Nope, at least not active. There is an account here at AHS with his usal Username that wasn´t online since 2007. I just asked him if that´s his account and he was like "uhmmm I don´t remember" xD
He is not rly active on Ayu News an such because I do all this stuff and tell him anyways^^

He would bitch about Ayu to his friends and if they ever came over they would laugh at the posters I had up in my room, one even called her an ugly slut and they all laughed about it.

I'm happy to see other people can share their love of Ayu with their partners/friends though. And thank you for sharing your story Zeke.

I'd have put their asses oh their places tbh

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can help me. I'll be going to Japan for a year in September and plan on going to CDL 2016-2017 (assuming there is one), and any other concerts this year if they are after September. So my question is, by what date would it be necessary to join TA? As I would like to enter into the ticket lotteries for when I'm in Japan but I'm saving for the year abroad and haven't got money to spend on it at the moment... Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[~angel*ayumi~]

They usally anounce the last date of joining for entering the ticket lotterie.

Back when, Liar was like...my favorite Ayu song. I would listen to it over and over again and then something hit me and I thought it was lame.

And now that I finally own My Story, I love it again. I just love the lyrics and her voice. Another more mellow rock-influenced song of hers that I adore is It Was. Those two songs would be great live, though I know the chances of that are pretty slim...>.>

Liar is seriously so good. I never get tired of it. I like It Was a lot too.

[chocopockymaster]

I LOVE Liar. love love love, they will pry it from my cold dead hands, etc

Yeah. Not cool. The first time my ex made fun of Ayu (he said she sounded like a deaf person trying to sing), I didn't even think twice before giving a blank stare and telling him our relationship would be over if he ever did that again. And he didn't.

If A BEST 3 is happening, and if my calculations are correct, Ayu has to pick about 16/32 songs (depending on whether we get 1CD or 2CD - maybe even 3CD?) out of 134 songs (Secret - Sixxxxxx, and this count doesn't include Winter Diary, Dream ON, SEVEN DAYS WAR, etc.).

I know we'll primarily be getting single/PV given tracks, but I do wonder what she will choose overall, and which albums will be more present.

[Aderianu]

maybe into A BEST 3 she'll include songs released after latest best compilation - A SUMMER BEST

vogue is really awesome and totally different sounding than anything I've really come across from ayu. Ughh she always writes such beautiful lyrics.

I'm in love with SCAR right now. Once it comes up on by chance, I have to keep it on repeat. The song is gorgeous.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^I'm playing the Duty album and SCAR is on right now.

[Ryusei]

Speaking of DUTY i love her laugh at the beginning of girlish

[280301]

^ +1. Love girlish!

[SayukiChoco]

I love SCAR! I realized some time ago that I have never really listened to monochrome before. Then it got all this praise from AHS and I finally listened to it. Now I'm playing it over and over again

[Ryusei]

that thing at the end of monochrome with that door closing and somebody stopping the song is so intriguing to me idk why it adds this mystery to it, and ofc the song is awesome haha I agree on that

I agree! I especially fell in love with the song when people on the forum pointed this out in combination with the last line she sings!
Ayu says "Because I'm so strong" and the door closes, someone says "yeah right". That voice that puts her down when she tries to make herself feel better, it's such a small detail but it can put the song in a different perspective.

[280301]

^ My own analysis was that the premise was that she had sent the song to her ex-boyfriend/lover on a disc, and he had listened to her words and cut them off having heard enough, muttering 'yeah right' and never listening to it again, as in she was telling the truth about her feelings but he didn't think so as they obviously didn't translate into actions and he wouldn't be waiting for her because of that.

It really is a self-depreciating track. She was harsh on herself, young Ayu.
