This girl has sung of the best songs in IIDX, like XEPHER, Love Again..., DOUBLE♥♥LOVING HEART, and Under the Sky.

Go Ayane! Go go go!!

She's become my new J-pop/Bemani obsession since BeForU disbanded.
My favorite album is Hyper Moe Trance, because I'm a trance freak, but Archive lovers is really good too.
Favorite songs.. that's hard. Recently, I fell in love with Fly Away from her first single Kizuna.

Ayane's newest single cloudier sky is a REALLY good single.  I mean, it only has two songs, but both are great.  cloudier sky sounds like a slightly harder version of Nageki no Mori, and WISH ON TRUTH has a catchy chorus and a latin style that just totally engulfs me... Definitely my favorite single by her so far, followed by Nageki no Mori and Kizuna.

Here are some useful blogs (with pics )

YAY!

I also love Ayane, she is one of the best bemani vocalists ever. I like Archive lovers a little more than HMTA, i like Kakashi and track 3 and 10, hehe, haven't gotten around to memorizing the actual names.

I'd disagree with you on the best songs on IIDX but she has a very nice voice. I can't wait for Lunatic Tears... though her cloudier sky single is good.

And Hyper Moe Trance = one of the best hyper mix albums I've heard in a while.

Oh yeah!  Lunatic Tears is SO good.  To me, it sounds like a super hybrid between Guilty Sky, Xepher, and TERRA's REVOLUTION (because of the voice effect during the verses of REVOLUTION, and somewhere in the middle of Lunatic Tears.)

Anyone who hasn't heard the short version yet can do so here:

I've only just got into Ayane through her Hyper Moe Trance album, but what i've heard is excellent.
And i listened to that Lunatic Tears and.. WOW!

[nilmind]

I must say that despite the recent flux of listening to a good number of songs I never knew she sang, I'll still say that my favorites from her remain in Bemani for the most part.  As for her other stuff, I'll say that the orchestrated version of Kakashi wins for me in Archive Lovers while I'll agree that the HMTA IS really good.

I noticed that she has got a really wide pitching range.

But my favourite is still Dolphin Jet and with Sayaka in UTS and DLH.

[dreamlover13]

I just love XEPHER. The is just so haunting, and the first time you listen to it, you don't even expect it going to change pace.

From her Feb 2nd post:

只今、彩音は
アルバムのリリースに向けての準備が
始まりましたっ

Does this means she started working on a new album?

[snow]

Wow, I hope so.  It seems so soon!  But I guess that's since we only found out about Ayane in what was it.. August or so? But yeah, that's right.. It's been almost a year since Archive Lovers.  I was expecting at least one more single, since she's only had DOLPHIN JET and cloudier sky.  Then again, I would like the album better if there ends up being less songs that I haven't already listened to too many times.  (That's what happened with BeForUIII.  )

[SUPER STAR MITSURU]

Yup. She's saying that she's preparing for the release of a new album.

[Danny]

OMG YAY!!

This is so awesome! Although Sarah and i alrady speculated about an album release, this is certainly good news, i hope Tatsh is involved in it somehow, since he worked with her on Lunatic tears

[snow]

I wonder if, now that Tatsh and "Ayane" are working together, maybe some platoniX songs will get fulls versions on her next album?  It probably won't happen, but damn, that would be soooo cool.

[Danny]

OMG I KNOW ^

It would be the greatest surprise ever to see something like Carry on night or even under the sky and the next Ayane album, but i would really just be happy if Tatsh helped produce the album, i'm sure they could come up with great new songs.
