!
I love it...

overall, the acoustic orchestra album is pretty solid.

yes is Exquisite
is the best of the AO album imo

[magic_ayu]

just finished listening the euromix album... ! "Fly HIGH" is the only slight disappointment,but still ok with this one..! all of the rest are damn good, but heck I still prefer the 3rd euromix album over the others!
