I really love "Angel's Song" and "Greatful days". I know they sound "old" but they have a vibe I love and have become some of my favorite songs by Ayu!

I just randomly realized that "LOVE again" is (except of "I am...") the only studio album without covers in which Ayu directly looks into the camera

May J. will be covering M for her new album「Heisei Love Song Covers supported by DAM」

https://www.may-j.com/news/detail.ph...Qh9XGNijDfEhRg

It doesn't mention names but I guess it's Ayu's because the heisei era started on 1989, and PRINCESS PRINCESS' M was released on 1988.

Today I've had an And Then marathon and I was quite surprised by its unusual structure, which I never really paid much attention to. Instead of the usual verses - prechorus - chorus - verses - prechorus - chorus - bridge - chorus structure we have verses - prechorus - instr. break - verses - prechorus - chorus - instr. break - prechorus - chorus. I don't know why, but I've always felt like this song doesn't really have a chorus, even if it does. To me it comes across more like a bridge than a proper chorus which is really cool.

Ohhh awesome
I don’t love May J’s voice but I’m interested to hear what she does with it

Honestly I truly want an Ayu tribute album

I’m kind of irked that she didn’t release one for her 20th ani
If anything she’d be in the news for a positive reason, and I’m sure if she got the right artists, people would be talking about it (although with Ayu’s track record, she’d just have Urata Naoya 7 times and then maybe TRF and DJ Ozma or something lol)

Me too...it's a really weird time in her career atm. I hope she celebrates her '21st' anni with a project or two unrelated to touring.

Ayu's influence was recently discussed on The Straits Times podcast called Pop Vultures. If you don't want to listen to the whole thing you can skip ahead to about the 22 minute mark.
ST Podcast: Arashi, J-pop and its influence on Asian entertainment
Spoiler:
Synopsis: A podcast by The Straits Times that examines all the ins and outs of pop culture, be it Asian entertainment or Hollywood.

Find out how J-pop first influenced Asian music.

J-pop boyband Arashi announced in January that they will be going on an indefinite hiatus at the end of 2020. The 20-year-old boyband's announcement became worldwide trending news even in an era where J-pop has faded in popularity globally.

In this podcast, Pop Vultures Jan Lee and Yeo Sam Jo invite a special guest - fellow ST journalist and J-pop fan Cheryl Teh - to talk about Arashi, their impending hiatus and the enduring influence of Japanese boybands and J-pop (Ayumi Hamasaki! Namie Amuro! Utada Hikaru! Shonentai!) on the entire Asian music industry.
