A Complete always looked so pretty but, apart from the fact I have all her albums anyway, the one thing that put me off was that the guitar solo was cut from M. Why would you do that?!

So on iTunes, everything but Duty from duty, RnRC and love again are on it.
Love songs was uploaded today I think. I check Ayu's itunes periodically. |

^ I like both.
I prefer the guitar, but without it the song feels... "colder" to me somehow. And OH MY GODASAKi, these are perf! Last edited by ComatoseBunnySnatcher; 4th October 2013 at 06:03 AM. |

I agree with the unreleased covers, i loved them as well! It was so interesting to see what didn't make the cut, some of them would actually have made better covers in my opinion lol.
I didn't really like the album shoot however, her hair is amazing but she looks kinda uncomfortable.

Can I just say that since yesterday I read in the HARPER'S BAZAAR interview that Secret is Ayu's favourite album of hers I just can't stop squealing? Said it.
Of all of them, Secret. Ayu I just love you so much right now (and Secret). |

^ And A Song for ××!
But yeah, this answer gives me the idea that Secret represents something dear, precious for her. Look at the title. It really has to be important in a way that we'll never know. I remember that in interview she answered something like "Everybody has a secret, right?" at the question regarding the meaning of this title.

^ Really? I remember that it was supposed to be a mini-album just like Memorial address, but then they recorded more songs in a short time.
I can't remember where I read it, but that's what I.. remember Of course, I can be totally wrong..

Secret WAS suppose to be a mini album... but that doesn't change the way each song was recorded... momentum may have taken a long time, but other songs may have taken very little time.

I expected the choice of A Song for XX, because it was the first and all, but Secret was shocking! Among all of her album that could have been important (Duty, or MY STORY, or Love Songs, just to say some I expected) she chose Secret. Like... WHAT?? I'm just... so shocked! XD And we're never going to know why, because it's all a secret (lol), and she never really explained it, and it's such a gorgeous album, and she seemed so free and happy and satisfied at that time, and... I don't know, I'm just so happy it's Ayu's favourite!!

It kinda makes sense... wanting to do a mini album but then being hit with all that emotion and stuff to fill an entire album with music... and not just bland music, but amazing, epic, music.
I can also understand not picking her first album, where she was having that control battle with avex... and My story being all about gaining that control... while being a breakthrough, maybe not something she cares to remember. (miss)understood is just... weird. I like it and all, but there is something there that just... I don't know... Secret makes so much sense. LOL |

She stated somewhere that momentum took four days to record and it brings her to tears whenever she listens to it because it was just so much work.
She also states after finishing the Secret album she cried because she turned a mini-album into a full album in such a short time-span.

I wonder if that is tears of joy or sadness?

I feel like they missed an opportunity for her anniversary to release an Ayu encyclopaedia/photo-book full of unreleased photos, outtakes, assessments on albums, etc

And it makes sense too about the favourite album matter.
