Ayumi ~ The Anything Goes Thread 9 ~

[stepYOU1234]

Oh yeah I forgot about remix albums. I guess because Western artists don't really have them? Japan tends to separate 'original' and 'remix' albums. Probably because of the number of remix albums Ayu has released!

[Refix]

Is there any possibilities that Ayu will sing a supposedly duet song by herself? I really like Why... feat. JUNO. I hope she can do that without making it sound weird. And no, I don't count her background vocals in the band.

I don't think we're ever going to hear that Plug Air Remix of XOXO.

Anyone know if the first ayu-ro mix has an obi, slipcase or anything of the sort?

Thank you for your help! Really appreciate it.

I'm just on twitter and felt like doing something so i made an emoji story of Ayu's career and tweeted to her ((out of boredom oops)). I did leave out a lot of important events but well this is the gist of it i guess lol. Happy Thanksgiving guys.

edit: s*** I LEFT OUT HER HEARING LOSS *SMACKS HEAD*

I never knew how much I liked that song until I got FIVE just recently. His voice is so pretty, and so is hers. My favorite parts are in the verses right before the chorus where he sings a note and she echoes with a higher voice than I'm used to hearing her with. Her vocals are really superb in that song!

I wish JUNO would do another song with her!

[mi|kshake]

Yeah I really enjoy Why too! It's so underrated! I just love the general Ayumi-ish sound of it!

[terra]

^IKR! Why is one of my favorite track in FIVE. I like it much better than ANother song because of the signature Ayu pop-rock ballad style

[DonkeyKongRemix]

EXACTLY it's so well done. There isn't a note in it that annoys me.

I wonder why she started to refer to her dancers/team/staff as "monkeys" LOL

[chocopockymaster]

You guys make me wanna check Why again. I think that this is my least favourite ayu song ever (and I like 99.9 of her songs). The thing is that the chorus is annoying. Instead, I really love ANother Song .

[DonkeyKongRemix]

@Surreal17
I think there are quite a few people who don't care for it, so you're not alone. I love it for her vocals (and his, too!) and I think the song itself is very catchy.

But then, Song 4 U is one of my new absolute FAVORITES of her (it's at least my 3rd favorite song of hers right now), but a lot people find it to be boring. My tastes are apparently... a little different compared some other peoples'. XD

[terra]

^Me too, I love Song 4 u although the ToX2 Mix should've been incorporated to make it more epic because the original arrangement seems a bit short.

I like Why because it's her signature pop-rock ballad, I mean I have never heard anyone do such thing before so I really like it. I know the song structure is a bit boring and usual but I just love the sound. Plus JUNO's vocal is good, imo it's much better than Naoya's.

Between the single covers, the preview of her Hikki cover, and the MSta Super Live announcement...Ayu has completely slayed me this morning and I'm not even out of bed yet

[owlflight]

With all the news today, I am sensing an Ayu listening marathon to celebrate. Gorgeous covers! Tribute preview sounds very promising!
