Which song do you think is Ayu's "Darkest".

Warren · #1 9th July 2016, 04:16 PM

I have an obsession with haunting tracks, I just want to know everyone's opinions on which song of Ayu's you find the most genuinely Haunting/Scary/Chilling etc. If you have multiple just do a list

Currently i'm thinking P.S II is her darkest track. There is something super icy and haunting about this track. I wish she will perform it one day live. it's possibly my favorite Ayumi song.

Besides that her other darkest tracks for me would be..

BRILLANTE
MOON
NO FUTURE
Last Minute
Marlonette
Alterna
End Of the World
SURREAL Rainbow
Moments
Is This LOVE?
& more!

Let me know your thoughts

Uknow! · #2 9th July 2016, 04:22 PM

ever free (more sad than dark)
Marionette
kiss o'kill
End of the Wold
Duty

But if I have to choose only one I'll say: GUILTY. It's her most darkest song for me.

Edit: criminal too.

I haven't heard Ever Free yet! I'm pretty lazy when it comes to B-Sides, unless they make it easy to obtain by putting them together on a compilation like No Doubt's "Everythng In Time".

Listening to it now so excited. I'm a minute in and i'm already in love. I'm pretty happy i'm discovering it through you both telling me how dark it is. It will make me pay better attention

Aside from those already listed , I would add ourselves to the list

When I 1st heard and saw the PV , I was literally terrified . I had nightmares after watching the PV , no joke about it

Also I feel that Sweetbox melodies samples that she used in (miss)understood were really under rated especially Pride and rainy day

I feel just the PV is scary though! This is why I make sure I listen to the song a few times before watching the PV so it doesn't cloud my view on it. I'm so OCD when it comes to music lol. I have listened to all of Ayu's songs at least 3 times before watching a PV besides Crossroad.

Oh my god when I watched the Ladies Night PV for the first time I was so fucking shocked lol. I was expecting some girly night out video but it was pure J-horror. I was pretty shocked with ourselves too but happy it had an awesome PV because it is my favorite song on the EP.

P.S What happend in your nightmare? haha

KarenPang · #7 9th July 2016, 05:09 PM

When I 1st watched the ourselves PV , I was scared and I dreamt the exact same thing plot wise . It was so bad until I woke up in a cold sweat and I don't have a habit of waking up in the middle of the night so that was an exception

Ladies Night PV is interesting and yeah the ending was a bit freaky to stomach

Other dark Ayu songs I still enjoy tremendously until now include (not listed by other people yet)

- GAME
- WONDERLAND (I know it's an interlude but I had nightmares when I 1st heard it and the laughing in the background didn't helped =x)

Up to now I still think it's a waste/pity that GUILTY didn't get a PV . The concept of it would have been awesome :x

Funny thing I just listened to ever free for the first time this week haha and yes, it catched my attention from the very first moment! It will certainly become a favorite of mine. Dark songs are my favorite from Ayu's music.

lastminute · #9 9th July 2016, 08:08 PM

I'd say "reminds me" is also very dark, lyric-wise. It's also my absolute favorite track from "Party Queen".

truehappiness · #10 9th July 2016, 09:36 PM

ever free, reminds me, End of the World, criminal, kiss o' kill, Terminal, Mad World, and Breakdown IMO.

***oaristos*** · #11 9th July 2016, 11:29 PM

ever free
criminal
alterna
End of the World
GUILTY
(miss)understood

EndOfTheWorld · #12 10th July 2016, 02:48 AM

I would agree with everyone else on the song choices.

I absolutely love ever free.

One of my all time favorites. I find it so beautiful, sad, and dark. So much feeling in this track. I love the version found on the SEASONS single, HAL's mix 2000.

LONJJONG · #13 10th July 2016, 05:08 AM

ever free
no more words (the intro is kinda haunting...)
Duty
Don't look back
Free & Easy
Marionette
ourselves

Yes, ourselves was really scary when I first watched it on my younger days. But it has grown to be my favorite now! Alterna too.

Honey_Jae · #14 10th July 2016, 01:34 PM

Duty, Don't look back, Criminal and Mad World.

is this LOVE?! Is not a dark song but I love the PV, where everything gets broken, it's awesome and kind of dark. One of my favorite PVs and songs

pommy48 · #15 10th July 2016, 06:07 PM

POWDER SNOW for me
The song doesn't necessarily sound dark, but the lyrics definitely does

Elednist · #16 10th July 2016, 09:14 PM

Aside of those already mentioned:

Do it again
count down
monochrome
Dolls

mi|kshake · #17 10th July 2016, 10:03 PM

For me it's definitely Guilty!

NintendoHTF1242 · #18 11th July 2016, 05:33 AM

When I think of dark, GUILTY and reminds me come to mind.

Aderianu · #19 11th July 2016, 07:14 AM

Two of us "HAL's Mix"

xLuna&1LOVE · #20 11th July 2016, 09:53 AM

A lot of them are already mentioned. Her darkest songs are in my opinion:

Dolls
Duty
still alone
POWDER SNOW (the piano version on LOVEppears Disc 2 is so haunting!)
criminal
GUILTY
reminds me
