AvadaKedavra Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I cant believe i missed this rate. What is the rate about i love all ayu albums. The new ones too. Even if people act like her new music is bad I honestly love all the sides of herself. I honestly like sometimes her new albums more cause her voice is more bearable. It was too whiny when she started Guilty is my fave ayu album cause her voice is so deep and harsh in that record and it goes perfectly with the grunge-metal-rock instrumentals. Im just concerned how without AHS we dont have anything to follow her steeps anymore here in the west someone here could give me good sites to keep track of ayumi??? Here my last fm since 2011 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle-x Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Someone needs to post so I'm not spamming too many posts in a row https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Xb4y1e7CC/ The rate has got me revisiting old live performances.

Curaga Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I've been trying to do a list ranking, like actually listing the songs from most- to least-liked, and it's basically impossible with this many songs... It's also hard when there's songs like SURREAL and AUDIENCE where they're both perfect to me and I only "prefer" whichever one is currently playing nn Since decimal ratings are allowed, I thought it might be a fun idea to order them and then assign 10, 9.9, 9.8, 9.7, etc. Has anyone ever received a ballot like that in one of these rates lol? I don't think I'll do it like that anyway... I've given a draft score to every track, but I've been trying to decide if I wanna grade them on a curve this time or not Doing it that way feels kinda contrived, but it also kinda worked in my favor keeping Kumi's BUT from the #1 spot... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have legally obtained it when I saw it. Now it's time to track it down lol btw I just made this gif really quick from the SURREAL video.

I should have legally obtained it when I saw it. Now it's time to track it down lol btw I just made this gif really quick from the SURREAL video. It was the only moment that stood out as gif-able to me Any MV suggestions for gifs? The iconic scenes of her in the white dress didn't stand out to you? The debut album videos are more simple but the 90s vibes and coloring on them have made them fun to rewatch, so if you're into that then all 5 are worth checking out. For LOVEppears, LOVE ~Destiny~ is cute for the scenes of her in the car and crowd, kanariya is gorgeous with the gems all over her and the scenes of her with the black wig and cunty makeup, appears is a fan fave of course for the multiple lewks. Boys & Girls is a little simple but still iconic, so worth a watch. WHATEVER is weird and moody and where the theme of her having random white kids in her videos starts. TO BE and Fly high are more low budget but she looks cute ddd. For Duty, SURREAL is obviously the best. The first 3 singles are linked together and she looks cute but they aren't super eventful videos, and there's too many scenes of the white kids and the weird editing. For I am...; M, evolution and Dearest obviously all very iconic serves (the piano version video for Dearest is very pretty too). NEVER EVER didn't really get a full video, the short promo clip is just to serve a look so that's cute. She's not really in Endless sorrow that much and there's too many white kids shots again. UNITE! is just a live clip. Daybreak is a low budget moment since it was a limited re-cut single, it's basically one continuous shot of her in a crazy mummy lewk serving drama. The videos for RAINBOW are all very conceptual, so Free & Easy, Voyage (basically a short film) and Real me (cunty futuristic feminist alien vibes) are all worth checking out. RAINBOW, the song, is one of her best PVs ever. This is basically the start of her video golden period imo where almost every one is worth a watch ddd. She's usually serving a stunning lewk and there's usually a TON of symbolism for things. From Memorial address, ourselves is truly one of the best videos like... of all time. It eats down. Because of You is in that same boat. Greatful days is a cute party video where she looks gorgeous. HANABI ~episode II~ is gorgeous visually despite being on the simpler side. forgiveness is really pretty even though it has really dated CGI ddd. No way to say is a cute Christmas moment with a terrifyingly creepy Santa Claus cameo. ANGEL'S SONG was just a moment for the furry community. For MY STORY, the videos are little more simple but have beautiful visuals. Moments is a gorgeous video. A little haunting and there's weird shots of white kids again. INSPIRE was something cunty for the summertime. She's serving lewks and a little appropriation. GAME ended Avril Lavigne with her rock chick princess lewks. CAROLS is beautiful, especially the shots of the carousel. About You is fun too, the shots of her trapped in the glass box with the Jackie O outfit vibes are cool. walking proud you already know. Humming 7/4 is just a rock chick performance video with a cool set. my name's WOMEN was a feminist serve that also was for the gays with the shirtless men. Limiting myself to the era in the rate, though my favorite videos are the ones that come after this (I started listing them but then I basically was giving you a list of 90% of her videos for the next 10 years ddd). My top 10 might include Ladies Night, alterna, glitter/fated short film, is this LOVE?, Startin', 1 LOVE, Mirrorcle World, GREEN, Rule, Sparkle, BALLAD, Don't look back... ok I went over 10 ddd let me stop. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I've only been listening to the album version... I forgot the video version was mentioned nnn my favorite part of the album version is so subdued in the video version and isn't even in the HAL mix, but both eat up the album version anyway. Lemme bump up my score for that video 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
