so it's like first ayu's song wins over the latest one

I knew the result from the beginning, but I am quite surprised to see which songs I decided to pick from every album

BRILLANTE is just so fantastic (for me) it has got to be one of her best songs ever. You aren't the only one BRILLANTE lasted really long for me too, and many other people. Your outcome is funny though yes, first vs last.

and yeah, my choices were shocking too, your tastes change over the years and you realize what songs you truly do love for the rest of time, there is liking them in the moment because they are new and then there are the Ayu songs that are you favorite forever. I think this "quiz" is pretty accurate (though the outcomes could be a little different if you mixed the compared songs) and I guess "technically" HANABI ~episode II~ is my favorite. Haha my last two similarity is that both have a male choir in the background, HANABI ~episode II~ and BRILLANTE were my last VS. I am sure that if we did this again in a year or two our tastes might have changed and our last song might be a different one.

I am going to try this a second time, but this time I randomly picked. I wrote down all her albums on separate pieces of paper and picked them out of a bowl

A Song for XX - A Song for XX
LOVEppears - End Roll
Duty - Duty (easy pick because I pretty much hate the rest of the album lol)
I am... - Daybreak (though I prefer the H/\L's mix)
RAINBOW - HANABI
Memorial address - HANABI ~episode II~
MY STORY - Game (but I never listen to it, what does that tell you? lol)
(miss)understood - is this LOVE?
Secret - Born to Be...
GUILTY - Decision
Next Level - Identity
Rock 'n' Roll Circus - Microphone
Love Songs - Crossroad
Five - BRILLANTE

End Roll VS Game - Game
A Song for XX VS Microphone - Microphone
RAINBOW VS HANABI ~episode II~ - HANABI ~episode II~
HANABI VS Identity - Identity
Duty VS Decision - Duty
Daybreak VS Born To Be... - (HARD) Daybreak
Is this LOVE? VS BRILLANTE - BRILLANTE

Microphone VS Daybreak - Daybreak
Game VS Crossroad - Crossroad
Duty VS BRILLANTE - BRILLANTE
HANABI ~episode II~ VS Identity - HANABI ~episode II~

Daybreak VS BRILLANTE - (OMG THIS IS SOOOOOOO HARD) Daybreak
Crossroad VS HANABI ~episode II~ - HANABI ~episode II~

Daybreak VS HANABI ~episode II~ - HANABI ~episode II~

WOW so I guess without me knowing it even with random orders I still picked the same thing, I guess HANABI ~episode II~ IS my favorite Ayu song, even though previously I would have said Daybreak

Looking at the themes I like melodic and sad songs by Ayu

I am going to make another thread like this only comparing the songs in other ways

Winner Days!!!

I am mildly surprised by this. I like how most of my vs matches songs with similar types. On another day, I would so choose MW over days, it's just that today I like days more. Actually, any contestants from R3 could win on particular days. Choosing a song from Secret took a while because Jewel, Momentum, BtB, until that day, & Not yet were serious contenders. On a final note, the hardest decision was choosing Virgin Road over Crossroads for Love Songs.

A Song for ×× VS Moments - Moments

Winner: Moments

I pretty much knew Moments was going to win. It's my favorite Ayu song, so even in the way it was paired up, it was still bound to make it to the end since I like it better than the rest. It really had me reevaluating my thoughts on some of my favorite Ayu songs though. It's still hard to see how some will hold up over time, like ourselves was by far my favorite on MA at for a few years, but it lost its touch and I realized that I prefer No way to say since it's so timeless. So I guess we'll see in a few years if something like Virgin Road will stay strong while I tire of Moments (if I do).
