Love the message, and this makes me like it a little more than I should:
How beautiful you are


Ayu's videos tend to be very hit or miss to me, so, no surprise here... Since 2008 I only loved 5 of her videos, so...

TV lives

Everything was ok... I don't care much about her TV lives, or jpop TV lives.


Concerts

The Power of Music: Her best concert ever paired with Rock n Roll Circus. This concert is a high level lesson on performance. Period.

CDL Hotel Love Songs: Her voice was amazing, but it seemed to be somewhat unfinished costume and choreography-wise... I believe the AT version won't feel like that. Still, it was very entertaining and I loved the setlist.

A-Nation: It was also very entertaining, but not really the best IMO (my favorites are 2008, 2009 and 2010)

Still... I'm comparing her to herself, all of her concert performances released this year were pretty much top level performances by any standart in pop music. IMO, this is were she always shines the most.
wow, this part is almost the same for me!!
Just the songs I would put it differently:

Among my all time Ayu's favorite:
Eyes, Smoke, Magic, Snowy Kiss, Return Road, Ivy, Letter

Good music:
Reminds me, Tell me why, Missing, Melody, call, Song 4 u, Sweet Scar

Really catchy:
Party queen, NaNaNa, Shake It♥, You & Me, Wake me up

Indiferent music:
How Beautiful You Are, the next LOVE


Musically, this year was awesome and the concerts were great!
It's sad that there was too much controversy as well
