Ayumi Hamasaki

[Trinu 3.0]

VIBEES is a mood!

 

[Liberty]

Forgot this came out today.
My excitement for J pop is non existent these days ddd.

 

[Trinu 3.0]

The lack of new material is disappointing (what's new), but I'm bopping to Summer Again like it's... well, summer again.

 

[YourLeadSinger]

It’s a good album, would’ve been more exciting without most of it having been released as those were the best tracks (ddd) but, as I have said before, I view this as a collection of material she did/released during the pandemic.

Who told her “taskWIGSOFFson” should only be an interlude? Rude.
The remix of “Nonfiction” is alright, boppy but has less of a personality than the original.
The title track is meh, the (NOT) title track is much better.
“VIBEES” is cute.

 

[New Flame]

It's a solid album.

Taskinson and then MASK.

Also, the package has a little sticker with '18th album' on it. She now has the same number of albums as Koda Kumi.

I barely listened to any of the new material other than Summer again and hoo, good album! Very much an Ayu album. Petition to have her last album ever to be full vocal versions of every tasuku album. taskinson BANGER

That's a feat, even if the sales are not what they used to be.

Also...



I hate these anniversaries.

54?!?!?!!?! Fucking how? She doesn't even have 20 full albums, and I know she doesn't have 30 remix albums so where is this number coming from??

Edit: welp never mind I just counted and she does have almost 30 remix albums which I didn't realize. And I forgot all about her plethora of mini albums too so there we go. Good for her!

Yeah she has had like (a crazy) 80 something album releases if you count it all up.

My guess is that 'album' phrasing is more akin to 'single album' which would make more sense for her career. (basically, releases that contain one or two tracks)

Just had to go and check her wiki ñññ

18 regular albums
6 minis
7 Bests
And over 20 remix albums

So... yeah, it's doable.

 

[evilsin]

She really did that. Even if the general public aren't that into her nowadays, she's still one of the best singer-songwriters out there and she definitely deserves the feat.

 

[New Flame]

Ayu promises that more is coming this year.

Maybe she isn't retiring after all and the announcement was just for the dramatics?

I quite like the ballads on this album. It's especially nice to rediscover 'Ohia no Ki'.

I think '(NOT) Remember you' and the 'Nonfiction' remix are the weakest links. 'One Night Carnival' should've been there.

 

[mi|kshake]

My order of Remember You is out for delivery!!! (Kinda wish I had put Wings in with it too but it does include BoA's mini!)

Can't wait to listen to tracks 1 to 5 (even I've heard most of them before) it's gonna be a ride!
