^Wow you haven't visited ayu for a long time. Tongue

Ayu's good. Can't explain it, her music has always just been at high quality be it rock, pop, ballad, whatever.

It's lucky for you that you like her GUILTY album, I think. Older fans were turned off by it. I personally thought it was really good. My other favorite album is I Am... Giggle

On her upcoming single, I am way way psyched. I've been loving the ringtones for GREEN and the pics of the PV making have got my hopes up ^_^ I really hope the covers are nice.

Call me crazy or what you will Laughing But I love all of Ayu's stuff <3 Been a fan for a long time Smile And I've never been disappointed once. I still get giddy Giggle around each new release just as I did so long ago Boogie

Looking forward to GREEN Love Love Love Seems far away Embarassed I'm probably just impatient Laughing

Yea GREEN isn't out till mid December. I have no idea what to expect, still too early but I can't wait. to hear it.

I think I got into Ayumi back when Evolution came out. That was way back. It was a combination of her and Hikaru that got me into J-pop in the first place.

Ayu has some fantastic old school stuff. I don't mind her new stuff. Not a huge fan of the Guilty album but it did have some standout tracks on it. I personally love My Story. I don't know why but I like the them of the album and the songs were some of my personal faves. My Story Classical was nice too.

Ayumi's new PV is out! I've been excited to see the PV for this since I'm lovin' the song GREEN.

All I know is that it was shot in Shanghai. Probably not Ayumi's best PV ever or anything but still a good PV. I like the dragon dancers at the beginning. And it's another PV where I actually wish she would dye her hair back to black. The other PV where I felt she should have natural Asian hair (dark brown/black) was Part of Me.

I haven't seen a confirmed cover for GREEN/Days yet. I'm hoping one will come out soon though since I'm tempted to order this single now =(

^ So agree. GREEN is such a good song. And I liked the PV, half and half. Some of it was blah, some parts were beautifully artistic. And yeah, I wish she had her old brunette B&D hair. That was my favorite.

I'm still holding out on Days. I've heard it's generic, but I won't make an opinion until I hear the whole song. Which will be when the PV comes out Giggle

Nod Yup I love that album. I loved all her orchestra Remixes she has released Love Love Love I'm really hoping for another Remix album next year. Since she brought out the Silver and Gold remixes I've gained some hope that she will continue to release more. But I'm hoping it's an acoustic version Boogie I can dream Can't I? Laughing

@octocoffee I love the B&D hair Crying It's my favorite of hers Embarassed

Oh wow, those. are. STUNNING.

I don't care that they're similar to Mirrorcle World's. I don't care that she's got the "fish" mouth. I don't care that she didn't incorporate the color green or whatever. She looks amazing. And they're covers. I think I'd prefer gorgeous looking covers with fantastic music behind them than a symbolic yet crappy looking cover.

Sorry, I'm just ranting a bit over how everyone is making such a big deal over these.

^ I agree I love the covers. They're gorgeous Love Love Love

I especially love the Green/Days one Finally I'm getting the cover I love most Boogie Although I also love the Green/Days Cd only Version Shifty But I have to restrain myself from ordering it Laughing

And I'm kind of glad that they're similiar to Mirrorcle World. Smile Both singles being from her 10th Anniversary year will always stand out from the rest of her discography.

Exactly! And even though they're not 'themed' or whatever, they still have the theme of being Ayu's 10th anniversary. And it seems like she's into the beautiful aspects of life and nature this year so -shrug-

Wow thanks for the covers! Ayu looks so beautiful there. I don't really know where the 'green' part is, but it's Ayu, anyhow. Love Love
