[Bad Wolf]

It's funny, every song you mention in the first post I either like or I love. I find it hard to believe that people don't like part of Me--what's not to like about it? D:

As for Life, I didn't think much of it when I first heard it, but it's become a sort of warm comfort-song, I think. It sounds like a session from the MY STORY era (whose songs are all almost flawless, IMO, and I'm astounded to see you mention that people don't like those songs either!), with the obvious difference of her vocals. It makes me a little sad to think that Life will probably just be ignored totally from here on out.

You mentioned GUILTY and I have to say that's one of my favorite recent Ayu songs. I'm not sure how to explain why I like it.. I think it's because it's different for her, even at the height of her 'rock' sound/style. There's this very desolate or forlorn feel to the song in the words, and also in the music--there's something about that steady drone that I think is really effective. It sounds like a person who is honestly distraught over their thoughts or their feelings, reaching a kind of breaking point.

To mention an underrated song, I'd have to say It was achieves that. That's probably one of my favorite tracks off the Secret album. Also I'm not sure how crazy people are about ever free--I know it got an Acoustic Orchestra version but it kind of seems to have been neglected, which is a little upsetting.. I think it's one of her very powerful early tracks.

(and lolwut people don't like NEXT LEVEL? What the hell is wrong with Ayu fans XD)
