Day 18: A song from the month you were born
March has surprisingly many songs I love! My choice is Moments, one of the first Ayu songs I was introduced to and fell in love with. I kind of fell out with the song over the years, as it is on the long side and the lalalas can get a little tedious. But lately I've fallen in love with it again: it's grand and sweeping, the melody is beautiful (and I really love to sing along with it!), and the lyrics are so good, I'm obsessed with the last stanza (I will become anything / So you need not / See anything you fear / Ever again).

(Honorable mention: HEAVEN x DAISHI DANCE, released on my actual birthday!)

Day 19: Mirrorcle World

I was so sure that I would've picked Mad World, but when I read the lyrics from Mirrorcle World, I knew that this was going to be my answer. Just from the beginning to the end - the lyrics fit the world's current crisis. Surely I have enjoyed this song before, but now it is starting to mean something to me, especially in this era.

"Did I imagine a future like this?
Did you imagine a future like this?"

"Will I be able to accept an age like this?
Will you be able to accept an age like this?"

"This isn't the time, to run away and act like a victim"

Hey, neither we nor this world appear to be slowing down"

If we just keep increasing
Speed like this.....

"Is this the beginning?"
"Is this the end?"

"Did I give up?"
"Am I standing firm?"
"Have I become defiant?"
"Did I lose hope?"
"Just move forward"
You said that, right?

The reason I'm not crying is because I've grown stronger
Or.....


I think this is a great example of a song that I suddenly re-discover - thanks to this challenge. Yesterday, I wouldn't have thought of Mirrorcle World. That's way different now.

Toniayu123 20th April 2020 10:52 AM

Happy bday @ayumi_romania!

Day 19: progress. It has always been that song that has many meanings for me. And now more than ever, the lyrics make me think of life itself.

~angel*ayumi~ 20th April 2020 12:01 PM

Spoiler:
Day 1 - RAINBOW - because it´s just awesome, but monochrome is very near behind^^

Day 2 - HANABI ~episode II~ - This is a tough one because she has many good songs with numbers, but I just love both HANABI songs <3

Day 3 - fairyland - also a though one, because she has so many great summer songs, but I just love fairyland <3

Day 4 - how beautiful you are - That is hard because I have no song that reminds me of someone I want to forget so I choose hbya because much of us were maybe bullied in school, because we weren´t beautiful, cool, or just wasn´t what ppl whould call normal standard.

Day 5 - Bold & Delicious - You can´t play this song quietly xD

Day 6 - Humming 7/4 - Also a very hard one because she has so many songs I want to dance xD

Day 7 - Sunrise ~LOVE is all~ - I often hear it in the bus

Day 8 - Party Queen - As Teppei said, i also can´t think of any other song that is about drugs/alcohol, unless you call love a drug, then she has plenty xD

Day 9 - + - sooo hard, there are so many songs that make me happy.

Day 10 - teddy bear - She has a bunch of sad songs but this is the first that comes to my mind, even before memorial address

Day 11 - A Song for XX - I also go with ASfXX as it´s my absolute fave Ayu song, I will never get tierd of it xD Best is A Ballads Version.

Day 12 - immature - Not so much choice but still hard xD I am fan since Duty^^

Day 13 - A Song for XX - Easy as this my all time fave song from her^^

Day 14 - Dearest - I actually had this song played at my wedding in the church as an orgel version ^^

Day 15 - Happening Here - It was the first song I heard live in Person at AT12, it´s such a great good-mood-song ^^

Day 16 - SURREAL - was a hard decision between SURREAL and evolution xD

Day 17 - ANother song - war hard desicion between this and Love ~since1999~ xD

Day 18 - A Song for ×× "030213 Session #II" - There is not much that was released in march xD



Day 19 - End of the world + forgiveness - This is a very very hard one because Ayu has so many songs that make you think about life, and that´s what I love, she has so many deep songs not just only songs about being happy, about love and the typical "heartbroken" songs.

Day 18: A song from the month you were born
Endless Sorrow. Ugh, the single version is so much better than the version on I Am.... It's truly the only blemish on an otherwise perfect album.

Day 19: A song that makes you think about life
I'm going to say Life, because, duh! I would also put appears in there.

Day 19: A song that makes you think about life

Teppei-chan 20th April 2020 08:22 PM

Spoiler:
Day 01: A song you like with a colour in the title
RAINBOW
RAINBOW is such a soft and calm Song ans I love that about

Day 02: A song you like with a number in the title
1 Love
I choose this one because I really got into Ayu a few month before this song and Secret got release. Still Love it but I choose it more for the nostalgia behind it

Day 03: A song that reminds you of summertime
NEXT LEVEL
This is a song I often listen to when the sun is out. I don't know but it always gives me a good vibe and makes me wanna go outside and relax in the sun

Day 04: A song that reminds you of someone you’d rather forget
crossroad
Well... I cried my heart out over a boy listening to this song. This guy had the guts to ignore me after a while and years later mde me hope tht this time it would work out.... only to get told via text message that he still h something for his stupid girl.
It sucks because crossroad is one of my most favourite Ayu songs but sometimes it reminds me of this guy. If only crossroad game out a little bit later

Day 05: A song that needs to be played loud
Terminal
I think this one needs no further explanation and speaks for itself

Day 06: A song that makes you want to dance[
Trauma
This on is hard. I'm Not someone who dances alot but If I feel Like Dancing I choose whatever I Like at that moment. But I'm going to choose Trauma as I Always feel the urge to do the little dance moves when I listen to it

Day 07: A song for riding the train
Born to Be
Since I have my own car I don't Ride the train as much as I used to but I Always found myself enjoying listening to Born to Be alot. It's easy to forget your sorrows and just enjoy the ride with this song

Day 08: A song about drugs or alcohol
Party Queen
The First one that came to mind. And isn't this the only one she has that are about alcohol/drugs?

Day 09: A song that makes you happy
Greatful days
It's such a cheerful feel-good song for me that makes it easy to enjoy the moment and only think about Happy things. The eurobeat remix of glitter from ayu-ro mix 4 ís a close second

Day 10: A song that makes you sad
reminds me
The lyrics for this song are so great and everytime I read them I get a little sad because they well, reminds me, of sad times from the past

Day 11: A song you never get tired of
A Song for XX
One of my all time favourite and one of the only songs that I listen to everytime it comes up[

Day 12: A song from your pre Ayu fan days
Ladies Night
The first time I heard about Ayumi was reading an articel from a german Manga magazine, it was around 2002/03 and I decided that "now I'm a fan of her". I only knew 1 one Song ( connected) at that time and nowadays woudn't call it being a fan. I got to know more of Ayu and her music in 2006 around th Release of Blue Bird. So that gives me a lot of stuff to choose from, which is hard XD Ladies Night was one of the first Songs that came to my mind

Day 13: A song you like from the 90s
kanariya "Jonathan Peters' Vocal Club Mix"
Ever since I first watched the the PV I'm in Love with this Version of kanariya, it's Not the full remix that Í like because it's waaaay to long imo but the part that ís also being used in the PV is perfection. As for the original Hidden track version one LOVEppears: I also love this one and that it gives the song a complete other and unique feeling.[/QUOTE]

Day 14: A song you’d love to be played at your wedding
Voyage
If I'm every going to marry someone I guess Voyage would be a song that I'd make sure is being played. Maybe even during the ceremony, maybe when I walking down the aisle XD. Always thought that Voyage would be a fitting Song for a wedding.

Day 15: A song you like that’s a cover
One Night Carnival
Sadly this song were only performed live once at the Arena Tour 2012 but it was so much fun watching this performance. After that I added the original from Kishidan to my mp3 Player . Would be awesome to have a full version with only Ayu singing this song.
If I had to name a song that can be found in a single/ Album I'd say Many Classic Moments. Like the sound of that one

Day 16: A song that’s a classic favourite
SURREAL
Also have to go with this one. The lyrics have a great Message and I find the song itself very powerful, especially with that guitar solo. This gives me life everytime

Day 17: A song I would like to sing a duet with on karaoke?
NaNaNa
I also going with this song. As xLuna&1LOVE Said I can imagen this Song to be Lots of fun at Karaoke. Just dancing around like crazy while the other sings and having the time of your life.

Day 18: A song from the month you were born
Rule
I don't have much choice, it was either going to be Rule or Sparkle as this single were released in my 18th Birthday. Thank you Ayumi for auch a great single as a Birthday Gift :D so I picked Rule because it's a great Rock Song and I also live the PV. Got that Hair Cut she has in the pv a little Bit after it's release



Day 19: A song that makes you think about life
everywhere nowhere
The opening alone speaks so many truth and makes me think about life and choices that I made through my life

Crossroad helped me last year during a hard time were I Had to make a decisions: Will I Go Back to Germany or do I want to spent more time in Iceland? It was such a hard Thing to decide because there was No right or wrong and Í kinda wanted both. crossroad was a song that helped me sort out thing while I took a long Walk. This and also everywhere nowhere

Day 20: Together When...
This song was released on the day my grandfather died. It was the first time I had to deal with death and I was not doing well, this was also because of depression and anxiety. I remember tearing up, everytime when I saw the broken-doll scene from the PV. Together When... reminds me of sadness, but it also helped me to get through this dark time. It came at the right moment when I needed it, and as 14-year-old teen I felt somewhat understood.

I always play Together When... on its release date - it's like a ritual now. I don't do it for grandpa, - allthough I think of him when this
song is on - but I think it is important to embrace whatever helped me to move forward in a very difficult time.

Out of Control

//ABEST 21st April 2020 05:33 PM

Spoiler:
01 - GREEN
It was the first new release I was aware of after I found ayu in 2008. It has a special place in my heart as well as Days because duh, GREEN/Days / Days/GREEN

02 - Song 4 U
It was one of the prime eras I had with ayu when this came out. Song 4 U is my motivation song with
"What was it? Who was it?
That made you decide that somehow
you could try to move forward once more"

03 - You & Me
ayu has so many summer bops but for some reason it's You & Me even tho it's not my favorite summer song

04 - NOW & 4EVA
well shortly my ex who basically ruined my life at that time

05 - Terminal
does it really need explaining? Armin did a good job with this one, still get the chills when the best drops

06 - Lelio
it's really hard to listen to this song and not dance that choreography

07 - monochrome
i dont know why but this was the first song that came to my mind. it's so melancholic like a dream so it would fit traveling perfectly! just sitting there and watch outside of the window while everything passes by

08 - Party queen
because this might be the only one? which is funny how in kpop there are many songs which have lyrics about alcohol and drugs yet ayu doesn't have any.. is it cultural or is ayu just pure and sweet?

09 - EnergizE
how can I be sad or moody while listening to this? oh hell no!!

10 - Secret
it's just an vulnerable song full of emotion

11 - Mirrorcle World
my ultimate number 1 song from ayu since 2008 and will always be! I found ayu in 2008 and actually i can still remember visiting her official avex website somewhere near april/may 2008 when there was Mirrorcle World theme. this song reminds me of my 14 yo self yet it still fits in my life now even after 12 years later. I actually played this song like 24/7 in january/february 2020 after watching Promised Land because it took me to the memory lane

12 - Real me
I became a fan of her around may/june 2008 and Real me was my first ayu song ever iirc in march 2008. it was through last.fm when you could still listen songs via that scrobbled they had (idk if it's still the same?). i wasn't that big fan of Real me until I saw that legendary PREMIUM COUNTDOWN LIVE performance and fell in love with it right away! I learned that choreography completely with every moves ayu made while performing because it was just soo cool back then! I'm pretty confident I could still remember it mostly if I tried

13 - Trust
I don't even know why I love this song so much. A Song for ×× as an album have so many underrated gems

14 - CAROLS
it would be really beautiful to have a first dance as a couple while piano or violin version of CAROLS would be played. it has kinda sad melody but if I ever chose to have ayu's song played at my wedding, it would be something thats really personal to me and my husband. although I'd prefer music only without singing

15 - Many Classic Moments
I love ayu's version of this song so much! ayu's all cover songs are good but this is the best one.

16 - Love song
I personally would say Love song is one of her recent and one of the last classics she actually has. I love the piano in this song and lyrics are really beautiful

17 - What is forever love
This is such an underrated gem imo. I have always liked it ever since it came out.

18 - Connected
Well January is easy since there is so many albums released but I will go with this one. Fell for it in 2009 and still love this song


19 - how beautiful you are
haha cheesy but sometimes we all should think about our lives with the thought that we are all enough and beautiful. social media tends to make me feel insecure about myself almost everyday and makes me often think about how everyone else has everything better than me. after all we are all the same and we all deserve to be loved the way we are. i'll have to admit that i might not be the biggest fan of the song but everytime i think about it, it makes me appreciete my life

20 - Merry-go-round
this was the hardest one for my to choose because almost every song has only one strong feeling in to it in my mind. Merry-go-round was released when I was in a relationship that was like one in the lyrics, everytime I said goodbye when we parted, I never was sure was that the last time I would see him. We broke up on new years eve which kinda was in the lyrics as well. After some time passed, it became my "it's time to let go" song and even later "i'm gonna find someone else someday in the future" song. So this song for me is the one with messy relationship, break up, healing and moving on. Everytime I listen to it, I think about him tho but in a bittersweet way
