Did you ever get bored from your favourite Ayu songs?

[Namie♡TOP SECRET]

Ayu was my ULTIMATE fav, yet now Kuu's taken over cos of 'JUICY', 'Ima sugu hoshii' & 'SHAKE IT' PVs.

[rakeru]

i purposely don't listen to my favorite songs very much so i will never get tired of them.

[yuki_unmei]

yea i get tired of some songs sometimes, but Ayu has so many songs that there's plenty to listen to until i feel like listening to my favorites again

[emi♡]

Yes, but because I listened to them to death for like 2 years lol

I still love them, and listening to them makes me feel nostalgic...but I'd rather listen to something else atm.

LOL. Impact, only you would think of that. I'll have to look that up, though. It sounds really interesting.

It's happened to me a few times. About two years ago Ayu was pretty much my life force (in the sense that I was going through an extremely difficult time and listening to her was what was keeping me going), and I ONLY listened to her. I think by the time GUILTY came out I was so sick of her. I still loved her, but the spark was gone. So I started listening to other artists more. I still love her and listen to her a lot more than during that "down" period (and in fact, I've had a few bouts of listening to new favorite songs of hers on repeat for weeks), but it's never been the same as two years ago.

[neuteka]

She comes and goes... I listen to at least one song from her every day, but sometimes she's just like meh, and sometimes I am super in love with her songs. Today is a day that I'm in love~ even though I get bored of her sometimes, I think she will remain my favorite singer for awhile.

Yeah, all the time. It happens with plenty of other Japanese artists and other, non-Asia musical groups. Sometimes I switch from Japanese music to English. One of the main reasons for my deep dive into Ayu's works.

But yeah, right now I'm back to Japanese music again - mainly Ayu. But I've gotten sick of some favorites, and some I just don't like anymore - Real me, Because of You, About You. But the main song I'm tired of - which I know I'll go back to - is Boys & Girls. @_@ It's just kinda...meh. Hard to explain (as always).

[Crystal_Ageha]

^ Is there anybody that isn't sick of Boys & Girls by now? XD But you know, I have recently found a new love for that song, actually. It was never one of my favourites, but listening to it the other day....it really does sound refreshing, the original, after hearing so MANY remixes of it, combined with how tiring it gets to hear Ayu screaming it live, lol...

It's funny, so many of the songs people listed (Real me, 1 LOVE, Trauma, etc.) were also at one point some of my favourites, but hearing them too much completely wore me down on them, I guess. I have yet to fully like them again. Maybe there are just certain songs that people can easily get sick of? And still others, that are easy to want to forget about after a certain period of listening to them? Sucks. >_<'

[Chibi_Venus]

It's happened to me before, but not that much. I believe it's just a phase that I go through of not being in the mood to listen to Ayu's music. I never really went through a stage of not liking her. I just would be in the mood for something else.

[Picaflor 7/4]

Yeah. If I listen to something too much. Is this love?
One of the first ayumi songs I ever heard. and now I don't like it. I listened to that song so many times, that I literally got sick of it. I don't like it any more. Haven't heard it in years.

Same thing happened with utada's "flavor of life". Damn did I love that song. I played it so much I just after a while had to stop listening.

[pommy48]

I've been skipping most ayu songs in my ipod...so guess i am tired of her...but i still listen to some songs~

[nanakopy87]

hmm,i thought i'm the only one feel tired with her songs...i've stop listening for 1 week ...was listening to SPEED-SPEEDLAND
but ayu is still my favourite FEMAL artiste...
everyone need to rest....even student need school holidays and working adults need to take their annual leaves

[AyUta]

definitely x_x

But with Ayumi, unlike other artists, I usually love the song I was completely sick of within a few weeks of taking a break from it, hah. So it's all good.

Well, not with me and Kuu. I used to love talkin' 2 myself, but I don't like it anymore.

Yeah, this happens to me all the time too. I can't stay away from my fav Ayu songs for too long.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

yeah~ right now i'm boring with these:
Dearest, Surreal, Free & Easy, RAINBOW, INspire

That happened to me after my music-listening back in '06. XD (haha, I sound like I'm recalling something from decades ago XD) I was really into Lindsay Lohan music, music from Grey's Anatomy (back then I loved any song they played), and I just listened to the songs hundreds of times (literally - my play count was so high it was scary O_O) and they just fizzled out. Listening to them now reminds me of that year, and it wasn't a great year anyhow. =T

I've learned to play favorites in moderation now. XDD

[Midori-chan]

Mhm, no, not really.

I LOVE to listen to all of Ayu's songs, but it happens sometimes that I find a different song by another artists and then I would listen to this one for days, then skip back to Ayu or some other singer, but not because I'm bored, only because I found another great song.

I don't think, that I could ever get bored by one of Ayu's songs (or by songs from other artists I love and adore!!)!

I wish you could research this, that sounds so interesting

I agree with you all people, i get bored with HEAVEN (D: OMG my favourite ayu song EVER) but now i only listen to it 2 or 3 times a week so I could enjoy it every time.

I think it's a good idea to change the songs once a week or a month. When i'm with my MP3 player and a song is finishing i'm playing the first seconds of the next song in my mind LOL so changing the order and putting in & off some songs would be a good idea to not get bored.
