Her discography is so big that I#d be splitting it for sure. Just not sold on what would work better... two parts of about ~130 songs each, or three parts of about ~85 songs each... I mean, regardless of choice the last part is going to be a hard sell for anybody But J-Pop rates are already niche on here, and too many songs could scare off the girls. Idk! Advice, ladies?

If we go by sales (since quality is more subjective, though I believe that the consensus is that the first part is also her best quality-wise), then the first part could include her million sellers (up to (miss)understood + Memorial Address), that would be about... 116 songs (or 118 if you include the new songs from A BALLADS). Then part 2 with Secret - Love Again + Five (100k+ sellers). The last part would have 4 studio albums and 2 minis, which is probably easier to sell. Maybe @Kyle-x has a better idea about the division. But yeah, regardless of the number of songs, it'll be mostly for the people who are already familiar with the material, curiosity isn't in vogue these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial thought was to maybe try and sort it so that Love Songs ends up in the third part... like leaving out crumbs to get the girls to listen to the rest of the 2010s stuff. Maybe going for two big parts and one smaller finale would be best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I remember interludes being omitted in Utada's rate, but they definitely should all be in Ayumi's rates as people tend to have a high opinion of them. It'd be interesting to see them overtake actual songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graves Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 My initial thought was to have a bonus section for interludes, maybe to pad out a smaller part three, but I would be willing to just include them in the main festivities as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(miss) is a pretty good cut off point for the first one! You could also argue for a cut off at MY STORY because imo there's more of a clear distinction in the music pre/post (miss) and makes more sense to me as the start of a new chapter (the use of Sweetbox compositions, darker themes lyrically, kind of the end of her imperial sales phase even though it was still a smash). I would personally cut the second one off at Love songs because Party Queen is generally agreed upon as another major shift (back to much darker themes, the first album not to go platinum, the first divorce, the end of her releasing traditional physical singles every year). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
