Songs you used to HATE...
 

...but now enjoy! And I don't mean songs that were "meh" but grew on you, I mean songs that you genuinely COULD NOT STAND...but now you listen to them regularly. What are they?

For me, Bold & Delicious and HONEY. With B&D I really didn't like that YAYAGAGADADAWOWO thing, nor did I like the gospel-style. But now I love it! Especially since Ayu's singing is so fantastic in it :luv2. With HONEY, I didn't like that high-pitch thing she did at all (I still don't), but I grew to really love the overall sound and subtle guitars.

Liar, In The Corner, HONEY, Days

Bold & Delicious
I did find the YAGADAWO thing silly, and didn't think it was music..

Pride
Just the start, "Kimi no sono", I hated that! I don't know why, but I did.. It was just.. Aargh

ANGLE'S SONG
I remember that I deleted it after I heard it. I hated the start (I wasn't used to such beginnings that Ayu uses), and found it WAY to sugar-sweet: My only thought was "People who listen to such music doesn't have any feelings or emotions of their music. They should just go home"

Born To Be...
OMG how I just found this booring

HEAVEN
It just wasn't my style..

Days
I don't "love" it now, but I find it better after hearing it loud :love

HEAVEN, Together When..., rollin', Rule, Days, poker face, Daybreak, no more words, and I am... all grew onto me.

I think vogue is the one that grew on me most!

HANABI ~episode II~

i think that's about it~

Like most newbies, I used to hate B&D

About You & Inspire :P

SCAR... i used to skip this track, but since ayu sang them with feelings... i liked them

forgiveness, I just found it really boring and I didn't even listen to it all, now I think it's really pretty.

(don't) leave me alone, just didn't find it that memorable, then I listened to it again and I was like, OMFG <3

BLUE BIRD, I think it was actually the first Ayu song I heard and I really didn't like it so I really hated her because everyone else loved her ^^' Then I downloaded GUILTY and fell in love <3 Then I downloaded Secret and fell in love again! BLUE BIRD is my favourite happy song from her now ^_^

Hell to the yes! :D

Anyways, Bold & Delicious..yeah, that beginning was just...ugh.

kiss o' kill..I never liked it much until one day I just decided to sit through it and I found it just so...awesome.

Believe it or not, I really hated Moments.

now it's awesome.

Rule and EnergizE

one word:
HUMMING

Bold & Delicious
Liar
In The Corner
SCAR
Naturally

I used to hate UNITE and evolution. Now theyre two of my favorites

I used to hate Angel's Song, but now I love it

Most songs from RAINBOW...

Now I can´t stop listening to this album!!!!:luv2

most of her ballads
B&D
her really early stuff

It was almost the whole A song for xx album. But now I LOVE it. It has some charming magic in it. :)

uhmm

I would say HANABI... the first time i heard this song I was like WTH


and now its in my top 10 favourite songs of all times LOL

Dearest, appears, in the corner, HANABI, Far Away

None, the songs I didn't like first time around I still don't like.

AUDIENCE and Trauma

Forgivness - at first I used to think this song was so BORING! But I love the lyrics and the ending part of the song

Criminal- I just hated that violin,but now I'm kind of used to it. I still wish it wasn't there though lol

Liar- I never even bothered to try to listen to this song,before I ended up loving it

LOVE ~Destiny~
I love it now thanks to the 10th Anniversary version <3

And INSPIRE, Voyage, too late and Greatful days.

I used to hate Secret...But soon I started to like this song and I dunno why..:P

POWDER SNOW
too late
A Song for XX

especially A Song for XX, gradually becoming my ultimate Ayu song... it's the most personally moving of all songs i love.

I finally re-discovered Voyage :yes

I did hate it since the first time I heard the song and when I watched the PV.

But when I watched the performance of Voyage on Asia Tour 2008, I just loved it!!. Now I bring a Concert-rip version of that song in my player, instead of the original mix.

The entire LOVEppears album. I used to think every song was horrible and thought that "80% of the album sounded the same", the only song I liked from the start was Boys & Girls. Now LOVEppears is probably my favorite Ayu album <________<

Other songs would be HEAVEN, Rule, and Mirrorcle World.

probably GAME... I hated that song with a passion when I first heard it. Now, I love it, and I love singing it! :heart
I can't think of others, since it was just mostly "meh" songs that grew on me..

Real Me used to annoy me, but now i find it fun and energetic!

hmmmm I am probably one of the few that has never hated any of Ayu's songs. ^^;;

jeje
Bold & Delicious, too... 'cos I hate the 'yah yah yah go go go wo wo wo!

I hated STEP you for a week after the single leaked. XD

I used to hate GREEN! Now it's little by little growing on me.. sometimes I found myself singing it XD Also when I heard Sparkle (full, not preview) I kinda disliked it, but after listening couple times, I love it!

untitled ~for her~
I used to hate it because the recording and mix is horrible(not much emotion in the recorded version) but I love it since I saw the CDL0708 performance and read the lyrics
Beautiful Fighters
Hated it in the beginning, but now I really, really like it xD
BLUE BIRD
I thought it was boring...then I told myself to listen to Secret completely in a row and came to really enjoy it, its so relaxing
In the Corner
I didn't like the style of it, but now I really enjoy it because it's so different and unique for ayu
Pride
Hated it, watched AT06, LOVED it
rainy day
Fell in love after watching the PV, became one of my favourite songs when I watched CDL0506
Beautiful Day
I dont love it, but I hated it before and now i think its ok
INSPIRE
Ive gone through a period when I hated it, one when I absolutely loved it(even declared it my favourite song) and now I think its ok.
CAROLS, walking proud
Didnt like them, listened to the acoustic versions, watched AT05, loved them
forgiveness
I thought it was way too long and too boring at first, but now its one of the most touching songs to me
Because of You
Dont know why I disliked it before, but now I really like it
Voyage
The tone of her voice annoyed me first, but I think its a lovely ballad now.
Daybreak
Hated the beginning and skipped it immediatly, now its among my favourite songs
Over
PCDL0809 made me like it^^
SIGNAL
PCDL0809 again^^

But theres tons of songs I used to like but now dislike, too(STEP you, momentum, 1 LOVE, ANGEL'S SONG...)

Same here.

I used to hate ANGEL'S SONG...and then I really liked it for a while...and now I hate it again. hahaha

- mirrorcle world
- talkin' 2 myself

I love both songs now. :)

EnergizE bugged the living hell out of me the first few times I ever heard it. But now, I think it's cute and spunky.

I also used to find HANABI boring, and forgiveness whiny. Now I think they're both gorgeous tracks.

WHATEVER and P.S II have a chance to grow on me... I hated them both violently until I listened through to LOVEppears earlier today, and now? Not too bad at all. But that could have just been some sort of brief moment of softness.

Rule. I used to hate it because it was out of my expectation but now I love it more than any of Ayu's rock song

I didn't like forgiveness, or For My Dear... but I love them now. :D

LIAR
In the Corner
Beautiful Day
HAPPY ENDING
B&D

Memorial Address
and About You...
and "+"
and We wish...

i used to hate kiss o kill but now,i've changed my mind :D
i like this song after i've watched AT07.

Beautiful fighters

~For a long time I didn't like it but now it's actually one of my fav songs from Ayu.

rollin'

~When NEXT LEVEL came out I thought this song was boring but now it has really grown on me.

Curtain call

~I didn't take any notice on Curtain call at first but after a while started loving it.

At least these songs, I'll edit if something else comes to my mind :)

UNITE! and Jewel.

Sunrise. At the beginning, I don't like this song much. But then, when after several days I hear it again and again, it grew in me :D

mirrorcle world - not that I ever hated it, but I loved mirror, and I don't think it ever needed to be lengthened. But I do love mirrorcle world more now. as a full song
Greatful Days - Para one remix made me love this song so much more.

I used to hate the A Song for XX and LOVEppears albums because of her voice x_x

But now i loved them and kept replaying them XD

mmmm, for my dear, far away, HANABI, forgiveness and my name is woman

Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~

It's still a awful song for me but after some listenings I thought 'uhm that's ok, not so bad as Days luckily lol' :D

I used to HATE BaD. now adays, I just loathe and despise it.

Hmmm... I never really, like, HATED any of her songs, but I never really liked HONEY, but I must say, it's really grown on me :love

bold & delicious
i thought it was an absolutely atrocious when it came out, but now i can tolerate it, and even sing along to it

fairyland - that was most hated song of Ayu. It took me years to listen full track... And it happened few weeks ago.
NEXT LEVEL - I've thought this is generic song. Now it's one of my beloved Ayu songs. So calm and relaxing.
... and rest of non-single tracks of NEXT LEVEL - I hated this album; now I love it soo much <3
Greatful days - I couldn't stand listening to this song. Recently I enjoy this and it's one of my most favourite 'summer happy upbeat' songs.
still alone - least favourite track on I am... which became one of favourite
talkin' 2 myself - song which, with NEXT LEVEL, grown in me mostly. I love this <3
Depend on You - I remember days when I absolutely hate it. 10th Anniversary version has changed my mind and I've liked original version too^^

Mirrorcle World - first time I listen to this I found it horrible >.< but now I really like it O.O
Bold & Delicious - yes ^^° ...
Sparkle - first thought after viewing the PV was "WTF! O____O" second thought after watching it again was "LOVE! ♥___♥"

haha i cant agree more! i thought the opening was really good, everlasting dream is one of my favourite opening song from ayu, and after we can hear ayu screeching "tsuyoku tsuyoku~" :shakehead seriously? i dont really too fond of real me for the very first time, i think its weird too. hanabi and independent doesnt attracting me too since i feel that its lacking something in the melody.

i dont really say i like all of it now, but i get used to it already

I never like ASFXX before but after watching that kick*** performance from A-Nation 08, I can't stop listening to it now

Fly High
Trauma
evolution
M
STEP you

I used to dislike them when I first got into ayu...hahaha

I used to hate Trust & monochrome. these are my most loved songs now.

GREEN at first I found this song horrible and now it's a masterpiece to my ears =)

I used to hate you&me, evolution, microphone ... but now, they always in my playlist

Most of the GUILTY and I am... albums.

(don't) Leave me alone
monochrome
appears

monochrome was my most played track from 2013... :roflmao

lol I used to hate HEAVEN?

I used to detest and hate You were..., CAROLS, and beloved. But after actually owning the first and last songs on their respective albums and listening to CAROLS more carefully, I've come to appreciate them.

Only A Song is born and Bold & Delicious lol

I used to dislike Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~, but now I like it :)
But You & Me is still and will remain a big NO to me !! XD

For some reason I hated until that Day... more than anything. The guitar riffs reminded me of some American rock band song that I still can't figure out. It was the only song of Ayu's I didn't have on my iPod, but now, like all of Secret, I just love it.

As If... - boring song and the title bugged me (just found out she most likely means "tatoeba" which should be "what if"). But I've come to like the Acoustic Orch. version from, what, 1999? So I've got that going for me which is nice. Still not loving the song, though... Just less hating ;)

vogue - thought it was boring, took me a while to appreciate the beauty of it

Naturally - after I read the lyrics, I fell in love with it. Couldn't put it down for months

forgiveness - always thought it was missing something, but after PoM'11 I take all that back

HONEY- omfg how I hated this! Her voice is awful and the song meant nothing to me in lyrics :D But latley she's been performing it from time to time and I can appreciate it more now :)

ANGEL'S SONG - I got so scared the first time I heard it!!! I jumped off my seat :D And I haaaated the video so much, loved her dress, but hated the video. I mean... come on, were they even trying? o.O But now I guess it has grown on me, and it is cuuute ^-^

fairyland - only song from (m)u I didn't like when I first bought it many years ago, in '06 I think. But after seeing the video, I melted like I was rubber :D And the lyrics are beautiful, I love this part: Even now I don't understand
The meaning of growing up
But I wonder where that girl or that boy in my memory
Is now walking and aiming for // The childhood memories are still in my heart
We never knew what would be waiting for in our futures

JEWEL - I'm still not crazy about her vocals, but I love this now :) maybe it's just a face, hhaha :D

BRILLANTE - love the song now but the vid is awful, I almost wish I never saw it, ruined it for me... :S

Dearest - This has more to do with the context I listened to it than anything else. I first heard it as the end theme for Inuyasha then some other random anime montage on youtube. I really hated both of them and every time I listened to this song it made me think of this and made me hate the song. For a long time it was one of my least favorite Ayu songs for that reason, but later I started watching the PV and live performances for this song and started really liking it. Now it's in my top 10 all time favorite songs ever.

On a side note Dearest is also the first Ayu song I ever heard back in 02/03

INSPIRE, and now one of my faves

Sexy little things. I just mentally threw that song under the rug for 3 reasons: the title felt icky to me, the PV scared me, and the song just sounded too weird and foreign to me, like chewing a sticky too-sweet candy. I wanted nothing to do with it. But one day I decided to do an art piece about the PV and listened to the song for days as I worked. I got used to it surprisingly fast and though it's not one of my favorite tunes, its freaky circus flair grew on me.

Bold & Delicious. I used to want to perform an exorcism for this song. I despised it so much. I knew she wanted to try something new with a fun and playful gospel chorus-y song, and I suppose I should appreciate it, but it's so loud and in your face and her voice is so obnoxious in the song.

But now, I wittled my hatred down to just a really really really strong dislike for the song, like taking a bite of something that makes you cringe. You end up swallowing it eventually after a ton of chewing, but only after battling your gag reflex first.

You were..., BALLAD, Sunset ~love is all~, forgiveness

you were is the only one I sometimes listen to xDD

the whole Duty album... save for teddy bear and AUDIENCE. i purposely avoided that album like the plague for years. but once i finally downloaded the whole album and listened to it as an album, i was like "OMFG THIS IS GENIUS!" :banana1

still alone - used to get annoyed at her high notes, but now i see them as... full of emotional despair and desperation :rolleyes

decision - i didn't like how she deepened her voice but honestly a couple of AHS remixes enabled me to dig this song in its original form.

GUILTY - thought the singing was too slow for the music.

the whole Party queen album. it wasn't necessarily the songs themselves, just the song arrangements and how it went from like party-party to ballads to broadway to ballad... but yeahhhhh, i really really like this album now after a few listens.

a song is born - couldn't stand her voice there, it gave me headache. After PoM I love it-
Born to be... -meh-
Thank U - looked a bit too lalai to me. (lol) now I like it-

I used to hate all of Party Queen except for call till I decided to sit down and actually "listen" to the album. Now, I've come to appreciate the whole thing.

I totally forgot to mention You & Me haha

It was such a total disappointment for me~ :laugh

Oh I forgot some songs...the next love and eyes,smoke,magic @_@

glitter - I didn't pay attention to it when I first listened to it, but at least now I can stand it without any kind of trouble
Curtain call - at first, I thought it was so... boring? but now I love it! It also makes me think of my daughter :)

Bold & Delicious! I HATED it so much, but the live versions made me love it!
And also Sexy little things. At first I thought it was pretty weird to mix electro-pop and charleston (?), but now I think it's unique. I haven't heard anything like it by any other Pop singer to this day. :)

Bold & Delicious and Pride, but now I absolutely love those songs, and I think B&D was my most replayed song at one point.

I have a few.

vogue
Poker face
MY ALL
Ballad
Meaning of love
SEASONS
INSPIRE
ourselves
Replace
fairy land- I really have no reason as to why I didn't like this song, as it's now one of my absolute faves
Independent
Trauma
Duty
Girlish

I know I have more but I'm not looking at her discography so those are the only ones that first came to mind

I used to hate Evolution but now I love it.

Ballads. I need time for them. But I can't say that I hated them. They were boring.

Another Song. I was so disappointed when I first heard it as I remember thinking "this doesn't sound Ayu at all" which was silly as I now don't feel this way - even if it isn't the most Ayumi-ish tune - and I can enjoy the song.

Same. It was my first Ayu song. I couldn't stand it the first time I heard it, MV for it didn't help either. I still wouldn't say I love it but I definitely enjoy listening to it now.

Voyage, Independent

I used to not like these songs since 2003 but I started recently to appreciate them a bit more.
