Because it's being released again as LOVE again :innocent

lol jks

Love Songs ~again~ would have been amazing.

I just want love song, do it again, november, and like a doll...

What happend after Love songs... It's like the plane crash in do it again was a metaphor for her love life and career.

She is well beyond a trainwreck at this point D:

Like I said: ayuma hotmessaki, predicting her future since 1998.

First she predicted it with A Song For XX
The latest prediction was in 2010 with do it again (or donut again, as my phone corrected it to originally...)

Wasn't her song vogue about somebody going out of style or something? Ayu predicts the future quite well.

She's actually a medium.

well, it's not really predicting when its a fact.

^ fact that she's forever alone?

I miss Truly Outrageous Ayu; the pink hair was a nice change.

Has Ayu ever done long, jet black hair for a cover? (I consider (m)u to be dark brown)

I can't recall it...

nono, that she would decline in sales, lol...
I hope she wont be alone forever... but i think she will...
manly because she puts career first.

She'll have boyfriends, sure... but never settle down with anyone.

ayu-mi-x 4♥. Her Duty cover haircolor is nearly black too, and long. Her dark coffee brown long hair on INSPIRE and Startin/BtB covers is close, she looks so damn good in both~ :blove Though I love her as a fellow blonde she can go back to this super-straight, long, dark brown/black look anyday lol.

oh right, there's appears single cover too.

ETA: she rocked the pink hair too.

we've been talking about secret so much the past couple of days I just hat to listen to it.. lol
Startin'!

^So now you like it? :D the first 30 seconds are among the best first 30 seconds out of all her songs haha.

it still gets on my nerves, but I do like listening to it every once and awhile.

after listening to the album (again) I feel that there is more on this album then i give it credit for... 1love, blue bird, born to be, JEWEL, mommentum, labyrinth, until that day, secret... all of these songs are amazing.

I always forget how good the My Story - Secret era's are.. lol
when they first came out all I really cared for were the singles, but now... they are pretty good as a whole.

Thank you! :D I totally forgot about Ayu-mi-x 4! I was thinking it was a bit bizarre she hadn't done this style yet. xD

I think we'll get a change soon. :O

Feels like I missed so much in here
I love Ivy now

I have always LOVE ivy!! at first the only song that I fell in love with on again was Wake me up, but after about 100 listens, the entire mini/single is amazing.

IM SOOOO HAPPY!
I finally figured out how to put my ayumi concerts on my ipad!!
I now have some killer material to watch/listen too while jogging!

Tbh I've drifted away from wake me up and sweet scar
I killed them when I first listened to them..
Now it's ivy and snowy kiss
You & me somehow survived.

drift back! lol

I found some pretty good 'remix' of some of ayumi's newest songs. something about princesam or someone... its nice, but mostly it seems like all he did was string a bunch of songs together.

^ PrinceSam is a Taiwanese fan I believe~

the remix is rather good, so im happy.

Hey guys, does anyone know why the owner of http://eneabba.net/ayu/ decided to stop updating the blog? It is such an amazing site :/

^ I think this has been discussed before somewhere on AHS.

He stopped posting after Rock 'n' Roll Circus was released.
I think the Lady Dynamite PV went against some of his personal views, and it made him lose interest in Ayu.

http://eneabba.net/ayu/video/videocl...y_Dynamite.htm
Read the top description.

EDIT: This is the thread on AHS that discussed it: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112246

^ oh is that the guy people were talking about, lol...
some people...
Although that PV is pretty bad...

^ I remember when I first watched it I was pretty shocked! It's pretty raunchy (for Ayu that is)!!!
It was never against my personal views though, I always just received it as a fun/party Ayu PV.

Watching it three years later though, I'm surprised that I even battered an eyelid at it. There are a lot 'worse' (in terms of sexualization) PVs out there! (anything by Lady Gaga or for example).

i dont find anything wrong with it, but I just find it stupid.. lol
but I dont really care for her PV's that much...
I do like that she seems to be having fun, lol... and some of it is funny, but in that dumb and dumber way, lol.

But after reading through that link you gave and those people stopping their websites because it clashes with their religious beliefs (well, one belief the other cant support a life style :rolleyes) is a bit insincere. but we really cant get into that.

^ Yeah, I thought it'd be better to just send the link to a thread that has already discussed such a sensitive issue than bringing it up again.

And I totally agree; it just seemed like she was having fun in the PV, not trying to enforce a lifestyle on anyone. :yes But, I guess people see different contexts in everything. :shrug

It's really sad in terms of information, I really like that site for it's information of the live performances!!!

There might be a thread around here that already does that though. Maybe. I can't recall one, but there probably is. xD

well his website is down!
Steal that info! lol

^ It just makes me think: There are so many performances I have not been able to see! Not in terms of in person, but actually watching online!

A lot of the older Ayu sites have gone down though. Which is a shame, because they had so much information from those earlier eras that just weren't carried on through to now.

I still can't find the Vogue Nippon 2001 photoshoot decently scanned. And that's a high profile photoshoot. Imagine all the off-side photos that have been lost?

But people have lives, it'd be very difficult to maintain a website for fifteen years. xD

Wow thank you I didn't know this site ^^

Look at this picture ! She has not very changed =)

http://eneabba.net/ayu/video/other/0...omo-199512.jpg

Wow thank you!!. Well he has the right to do with his website whatever he wants. Good for him he stood up for what he beleived in not caring what any body said. I also find lady dynamite offensive and I hate when people sing at the cross like if they were Jesus. But this is my opinion.:D

well i highly doubt she thought she was jesus... she was using the imagery because its powerful.
(unlike the Beatles did :innocent)

omg I remember that drama! Good times!

So many meltdowns i missed
Ironna meltdown ga missed-shita
Channeling my Ivy.

Too bad that guy didn't talk about love songs

well, at this point his site is kinda usless (for the new stuff).
she's not doing as much as she used too.

But lately is a different story.
Although I feel as if these releases will be the last in a while.

For ***** and giggles, lets use ayu's name in a japanese sentence
歩みの早い人
Ayumi no hayai hito

One who walks fast

The te form of her name is Ayunda. I Like Ayunda more

^ i dont know enough japanese...

as for her releases... I think this year will be heavy, next might be light.

It's hard to predict what kind of concept she'll do this year/next year.

I mean, I couldn't in my wildest dreams have imagined Party Queen after FIVE.

I also think we will be bombarded with release this year.

So much ayu
My app says that I listened to her 17,000 times since January 1, 2012

thanks ;)

app for what?
I would like to lsiten to her more, but I bounce between two computers... lol so i dont know the total number.

An iPhone app called Musicrazor

oh coolness... so it shows what you listened too...
by artist... ayumi 17k...
thats... a lot... lol

^ did you use it?
How many times have you listened to her?

never heard of it... i should try it out though!

^ do it and say what you get! I wanna know :P

I loved Lady Dynamite!

Actually, I watched a documentary on Youtube and some of the people who appeared in that pv are in it!




I bet most of these Drag Queens appeared in the pv, but you'll see one guy who has the same costume as in the pv! :yes

---


It's kinda hard not to listen to ayu :thud Listening to Madonna just to get over it

i looked for it... cant seem to find it...
is it for ipod only? because i have ipad.

^ I think it is only for the iPad

strange.... i cant seem to find it... ill look again.

gonna watch CDL soon! so happy.

Oh snap I meant iPhone/iPod
So sorry!
I'm so out of it these days.

ah man... lol.
When im in japan and getting my i5 ill look into it!

You & Me is now in my top 5 most played ayu songs...

You & Me is such a guilty pleasure. It's kind of a bad song, but it's just so sweet! It successfully captures the nostalgic-about-a-previous-relationship feeling.

It's such a good crappy song.
So good
So crappy

I finally got my LOVE albums in today!!! YAY!!!

Ooh finally!
That took centuries lol
Is it in good condition? No cd case scratches?

everything is PERFECT.
Im do happy! ^_^

my Initiate is Part Of Me...
i love this song.
:)

Greatful days...
I wanna be fairyland!

it comes and goes so quickly! lol...

you know.
watching One Piece... too bad ayumi never did an ending or opening for this anime...
(im currently in love with it, lol)

still continue watching Inuyasha hope I can finish it soon xD but still 5 movies to go after that

how I wish they would make a new movie for it and Ayu writes the theme for it, gonna be cool *_*

that would be cool...

LOL.. ayumi needs to write the theme song to the AKB48 anime... hehe.

Eyelashes on Ebay using Ayu as model http://www.ebay.com/itm/271129449379 :roflmao

Damn it, saw on Tumblr someone called Ayu as "failyu/failyumi hamasucky" im totally offended by that, if you dont like her ok then but respect her and her fans ppppfffttt

Who's making fun of our hot mess now?

its the internet... people do what they do.

And make fun of poor Ayuma
But someone said that, because namie is now the jpop queen in Japan, it's like Janet Jackson being the queen of pop in America.
I was like 'oh god, ayu has to go back to the top now!'

Couldn't handle not listening to ayu for too long lol

I'm listening to the remix albums that I got while I was in Japan!! Listening ayu-ro mix for the first time :thud I love it!! :D

i wonder if I will be able to find a bookoff while in tokyo in a few months...
I only have like 3 days before I get shipped off to who knows where!!
I want to try and buy as many ayumi albums that I dont have!

There are book offs everywhere!

In Tokyo I went to the one in Shibuya the most, but I also went to the one in Ikebukuro. But they are literally everywhere, it would be impossible not to find one! lol And you can google where they are around Tokyo, or even ask people while you're there. :yes


Although when you buy something make sure to check inside to see if the right CD is there because I just checked and the ayu-trance 3 that I got has the CD for RAINBOW :thud :laugh I made the mistake of not checking because I was in a hurry and I kinda trust them because they have such good costumer service... but yeah! lol

oh, thanks for the advice!

People have been calling her "Hamasl*tty" for a while now.

Well, if that's the best they can do, at least they tried lol

lol, kinda clever... if you're 4.

She has completely changed herself since her peak... ahhh... the golden age was amazing.
:sigh:

Poor Ayu, that is so mean! xD

Hopefully she announces the fifth release tomorrow. :D
I have no idea what it may possibly be. It could be anything.

LOL what a sad nickname
Hotmessaki has a better ring to it imo

I have Ayu-itus.
The disease where you can't stop listening to album previews, even though you know they are meddlesome as they make you pine for music you can't have for another 17 odd days.

Party Queen previews were only released 12 days prior to the official release date, and that nearly killed me. Think I might have to go cold turkey on Ayu at the moment.

the previews are nice!
Cant wait for this album!
Sakura is going to be a must... glasses.... is interesting... lol
tasknbass was really cool too.

I showed my friend Ivy and within seconds she was disappointed that again sold badly.

OF course!! it needed much more...
I hope LOVE again sells double! lol

I completely forgot that glasses was an interlude... lol... it kinda makes me wish it was a full song.

I WANT A DAMN POP ALBUM!!!
YOU'RE POP, DO POP SONGS!!! THAT MEANS NOT A BILLION BALLADS OR ROCK TINGED STUFF!

love again is popie. It is ballad heavy, but I want to hear the rest of the songs before I say anything.

^ I know, but I'd want a straight up dancey album. Maybe 2 ballads or so.

The only pop album that was balanced on ballads and upbeat songs is LOVEppears IMO.

i am is pretty balanced as well...
she's not very good at that she is? lol

Too bad loveppears is so dated...

it would be pretty cool if she updated her first five(?) albums.
Song for XX-Rainbow.

I am... is balanced up to M for me, then the rest of the album is a huge boring ballad. And no xD

LOVEppears is pretty dated... its weird though, the A BEST mix of Boys & Girls sounds alot more modern to me than the original.

And I'd DIE if even A Song for XX was rearranged/re-recorded. Especially Hana, ASFXX and Powder Snow <3

I agree about the ending of I am
The songs at the end hold up by themselves
But as a complete whole, no

I didnt mean by order, LOL...
there are 16 tracks... 8 are none ballad (for me)... its pretty even in ballad and none ballad.. lol

this is such an ayu song..would fit in perfect on loveppears tbh

^ wow, the chorus really does sound like an ayu song to me o_o

Just how many times did she change her hair color? it looked she changed it everyday!

i love the way she changes her hair!!!

But not the short hair..

sometimes I love her short hair like in the Guilty era, and her short hair during FIVE era is ok, loved the boyish and casual look but sometimes its just didnt suit her much like certain parts in PoM concert >.>

I still cant get it why she changed her hair color so frequent, like from yellow-ish and then, browni-ish and then blond again
