I like next level ^^ In reality I've no problem with any album lol

ExodusUK · #82 14th February 2013, 12:36 PM

My problem with NEXT LEVEL is that Ayu got it right with the visuals but she didn't follow through with the music, she provided all the necessary "Ayu staples" that fans expect, I wish she would have been brave enough to go all the way with it but I guess it was just another issue of working on singles and then the album tracks follow and they don't necessary always work together. And songs like Energize, Identity and Love 'n' Hate are badly produced, they sound like Ayu songs arranged into a more "electro" style when she really should have been taking/making electro songs and then putting an Ayu twist on them if that makes sense.

I agree.

And then, well, personally, I wasn't happy with the tour either. I feel like she could have had big, epic performances for some of the songs that helped turn them into something great, but instead, she decided to act like a drugged up electro cheerleader the whole time.

Was just out of place for me.

^ agree with emi about AT09, so far after collecting her lives since AT05 I skipped AT09 because I dislike her in that tour. Most of her costumes are weird, her vocal is not as good, and the way she presents NL into a tour is just bad compared to how she visualized the previous albums. I dreamed of having a much epic performance of NEXT LEVEL instead we had a flying chair, good but it's a downgrade from a magic show, silver huge crucifix or a pirate ship.

The only thing I hate about NL is the cover which is just idk awful? I love the whole colorful concept thing, reminds me of Kylie Minogue's In My Arms MV but Ayu's choice of costume, pose, and things for the photoshoot just turns me off. PQ covers is bad as well especially when she shows her bum, for me that kind of image doesn't really suits her.

AT09 was the reason why I gave the album a chance, lol.
Its one of her best!

The tour probably looked cheap because she spent a lot on AT07 and (mostly) AT08...

^^What I don't like from the tour is her costumes aside from the tone down props. I always looking forward to see her costumes and AT09's are just meh :p and it also weird for me to have HOPE or PAIN transits to GREEN, it's just doesn't make sense, she forced it out imo then Days. GREEN is kinda stand alone in the set list.

^Probably, that's maybe why she bounced back in AT10. I just hope that AT12 wasn't really over the top she could spend more on this year's tour

ASfXX is far from her weakest albums
I've come to appreciate that album so much. It's so raw in every sense.

Edit= If someone has already made a video like this I'm interested^^

Thanks for the posting the vid - I really enjoyed it! I love videos like this - fave songs, videographies etc.

My random Ayu thought for the day - well actually I've thought it forever but - I wish she would cut out the chanting in songs like Boys & Girls, Evolution & Unite. I'm all for some audience participation and singing along and that but it just comes off quite cheesy and almost spoils my enjoyment of the live versions of these songs

You know what woulda been funny? If someone had created an AYU VALENTINE'S CARD thread. And posted funny valentine's regarding her personal relationships, and puns on them as well as her songs, and her troupe. I would die, lol.

All "A"s in "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY" could be substituted with Ayu's logo.

If nobody does it today, then I think it'd make a great AHS graphics contest for next year.

Jawdarna · #91 16th February 2013, 02:50 AM

I really would like Ayu to release something I desire. Really want.

With an over-the-top photoshoot, and a few exclusives, whether they be revised versions of songs or just extras on a DVD.
And maybe just a few TV appearances, and even one or two magazines. Nothing huge. What she's been doing, just brought up a notch.

I haven't felt this way since A COMPLETE. xD

TeamAyu2004 · #92 16th February 2013, 03:02 AM

its about time for a complete part 2 really.

AyuWorld · #93 16th February 2013, 07:18 PM

ok Im wondering what is she doing in LA now? because Aiko is also there,if so maybe they are filming something??

mi|kshake · #94 16th February 2013, 08:15 PM

I'd love her to realease a 1 disc best of in english - a sort of self cover album, with older songs updated.

You have me counting now, how many singles she's released since then. When was it, 2008?

I kind of wanted her to call it something like "A Collection" or something similar, instead of "Complete". Complete to me is something you'd release at the end of a successful career instead of what, to me, rather feels like the middle.

I just want more remixes. I really feel that, that one guy from Abbotchen is on to something great remix-wise, but since he's being a...thing, I hope for some official remixes that carries a similar sound.

HOW CAN YOU NOT SHARE THIS WITH ME, EVIL, EVIL MAN.

I'd pay for this. WITH REAL MONEY.

Ahhh we keep telling him to give us full remixes in HQ and he never does!! Even I would pay for them... seriously.

Surreal17 · #97 17th February 2013, 11:26 AM

great remixes!! and great video

TeamAyu2004 · #98 17th February 2013, 01:43 PM

yeah. I wish he would share, but... he is being a.... thing. about it... lol

Delicious n Bold · #99 17th February 2013, 02:54 PM

Sooooo
Why does he post them if nobody can have it?

TeamAyu2004 · #**100** 17th February 2013, 03:55 PM

its so stupid... I dont understand why someone would go through all that hard work and then NOT share it...
it would be like me or someone making 1000 cookies in a public park but then not sharing them with the people that have been waiting for them...
:*(...
he/she claims its because of copyright laws, but thats just stupid. if it was because of that then he/she shouldnt have made them in the first place!
