Ayu ~Anything Goes~ XVI

Anything for you is fantastic.

I finally got physical copies of her first three Eurobeat albums. They make me so happy! Fly high [Euro-Power Mix] brings such good memories... It takes me back 8 years. All of a sudden it's summer of 2008 and I'm laying on my bedroom floor with the window wide open, clouds soaring, and the music taking me far away. NEVER EVER (Eurobeat Mix) also brings the same memories. And I just love how the guitar seems to rain down from the sky in the opening of vogue (Traditional Mix).

Does anyone else like her Eurobeat albums?

The Eurobeat albums are fucking bomb! I listen to them during lifting sessions a lot. Heartplace (Dreamland Mix) is so genius I can't even put it into words. It always puts my energy and happiness level up to 1000.

I'm so glad to hear that! Heartplace (Dreamland Mix) is also one of my favorites from ayu-ro mix 3. I also really like monochrome [ayu-ro Extended Mix] from the first album. It reminds me of when I was in middle school. ^...^ Have you seen this guy on YouTube, he lives and breathes Eurobeat: https://www.youtube.com/user/Albion0217/videos? His dancing could use some work, but I appreciate that someone loves ayu-ro mix enough to make up their own dances for the remixes! It's so cute!

OMG I love that he has so many DDR tracks. Now THAT's what brings ME back to middle school, hahaha. I had my school agenda filled with the banners of all my favorite songs from the song selection screens of the games, lol.

[truehappiness]

I also love Eurobeat and ayu-ro! The Sunrise remix from the last album series was incredible.

When I was like 12 or 13, I grew up on mostly Ayu and SUPER EUROBEAT/Euromach/and so on.

I sort of hope one day we have a Eurobeat producer like the guy who does the Pony Eurobeat do the same thing for Ayu tracks. I'd do it myself but I'm unsure if I have the capabilities, lol. Always been interested in potentially remixing but a little apprehensive about starting.

[truehappiness]

Hana Nishimura, iirc. I don't think they ever composed much if at all since then.

Mine is slightly different: Out of control > Last minute > Story > Anything for You

Had a random dream about ayu the other night (first time I ever dreamed of her) it was in a really strange venue with a big balcony and a ground floor and she was on the ground floor on the same level as some fans (there weren't a lot of people there so maybe it was a rehearsal??) and the fans were sitting there just watching her sing, and then she sang last minute in a very calm manner (so un-ayu-ish lol) and then before the chorus she looked me straight in the eyes and I wanted to lipsync along the "Saigo no egao nante.." part (in the last chorus) but the instrumental part there was extended and she was on a rising platform so she chuckled when i lipsynced to nothing lol I was embarrassed in my dream...

That's cute. ^^

She really should record a song titled "Butterfly". lol
What started it anyway?
But the original "from your letter" which is actually a remix thing went on for quite a long time, too.

I wonder who came first with this misconception? If it were 1 or even 2 videos, it would be a coincidence, but there are actually dozens of them lol

[truehappiness]

It's been going on for the last 20 years or so, LOL.

I remember one day when my husband wanted to impress me and said "oh, I used to listen to this song by Ayu when I was a teenager!" and it was Butterfly It was really cute tho

[Ryusei]

To me it doesn't even sound like ayu's voice at all so I also wonder who came up with this lol

[truehappiness]

Someone on Napster or KaZaA.

[love in music]

I've been in an ayu mood lately because of her outstanding new album. Put her songs on shuffle and Why... feat. JUNO came up. Not sure why I didn't remember how good this song was, but it's really good. I forget how AHS felt about it, probably bad lol. Anyone else love it?

I think I'm one of few people who loves that song to pieces.

If I recall, everyone enjoyed it more than ANother song. I haven't really bothered with the version with Urata but the original with JUNO is flawless. Perfect song tbh.

I was just looking around the eneabba website and I wish someone could continue or start a new website as perfect as this one. I truly is the perfect guide for ayu fans and collectors. I wish the person who had it would start updating again.

Anyways fun fact. While looking around I saw the area dedicated to the BLUE BIRD single and I just never knew that there were 2 different covers for the cd+dvd ver.

I love the song too as I did all of the stuff on FIVE.

HOWEVER...

I like the Urata version more, lol.
