Over/Underrated
 

Which song do you think is underrated? And conversely, which do you think is overrated? YOU MAY ONLY PICK ONE SONG FOR EACH.

Personally, I think M is overrated and July 1st is underrated.

Overrated: M 'Above & Beyond Remix' (I don't know if remixes are allowed, but it's treated like an actual song sometimes rather than a remix)

Underrated: INSPIRE

underrated: monochrome (many people seem to forget that nice song..)
overrated: HANABI (HANABI ~episode II~ is MUCH better and way sadder)

overrated : carols
underrated : never ever

Overrated: Seasons (don't shoot me^_^)
Underrated: Liar

Underrated: End of the world (amazing song, yet very underrated)
Overrated: Trauma

under-rated: heartplace!!! OMG that's one of her best songs musically and vocally...yet only sparse performances. :/

over-rated: Dearest (I love it...but jeez...)

Overated: Boys and Girls
Underrated: Duty :)

Yay yeh

Overrated: SEASONS
Underrated: HOPE or PAIN

Basically most of my favorite songs are underrated

Way overrated: M
Underrated: Greatful Days

Over rated: Definetly M

Under Rated: HANABI ~episode II~

Over: M
Under: Immature (I love this song! :D )

overrated: evolution

Underrated: Far away :yes

Overrated - M (though I do love it ^^;; )
Underrated - HONEY

Over- M
Under- Key -Eternal Tie Ver.-

overrated- dearest, no way to say,

underrated - End of The World <--relli kool song!, Humming 7/4, Daybreak

Does no one know how to read?

Qt Mashi and Akurei, I can't believe you two. Well actually, I can. Nonetheless, how could you not follow directions when they were in bold, red caps? I mean c'mon.

Overrated: Dearest
Underrated:INSPIRE

owell, it's hard to not break any rules :P

Overrated: Dearest (Am I the only person who finds this song really, truly boring? Errgh.)
Underrated: Key -eternal tie ver.- (One of my favorite songs. Amazing lyrics. So pretty. ;_; )

I completely agree!

overrated: Dearest
underated: SCAR

overrated: SEASONS
underrated: HONEY

M, really a nice song for newbie Ayu-lover, at least this is the first song attracted me :) So I think it worth overrating

Overrated: evolution, Boys & Girls, Trauma, walking proud, CAROLS, About You, and flower garden
Underrated: definitely For My Dear... at the first place :( gave almost ignored
TO BE, monochrome, too late, End roll, vogue, ever free, Far away, Key, P.S II, NEVER EVER, HOPE or PAIN, Replace and many many nice songs are often underrated

Overrated: Trauma. well, that's for the Japanese... they love this song to death, yet there are other cutesy fast songs better than this which can have hand gestures to perform with. Fly High and Audience for instance.
If I have to pick an overrated song among the forum people, (Trauma isn't as popular here as in Japan :p) I would have to go with M. It's a nice song, but it's just too overrated. It ain't the best ayu song I know

Underrated: I'm having a hard time deciding between Naturally and monochrome, but in the end, I chose

Scar

Hahaha It's not even in my original choices :p I was looking at my ayu mp3s finding any song which I may be forgetting, and I came across this song. I always loved this song and it's never mentioned much at all. So sad that it's sooo underrated. So much so that it's rarely mentioned at this forum :(

WAY friggin overrated: Greatful days (>,<)
WAY friggin underrated: Heartplace

can't believe the total disregard for the one song only portion of the first post.. come on seriously guys.

Overrated: INSPIRE
underrated: About You (one of my favorites)

I was debating between INSPIRE and Dearest for Overrated.... I like about you a lot too.

over: SEASONS
under: Far away (AMAZING song)

Overrated: Evolution
Underrated: Scar

Overrated:Ourselves
Underrated:Who...

Damn, Who... is one of her best ballad songs and it´s kind of underrated =(

Over: Trauma
Under: RAINBOW

overrated: dearest
underrated: monochrome (and maybe ever free)

Weren't we supposed to pick only one?

And 'SURREAL'? Underrated? LOL.

overrated:HANABI
underrated:monochrome
agree with Annabelle ^^

overated: Dearest ...
underated : key -eternal tie version- (its a very very very very sad song for me ... )

me 2 love this song very much :yes

yeah~when ayu sings Key it feels so sad...though the lyrics are not so...but when she sings at "anata ga..." my heart is going to sink...

overrated = M
underrated = theme of a-nation '03

haha yeah..so underrated that she sings it at the end of almost every concert :P


jkjk

Overrated - Trauma
Underrated - Duty

haha i'm not making fun of it, it's one of my favorites by her.

Overrated: M
Underrated: Heartplace

(also debating with... Overrated: INSPIRE Underrated: End of the World but I chose the first)

^^ Who...=ownage XD

Overrated - Heartplace
Underrated - INSPIRE

hahahah =o I was so going to list like every hamasaki song, and place them in a category...but I'm not mean like that...or am I?

Over rated: Hanabi
Under rated: P.S. II

overrated: hanabi
underrated: endless sorrow

overrated = "Fly high"
Underrated = "still alone"

overrated: MOMENTS, INSPIRE
underrated: HANABI ep 2, Heartplace

yea i know were only supposed to write one, but who cares.. its not like its some sorta game .lol

Heartplace? Overrated?

Im with you on that. I love the theme of a-nation '03

[EDIT]

Ya, it seems more like its underatted

underrated END ROLL and SCAR

Overrated: Dearest (Great song, but 32 performances and 2 PVs?!?!)
Underrated: Memorial Address (This song NEEDS a PV!)

lolo, I expected more from you.

well, I just can't figure out an overrated one. let me ponder more on that one...............


No way to say, moments and such maybe? I love them and all, but... well just leave it at that, ok

yeah !!! and i would add "key" to the underrated list too.

Overrated: On this forum, M. In general I'd go with Dearest. It's a good song, but I guess it got too much exposure from the anime?

Underrated: All the songs people don't talk about.

It's not that. It's the fact that I specifically said to only choose one song. And there's so much emphasis on it too. *le sigh*

Even though a lot of Ayu songs are overrated...I still love all of them. I never get tired listening to any one of them (over and over again!) :yes :yes :yes

Overrated: M

Underrated: I am...

Overrated:Evoltuion,ourselves,step you,about you,is this love and every other song that has "wow wow wow" "la la la la la" in the chorus.

Underrated: Memorial Address,Audience,Far Away

*cough cough*

overrated:My name's woman

underrated:teddybear, her vocal's are so great!! :yes

overrated: step you
underrated: memorial address

Overrated: M

Underrated: INSPIRE by A LOT.

Overrated: M
Underrated: Forgiveness

Overrated: Because of You
Underrated: monochrome

Overrated: M
Underrated: Memorial Address

Over: M (I can't believe how exceptionally well it does in polls from this forum!)

Under: TO BE
(It's a toss up between End Roll, ever free, SCAR, Key and TO BE for me...I think TO BE was the least mentioned so far so I'm gonna say that :) )

overated: independent (i tihnk im the first)
underated: hanabi epII

overrated: evolution (I LOVE it, but it's not the be all end all)

underrated: Who... (ever since she sung this as a finale it made me cry... so I LOVE this sung, it's got such meaning)

lol, you guys are driving pickles up the wall. :laugh

It's not like that ever happens on this forum. :yrolleyes

Overrated: Angel's Song
Underrated: Memorial Address

Overrated: Evolution

Underrated: Since many people already stated HANABI ~Episode II~ (Which does deserve more appreciation) I say Humming 7/4. Sure, the lyrics are not that great and the main chorus does not fit with the rest of the song (I love the verses personally, but the "everybody GO everybody JUMP!" ruins the rockish feel and replaces it with an overdone popish one. :()

But still.

it's a good song.

so my vote for underrated to humming 7/4.

EDIT: I just listened to "And Then" for the first time today.

WHY IS THIS SONG UNDERRATED

Overrated: July 1st (lol... a lot of people here seem to like this song, but I really don't :P)
Underrated: And Then (*sigh*... I love this song)

Overrated:definately M
underrated: and then(lol...I love this song too)

Overrated: Dearest (::stab stab stab:: )
Underrated: Too Late (I love the music and the lyrics are really cool!)

@Syphex: Why is it underrated as in... "this song is so crappy it's actually overrated" or "this song definitely deserves more appreciation"? :confused

I was wondering the same thing as Peachilicious.

I wanna add more:
over:my name's WOMAN ( I dont like it very much. :()
under:Wishing

overrated: boys and girls
i know, its one of her greatest hits. but i don't understand why must ayu perform this song in every concert. i love it a lot, but im sick of it now. :x don't whack me.

underrated: TWO OF US AND WISHING!
i know, choose one only. sorry.. hehe. but these two songs are so sad. but if i have to choose one, it has to be wishing. very good lyrics, very beautifully done and sad.

Over: I am...
Under: Over

The second one ='(

It's not as bad as trauma. I think Ayu is a little obsessed with that song at concerts (Or her producers, whoever plans her live tracklists)

'And then' is amazing. But very underrated...

overrated: Trauma (i love it, but why is it in practically EVERY concert o_o)
underrated: SIGNAL (i always find myself dancing to this song :D )

I think that To Be, Real Me, We Wish, and Monochrome are pretty underrated..(sorry, i listed more than one!)
As for overrated, i would say Evolution...sure, its fast and catchy, but it can also give u a headache after a while.

overrated: To Be (don't get me wrong, it's a nice song, it's just a little boring for me).

Underrated: Dolls

overrated : Bold&Delicious
underrated : Two of us *hi-5 w/ ayufan89* (I would say LIMIT, but it's an old song that nobody rarely care about :lol:)
