Ayumi ~ The Anything Goes Thread 3~

[Jawdarna]

It's not really force you guys; it just disappoints me when I'm not positive over a song released by one of my favourite artists. Y'know, you get all excited, and then...

I've only listened to Tell All a few times too. There's just nothing pulling me back.

I'm mainly disappointed 'cause its the first fierce song in ages, and I'm just not feeling it. XD

Tbh ayu's new music is making me love her old stuff even more than ever before.... Even party queen.

Or maybe it's that I don't want to spend time trying to like tell all...

^ There's something in her old music. It's like MSG in music form or something.

I think because most of them have that climatic shift. All the last few minutes of her older songs really lift it; instrumentals particularly just seemed far more epic back then. It's something I feel Tell All really missed with its bridge, and numerous other songs (i.e. Song 4 u) have missed in these past few years.

Not that that makes a song, but I think it really contributes to why everybody thinks her older music is so epic. XD

I love that. MSG in music form. haha! I kind of agree. There was just something about her music back then. I was listening to the Loveppears album today and was trying to imagine if any of those songs had been released today would we still love them as much? Or was it the hype that surrounded them?

EDIT:
I NEVER know ayu had performed Close to you! I thought she never touched the song

Quick. Educate them about her and create more fans!

[mizuki-7]

XD How old are they ?

[mizuki-7]

They are too young maybe ? when I was 5/6 years I didn't knew who was Madonna XD When they will grew up they will know who is Ayu ^^They probably know singers like Kana Nishino or kyary pamyu pamyu, AKb48 and a lot more who are much more young and popular now !

[TeamAyu2004]

they are in JHS... they are in their teens... they should know who the woman is! lol...
I plan to educate them! LOL... i have them all year!

[mizuki-7]

O_o is it even possible ? XD Ayu has a lot of teenage fans as we can see at her concerts ! it's so strange ?? It's like an american teen who would not know which is Britney Spears XD

Is this the talent contest show I've heard about where foreigners sing and compete in Japanese?

What a lovely performance! And surprisingly not exploitative. For some reason, the few times I see foreigners in Japanese shows are just really cringeworthy. Either that, or I've been watching the wrong kind of shows.

aww i really like that video!!
and The Vibrato of Doom™

[sugarbasil]

That Close to you video made me really wish it were Christmas suddenly. XD

And wooooooww! That girl singing SEASONS is amazing! And she's so pretty! XD
