Which artists should work with ayu?

[sesshy]

No one. Ayumi is the only artist I can't seem to get use being collab with..

[Heavenly]

I always wanted a collaboration between Ayu × Kumi × Namie for a cover of Lady Marmelade !

[Chibi-Chan]

I also go with GACKT!!!!

[tetsuo69]

i would like for l arc en ciel or gackt to compose music for her rock songs.

[emi♡]

eh ew no one.

Ayu...needs to not collab vocally with people.

I always wanted Eiko Shimamiya to write songs for her though, cause they'd be amazing.

I could get used to people like GACKT writing for her as well though. Her rock probably wouldn't be so cut and paste then.

I always had this vision that Ayu was up there with people like Shiina Ringo and Tokyo Jihen, or Eiko, or Supercar and Miki Furukawa...and that if they would collab and write songs for her, god it would be amazing...

But no. I could see Miu Sakamoto giving Ayu a song or two as well.

MiChi? ...lol I dont even know anymore.

[Queen Bee]

I would like to see AILI collaborate as a composer and producer for Ayu. I love the music AILI has created and if she could create a song like Run Away for Ayu I would be so happy.

[AyumiAi]

alan :3 or kokia, two beautiful voices would be an amazing ballad!

[KarenPang]

well for my case it's very obvious aka BREAKERZ but I don't know , the thought of ayumi & DAIGO singing a duet together , somehow it's a bit hard for me to visualise haha :x

[microphone]

Emiko Shiratori. super fantastic

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Even though many wouldn't like to see any collabs happening in the future, I think that's a bit... delusional? I bet she'll keep on doing them more often

So don't feel "disappointed" if she comes up with new collabs, it's just a fact of life now LOL

[y_nathz]

tbh I never really think her voice could blend with other artists nicely, though I don't really mind when she did collabs

I don't think Ayu's voice would suit Miu or MiChi's music at all. I'd be rooting for a Shiina Ringo composition though

Tbh Ayu's voice..although nice, it doesn't really go well with other voices. I guess it'd be interesting for her to do another collab with a female vocalist, but to be honest I'm not too interested in future collaborations. It does seem like she has a lot of fun doing them though, so I'm not for or against them.

Oh, and a Namie collab would work but only if done in a certain way. Namie's voice is very flexible and can fit in with a whole range of voices..as long as her and Ayu didn't actually sing together in the song it'd be okay.

[rusuke]

I think Ayu's voice would be better if she would make a duet with a voice contrast to hers.
I can't stand to listen another "ayu x keiko" duet.

[shizukanaotoko]

m-flo! they've worked with Koda Kumi, Amuro Namie, BoA, Kato Miliyah etc before but where is their collaboration with Ayu?!?!
Shiina Ringo/Tokyo Jihen
EXILE and/or CHEMISTRY - I want to hear higher quality R&B from Ayu
Matsuda Seiko
Matsutoya Yumi
Nakajima Miyuki
Madonna
Lady Gaga
Britney Spears
Mr. Children
Fukuyama Masaharu
Capsule or Perfume

And many others

GACKT and Ayu are really cute together! Not sure if their voices match but it was nice to see them do Silent Night together. By the way, why is it that they sang together? Are they good friends or was it mainly because they were both pretty popular at that time?

[rusuke]

Perhaps the latter part of what you've said. But I think they became good friends after that??

[butterfly_ayu]

I always love seeing artists collaborate with others not from their own country. It doesn't even have to be a recorded song, it can just be a performance. I hope ayu can do that someday too.

well as far as Miu, it's because she has a lot of works that like, have a kind of double personality...like they'll start off all electro and mellow, and then break out into heavy dance...

And I think that works for Ayu. I don't think Ayu's voice is pretty enough to be perfect with Miu's music....but I think a composition from her, or her team would work. They can Ayu-fy it after lol And then it wouldn't sound like Miu's music anymore as much, you know? It would just be cool lol

A monkey.

I don't know. Maybe with someone she could do a harmony with.

Yeah, if you think of the composition..I actually think Cordelia would work so well also. One of her songs just screams Real me lol

I guess some of Miu's more strong, louder stuff could work..but if they worked with Ayu they'd probably make a song with Miu's etherealness but wreck it up with the standard bass guitars

[emi♡]

^Cordelia <3

Maybe they could just make interludes for Ayu lol
