Your top 5 Ayumi Hamasaki Remixes

[Syphex]

What would you, personally rate as your top five official ayu remixes? It can be from any album--her trance, her eurobeat, or even just her plain mixes found on singles. Try to refrain from using overdone remixes. I'm talking about M (Above & beyond); Naturally (Wippenberg Mix); HANABI (Lange Mix), etcetera, etcetera... you know..the really popular remixes that everyone knows about. I kinda made this thread so I could be introduced to more of her songs..
(Oh, and it doesn't have to be 5 of them, but just dont exceed 5. I dont think it would be your "Top 5 Mixes" if you listed every remix as your favorite.)

aanndd....


GGGOOOOOO


1) end roll (H/\L's MIX) - This is a great dance mix with some hip-hop beats thrown in. Now, I dislike hip-hop, but this mix was awesome. Check it out.
2) poker face (Spiritual Guidance) - AWESOME!! one of the few mixes superior to the original. Introduces a lot of new instruments that simply add to the song.
3) Who.. (Blue Obsession Mix) - While the beats added in may be too loud, I thought it made the song deeper. Plus, the first interlude (Where the instruments have thier little solo the first time) should have been in the original. A nice take.
4) SEASONS (D-Z BLUE SUNBEAM MIX) - EXCELLENT!! This is stuff of legends. Such a great twist on a great song. I love this mix; it still retains the sorrowful feel but adds a whole multitude of trance-ish beats. Again, check this one out!

hmm...I don't really have a 5th one, but if I ever listen to another great remix i'll be sure to add it.

1) Trust (A Eurobeat Mix)
2) Real me (A Eurobeat Mix)
3) Ayu-ro Super Mega Mix
4) Depend on you (Svenson & Gielen Remix)
5) appears (Armin van Buuren remix)

EDIT: As you can see, I'm a big Trance/House/Eurobeat fan, but I agree with Taishaku...Two of us ~HAL's mix~ has such emotion that it has to be here as a ~BONUS TRACK~ XD. Consider it my hidden track after appears.

SURREAL (Sample Madness Mix) - my first mix of ayu I've ever heard.

SEASONS (H-H Remix) - OMG I could play this non-stop

I am... (night clubbers mix) - A really good club feeling

I am... (Huge Fairy tAle Mix) - I wanna call this a remix ballad I guess

opening run (JK's extended remix) - lol I always loved the original, but hearing an extended version makes it all beter

[Annabelle]

1- M (Nicely Nice Winter Parade Mix): Awesome happy-go-lucky mix of M. It made me like the song even more.
2- HANABI ~episode II~ (H/\L's 2003 Mix): It's even better than the original and it has a mysterious feel.
3- Trauma (Heavy Shuffle Mix): It's Trauma, one of my Ayu favourites remixed beautifully. Enough said.
4- LOVE ~Destiny~ (Todd's lovers conversation): Awesome duet between a rapper and Ayu. And I don't even like urban music. Very original and unique in Ayu's whole discography.
5- from your letter (Pandart Sasanooha mix): Perhaps the most underrated Ayu song ever, remixed nicely. It makes you like the song if you dislike it IMO.
