Have you ever bought a variant and why?
There was a time back in the day when I did. K-pop and j-pop conditioned me since the early 2000s to buy variants lol I'd get the CD, CD+DVD, CD+photobook, CD+whatever bonus material. With western artists though I haven't. The only time I will buy a "variant" (if it can even be considered that) is if it's an anniversary edition released years later that has bonus/unreleased tracks.

Part 3 is going to be so damn fun. We're going into the messy parts of Ayu's career now and some choice words will be said

HEAVEN, BRILLANTE, and November deserved better tho. I won't forget this injustice y'all gave these songs.

She really needs to bust out that airship from storage again because THAT? That was such an iconic moment for Mirrorcle World. I repeat: SHE HAS A MF-ING AIRSHIP. THAT'S ICONIC AF.

STEP you is THE quintessential Ayu song tho so i'm rooting for her!

i'm pretty surprised Mirrorcle World made it to the end. I vaguely remember the full song didn't quite hit the fandom as much as the intro version did at the time of its release

The video for GREEN would've been a perfect 10 if only the dancer turned her head at the same time as Ayu but the delay was so obvious it dropped the quality of the video.

Ayu has always been a little deranged and that's what we love her for

Ladies Night still sounds so fresh even to this day what a classic
-
Ayumi Hamasaki: The Rate - Part II - THE finale
it always amazes me how ayu can release such an aggressive symphonic rock track like talkin 2 myself and then a sugary typical jpop song like glitter the next and both still feel authentically like herself. She really could do it all tbh
-
Ayumi Hamasaki: The Rate - Part II - THE finale
Ugh i was hoping a top 5 placement for this legendary track
-
Ayumi Hamasaki: The Rate - Part II - THE finale
the music video really sells the song for me tbh. i love when ayu gets a little twisted in the head and aggressively hates herself lmao
