Ayumi Hamasaki

[jpguy]

as a whole, GUILTY is my favourite album to be honest. I had really great memories as I went thru a horrible breakup back in the day (lol years have gone by) and I played FATED and literally cried for hours listening to it. it's way too deep. I love the melody which is so real and raw. The album is a masterpiece.

Ayu would feel proud of herself if she could read your post.

I love Guilty too btw! Beautiful covers, booklets, emotional songs and good videos! The video of Glitter/fated is a masterpiece.

Close to You is such a stunning song! Ayumi is really great with ballads.

Any news of a new album or upcoming projects?

[jpguy]

Not at the moment. I hope she rests

[jpguy]

Her entire discography (bar some tracks from MADE IN JAPAN) is up on Spotify! Best news. seems like it's been up there for a while already I hadn't noticed but I'm so happy blasting JULY 1ST / DEAREST / HANABI EPISODE II / NEXT LEVEL. Her music brings back so many memories!!!

I feel like I'm talking to myself here now (on this thread) like this is a journaling diary however I do want to say that going thru her entire discography this past weekend I've felt so relieved, like I really do feel why I fell in love with her in 1st place...

FATED I have no idea why, or maybe it's the feeling, but this song can make me feel like crying each time I listen to it... no other song can do that (not even a "Hurt" or "Beautiful" by Xtina can do that so quickly... I just feel like I'm extremely vulnerable and I want to cry over nothing.

Hanabi Episode II another track that puts me in pieces, like a kid... crying... I may be putting a lot of myself here but that's why she's one of my favourites regardless of the past 5 years in her discography

I'm listening to Guilty right now...talkin' 2 myself is the s***!

Sorry jpguy! I have nothing else to add to any conversation, I'm waiting for a new project from her. Everything she puts out is practically flawless so I have nothing else to say

[Gravity]

I think that my favorite Ayumi songs (so far) are:

Heaven
Last Minute
A song for xx
Appears
Close to You
talkin' 2 myself
In The Corner

M was a huge disappointment, this song is not good as everyone was saying...

[jpguy]

I love how "Talkin' 2 Myself" is always higher up in people's individual Ayumi charts!

[joiPrince_JO]

I wish "Bridge to the Sky" was longer. It's one of her best songs but it's only 1:43 long I think Next Level is definitely her best album of the past decade.

I think it's my favourite album by her!

[jpguy]

True that . Bridge is such an incredible song. I love it a lot.

I always find it mind-blowing how Ayu can make albums (like 'Next Level' for instance) that combine cutting edge electro music with rock music and sweet ballads. Her albums flow so beautifully and still remain cohesive. I don't know any other artists who can do that.

I agree.

[GiorgosSeahorse]

I think that the songs on ''Love songs'' reflect the album.

[Gravity]

I'm listening to A ONE right now. Her cover of Movin' On Without You is amazing the highlight on the album.

Zutto and Anything for you are beautiful. And Last minute is still one of my fav songs from her.

[crazycool]

^ Last minute is definitely her best song in years for me.

Any news of a new album or single ?

[jpguy]

Not at the moment, I read she will be in some type of Arena concert, she definitely doesn't care she's going deaf :-?

Yes, she's on tour right now.

[Gravity]

Don't look back is such a good song!

[joiPrince_JO]

Its crazy to think that she's only celebrating her 20th anniversary next year. It feels like she's been around forever. She has accomplished so much. Amazing.

Re: Ayumi Hamasaki

I wonder what she's up to.

Still on tour.
