Ayumi ~ The Anything Goes Thread 7 ~

[marty]

Omg, every year on winter time I rediscover Two of us: it's so beautiful.
And of course, A Song for xx album is a must on Winter. And, even if I'm a little ashamed to admit it, I always listen to that M "nicely nice winter parade remix", from the M single. I know, it's M Idol Version, pratically an eresy, and it's so perfect I could cry (I want a little, disgustingly sweet idol dance for this M remix, thanks).

What ayu albums do you think are best suited for december (or winter in general)? for me it has to be her first two albums and of course LOVE again. Also,I don't know why but I always tend to overlisten to NEXT LEVEL in winter

[Livey~]

^ If you refer to NEXT LEVEL as album and not only to the song, because of Days maybe~

These days I can barely stop listening to Days. It gives me the Christmas vibe, along with Close to you~

Anyway, in my case Love songs wins in winter/december. Same for A BALLADS, but it doesn't count as an album

NEXT LEVEL the album I know it's a weird choice for a winter album but personally this album gives me loads of energyy
Ohh,I forgot 'bout Love songs ..i always considered it to have a november-december kind of vibe.

December is summer here in Australia so I always feel out of whack xD A fun upbeat song tends to be more welcome lol

In winter I like GUILTY, A Song For xx, Secret, A BALLADS, MY STORY Classical and A CLASSICAL.........plus just about any Acoustic version

NEXT LEVEL has some great winter songs as well but the album as a whole is more of a "spring" feeling for me because there are some cool upbeat tracks as well. RnRC might be OK for winter as well since it's less electronic...?

[marty]

The only Ayu album I feel is completely winterish, is A Song for xx; otherwise I just pick one or two songs here and there!
But GUILTY and R'n'R Circus are pretty good too, when I'm feeling less "dreamy and snowy winter" and more "cold and badass winter".

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Hmm....

I think MY STORY resonates winter with me most, because it was the first album I ever purchased during the actual release period, which happened to be winter.

I definitely agree. That album just resonates with winter...in a lonely/isolated sense. I feel that album would make me too depressed lol

[Delicious n Bold]

^ so that's two people who understand how I feel about asfxx
It's the winter jam album imo

[AyuWorld]

No Way To Say acoustic version

Heaven piano version

Jewel

these made me cry, so suit the winter feeling <333

[marty]

^
No way to say it with guitars = winter perfection!

[TeamAyu2004]

I never thought about it before but yes.
Winter is A Song for XX... its just... so... cold.
lol

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

Momentum is my winter jam

#better than your faves

Looking for a perfectly smooth XMAS-ayu-ish playlist!

Mine isn't flawless enough~

[ayu-michan]

Believe it or not, winter is the time of the year that I actually enjoy most of her works. It's kind of weird, but I'd say nearly all of her albums sound x100 better in winter lol... It feels like

whooosh

Yeah.

[mi|kshake]

Just creating my Winter Playlist and have now included No Way To Say (Acoustic Version) and have changed my laptop wallpaper to an Ayu-wintery one.

Me too.

I first got into Ayu in 2005, and since back then we'd get albums in Jan/Dec I'm more used to that + getting winter themed videos and singles just made me associate her with it.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Totes forgot how amazing the Decoy & DJ Bonka remix of NEVER EVER is.

[Refix]

Its kinda hard to pick one of her album that suit with winter season for me. I guess my choice is between Secret or My Story album. Each of them got a powerful winter song. Or gloomy song.
Secret brings a dark moody winter for me, while My Story bring a heartwelming winter feelings.

[mi|kshake]

I remember getting Secret on Christmas morning and watching the PVs! Would love her to release another album around November so I can get it as an Xmas present.
