Songs that you did not enjoy, but are now fond of?

Explicitly: You didn't like them, whether it was only for a day, a week, or years, but regardless you now enjoy them?

I'm not talking about songs that you felt were a bit 'meh' either. I mean, you would actually skip this song as soon as it popped up on your shuffle!

Recently, I've kindled a love for RED LINE ~for TA~. It's taken me years to enjoy this song. I used to consider it to be one of the least outstanding album enders. It's one of those songs that I believe has an instant (and very Ayu) hook about it, but Ayu has so many songs reminiscent of it, that I don't think I ever really let it have a chance.

crossroad is another one that has needed a few years to grow on me. Now I think it is one of the best songs on Love songs! I believe this was a casualty of Ayu's lead up to her 50th single. It was probably the most disappointing single to me, only having one A-side and then a cover. I never considered it 'strong' enough to be able to carry such an important single by its own self. Now I'm eating my own words.

In terms of shortness, Melody is one that definitely comes to mind. A few months ago, when we received those low quality previews, the first words that came into my mind regarding Melody was,

"Oh no. Not another one of these!!!!!!"
*insert beloved, Replace, call, Letter and Sweet Season*
(disclaimer: I actually enjoy most of these songs, especially Sweet Season. I just thought that she had really worn these types out ).

I was much more enthused by Song 4 u and Missing. Especially Missing. However, when the mini-album was released I instantly enjoyed Melody (this is why we can't believe previews haha). It even became my favourite off LOVE.

Moments. I thought it was very overrated, but I love the song now!
You & Me. I never did really like ayu's summersongs, except for 4 songs, but this one start to grow on me. Super catchy. I love that.

You & Me is another one for me too. I wasn't too keen on it when it was first released, but these days I don't mind it. I'm actually glad it is featured on LOVE again.

When I get asked this question; the first song that pops into my head is, "Love song."

I could just NOT stand Ayu's voice in that song. I thought the song was boring too. But it grew onto me after a lot of listens.

SURREAL is my main example.At first I didn't even really gave it a chance (I don't know why) but now it's in my top 3 Ayu songs.
I think this is an unique and fantastic song in Ayu's discography.
Evolution,Bold & Delicious,beloved etc.

monochrome, WHATEVER

these songs are very old. I've been indifferent to monochrome for about like 6 years. but when I read the lyrics, I began to listen it more and now it's one of my most favourite songs ^^

I never liked WHATEVER as well. I always found the "wow wow wow" part too annoying, but then again, I saw the lyrics and it made me love it. this was last year I think. wow, so recently

Happening Here. As it was just a digital release, I only gave it brief listen initially and didn't think a whole lot of it tbh.

But after seeing the performance at CDL 11-12, I think it's great. Love Ayumi's rapping, love Timmy's rap, love the dated sound. It's all good!

Melody / It was / November / NaNaNa / Snowy Kiss


Melody : When "LOVE" was released, I only listen from "Song 4 U" & "Missing", I usually skipped "Melody". But when the short PV was released, I instantly in love with the song~on repeat until nowww

It was : "It was" took me around 3-5 months for me to appreciate the song. When I saw the mu-mo CM with "It was -Island mix-" on TV, I was curious with the original version since the remix version was good. So I give it a try......it was AMAZING!!! I love it until now...one of my "top 5 most played" in my iPod.

November : It was a 'meh' for me at first. I usually skipped this song in "Love Songs". It happen when I was driving when I listening to "Love Songs" album. "November" was playing...I really like it on first listen...then I play it again....and again.....and again....and again....I fall in love with it...usually during November

NaNaNa : I dislike this song in "party queen" at first. Even when after I watched the PV, I still dislike the song. Urgghhh. But after a while....I started to like it...with Timmy on rap and Ayu on vocal, it's funny!! Hahahaha

Snowy Kiss : Don't like this song....until recently, when I watched CDL 2012-2013, I love how she performed the song!!! With Shuya and all.....I instantly in love with the song....listed as my "top 10 most played" in my iPod.

I usually had a handful of these off the top of my head, but for now I can only think of Bold & Delicious.

And perhaps Melody. I began to like it better once the PV previews showed up.
