Since getting back into Ayu recently, I’m still backtracking to listen to a lot of the material I missed between 2009-2016, and finally I gave the Five EP a listen and WOW... I can not believe I slept on this one. I’ve played it three times through I’m in love with it so much.

I just found this performance on YouTube that I don't think I had seen before:



I'm speechless at how cute she looks here, ugh

Oh, come on. The first album I ever heard of hers is that old already?

I found out that my file with this show titled SURREAL is actually SEASONS! So if someone has SURREAL in good quality please share





is it lyrics on screen?

I now that the month isn't over yet but I think I can name my "Ayu Song For The Month" and it is... Dolls. It just fits my current mood so well. It's not the lyrics that fits but the whole song. To me this song has a special atmosphere that I connect to my love for watching the night sky and hope to see more of the nothern lights on the cold winter nights we currently have here. I would also say that the future breeze Remix also kinda fits in this situation

But all of those are for the Premium Music option from youtube. Seems to be something they wanna push for 2019.

There is a serious issue that needs to be point out in the world of YouTube. I'm quoting above from the Koda Kumi thread, but this is affecting not just Kuu, but also Ayu as well.

There's something called YouTube Music Premium, which just recently rolled out to Japan, and this is now causing 'geoblock' or 'paywall' issues on J-pop music videos, especially 'full versions' of it. This could be very serious in the long run, and this could affect not just Avex - but other labels around Japan, especially big ones like Sony or Universal...

Polsy (YouTube region checker) technically says it's geoblocked outside of Japan, but I'm speculating this is a geoblock-paywall...

Yes! Five is a good album. I love all of the songs on here, especially Why..., BRILLANTE, and Beloved.

Side note: I accidentally typed that Five is a good "dinner" instead of album at 1st. LOL I need to get food off the brain.

She looks so tired to me in all her old performances now. Not surprising with how much she was doing, but her more relaxed schedule now shows in her skin/face etc...

[Karori]

Now I finally have MY STORY and I'm in love with it. So many great songs! About You, GAME, my name's WOMEN, Liar... Listening to it without skipping any track makes me appreciate every single song of it...

[jiarongisme]

MY STORY is still the best Ayu album to me.

[cosmicfirefly]

I love listening to MY STORY from beginning to end, the songs have such a whimsical (I dont know how to describe it) quality to them, it all flows so well and the interludes are some of her best imo.

[Teppei-chan]

I think I might be one of the few people that find MY STORY kind of overrated. Don't get me wrong the songs are not bad and I love möst of them but everytime I try and listening to the whole album it starts to get Boeing after the first 5-6 songs. So most of the time I only listen to individual Songs whenever I feel like it.

[indigochild]

I don't know why, but I can't help but feel like Ayu's home is tacky af with gaudy furniture I really want to see her interior to see if I'm right lol

Same. It's exhaisting to listen to it in full.

[Gustavopc]

I had the same problem with Love songs in the beginning, but I grew to like it that way. But that didn't happen with MY STORY The album as a whole just doesn't click for me unfortunately

I think there are some pictures of her house floating around... It's not that tacky, but the decoration is a little narcisistic.

you can find some little pieces of her interior here. Behind a lot of dogs.



those birthday photos took at ayu's home


as for bedroom, at american house it were simple and clean

[mi|kshake]

Yeah, I enjoy My Story but do find it a bit overrated. However all this My Story chat has me all nostalgic. Think I need to listen to it soon!

[Evan Odinson]

I wonder if someone would like to translate the Ayu manga "miracle passion", is only in japanese out there, I have good pictures of the whole manga thanks to a twitter user but my japanese is far from being decent, I could do the cleaning and edit the pictures to make them look like scans (or if someone has scans even better lol)
