Ayumi songs you disliked but now like...
 

I've noticed that some of the songs Ayumi Hamasaki has written have really grown on me after I initially disliked them... What are some of yours?

Here are some of mine:
Snowy Kiss: someone described it as an ear-bleed. I agree to a certain degree, but upon just recently listening to it, I found it to be kind of amazing. It makes my heart rate go crazy because of how hectic it is. XD But the instruments were actually kind of cool.

Ivy: I originally found this song WEIRD. Like...I just didn't know what to make of it. It's probably my second favorite song from LOVE again now. :D

Meaning of Love: I really thought this song was super bland... Now, I think it's really pretty and sweet.

Real me: this song might be on the list of first ten songs I heard of Ayu's. I HATED it and refused to listen to it. Now, I love it. I think the lyrics and the song itself is really cool.

Dearest: I don't even know why I could ever dislike this song... When I was younger, I found it boring. Now I think it's one of her most beautiful songs ever....

Any track I like from the first 3 albums xD I had huge problems with her voice!

They are no such songs, there are only songs I disliked and still dislike or such that I didn't really listen to enough to like them and still don't listen to them, but there is one song I didn't listen to much but then I heard a fanmade remix and I fell in love with the song, it's 'from your letter sleeperspaceborn remix'

My main problem at the beggining was with songs from ASFxx through I am.. era.

Also, I used to hate STEP you but now I really enjoy it! Others: HONEY (now I find it acceptable), Beautiful fighters (I find this song very amuzing!)

I totally know what you mean. I disliked STEP you very, very much. I now find it to be pretty catchy, but I still don't listen to it much.

I like HONEY, now as well.

As for her early albums...I think I've always had a soft spot for them. :)

Green and Guilty mainly.

I remember not liking Moments at one time lol


I also think Feel the Love is a good song for her. I originally thought it was an awful song, but the PV made it better. I still really dislike it though yuck.

Guilty was a big one, along with Dearest

Most of her early discography aside, well there are the two jazz songs from Party Queen, what were they, the next Love and Eyes, Smoke, Magic :)

The only song that immediately comes to mind is Pray. I think I was like everyone else and suffered from severe ballad fatigue after Love again (even though I love the ballads on that album), so I was sick of Pray from first listen. However, some months later, I've fallen in love with the song.

I understand that everyone has their opinions but I don't understand how any one can think it is a "bad song." Even when I disliked it I had to admit it sounded great :laugh

On the other hand, I still hate everyone's favorite, Tell all lol. It is the single greatest disappointment in my 13+ years of ayu fandom.

INSPIRE and Born To Be...

I still haven't really taken to Pray yet... I do know that it's a good song though.

thanks for sharing! this mix sounds amazing :)

Anything from her first two albums is kinda hard for me to listen to because of her voice. I never liked YOU but after reading the lyrics and Ayu releasing a new version of it, I really enjoy it. I even listen to the original version a lot (can finally handle the voice after years xD)
The same happened with Depend on you and poker face, I needed time to like them and new/live versions.
I also never really paid attention to some other older songs, but after ayu performed them during PCDL I really started to like them!

I hated Microphone, but now I love it and also the video, and how it blends with "Sexy little things". :)

I used to dislike WHATEVER but then watching the live version from CDL04-05 totally changed my opinion of the song. Same with theme of a-nation '03 and the CDL05-06 performance.

How could you hate Tell All? :o Its fantastic haha,
I disliked lots of songs at first listen tbh, Angel's Song, Curtain Call, Daybreak, Greatful Days, Trauma and Voyage spring to mind...But I pretty much love them all now except Trauma!

MOON!

When I discovered Ayu in 2006, the only song of hers I really liked was Angel's Song :P ... but I liked it so much I was willing to stick with her even though I didn't really like any of her other songs at the time. Originally, I dismissed M and Free & Easy because I had only heard remixes; but then I heard the originals and got to appreciate the genius behind them. M, right away; Free & Easy took a while to grow on me though.

This all happened around 2007/2008 though. Right now, the lists of songs I like and dislike is pretty stable.

I disliked "Moments" single when it was out. Same with "fairyland". I was like "waaaat, alterna is so grunge/rocky and goes with peachy-cute fairyland?" and now I really like those songs cause they are very pro arranged (the climax in fairyland is just pure gold)
maybe I like Moments bcause it was my first single I waited for xd And now i just feel sympathy about it.

I disliked whole "NEXT LEVEL" album and now I really like it.
I remember how angry I was cause from the previews it sounded amazing and then I was "meh."

I also disliked Don't look back and now I don't have negative feelings about it, but still, it sound a little boring to me xd

i also disliked do it again at first, and now it's my top 3 Love songs song <3 maybe bcause of fantastic pv? ;d
