I was in my final year of high school and starting my first year of university during RnRC / LS era. I also feel old

I was also nearly at the end of my high schooling in 2010. It's amazing to think it has been a decade. :S

On another note, the glitter/fated covers are so pretty. I'm not sure why I didn't appreciate them at the time, but they're so glitzy and vibrant.

If it weren't for YOU this would be great.

I love that Armin seems to like Ayu so much! His and Above & Beyond's remixes of her songs are some of my favorites. God, that remix of M is still so f'n stellar and takes me right back...

Okay, cool, 15 years since I was half-way through college?! *sobs*

We need Ayu Trance 5 that will include Armin van Buuren remixes.

^ Yes! I mean Ayu with trance sound are everything

Armins sound is terrible these days. We need Giuseppe Ottaviani, Arctic Moon, Allen Watts, Craig Connelly, Sean Tyas, Standerwick, Simon O’Shine, Solarstone, Factor B, Cold Blue.

You‘re right! Even if I love Terminal...
I don’t get the extremely love for his appears remix.
This mix and Ferry Corsten‘s kanariya Remix are the most boring ones on ayu trance for me.
I prefer Kyau & Albert‘s appears Remix a hundred times over Armins.

YEESSSSSS!!! :luv2:luv2:luv2 That mix is sublime!

Remo-con also did great job on Wake me up

Every track on ayutrance 3 was a winner for me
Real Me being one of her best.

honest to gods, trance is my very first introduction to ayu—the Above and Beyond Remix of M. life was never the same ever since :laugh

^
^ The Real me Remix is everything! It’s among my favorite remixes of her. I enjoy that Mix much more than the original version. :D
And as you said, ayu trance 3 is amazing. The only mix I dislike on it is NEVER EVER.

^ M (Above & Beyond Remix) is a Legend! It’s nearly 20 years old and never lost it’s magic.

perhaps the only thing I dislike about ayu-trance 3 and the rest of the remix albums in the same batch is the fact that they're all in the non-stop mega mix style. the remixes are generally enjoyable, but I would have preferred the songs with actual starts and ends.

thanks to this, I ended up checking the Kyau & Albert's remix and you're right! I love this!

ayu trance and ayu trance 3 are including just standalone tracks.
The same for the first three ayu-ro mix albums.
But for ayu-mi-x III, ayu-mi-x IV and ayu-mi-x 5 and ayu-mi-x 7 you’re right.
The last one have standalone club mixes as a download album.

Do any of you ever think Ayu's style shares similarities with Jlo, namely in the earlier 00's?

^ I remember how I found Jlo looking like ayu in 'All I have' PV.

I thought so too!!!!

Definitely :)

Jlo in early 2000s, and Paris Hilton in mid 2000s. With hints of Britney here and there lol.

Have you tried uploading on nico douga? I know it’s a niche site for vocaloid mostly but occasionally I see some obscure globe videos that aren’t available on youtube. Or try dailymotion, or bilibili. Man I wish ayu contents were’t so heavily copyrighted. She shines the brightest in her epic concerts, if only people could be exposed to those. I was re-watching her performance of Memorial address during ABL, and I have to say anyone who watches it can tell she’s a great performer, fan or not.
