Spoiler:
01 - GREEN
It was the first new release I was aware of after I found ayu in 2008. It has a special place in my heart as well as Days because duh, GREEN/Days / Days/GREEN

02 - Song 4 U
It was one of the prime eras I had with ayu when this came out. Song 4 U is my motivation song with
"What was it? Who was it?
That made you decide that somehow
you could try to move forward once more"

03 - You & Me
ayu has so many summer bops but for some reason it's You & Me even tho it's not my favorite summer song

04 - NOW & 4EVA
well shortly my ex who basically ruined my life at that time

05 - Terminal
does it really need explaining? Armin did a good job with this one, still get the chills when the best drops

06 - Lelio
it's really hard to listen to this song and not dance that choreography

07 - monochrome
i dont know why but this was the first song that came to my mind. it's so melancholic like a dream so it would fit traveling perfectly! just sitting there and watch outside of the window while everything passes by

08 - Party queen
because this might be the only one? which is funny how in kpop there are many songs which have lyrics about alcohol and drugs yet ayu doesn't have any.. is it cultural or is ayu just pure and sweet?

09 - EnergizE
how can I be sad or moody while listening to this? oh hell no!!

10 - Secret
it's just an vulnerable song full of emotion

11 - Mirrorcle World
my ultimate number 1 song from ayu since 2008 and will always be! I found ayu in 2008 and actually i can still remember visiting her official avex website somewhere near april/may 2008 when there was Mirrorcle World theme. this song reminds me of my 14 yo self yet it still fits in my life now even after 12 years later. I actually played this song like 24/7 in january/february 2020 after watching Promised Land because it took me to the memory lane

12 - Real me
I became a fan of her around may/june 2008 and Real me was my first ayu song ever iirc in march 2008. it was through last.fm when you could still listen songs via that scrobbled they had (idk if it's still the same?). i wasn't that big fan of Real me until I saw that legendary PREMIUM COUNTDOWN LIVE performance and fell in love with it right away! I learned that choreography completely with every moves ayu made while performing because it was just soo cool back then! I'm pretty confident I could still remember it mostly if I tried

13 - Trust
I don't even know why I love this song so much. A Song for ×× as an album have so many underrated gems

14 - CAROLS
it would be really beautiful to have a first dance as a couple while piano or violin version of CAROLS would be played. it has kinda sad melody but if I ever chose to have ayu's song played at my wedding, it would be something thats really personal to me and my husband. although I'd prefer music only without singing

15 - Many Classic Moments
I love ayu's version of this song so much! ayu's all cover songs are good but this is the best one.

16 - Love song
I personally would say Love song is one of her recent and one of the last classics she actually has. I love the piano in this song and lyrics are really beautiful

17 - What is forever love
This is such an underrated gem imo. I have always liked it ever since it came out.

18 - Connected
Well January is easy since there is so many albums released but I will go with this one. Fell for it in 2009 and still love this song


19 - how beautiful you are
haha cheesy but sometimes we all should think about our lives with the thought that we are all enough and beautiful. social media tends to make me feel insecure about myself almost everyday and makes me often think about how everyone else has everything better than me. after all we are all the same and we all deserve to be loved the way we are. i'll have to admit that i might not be the biggest fan of the song but everytime i think about it, it makes me appreciete my life

20 - Merry-go-round
this was the hardest one for my to choose because almost every song has only one strong feeling in to it in my mind. Merry-go-round was released when I was in a relationship that was like one in the lyrics, everytime I said goodbye when we parted, I never was sure was that the last time I would see him. We broke up on new years eve which kinda was in the lyrics as well. After some time passed, it became my "it's time to let go" song and even later "i'm gonna find someone else someday in the future" song. So this song for me is the one with messy relationship, break up, healing and moving on. Everytime I listen to it, I think about him tho but in a bittersweet way
