I'd probably have to go with songs people are familiar with, or songs that would make it in the american industry. Of course we can all say "let's pick her most coolest, favorite songs by her" but if it is an album full of songs that are just weird, it will not make it in america. wonder girls, seven, utada, boa, koda kumi all flopped in america with their english music.

But...I'd probaby go with

01. Connected
02. Whatever
03. everlasting dream
04. Dearest
05. Seasons
06. JEWEL
07. tasking
08. Microphone
09. Startin'
10. About you
11. criminal
12. GREEN
13. LOVE 'n' HATE
14. STEP you
15. Last Links
16. Curtain call

For english album I think rock!! Don't ask me why XD

1. the Judgement Day
2.Microphone
3.because of you
4.Talkin' 2 Myself
5. Is this LOVE?
6.identity
7. Love 'n' Hate
8. Heartplace.
9.1LOVE
10. Count down
11.last links.
12. powder snow
13. Bold & Delicious
14. Memorail address
15. New song (Maybe call 4 you) + Hide track

simple all songs from Duty and I am... and RAINBOW

I couldn't create a whole tracklist but I think a few would go over best with the English-speaking crowd:

1. Sparkle
2. (don't) Leave me alone
3. Don't look back
4. evolution
5. fairyland
6. GAME
7. HEAVEN
8. Lady Dynamite
9. my name's WOMEN
10. Microphone
11. Ladies Night
12. LOVE 'n' HATE

Oh look. I did make full tracklist!

1 Rule
2 NEXT LEVEL
3 You were..
4 Sexy Little Things
5 Moments
6 Microphone
7 HEAVEN
8 Beautiful Day
9 BALLAD
10 Sparkle
11 kiss o' kill
12 MY ALL
13 (don't) leave me alone
14 Don't Look Back
15 MOON

If it ever did happen though, I'd hope that she would have utada-like english and NOT BoA engrish.

Yea i would like new songs, but then again i'd be scared she'd change her style to try and fit North American music which is like sex...
Example Utada Hikaru she went from singing stuff like beautiful world to
singing songs in english that go... "Your easy breezy and im Japaneasy....."
hope that never happens to Ayu

haha.. plz Ayu no english album but wanna make a tracklist for it :laugh
1. SURREAL
2. Replace
3. HONEY
4. Duty
5. Kanariya
6. Naturally
7. Daybreak
8. Poker face
9. too late
10. TO BE
11. UNITE!
12. Fly high
13. Sparkle
14. evolution
:yes

Agreeing on the "no!" But HELL NO. I don't want Ayu trying to break into the US music industry, ESPECIALLY if it's along the lines of BoA or Utada Hikaru. Their plans seemed to have been to amp up the sex appeal and sap the life and worth from their lyrics/songs. :(

I would hope she would do new material for an English album, if it ever happened.
If she remade songs I don't think it would be as original. Though there are a few staples I would love to hear her sing in English, like Who... and A Song For xx.

This. Just...ugh. >.<

I think if Ayu came here, they'd have to market her as a more Bjork-ish "weird" type artist, cuz that's the only foreign music that does any kind of business in the states. If you're from a non-english-speaking country, you better be stereotypically strange, or else no one knows where to put you. So I think Ayu would do best if the songs were more of her "quirky" and raw rock type of songs like "Sexy little things" and "alterna." She'd never make it as a radio-friendly pop artist here.

Marketing for Utada was a failure cuz "Exodus" shoulda been stuck in with music by, like, The Postal Service and stuff like that. But they put her in World Music and R&B. They really couldn't do the pop marketing with her at the time (although they probably could now, since pop has taken a weird techno turn over the last two years or so).

That said, I'd love to hear Ayu tackle an english album, but one intended for Asia as a whole, not one intended for the west. I'd like to hear it as an experiment, but I don't think it should be promoted here.

I hope she won't go to Western industry :( Utada's English album wasn't my favorite of hers by far; I only liked like, 3 songs :( But if she ever did, I'd want her to make new songs :yes

I honestly don't want an English album from Ayu at all... Her voice isn't suited to sing in English at all, in my opinion. I just wouldn't like it, I don't think.

In Utada's defense, Easy Breezy was a joke. Ever fan knows that. Sure she amped up the sex appeal, but she said she always wanted to do that but couldn't in Japan. Not all her songs are just about sex though. Some of her deepest and best lyrics are in English. Kremlin Dusk, anyone?

Kremlin Dusk was amazing. And I think Devil Inside REALLY was the best "single material" song from the album, they should have really pushed it more and forgotten Easy Breezy completely.

And YMMWTBAM was just.... AMAZING!! The video, the song... the lyrics to that one were pretty good too. I really wish they'd pushed that one more outside of the UK, cuz it was epic. If I'd never heard of Utada before and saw that, I'd have been a fan for life.

I think the quirkyness might have made her interesting to a certain audience.

I do not think that Ayu's music will ever work for american music business. Look at US pop girls. They are all dirty and sexual. And Ayu?? Just cute! Everything but sexual!

So most won't western people probably will not appreciate her kind of image/music as well as I guess, most people wouldn't like her to sing japanese (English + Ayu? NO WAY!!).

Actually this is why I only listen to japanese pop; it's way less sexual than any other country's pop industry <3

I want that. I'd rather keep her doing the music she does and label her as the "odd" singer, than americanize her music and make it sound like something utada did with her second album. change around her music genre to have it really appeal to americans.

I like your traclist and i believe it could be successfull

Totally! Trying to Americanize Ayu, on the surface, would definitely seem to be a good idea, but the american public wants americans to be american and foreigners to be foreign. Ayu would do better over here with songs like "Sexy little things" and "Free & Easy" and probably cutesy stuff like "Beautiful Fighters." Why? Because America associates Japan with two things - overly cute things, and really weird things. Ayu would need to be REALLY Japanese for anyone to care.

Sadly, even if they marketed her as really Japanese, I still don't think she'd get anywhere... The only cases I can think in which foreign artists were marketed the way Americans perceive those people to be is... Sean Paul and William Hung. William Hung was a total joke and wouldn't have ever happened had he never auditioned for American Idol and Sean Paul... well I guess he's the anomaly.

Hope this won't happen :laugh
