good ayu songs to start out with?

[Kei Rei]

so i've been talking to this guy in one of my classes. we got onto the subject of music, and he said something about going to clubs.

him: yeah, so this one club i go to has a j-pop night every once in a while. the other night, they were playing this singer named amumi hasagaki or something...?

me:

him: have you heard of her?

i told him i'd burn a CD of some of her songs to introduce him, and that he'd probably really like her. he's heard random remixes, but the only name he remembers is fly high. so i wanted your opinions on what ayu songs are good to play for someone who's never heard her before. i was thinking of a mix of really famous songs like M, SURREAL, fly high, etc., but i also wanted some lesser-known songs like HAPPY ENDING, And Then, ever free, etc.

opinions?

[AyUta]

You should go with Dearest, SEASONS and Secret, along with three upbeat songs like STEP you, In the corner, and my names women

[ownsarai]

Fly high (original mix), Dearest, vogue, Far away, SEASONS, anything from I am.../MY STORY/(miss)understood/Secret is good, too. I started out with ASFxx, and I have been a fan ever since. ^^

[lfe.]

For introduction to her rock songs definitely put is this LOVE?/talkin 2 myself/Because of You

[panda87]

Happy Ending, Because of You, SEASONS, Heartplace... I get good reactions to those if you ask me.

[Princess Sohee]

evoltuion and surreal and m and alterna!!!!!!!!!

[Melrose]

evolution gives me bad reactions because of the high pitched voice lol.

I got the best responses from Mirrorcle World, Together When, talkin' 2 myself, is this LOVE? and Moments.

All of those

for older stuff...make sure to include and then, monochrome, and duty.

[Melrose]

Yea, monochrome is great too.

Duty seems more to be a song for certain fans of that genre tho.. I usually get the comment that it's a boring song, so I tend to stick w/ the power songs like t2m. :3

[pommy48]

hmm my friend really loved is this love after hearing it
and some other friends like HEAVEN and rainy day

Fly high,although it's my favourite Ayu song,is not a good starter.Maybe 1 LOVE or fated?

[Evolution7/4]

Plain and simple: Memorial Address aka Ayumi sampler

[Melrose]

Memorial address has a rather flat intro which is a big chunk and given as a first impression isn't too positive, as the subconscious mind will prejudice the rest of the music as flat too. =p

Yup meant the whole album which is most certainly an Ayumi sampler.

[Delirium-Zer0]

Here's 15 songs that should be pretty all-encompassing as far as her styles go. I tried not to over- or under-represent any of her genres.

A Song for XX
alterna
Because of You
Dearest
Endless sorrow
fairyland
HANABI
INSPIRE
kiss o' kill
M
ourselves
RAINBOW
Secret
SURREAL
Who...
