I'm sorry to say this, especially because I'm a super sentimental person, but Ayu songs don't make me cry. Why? Because I don't understand the lyrics unless I read the translation, so it's hard to really grasp the emotion being put into the vocals and the music when I'm not understanding what she's saying right away. I don't know, the language barrier kind of ebbs away that special emotional experience, if you know what I mean.

Now does this mean I don't find Ayu's songs to be touching and sentimental? Of course not! If I understood right off the bat, I'd say Memorial Address ~Take 2 version~, HANABI, and MY ALL would probably choke me up....and that's just from what I can recollect as having sad lyrics, but I'm sure there's more.
