I saw a clip of this performance and it honestly made me wish she would do an actual cover song. you're so right, the original packs so much emotion but ayu puts even more layers of it

On the topic of remixes, can anyone recommend some MUST LISTEN remixes? I do not have the time to go through a million remix albums and remixes found on singles so I'll just listen to what you guys like lol

^ The first ones that come to my mind are Wake me up (Remo-con rmx) from again, Far away (Alex M.O.R.P.H. Extended rmx) and poker face (Ronald Van Gelderen Extended remix) from ayu-mi-x 7 presents ayu trance 4 (the physical CD had short versions, but the digital version is the extended mix, totally makes a difference). Also Ladies night ~another night~ from BLUE BIRD. But I do need to check older remixes once again, she has loads of them.

SEASONS (D-Z BLUE SUNBEAM MIX) is an amazing one. I listen to it pretty often actually.

Dearest “depth nostalgia mix” (or something like this lol) is one of my faves.

Naturally “wippenberg remix” is great too.

Two of us “Hal’s Mix”

On another note, I got this message from Spotify. Now I know it’s hardly an achievement since Japan doesn’t seem to know Spotify, but I can’t say I wasn’t a tiny bit proud! Did anybody else get it?

Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ (Accatino-Rimonti-Festari Remix) is one of my recent favorites!

The MSTRKRFT mix of Beautiful Fighters was good too and most of what has been mentioned is great!

I feel old when I think of the time that has elapsed since PCDL is almost double the time between concert tour 2000 and PCDL.
At the time it truly felt like a lifetime between 2000 and 2008 as Ayu was so prolific and productive during that time. Or maybe that's just how time feels when you're younger.

I have been re-watching some old Ayu's MVs and correct me if i'm wrong, and i know i'm probably slow, but Rainbow basically, well at least what i see, is literally running away from yourself, maybe your past self, when you finally stop and face them, and manage to accept and forgive, that's where the love of who you are happens and you become whole and comfortable in your own skin. I would say the whole "No rain can't get the rainbow" could also apply to the you have to make mistakes and go through hardships to become the "rainbow", it led to who you are now, it grew you as a person. Also the colours that Ayu's outfits changed with. At the end she's in white before she goes into black. Almost as if she's a blank canvas ready to start something new, she's forgiven it all and accepted who she is, and then she's all in black, sitting on her own, almost like what you get when you mix all the colours in one, all the different aspects of one's person. Sort of like, you are all those colours now, all those different aspects of what makes you - YOU. She doesn't need to be a certain colour anymore, cuz she's all of them, she's whole.
It just kind of hit me now.... LOL

One of her absolute best. And an incredible ballad section. I think the ballad section is so great, it's like a highlight in jpop ballad history to me.

Her production was really on point for MY STORY. walking proud is a great example of this.

I have a lot of respect for it as a project, even though it has songs I never cared much for like Inspire and Carols
