Release Date: September 24, 2008
Tracklist:
1. Anata to
2. Anata to (Instrumental ver.)
Oh-my-god, yay! Another ayaka and Kobukuro collaboration. I heard this single was released due to fan (and I guess popular) demand. Well, whatever the reason was, I’m happy they’re singing together again. Their vocals just mix and harmonize so nicely together.
Unlike the previous collaboration WINDING [...]

Release Date: February 28, 2007
Tracklist:
1. WINDING ROAD
2. WINDING ROAD (Instrumental)
I love how Kobukuro and ayaka harmonize so nicely in WINDING ROAD. The a Capella section at the beginning is nicely done too; it leaves a lasting impression. The range that both ayaka and Kobukuro have are amazing, and their voices compliment each other so nicely. [...]

Tracklist:
1. Mikazuki
2. Kimi no Kiss de…
3. Yume no Kakera -Live Version-
4. Mikazuki (Instrumental)
Mikazuki begins with a light piano accompaniment with some soft strings in the background. The melody in this song is beautiful, especially when ayaka jumps an octave (very hard to do, and she does it flawlessly!) in the chorus. [...]
ayaka – Real voice
Release Date: July 19, 2006
Tracklist:
1. Real voice
2. Peace loving people
3. Real voice (instrumental)
Real voice begins with a ayaka’s voice (heavily fillered), before the instrumentals come in. The melody in the verse at the beginning is rather weird, in my opnion. Once again, ayaka amazes me with her versatile range, though the song in general [...]

Tracklist:
1. I believe
2. Yume no Kakera
3. I believe (Instrumental)
I fell in love with ayaka’s music through I believe that I accidentally stumbled upon. I believe has a soothing feel to it, and the strings used as background music was excellent. This song’s lyrics are about losing trust, and then believing [...]

1. Okaeri
This song reminds me of her other song,”I believe”. It’s got a simple melody, with drums accompaniment in the verses. There are layers of her voice in the later parts of the verse and chorus. [...]
