Most emotional Ayu songs
 

I was just listening to BALLAD and I was thinking how I always get so swept up in the raw emotion of that song - how I can really feel her longing, her desperation. I feel like if I were to ever sing that song for anything, I couldn't get through it without crying. How she keeps repeating, "I beg you, please don't leave, stay by my side", etc... it's just heartbreaking...

Which specific Ayu songs can you just feel the powerful emotion come through like this, if any?

HEAVEN ,who... and end roll ! actually i always fell a bit touching whenever i hear her ballads ! maybe BALLAD's a exception ^^!i just listened to it 5 times and never listen to it again ^^!

Probably I'd mention her dark, depressing, melancholic songs.

- ever free
- Dearest
- forgiveness
- MOON
- Together When...
- HANABI / HANABI ~episode II~
- End roll
- Free & Easy
- Far away
- SURREAL

etc.

For me...so many.

I'm surprised no one else mentioned BALLAD. It just sticks out to me so much, especially the PV. Of course there are other ones that I feel this way about, like JEWEL, HEAVEN, and Moments.

BALLAD's definitely on top for me though :3

@Pieces_of_Seven
My list is about the same as you, isn't it like songs where Ayu emphasize some of her singing, like pushing more on some verse? I think it's either that or songs with emotional lyrics

I agree with you, BALLAD is one of her most beautiful songs. I also love Together When..., and POWDER SNOW, which is so wonderful yet heartbreaking at the same time that it makes me tear up when I listen to it.

Virgin Road definitely comes to my mind first.

I dunno, Days used to touch me pretty much in the start when I didn't listen to it so much but not anymore.

all very good emotional songs.. for me, it`s always been HANABI ~episode II~...

I also love the POWDER SNOW Acoustic piano version even more than the normal version. With just the piano doing soft arpeggios behind her, it really leaves room for the emotion of the song to come through. :]

Dearest, HEAVEN, BALLAD, Together When..,Virgin Road, HANABI, Who.. but even RED LINE oftens melts me

untitled ~for her~. of course i only think it's tear jerking live, and with subtitles since I don't know japanese
