Wow, I really like this thread!

MY JOURNEY~~

Dearest
This was the song that made me discover Ayu. I used to be an obsessed fan of Inuyasha (still am, kinda xD). I went on a music craze when my grandpa told me about WinMX (I think that's what it was called). This was before LimeWire was either released or popular. So, I looked up all the artists from the animes I was watching and this was the song I had.

still alone
I was in love with this song, but I didn't know that it was by Ayu. I didn't realize that it was from her until a while later, but I thought it was a funny coincidence.

immature
Random song I downloaded from WinMX and I LOVED it! I remember putting it on repeat in my bedroom and enjoying every minute of it.

GAME
When I first listened to this song, I had the goosebumps. I thought it was the best song ever created!

evolution
It's still my favorite song to this day. I used to lay in my bed at 3:00am and listen to this song over and over again. It was the song that convinced me that I love Ayu and she was my new favorite artist.

No way to say 'Vandalize Realize mix'
Amazzzzzzzzzzing. It was one of the best remixes from her. I actually believe that this remix is better than the original. I randomly downloaded this too on LimeWire and it was labeled as the original song. So, when I listened to the original, I was kinda surprised.

Don't Look Back
This song really related to my life (currently, actually). When I listen to it, it makes me feel great, even though it's an emotional song.

glitter
I listened to this song when I was in my Tokyo hotel. I was so happy dancing in the suite looking out the window. It was the best =)

fated
Emotional and just beautiful. I believe it's one of her best ballads. It reminds me of myself and my boyfriend.

STEP you
The second PV I've ever seen of Ayu (first was GAME). I remember having dial-up internet and sitting at my mom's work laptop waiting for it to load so I can watch it.

Naturally
I was on my way to New York (driving) and I was listening to the "I am..." albums for one of the first times ever. I came across this song and just LOVED it. I remember looking out the window daydreaming and thinking to myself just how much I loved the song.

EDIT: Uh-oh, forgot something :x

Sparkle
There was a period between Secret and NEXT LEVEL where I wasn't into Ayu's music (I enjoyed the GUILTY album very much. The only song I liked from Secret was kiss o' kill; and I was obsessed with Mirrorcle World for the longest time). When I heard this song though, everything came rushing back to me. I literally sat there watching the PV with my mouth wide open. I was shocked by the genre of music Ayu tried (and it wasn't a remix!) since the last I heard a Techno-based song on a studio album was Connected (which I love!). I was also shocked on how sexy Ayu was!!! I loved that side of her and it was interesting to watch. So, this song brought me back to the world of Ayu. And I'm still in it!
