Spoiler:
Day 01: A song you like with a colour in the title
RAINBOW
RAINBOW is such a soft and calm Song ans I love that about

Day 02: A song you like with a number in the title
1 Love
I choose this one because I really got into Ayu a few month before this song and Secret got release. Still Love it but I choose it more for the nostalgia behind it

Day 03: A song that reminds you of summertime
NEXT LEVEL
This is a song I often listen to when the sun is out. I don't know but it always gives me a good vibe and makes me wanna go outside and relax in the sun

Day 04: A song that reminds you of someone you’d rather forget
crossroad
Well... I cried my heart out over a boy listening to this song. This guy had the guts to ignore me after a while and years later mde me hope tht this time it would work out.... only to get told via text message that he still h something for his stupid girl.
It sucks because crossroad is one of my most favourite Ayu songs but sometimes it reminds me of this guy. If only crossroad game out a little bit later

Day 05: A song that needs to be played loud
Terminal
I think this one needs no further explanation and speaks for itself

Day 06: A song that makes you want to dance[
Trauma
This on is hard. I'm Not someone who dances alot but If I feel Like Dancing I choose whatever I Like at that moment. But I'm going to choose Trauma as I Always feel the urge to do the little dance moves when I listen to it

Day 07: A song for riding the train
Born to Be
Since I have my own car I don't Ride the train as much as I used to but I Always found myself enjoying listening to Born to Be alot. It's easy to forget your sorrows and just enjoy the ride with this song

Day 08: A song about drugs or alcohol
Party Queen
The First one that came to mind. And isn't this the only one she has that are about alcohol/drugs?

Day 09: A song that makes you happy
Greatful days
It's such a cheerful feel-good song for me that makes it easy to enjoy the moment and only think about Happy things. The eurobeat remix of glitter from ayu-ro mix 4 ís a close second

Day 10: A song that makes you sad
reminds me
The lyrics for this song are so great and everytime I read them I get a little sad because they well, reminds me, of sad times from the past

Day 11: A song you never get tired of
A Song for XX
One of my all time favourite and one of the only songs that I listen to everytime it comes up[

Day 12: A song from your pre Ayu fan days
Ladies Night
The first time I heard about Ayumi was reading an articel from a german Manga magazine, it was around 2002/03 and I decided that "now I'm a fan of her". I only knew 1 one Song ( connected) at that time and nowadays woudn't call it being a fan. I got to know more of Ayu and her music in 2006 around th Release of Blue Bird. So that gives me a lot of stuff to choose from, which is hard XD Ladies Night was one of the first Songs that came to my mind

Day 13: A song you like from the 90s
kanariya "Jonathan Peters' Vocal Club Mix"
Ever since I first watched the the PV I'm in Love with this Version of kanariya, it's Not the full remix that Í like because it's waaaay to long imo but the part that ís also being used in the PV is perfection. As for the original Hidden track version one LOVEppears: I also love this one and that it gives the song a complete other and unique feeling.

Day 14: A song you’d love to be played at your wedding
Voyage
If I'm every going to marry someone I guess Voyage would be a song that I'd make sure is being played. Maybe even during the ceremony, maybe when I walking down the aisle XD. Always thought that Voyage would be a fitting Song for a wedding.

Day 15: A song you like that’s a cover
One Night Carnival
Sadly this song were only performed live once at the Arena Tour 2012 but it was so much fun watching this performance. After that I added the original from Kishidan to my mp3 Player . Would be awesome to have a full version with only Ayu singing this song.
If I had to name a song that can be found in a single/ Album I'd say Many Classic Moments. Like the sound of that one

Day 16: A song that’s a classic favourite
SURREAL
Also have to go with this one. The lyrics have a great Message and I find the song itself very powerful, especially with that guitar solo. This gives me life everytime

Day 17: A song I would like to sing a duet with on karaoke?
NaNaNa
I also going with this song. As xLuna&1LOVE Said I can imagen this Song to be Lots of fun at Karaoke. Just dancing around like crazy while the other sings and having the time of your life.

Day 18: A song from the month you were born
Rule
I don't have much choice, it was either going to be Rule or Sparkle as this single were released in my 18th Birthday. Thank you Ayumi for auch a great single as a Birthday Gift so I picked Rule because it's a great Rock Song and I also live the PV. Got that Hair Cut she has in the pv a little Bit after it's release

Day 19: A song that makes you think about life
everywhere nowhere
The opening alone speaks so many truth and makes me think about life and choices that I made through my life

Day 20: A song that has many meanings to you
crossroad
For this day I have to go with crossroad again. One of the meaning can be found in my answer for day 4. Crossroad helped me last year during a hard time were I Had to make a decisions: Will I Go Back to Germany or do I want to spent more time in Iceland? It was such a hard Thing to decide because there was No right or wrong and Í kinda wanted both. crossroad was a song that helped me sort out thing while I took a long Walk. This and also everywhere nowhere

Day 21: A song you like with a flower in the title
Hana
One of the best album tracks from A Song for XX and those lyrics hít me right in the feels when I was younger. It was such a Nice surprise when she performed this gem at the PCDL.

Day 22: A song that moves you forward
Step by step
This songs lyrics are so good whenever I need a reminder that it's okay to look at all the smalls things I did and/or are going to achieved in order to reach something bigger.

Day 23: A song you think everybody should listen to
Dolls
This song is so beautiful in every single was. From the way her voice sounds over the lyrics to the music. This is a truely underrated gem in her discography and more people should listen to this beautiful work or Art. Especially unser northern lights, then this song becomes even more beautiful

Day 24: A song composed by CREA
Naturally
Another hard one because I love most of her CREA songs. Í make it Harder by Not trying to chose the same sing twice ( crossroad will be the only one). So I went with Naturally because it is my favourite album track from I am...

Day 25: A song you like about death
Hanabi
You know, I'm not sure if this song really ís about death or Just about a former lover but there is this one Part in the lyrics that makes it a song about death for me. Í guess we all had someone close to us pass away and we don't need to remember them because they will always be there and never will be forgotten.

Day 26: A song that makes you want to fall in love
Honey
Is it a cheesy Song? Yes, it is but that's the reason I Like it XD I can see myself listening to it up and down If I ever am fresh in Love with someone and just want to smile Like a fool about my partner

Day 27: A song that breaks your heart
POWDER SNOW
This is the third time I changed my answer. Already Had Sorrows and Like a doll standing in POWDER SNOWS place but she really dies have lots of heart-wrenching Songs in my past there where Times when I had similar thought as Ayu describes in this Song e.g wanting to Go somewhere where nobody knows me and there where also times when I Just wanted to cry until it's all over

Day 28: A song you especially like Ayu's voice in
everlasting dream
It's a song that is not even 2 minutes Long but vocally it's a awesome start to the Rainbow album. And I think this song could have been my favourite track of the album of it where longer. Love how light and soft she songs in this song


Day 29: A song that makes you nostalgic
Connected
Thinking about the first time I ever heared of Ayu makes me think about waaay Back, when at one night I searched the TV stations for something to watch and catched the last ... ~30 seconds of the music video. I was so hyped after that and had the urge to Tell my best friend at that time all about how awesome it was. And you know it got better. Idk how long after that I went to a german multimedia store and found the german single for Connected. This CD has been played over and over again in my discman. My Mom Had to scole me Sometimes to finally Out that thing away XD


Day 30: A song that reminds you of yourself
Fly high

If I don't start it, then it won't start
I can related to this Lyrics so much. I myself habe been afraid to try and Take the First step in order to change or a get something but how should I ever get it when I'm scared of starting to take the first step? For me it also felt like there was road getting longer and longer because I didn't try to change a certain Thing and If felt to late, but honestly thinking about it now I'd say to my Younger self that it's never to late
