Well... for me, her cute songs stand out A LOT.

ANGEL'S SONG
HONEY
MY ALL

... I really love these songs! And you can NEVER find a similar song in that same era/album, so it's really 'fresh'!

And uh I found Ladies Night and In The Corner VERY 'refreshing' too... they just are not the songs I would expect Ayu to be singing... it's like wow, and Bold & Delicious is kind of like that too, but there's this Ayu attitude in that song that I can identify with.

Mirrorcle World was another FRESH OF BREATH AIR too! It's very unique, experimental and different... like wow, now when I listen to the xylophones... it's still very fresh and sends me shivering.

Life was also another fresh song... it was a LONG time since Ayu did this sort of laid-back pop/rock song... the last time was like YOU? Lol, I really felt that way.

And yes, the GREEN/Days single was another fresh one too... it's her best and most favorite single to me, so it's very special. I mean I'm sure no one expected GREEN to sound like how it did... yes it's oriental like part of Me/Will but it's really different too... something about it is so OMG!

And Days... my favorite song. This song is NOTHING like her past winter ballads that have always been very dark (maybe except Close to you)... and the arrangement was <3, I still shiver when I hear the bells/piano when she sings "Aitaku te..."

In fact, her most recent songs are the freshest to me. I don't think it's because they're a novelty, cos Rule and Sparkle weren't fresh to me, they were just a throwback to her old days, which I liked, but nope, not something 'fresh', for me at least.

Days = <3
