I think that the only thing avex wants is money, and a competition like that surely will give money

She's done so many different genres, and yes, she does stick to pop tunes/rock songs/ballads mostly but.. still.

This video made me see this fact a whole lot clearer!:

That's my video woot! :love

P.S. I like the sound of Blossom, but I do think in some ways her style is becoming a bit samey..

Oh, wow! Best fan-made Ayu video ever! I've literally seen it 10+ times and I send it to many of my friends. It's been almost a year, so maybe it's time to add the last 8 PV's with a message at the end to look out for her next single? :3

Oh, there were subjects you wanted to write about that much. Was it because you thought that to be truthful is the true part of your music?
I’ve always been the kind of person who gets into trouble because I’m too honest. I’m talking about as far as my lifestyle, and the things I say. As far as my songs go, with singles there’s always constraints, so I think for the past few years I’ve felt unfulfilled in that way. Like, I have to release them in the same cycle, a really cheerful song for summer, a ballad for winter... I’ve wanted to change that for a while, but since it’s not just my problem, I haven’t been able to really do it. But I really wanted to just do what I wanted to on this album. Because if I don’t feel anything when I listen to a song, my listeners aren’t going to feel anything either. I thought that if I made this album for myself, all songs that I felt something from, my listeners would have to feel something too. I really believe that.

I think every major artist feels that way at some point at another. It is a business afterall, so you have to do what is guaranteed to sell. My Story isn't my favorite album but I can tell each time I listen to it that she put a lot more thought and care in it than she's done with any of her other albums. Shame, she's so powerful but is still victim to the pop cycle. I hope she gets the chance to do another My Story again someday. Maybe once she breaks her record, she'll be able to break out her mold again.

Her record is actually already broken with albums (GUILTY got #2) and if the single one disappears, it'll just be like "Oh, there's the Daybreak of this era" or something, haha.

Yeah, I was talking about the singles record, had no idea the albums one was already broken though. idk but I'm really confident she'll break the single record this time. Something about this singles project is giving off feelings of a "rebirth" to me and I think the Japanese will embrace it. LOL, talking like this when moon/blossom isn't even out yet. I hope I'm not expecting too much but as long as the music's good I'd have no reason to be disappointed if those expectations weren't met.
