ASFXX as a whole needs rearrangements badly. It's the only album imo that lacks the ~Ayu sound~ she had from LOVEppears onward.

Yes I think this remix needs to be heard by ayu. I wanted to have someone send her a copy along with the A WORLD IS ONE book.

Performance of this fan remix please and also ladies night another night.

Ayu has a lot of easy going songs. That's generally what I listen to when strolling the city.

If a fanbook is made, we should include a whole CD with the best fanmade remixes. Maybe it will open her eyes about her... underrated songs ^^

It's hard to even identitfy A Song for xx's songs music style/directon. I mean what is poker face? Pop maybe but not what you would hear anywhere (in the US) and even if it sounds old it doesn't really sound like old pop too so the style was really wierd to be desctibed, or more unique? But then ayu's style really changed. But it was great that A Song for xx had a unique sound, since it's like wasn't heard before. from your letter had a R&Bish arrangement, though ayu didn't sing it like a R&B song. Same for Two of us but I always liked the former better, but I don't usually listen to them. It's pretty chilling

I must agree that its the arrangement that makes From your letter almost unheard/underrated. But yeah i kinda get it why. Most of us are used to her grand arrangements but i must admit From your letter's simplicity is what made me love its. IMO its more of a easy going pop song u'd want to hear when you just want to relax with a cup of coffee on a rainy sunday afternoon.

Agree so much on this,
For me so far it's kind of troubling to find Ayu's song that have an easy going arrangement, something that is not so heavy on the ears. But Merry-go-round is easy

Wow that remix was insanely well done.

Does anyone have links to other fan-made remixes that they like? That are available on YouTube of course I'm too lazy to download :B

Seriously, we should send Ayu a CD every year with the AHS Remix Contest and more, 'cause they're always good stuff with some true masterpiece.
Sometimes I'm just amazed by the talent of fans... like, why the hell aren't they doing this for a job??

I used to think that From Your Letter was her worst song as well but it sort of seeps into your consciousness and before you know it the song is like an old friend.

Aw man, that'd be fantastic!

Xelakad's "Will" and "Two of us" remixes belong there too, and DJ Amaya's remix of Dream ON, and basically like half of jigglypuff/Chris's remixes XD

It has always been one of my favorite songs from Ayu. I wish there was more songs like this in her discography because the arrangement alone sounds awesome. :3 Lyrics are lovely as well~

It's cute alright, and it deserves more love than it has. She needs to sing this live.
I do love this song, just from a distance I guess... I do believe/hope that when Ayu first wrote this it was a big thing, like her song Present.

I wish her songs from ASFXX were performed more, or that we had more insight into them.

I actually really like ASFXX and would love if she did updated versions of them to give them fuller arrangements. Lyrically they're not bad, and I think they all have great melodies.

This is the kind of song that I hate so much when I think of it, but feel OK when I actually listen to it.
