Ayu - Anything Goes Thread -XI-

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

The speed of Snowy kiss is what draws me to it haha.

[Delicious n Bold]

I liked the bass of snowy kiss and it kinda felt dramatic/epic. Also the lyrics quite matched the tone of the song. One of ayuma's best in years. I remember when again came out and ayu just shaved me bald. It was hit after hit. There was no stopping her reign.

^I actually disagree. I thought so when we got previews, but after hearing the song in full about twice, I find that it stands perfectly well on its own. There are small similarities, but not nearly as bad as we thought at first. I find TSMGO to be far superior.

Forgive me, I am old, and they both sound similar to me

[Faiza]

damn, watching all those old panasonic CM's is making me pine for my childhood lol. Those were the days!

[Heavenly]

I adore snowy kiss, just because of the intrumental.
Give a try to the official instrumental from the single.... uhh Mini-Album sorry, and you can feel the epicnes, especially during the verses

[LONJJONG]

Meanwhile in Singapore...

[attractive nausea]

Sexual references??? Where??? lmao

[jiarongisme]

I'm guessing the WARNING PV.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

It's definitely rated NC-16 for A Bell. I mean, that song is just filled with profanities and sexual innuendos.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

It would be awesome if Microphone had an acoustic Orchestra version. I imagine GAME-like epicness.

ummm, heck yes. That would be amazing. There are quite a few songs of hers that could have totally been great for acoustic orchestra. I would've liked one of connected and terminal.

I just remembered when //ABEST suggested that there should be an orchestrated version of Last Angel. I would just love that, and one of Sweet Scar and Sweet Season.

edit: speaking of orchestrated mixes, I mentioned earlier how I really like the orchestrated versions on the A Song for xx album. I realized while listening to YOU why I enjoy them so much. I feel as if there is no corniness in the melodies or compositions, instead they feel really sincere and sentimental to me. Especially the one of YOU. I just wish they had an orchestrated version of "from your letter."

[jiarongisme]

A Classical ROCK
A ROCK ~Acoustic Orchestra~

Sounds like a freaking amazing idea tbh.

[Surreal17]

Can.t wait for tomorrow.s set list!! Hoping for nice surprises.

Now I'm going to really scratch my heads why this happens... Then again, isn't there a "19" classification in Korea as well?

Back to Singapore a bit...is there any translators that can decipher foreign language text into Singapore's Chinese and English languages before determining the rating for each album released there...?

[LONJJONG]

^ As far as I concerned, the media classification in Singapore gives rating for visual materials not audio materials. (Correct me if I'm wrong though!) And yeah, the rating might refer to WARNING PV...

[Ashen Twilight]

So Music Station had a "Top Summer Song Countdown" special a few days ago and had the audacity to not even include one Ayu song on the list. She has a summer best album for crying out loud!!!! Kuu's Koi no Tsubomi wasn't even included!! Here is this bs list...

AKB48 has three songs, Arashi has two. What a joke. I can respect Southern All Stars (who have seven) but this is atrocious.

Gosh...have the Japanese really lost interest in Ayu??? Seriously!!!

Anyways, back to this topic for a bit:

This makes me want to go back a bit: what was the ratings for Party Queen (March 2012) in Singapore? Same rating, suitably fitting the controversial cover?

And what about Rock'n'Roll Circus (April 2010, especially with the 'Lady Dynamite' song's music video that sparked a bit of controversy)?
