Default It's Ayu Day!

Today is the day we all remember that Ayumi Hamasaki is a thing, and that she did things, and all that.


To celebrate, I recreated my favorite album cover:




So enjoy that!


Also it wouldn't be right without a link to July 1st so here you go

updated lyric video


alt link to the live version

A lot of those songs are forever burned into my memory -- they were really helpful back in the days when I was trying to learn the language.

Holy shit it has been a solid decade since I've seen any dances to these mixes.

The Euro mixes of Evolution and Independence are very, very nostalgic for me and instrumental to why I got into Jpop past what was in DDR. The actual songs are also worth the time.

Also, even though it's more about shit I can't relate to half the time, I f*cking love Rainbow as an album. July 1st and Dolls are the shit. I've had the actual CD since 2008.

Neither are a lot of the songs in the video -- who cares? Naturally is still a great song (prob. my favorite of hers -- I always associate it with the early days of Stepmania / DWI):



Always loved these as well

Evolution (Goldenscan remix):



M (Above and Beyond remix) -- this was my introduction to her music altogether (and now that I think about it, Above and Beyond's music, too), via some random simfile that has probably been lost to time:



As for Rainbow though, I always found Taskinillusion to be a really interesting and unusual track -- I've only ever usually heard it as an instrumental.

It doesn't have any words as far as I know, unless you mean it has the backing vocal taken out in another compilation or something.

Which is.......odd of them to do.

Instead of a new thread I'll bump this one

Today (in it's last 2 hours) make it a point to listen to all of Ayu Trance 2 it's still fucking good.

Also still upset that no one really got the joke in post 1. Like I'm honored y'all are supporting in my fandom but you didn't have to look at that horrible photo and be like "yeah we're just gonna be nice to Lar on this one" lol.

HOLY SHIT NYOKOU LONG TIME NO SEE It has been forever lol

I don't even try to keep up with the amount of content that Ayu pumps out, her and her producers are machines. I will be surprised if she's still at this pace in 10 years. At that point it'll probably be one last Best Of collection and tours.

Instead of doing my own cover for July 1st (look man, June sucked lol) I'm posting this waaaaay talented cover instead



Basically I still love Ayu's older stuff and if you don't listen to it you should....or at least scroll up and listen to the Euromixes that Raeko linked.

Maybe if I find the time today I'll sing karaoke and para dance....wouldbt be the craziest thing I've done for July 1st lmao
