Re: It's Ayu Day!

Does the Photobucket Watermark enhance the OP? We may never want to admit such a thing. But anyway

IT'S AYU DAY AGAIN

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the song July 1st as well as the full album it was added to, Rainbow. You can listen to Rainbow in it's entirety below

It's really nostalgic for me because it's one of my earliest imported albums.

But as lately I'm not gonna lie I've been humming this diddy for a week straight:

I originally imported Rock and Roll circus in 2012 and I ain't gonna lie I remember only liking half the set list, but going back I think I like it way more. I also miss the aesthetic and crazy ass energy of the videos.

But of course, least I get in another loop of only sharing pre-2010 Ayu, here's what I think is her current album



As always, post your favs.

Re: It's Ayu Day!

Guys I'm not going to lie I'm in much better shape now then when I took that picture. I feel sexier, anyway

Perhaps if Photobucket really does nuke my photos like they keep threatening to I'll do a reshoot.

Anyway this thread could use MORE AYU SINCE IT IS ONCE AGAIN AYU DAY

also

Also ayyyyyyyyy we have been blessed with a new single and MV this day!

That song is still a bop

Have we reached out for permission yet?

EDIT: After much paperwork scrutiny and almost setting Google Translate on fire multiple times, I've found that asking for permissions would require Avex Music Publishing (AMP) to contact JASRAC & NexTone for rights & usage guideline referrals of which I dug (for some time) to find their royalty documents and found us ineligible for usage without us paying royalties in some form to one of the two music rights groups.

Hope it means something knowing I genuinely tried Happy Ayu Day though!

Re: It's Ayu Day!

Yo gold, that is legitimately awesome that you tried!! <3

Thanks for looking into it! Ayu songs can make for some great files

Re: It's Ayu Day!

Yoooo thanks Gold, that was super cool of you to look into it

But yeah Avex isn't cool with the music on YouTube so I ain't surprised

Re: It's Ayu Day!

My fiancé, Lana, just discovered this thread

It's appropriate that she did because ITS AYU DAY AGAIN

Also shout outs to Ayu Day 2023 winning a TWG for me and Raeko

Re: It's Ayu Day!

PS Lana called me a nut and then started scrolling TikTok
