Ayu - Anything Goes Thread -XII-

[Gustavopc]

Hmmm, thank you all for clarifying it! Hell, the song sounds even more melancholic now (and I know I'll appreciate it even more)

I totally agree on that! I absolutely love monochrome and surprisingly I only discovered this song less than one year ago. I wasn't very fond of her old stuff until quite recently.

We don't know the meaning to Secret because Ayu herself said that if we knew her secret, it wouldn't be a secret anymore.

[truehappiness]

Secret iirc was alleged by Ayu to be full of secrets so it wasn't just one thing like the tattoo but that was one of them.

[Delicious n Bold]

Jesus, ayu was doing ArTPOp before Lady Gaga. Ayu's ArTpOp can mean n e thing. A reverse beyonce experience.

I've always liked secret the album. It was is just one of those very nostalgic songs, secret itself gave the album a lot of closure, and labyrinth is one of her better interludes.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I agree with the sentiments that Monochrome is one of Ayu's best songs. Lyrically, it is just so unique and intriguing.

I've heard weird rumours as to what Secret is about but I wonder how anyone could truly know the meaning behind it unless they were Ayu themselves. XD

By the way...

I think it was a few weeks back that I was struggling to choose between buying Love Songs, Loveppears, or LOVE again...and I solved it by choosing an album by an entirely different group. XD

^ definitely get Loveappears. Best pop album of that era of Jpop, hands down.

When I have money, that'll be the next album for me to buy (I'm hoping).

[paper_doll]

I don't think I ever really liked the Secret album that much. I'm due to give all her albums another listen, though. It's been a while. LOVEppears on the other hand - amazing.

Does anyone know if the Premium Showcase singles had OBIs? Plus, also where to find pics of the actual discs and not only scans?

edit: Just found pics in the PCS threads Seems like there is no OBI, but still, could someone confirm it?

Hell yeah, it's still my favorite song since I first listened to it in 2008. Wish Ayu could do something like that again. *sighs*

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I have a deep love for monochrome. Probably one of my first ayu songs.

Also, LOVEppears > Love Songs > LOVE again

Thanks for answering! I bought one this weekend but it seemed to have no OBI and I was a bit worried, but that's a relief hahaha

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^Same here, did not have any.

Agree so much on this
I listened to monochrome and immature as part of the megamix in ayu-ro and I instantly fell in love with those two.

When I listened to the song Secret, what crossed my mind that is was a suicidal note or some sort, a more sorrowful and mature version of POWDER SNOW.

[NintendoHTF1242]

monochrome is a good song. The remix on ayu-mi-x 7 trance is EVERYTHING. But from LOVEppears, my favorite song is probably immature.

[Minttulatte]

I love criminal so much that there isn't even enough words to describe how perfect and how epic that song is. I'm still praying for a live performance. I don't have a memory of her ever performing it.

Also, monochrome is amazing, too. I can relate to it pretty well. Ever since I listened to it first time, it hit me really hard. Definitely one of my favorites from LOVEppears along with appears, immature, Fly high and And Then.

I totally agree with you. LOVE again has some gems, but it totally doesn't charm me like LOVEppears and Love songs did.

Can I rant for a second about how much it sucks that there is no bluray of CDL 2011-2012!? I have my dvd in order of release and it annoys me seeing a dvd sticking out in the middle of several blurays! Sometimes I seriously think I have OCD.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Watching Arena Tour 2015 now, and I must take a break and say how awesome her vocals are. Loving this tour!
