Oh dip, this is a fun thread!

A Song for ××: poker face
LOVEppears: Fly high
Duty: SURREAL
I am...: no more words
RAINBOW: July 1st
Memorial address: forgiveness
MY STORY: CAROLS
(miss)understood: fairyland (but there's like five runners-up)
Secret: JEWEL
NEXT LEVEL: GREEN (super tough call)
Rock n Roll Circus: You were...

Have still been catching up to a lot of the recent works though, and while I've heard them all several times and have been enjoying them a lot (some have become big favs), I have a lot of trouble picking favourites at present (for most of the other albums I've had years, after all!). (Also, I could so easily pick secondary favourites for every album, damn, and third and fourth....) I'll leave the other ones open for now because it's just too difficult. To be continued!

Yet to pick for:

GUILTY:
Love songs:
FIVE:
Party Queen:
LOVE again:
Colours:
A ONE
sixxxxxx:
M(A)DE IN JAPAN:

this is hard since it's been awhile since I listened to her albums completely.. It's interesting to how taste changes through the years. When I was an all-in ayu-stan Last angel just to be my bop but now it didn't make it into the list! It still have very special place in my heart tho and forever will. Same with Missing, Merry-go-round and Lelio

A Song for ×× - A Song for ××
LOVEppears - monochrome
Duty - SURREAL
I am... - Connected
RAINBOW - Real me
Memorial address - Memorial address -take 2-
MY STORY - my name's WOMEN
(miss)understood - fairyland
Secret - momentum
GUILTY - talkin' 2 myself
NEXT LEVEL - rollin'
Rock'n'Roll Circus - Don't look back
Love songs - Love song
FIVE - ANother song feat. URATA NAOYA
Party Queen - I don't any kind of "favourite" from this one, NaNaNa?
LOVE again - Song 4 U
Colous - Terminal
A ONE - Last minute
sixxxxxx - Sayonana feat. SpeXial
M(A)DE IN JAPAN - Survivor

I don't remember any of the songs from TROUBLE so I leave it without any thought. Were there W and æternal, maybe WORDS and We are the queens? I just don't remember them at all!

A Song for xx - A Song for xx (tough choice, whole album is incredible)
LOVEppears - Who... (it just touches me)
Duty - Duty (It's so dark when it opens)
I am... - evolution (an obvious classic - Endless SOrrow is my fav song ever, but I much prefer it's original compostion)
RAINBOW - HANABI (Always loved it)
Memorial address - Memorial address -take 2 version (a surprisingly easy pick from a genuinely great album )
MY STORY - HOPE or PAIN (was a tough choice... this album never really stood out as much to me)
(miss)understood - Pride (always felt this song deserves more recognition)
Secret - Born To Be... (it's a belter)
GUILTY - MY ALL (It's a hug in song form)
NEXT LEVEL - Sparkle (it was a close call with Rule)
Rock'n'Roll Circus - Sexy little things (this is where I discovered I like some of the weirder side of Ayu's song choice )
Love songs - Love song (flawless)
FIVE - BRILLANTE (just EPIC)
Party Queen - the next LOVE (as with Sexy little things, I like how different it is)
LOVE again - Sweet scar (always thought this was a gem in the mud of LOVE again)
Colours - Feel the love (a solid opener to a somewhat disappointing album)
A ONE - Last minute (was a little surprised to see her drop one of her best songs this late in her career)
sixxxxxx - Sorrows (a typical Ayu song, starts quiet, builds to something bigger... I like what I like)
M(A)DE IN JAPAN - FLOWER (Tough call between this and Mad World)
TROUBLE - The way I am (it's a pretty safe song, but I like it)

This top would've probably been different a few years ago...

A Song for xx: just has to be A Song for xx (As if... is a close second though!)
LOVEppears: Who...
Duty: Duty (I love SURREAL but I always enjoy the live version more than the album track)
I am...: evolution
RAINBOW: July 1st / Voyage - can't pick between the two!
Memorial address: Because of You
MY STORY:
(miss)understood: HEAVEN / is this LOVE?
Secret: kiss o' kill / Startin' / BLUE BIRD (the choice is too hard...)
GUILTY: Marionette
NEXT LEVEL: Days
Rock'n'Roll Circus: Don't look back
Love songs: Love Song / MOON
FIVE: progress
Party Queen: Tell me why
LOVE again: Ivy
Colours: NOW & 4EVA
A ONE: Last minute
sixxxxxx: Sorrows
M(A)DE IN JAPAN: FLOWER / TODAY
TROUBLE: aeternal

And I feel like Mirrorcle World needs a special mention there since it's not on any album

@bulmasman: I love that you added motivations for each track, when I expand my own I will add those too! While Pride was not my pick off (miss)understood, I share your love for it. Its only problem is the competition it has from the rest of this fantastic album

@Lyssayu: good point! Perhaps an added 'album' could be best non-album single pick? I would definitely go with Mirrorcle World too, though ever free (while not the main track off the single) bears mentioning too.

@Insanes: I love your gutsy pick for RAINBOW Good call!

Agree. In my opinion the song is one of her best ever, and the song + video is the best audio/visual combo she ever did (and that is saying something when she has so many fantastic songs and videos).
