If various artists made a tribute album for Ayu...

[ShiraJemJem]

Which song and artists you think would be great to tribute for our queen.

The titled of album maybe be something like "We are Team Ayu".

For track list I'm thinking of...

No way to say (Koda Kumi) - made it to Yume no Uta style
Voyage (Mika Nakashima) - I think Mika chilled voice will be perfect for this song
Boys & Girls (AAA) - powerful and joyful dance song
Greatful Days (BoA) - cute dance song like Masayume Chasing or Brand New Beat
M (hitomi) - hitomi has rock music style so I think she suit for this song
Dearest (Miliyah Kato) - add R&B vibe to it
BLUE BIRD (Ikimonogakari) - made it to their own style
July 1st (Otsuka Ai) - happy cute song
Song 4 u (Tohoshinki) - dance song
Rule (GACKT) - cool rock
SURREAL (Tsuchiya Anna) -sassy rock

It's just for fun guys! Let's share your idea.

[Aderianu]

If various artists made a tribute album for Ayu...
they will fight for M and Seasons =) and Koda Kumi will win M, Gackt - Seasons

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Very nice topic!

I think my answers will be limited because I listen to tons of female soloists. But let's see...I'll pick the songs first.

A Song for XX - Chihiro Onitsuka
Boys & Girls - BoA
SURREAL - AI
SEASONS - Koda Kumi
M - Crystal Kay
evolution - BENI
Dearest - Thelma Aoyama
Independent - JASMINE
Moments - Yuna Ito
my name's WOMEN - Namie Amuro + Koda Kumi Duet
STEP you - Namie Amuro
HEAVEN - Miliyah Kato
WARNING - Koda Kumi
Who... - Utada Hikaru

[DevilsClap]

^ I like your tracklist! nice to see BENI there too

I think Kumi could go with almost any song, since both ballads as well as upbeat tracks work for her
so it would be hard to choose.

[ShiraJemJem]

What if Namie cover Fly High and make it sounds like In The Spotlight (TOKYO).

[Honey_Jae]

That's a nice idea - maybe it will happen one day.

I would like to hear Gackt with Microphone and Koda Kumi with Still Alone. BoA should sing Duty

[mizuki-7]

I assume if she had one it would be mostly the same artists that covered TRF, globe and every avex related cover albums ! Maybe some singers fan of Ayu like Kato Miliyah but I really don't imagine Mika Nakashima, Ikimono Gakari, Namie Amuro, Chihiro Onitsuka or even Utada paid tribute to her lol

[Elednist]

I would do a double album

1 A Song for xx - Chihiro Onitsuka
2 Boys & Girls - Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
3 WHATEVER - globe
4 SEASONS - ayaka
5 SURREAL - Mika Nakashima
6 M - Every Little Thing
7 evolution - Perfume
8 Dearest - Do As Infinity
9 Free & Easy - T.M.Revolution
10 No way to say - MISIA
11 Moments - Mai Kuraki
12 STEP you - Namie Amuro

1 fairyland - BoA
2 HEAVEN - RURUTIA
3 BLUE BIRD - AAA
4 Mirrorcle World - Koda Kumi
5 Rule - GACKT
6 Sparkle - Girls' Generation
7 Microphone - L'Arc~en~Ciel
8 Love song - Utada Hikaru
9 BRILLANTE - ALI PROJECT
10 Song 4 u - Tohoshinki
11 Terminal - capsule
12 Last minute - Kalafina

[AyuWorld]

I woudlnt surpise for Kuu to cover M, she seems like a huge fan of M haha

Namie to cover Step You is nice too, like the DJ Taki Shit version remix, so I can see Namie dancing to it *_*

[ShiraJemJem]

Nice idea everyone! ^^

Amazing tracklist

[Bigtop]

^^ Yeah, but I don't know if YUI or Angela Aki will sing anymore (especially when they have children to take care of), and even then, I'm not sure if any artists will decline the offer to do so, but then again, this is a "what if" thread...

[Miduhyo]

Angela Aki would rock Love~Destiny~. I'd love to see how'd she put in her own spin with her piano skills into that song. It'd be amazing.
...
I need this in my life now. :|

(Gosh, I love almost all these tracklists. Now, I'm kinda hoping we actually do get a cover album someday for her.)

[ShiraJemJem]

^
I sure we will get it one day. ^^

I have more idea. Hitomi Shimatani cover INSPIRE by adding Japanese sound to it. XD

[Minttulatte]

Kuu would turn No way to say into a soulful R&B track or something like her Chiisa na Koi no Uta cover she did for her first cover album ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~ (2010).

When it comes to Kuu altogether, she could cover songs like LOVE ~Destiny~, Fly high, Duty, Boys & Girls, Humming 7/4, Days, independent, Beautiful Fighters, Real me, July 1st, LOVE'n'HATE, Lady Dynamite, Sexy little things and how beautiful you are in a Kuu badassery so well that people would be shocked probably lol. Kuu has a talent of shocking people after all.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

The only artists I want are the least likely, though I don't object to anyone else doing some covers. Utada Hikaru is the main singer I would really hope to see on there, but my dreams to hear the GazettE do an Ayu song is one I have very little hope in. XD

[ShiraJemJem]

I can imagine Hikki cover Free & Easy and make it epic like Passion.

[Miku]

My dream Ayu-tribute album would be...

1. LOVE ~Destiny~ (Nana Mizuki & T.M.Revolution)
2. BLUE BIRD (Hitomi Shimatani)
3. from your letter (Gackt)
4. Endless Sorrow (Koda Kumi)
5. Party Queen (Ami Suzuki)
6. Dream ON (Okui Masami & Megumi Hayashibara)
7. YOU (Utada Hikaru)
8. About you (HYDE)
9. MOON (BoA)
10. HONEY (Ai Otsuka)
11. RAINBOW (Mika Nakashima)
12. everywhere nowhere (Hitomi Yaida)
13. SEASONS (Namie Amuro)
14. Dolls (Kanon Wakeshima)
15. fairyland (Shoko Nakagawa)

[relmy]

Ai Otsuka covering HONEY would be better than the original if she slowed it down and did it in her more acoustic style. <3

hitomi doing M would be great, but there are so many Ayu songs that would be amazing covered by hitomi. hitomi doing something like Daybreak could be amazing too. Kuu should do STEP you or Ladies Night.
