I think (miss)understood and Secret are my favorite albums right now. To the hell with Ayu's past. She had very good music, but a little repetitive to my taste. I can't never get to listen to her old music for a long time. On the other hand, (m)u and Secret are probably the ones I've listened to the most, and the singles they included were very good too.

From My Story, for example, I'd only save the ballads. And Guilty.. well, Guilty wasn't that bad, but it just seemed to me like a merge of the rejected songs for (m)u and Secret, songs that I enjoyed but not much. Also, I think she needs to come back to the three/four singles per year. 06, 07 and 08 only had two. Ok, she had the Bests, but those were not really necessary. I'm sure Ayu never agreed to put those on sale, but that's a different story.

I hope she releases more in 2009 and that she puts out a new album.

(miss) understood's one of my favorite albums of her's as well, but everything after that kind of... sucks in comparison to her other stuff. Secret was okay. The only song I really liked was 1 LOVE and the interludes.

I listened to most of Ayu's albums and to be honest, I don't really like her style of music. It's not bad, per se, just not my cup of tea.

Merged ASIA TOUR '07 and GOLD+SILVER posts to this one.

Yeah, new Ayu Single! this year has been pretty boring Ayu-wise (though I know it's probably because of her deaf ear). I'll probably end up getting GREEN/Days, cuz TO BE owns. I hope this one comes with another giant slipcase and poster.

Also, I love Ayu, to me she can do no wrong save for two exceptions (Her first album and those god damn summer singles that all sound the same [Blue Bird, Glitter, Fairyland, etc] both make me cringe )

-holds up Duty sign-

this is totally her best.

(miss) understood is probably my favorite of hers. =D

:O I love fairyland. It's one of my favorite Ayu songs. glitter is good, too, but I don't care for BLUE BIRD too much.

I liked Fairyland when it was just Fairyland and not part of the summer trilogy of sound alikes. It's gone down on my list since then.

Duty is my favorite Ayu album as well, followed closely by I am..., then Guilty and Secret, then Rainbow.

I beleive I am... was the first Jpop album I ever bought instead of pirated, way back in 2001. MEMORIEESSSS.

RAINBOW and MY STORY were the first Ayu albums I bought (for my 16th birthday. I got some other albums, too. ;D).

I like Secret, Rainbow, Duty and Guilty album a lot! Though I can't stand much of I am. It was just boring IMO. Loveappears was pretty good as well. I haven't heard MU and My Story yet.
