This nearly drove me crazy, because it was SO MUCH harder than I expected!
"Pride" is really not what I expected, but I’m still happy with the outcome, even when it was really impossible to pick one song sometimes, because I love all these songs so much!

And my all-time favourite Ayu-song will always be "Endless sorrow", but because "I am…" only has a remix (which I don’t like very much) and "Endless sorrow" also doesn’t qualify as "other songs", I didn’t but it into the poll.

Those songs are equally precious to me, but. If I HAVE to pick one, I guess I'll go with Still alone, because it was the first song I ever heard of Ayu and I've got a tremendous amount of memories attached to it. But Rainbow is also my all time favorite.

This was fun!

The order was to give a good chart (like in tennis!). The songs that identified me in the final!, and many of my favorites in the semifinals. It was very difficult for me to choose, I took me a lot doing this. I'm soooo balladish

This was hard, on some albums I have 5 songs that tie for favourites, while on others I have one clear favourite... my semi-finals should have 2/3 songs from the same album. I'd gladly give up some albums places so I could have songs from other albums!! I feel like I need to do in-album qualifiers for some lol

This is really interesting, I couldn't tell it will come down to No way to say and Love song tbh.... I thought it would be M.... interesting indeed... No way to say is quite a generic ballad but it brings back so many memories when i used to love her so much. I still remember I watched all the live performances of this song when she wore those fur scarves in different colors.
