Secret is one of those songs that you gotta revisit every once in a while~ can't play it too much imo.

I don't like the Secret album as a whole minus Not yet, JEWEL, and momentum.

I want Happy Ending performed again~

I can't believe there are people who don't like BALLAD at all... o_o Shame on u! :D Just jokin'. I just get this feeling that I'm the only one who actually loves RnRC era as a whole. It's just awesome.

I also get a feeling that I appreciate mostly those songs that so many of you here hates. It really annoys me sometimes lol. :'3

I used to feel the same way before but in recent years I've really started to appreciate the album more as it does have many songs I can relate to. :)

I love beautiful day. lol.
Whenever I'm in the car with friends and this song comes up I always make people stop talking so I can shout out. It's a Beautiful Day.
lol

beloved is fine, it's just that in Ayu discography, full with masterpiece ballads, it doesn't shine at all. It's too... easy. She didn't even try. It doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, but it's your typical ballad, and it's kinda saved by Ayu powerful and emotional voice. And the beautiful PV.

finally someone who liked it! :hi5 yeah i like those too! :)

you guys made me listen to BALLAD again haha, yes yes everything about it so beautiful! I looove her Ima dake wa nee yurushite~~ send shivers down the spine :luv2

also loved everything about the single, when it came out, the CM, the PV,and everyone been interpreting the PVs lol,Ayu looked so beautiful inthe pink dress,aahhh the good old days when Ayu releasing a single and it is so much fun waiting for the leak :D i still want her to perform with the dress, she needs to perform BALLAD again

CAROLS, this is one of her best moving ballad! remember the short vid intro at AT05, Ayu and Naoto made a great couple! I loved how Ayu cried fighting with Naoto, soo real!

watched MSta Super Live where she performed CAROLS and WOWed at fans were crying hardly during the performance :shakehead

I almost forgot about CAROLS but after reading these discussions I fell in love with it again. Listening to it plenty of times ~ Live versions are so good!!

Mmm beloved is one of my fav Ayu ballads ever. It's so sweet and generic. Odd but it works for me

:thud

Talking about ballads... My iTunes says that these are the five most played songs, and - lol - they're all ballads.
I'm a ballad sucker~ :laugh

beloved it's one of those ballads I usually don't listen alone but while listening to a full (mini)album, and I don't really remember how it sounds lol.
Neither meaning of Love :shrug

Instead, I remember Two of us which is a b-side and I don't see mentioned so often here :D. Maybe her voice wasn't the best, but ASFXX ballads are so innocent and sad. They're lovely. One of my favorites Ayu ballads is actually Wishing :heart

And Secret and JEWEL sounds like lullabies, her voice is so calm and sweet. I love them!


I never been a ballad person, but Ayu make me appreciate slow songs much more :yes

Ayu needs to give some of these songs new lives with live performances. A lot of them lack PVs so there's nothing for people to attach themselves to. She has a pretty big list of tracks that either have not been performed live or were added on at the last minute for whatever reason and never got their own performances. (JEWEL and HEAVEN were recently taken off that list)

I'm not going to listen to Carols until I create my Winter Playlist, although the talk on this thread is giving me the urge to listen! Think I will add the live version though (from CDL 04/05 I think) as I love the guitar solo.

Together When... is another ballad I like.

(miss)understood is my favourite album for ballads though Criminal/Pride/Will/Heaven - what a combo of ballads!

And I love Close to Me! I've said it before, but I'd be up for a A Ballads 2 if it's done like the first one.

Me like the performance in RnRC the most :luv2 It looked kind of cheesy and all, but they really created a great live.

I am hoping that she would pull a TM Revolution in some point in her carrier and to bestow us an appropriate self'cover album
A plethora of songs JUST NEEDS TO BE RERECORDED:love

20th anni. 2CD self-cover + tribute album would be amazeballs.

I just rewatched GREEN from Premium CDL 08-09 and still scream so much inside of how beautiful Ayu and Maro looked together...

Sorry if I angered anyone for mentioning this, but Maro was so pretty in that performance. Literally I had so many goosebumps and shivers, it was just beautiful.

Too bad he doesn't dance anymore.

Oh Yes :luv2

Did he quit to eat grass on a plain somewhere, or...?

^ Did you really do that to me omg :roflmao
