The below is a list of all Ayu's major releases and media appearances, including music releases, home video releases, books & magazines, commercial campaigns, and radio & TV appearances. The list will be filterable by type soon.
== Types: ==

* Album: Original studio albums, usually including the singles that came before it (but after the previous album), between 10 and 20 tracks long.
* Compilation: Ayu-only best-ofs or themed compilation of previously released songs.
* Mini-Album: Short albums, usually between 4 and 9 songs, typically without remixes or instrumentals.
* Relational: Multi-artist compilations or releases by other artists that include tracks or performances contributed by Ayu, but where Ayu is not the primary focus of the release.
* Remix Album: Compilations of usually new & original remix versions of Ayu songs.
* Remix Single: One of Ayu's singles that focuses on remix versions and exists outside the "canon" of her main single discography; the remixes in this case are not done alongside the release of the original song, but at a later time.

* Magazine: Periodical publications, including free publications with enough pages to be bound, but not including newspapers or free publications that are folded.

|“Far away ‘HAL’s Mix 2000’”
|Includes what appears to be “super radio mix” edits of the 5 SEB remixes from SEB vol. 100, plus the full album versions of the first three remixes. No one’s ripped the radio mixes though so no idea about their length or how they’ve been edited or remixed.

|Contains extended instrumental versions of tracks from ayu trance 1. Exact numbers pressed and the countries in which it was released outside of Japan were confusing pieces of information with a lot of conflicting info around. Despite being under the name “AYU” like other EU releases, it appears to be Japan only.

  • Mini-Album: Short albums, usually between 4 and 9 songs, typically without remixes or instrumentals.

  • Remix Album: Compilations of usually new & original remix versions of Ayu songs.

  • Magazine: Periodical publications, including free publications with enough pages to be bound, but not including newspapers or free publications that are folded.
