I think Walk is one of her most beautiful songs. I like how it progresses and we don't know exactly how the melody will turn out.

P.S.: I was listening to We are the QUEENS again after a while. I must admit this song may work a lot live, it's very energetic. What bothers me the most is this epic-sounding instrumental that sometimes seems off. It's like they pick some upbeat song from A ONE and glued some elements of Game of Thrones OST with Super Bonder.

I really like WATQ. I hope they will cut the beginning of the song. It's completely unnecessary.

I was listening to We are the queens again too.
I love every second of it. I love the arrangement, her voice, and the lyrics especially. It's going to be difficult for any of the other songs on the new "album" to top it for me, but we'll see.

Ayu's version of MOWY is the superior version.

WATQ fitted well for the game I quite like it but as the same time I think it don’t have a lot of replay value but that’s just me.

Concerning MOWY I like both! I like this kind of old R&b from Utada but I lust admit that Ayu gave to te song a second life.

A ONE is sooo bland for me as a whole...
There're just a few songs I really enjoy:
WARNING, NO FUTURE, Zutto..., TSMGO and Mowy
The rest is boring and should burn in hell ��
Especially THE Gift and that horrible Tell all remake!

For TROUBLE:
I looove WATQ and I just can't wait for the new rock track from her IG teaser ��

Nobody has brought up Sweet Scar yet? Because THAT is the best ballads. Hanabi/episode II and forgiveness are also underrated.

I haven’t even listened to We are the queens!

unpopular opinion: Secret, Sweet Scar and Shape of Love are my holy trinity, love those songs so much! her voice is really gentle and nice, so are the guitars and melodies, I have a small playlist with those 3 tracks on my phone

I never realized how great those songs go together! They are also some of my favorites. Secret especially feels so underrated.

IMO there're so many underrated older songs among fans
like Far away and too late and some from her first album...
And I also think songs like crossroad are really underrated too!

The GIFT, Story, and Walk are literally the only songs I like from A One half the time. I think the GIFT is beyond beautiful.

I think many fans love Far away and too late, but we don't talk about it a lot. Far away has such a beautiful atmosphere. I remember bringing up And then at some point because I love it, and many other fans agreed. We just don't usually talk about it.

I will say though, I've never seen love towards FRIEND II on ASFXX. I really love that song. It's one of my favs from ayu and I think it's so beautiful. I know when I was first around the forum I would see fans casually mention that ASFXX wasn't very listenable because of her voice. But I never minded it.

crossroad really grew on me within the last two years. Like I liked it then plenty. But now it's a fav. And I love its dated sound lol.

I also love Sweet Scar and Shape of Love. You should call that playlist A SOOTHING. They actually flow well together.
She has so many amazing ballads that are not really popular: Daybreak HAL's Mix, Dolls, forgiveness, BALLAD, Walk, You are the only one and the ones that I've mentioned above.
