Ayu - Anything Goes Thread -XI-

[DonkeyKongRemix]

Did Ayu ever sing Meaning of Love live?

[Zeke.]

For me, Meaning of love is amongst the worst. It is one of the very very few AYU songs I have actually deleted from my collection entirely. I was constantly annoyed by it.

Beloved on the other hand, was just dull. Eventually I gave the orchestra version a chance and ended up replacing the original on FIVE with that version in my collection.

Haha, I am totally not surprised to hear you say that. I didn't start enjoying Meaning of Love until I heard the orchestra version and I learned to like the melody of it.

I think on Rock n Roll circus, I prefer Sunset ~LOVE is all~ to the other ballady songs on there. But when it comes to ballads, I can't make much sense out of the ones I like most and the ones I don't care about.

Can someone tell me if the 320 TeamAyu version at Jpopsuki is legit? It has some VERY noticeable static noise after The Show Must Go On Ends. Also, when comparing to rips of other albums, A ONE seems to have less of an impact and power behind it.

If you have a different rip, can you notice the static?

I ripped the album from my copy of the CD and yes, I can hear the static, but only when I turn the volume very high. Same as jpopsuki.

She sang it at RnRC Tour, but only on a few dates, so it´s not on the DVD

[truehappiness]

I think all the songs from Rock'n'Roll Circus were performed at one point, just not all of them made it to DVD sadly.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

Well, I'm glad to know that. I like Meaning of Love. I think the background music is catchy.

Beloved and Meaning of Love are like some of the most generic ballads she has, but I like them regardless. Sometimes generic songs are easy and fun to listen to when I need music in the background while I work on my comics.

What I really want to hear from Ayu/her team is a big mash-up of some of her biggest hits. I'm thinking something along the lines of the video that Namie used to promote Ballada--they mashed parts of every track from the album together but edited it into the length of a single song. idk Ayu's team kind of tried it with the summer mash-up on the Sunrise/Sunset single but they pretty much just phoned it in, lol. Anyway, this is the Namie video I'm talking about:

This video is SO cool and well-made, Namie is not my favorite whatsoever but I must admit that her team usually do an amazing job promoting her!

Omg thank you very much. When I arrive at the pc I'll download it.

edit: wow, her vocals on Meaning of love are so good. Too bad that it only shows a part of the song.

There are issues converting FLAC. Like, it's a lot more complicated than it sounds, something about "Truncating" I think.

[HarukaKamiya]

never had any problems with any of my converters from FLAC to mp3 for my friends but then again I'm strictly a lossless person unless it involves my ipod so *shrug*

My bad, it was actually something called "dithering."

^ but is converting from FLAC better than ripping from the CD itself?

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I'm listening to Dearest (Depth Nostalgic Windmix) and I'm really liking it.
