BRILLANTE (2011)
BRILLANTE is such a clever arranged song. I did not understand the videoclip at all. However, my mind was blown when somebody on AHS pointed out that in the end they say goodbye in multiple languages (all starting with an A). From all the songs she and Timmy made, BRILLANTE stands out the most for me.
Sweet Scar (2012/2013)
This song is probably my favourite song post-Love songs era. Don't know how to describe it, really, but I like that it sound so 'small' and fragile. I love some big compositions too, but Sweet Scar does in its own little way soothe me. Also the instrumentals are so beautiful that it takes me into another world when I listen to this song.
Last minute (2014)
Last minute reminds me (like everyone) so much of Memorial Address. Even the lyrics do sort of match. But I think Last minute is very pure and truthfull and it really suits Ayumi's character. This song tells me that Ayumi has not changed so much over the years. I enjoyed the overall 'back to basic' sound of the A ONE era, even though the mixing seemed to lack a bit. But I don't care so much about that.
WARNING (2015)
To me, WARNING is the ultimate anthem. I enjoyed it, because it was based on real events in her life. This song was a great creation. The attitude makes it cool.
Lelio (2013)
Not sure whether I could call this a guilty pleasure or 'one of her best songs in latest years.' Because, it certainly is not. But Lelio is such a great jam. I could listen to it over and over and it still gives me a lot of energy. I also loved Merry-go-round from this era, but I have nothing interesting to say about that song. And I don't think it is one of the best or memorable songs from her recent eras. Lelio stand out the most from Colours.
Sorrows (2015)
You love or you hate Sorrows. Some blame it on the mixing, but I did not pay so much attention for that. I really enjoyed Sorrows and thought the instrumental was very dramatic, which suits the overall desperation of this song. The remix on A7 ~ Winter Diary~ was nice too. It suits the style of the song.
