Let me reach into my ayumi hamasaki branded purse to get my ayumi hamasaki branded pen to write this down in my ayumi hamasaki branded calendar -- wait, what were you all saying about her capitalist critiques earlier again?

I'll ping you the details from my authentic Ayumi Hamasaki pager. It plays a chiptune of Boys&Girls when I get a page.

Only one thing is set in stone for Part 2, and that is a certain Secret track coming dead last.

Bops.

 

I'm warning you girls now. Anybody coming for GREEN in Part 2 will be dealt with. Period.

GREEN, Rule, Sparkle; NEXT LEVEL is lowkey one of her best singles run ever if you delete Days

Track #10 on Duty

 

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 2 (Kyle-x, UrMom)

LOW SCORE: 1 x 1 (Invisibility)

HOST SCORE: 7

 

Aw, this lullaby. Though it wouldn't usually be my thing, teddy bear does hit a little sweet spot on my heart that makes me like it a lot. There's something quite earnest and even child-like about Ayu's delivery on this song that just makes for a very emotive moment. Whether you believe it's about her grandmother or about her father, it's clear that it is a very personal and affecting song for her to sing. The live performances alone... Oh ****, where did I put the tissues?

 

I will make mention of the 2003 tour performance, in which Ayu sings teddy bear to a teddy bear, and then immediately goes into Memorial address right afterwards. Girls, she's trying to make me a wreck. Why am I getting so deep into Ayu lore? And does anybody have a shoulder I can cry on?

 

 

Suilen: I don't think that the song itself is that great, but the lyrics are touching and it's apparently about her grandmother, who'd passed away before her career took off, so as someone who was also brought up by their grandmother, I can't help sympathizing with her.

Kyle-x: Such a touching song. Where are my girls with daddy issues at? I'm going to guess a lot of y'all— Really weird there was never an acoustic/orchestral vocal version of this released. The live performances of this </3 whew.

Meloetta Carey: i wonder how this is gonna do. I feel like the nasality of her voice combined with the heartlessness of the average ATRLer could tank it.

AMIT: I have to be in a certain mood for this one but it's not bad by any means.

11/13

There's probably an interview out there where she hints at it being about her father but I choose to interpret it as something that actually happened rather than something that she wanted to happen, and her grandmother was the most likely person to do what's described in the song. I think that her grandma dying right before her proper debut was devastating to her so Ayu devoting plenty of songs to her even when not directly stated isn't that surprising. While the aforementioned untitled is about her late friend, the lyrics also work for her grandmother.

On hindsight I'd up P.S II's score. I played it in the car after I saw I gave it the lowest score and it was foggy and it was a such a vibe. Sorry sisters

I thought the averages were quite high for top 80 but then I checked Utada's rate, and they were around the same range, and that's with several dud albums in the mix.

omg I'm being haunted by Ayumi for my crimes :biblionana: I paused my music (FFX-2 soundtrack) to go brush my teeth, and then kanariya randomly started playing while I was in the bathroom :biblionana: I was bopping, of course, but I was also scared for my life ddd

 

Spoiler

idk why, but when I open the photo viewer on Windows, it will eventually automatically scroll to the next picture/video. After I clicked open a pic, didn't close it, and left my desk, it scrolled to the kanariya video I've had saved for weeks to make gifs of nnn. Mystery solved, but it still spooked me a bit :rip:

I put a bitchlessness curse on Maresia to motivate him to send for the Shiina rate back in April, and though I technically lifted it, there are still no b*tches on the horizon. This is how bad it can get.

Yeesh... luckily I don't have a firstborn.

 

Maybe Ayumi should do an Egyptian plagues concept album :gaynetcat4:

 

Spoiler

 

Not an original idea though. Speaking of locusts, Glittering Cloud is the only song I like from this :rip:
