Anyone else notice less DAI and more BOUNCEBACK?
 

Um....i think this trend of DAI composing less and less of ayu's songs is disturbing. Look at M.A. - only HANABI EP 2 and forgiveness are composed with or by DAI. For those of u who dont know - DAI together with ayu herself has composed nearly all of her songs and most of her greatest from LOVEppears on. He is very talented and knows a good melody. Don't get me wrong - i love the BOUNCEBACK composed songs on M.A. but im worried that DAI will stop composing songs for Ayu and no one in their right mind could think this would be a good thing for her music.

Anone... I think I'm starting to like BOUNCEBACK's melodies more and more... look at "ourselves", "Because of You" (my 2 fav ayu songs...) and "No way to say"...

However from the MA... I just so love music from "forgiveness".... ^^

I noticed it too.. I hope DAI doesn't go away. I think BOUNCEBACK is okay only when HAL arranges his(?) songs the right way ;)

I would rather Ayu stay away from Real Me/Ourselves/Greatful Days/(and to an extent Angel's Song) types of music.

lets have new tune ^_^

no DAI doesnt go away... he wont go away ^^ because the reason he doesnt make an appearance with do as infinity is to be a mentor for ayu ^^ maybe dai just take a rest or something but somehow i enjoy and i really dont care if it is dai's song or bouncebak's song as long as we love ayumi and i think everyone dont care it much ^^

Actually, DAI's compositions were the worst on Memorial Address IMO...

I dislike forgiveness... its kinda boring. Hanabi ep II is really good, but some of the other songs on M.A. are better.

I surprisingly liked Bounceback's work better than DAI's on M.A.

+ I dont think Ayu should stay away from Real Me/Ourselves/Greatful Days/Angel's Song type songs... She needs to keep variety. I am... like my favorite ayu album lacks variety and focuses on Rock Music, although rock is my favorite kind of music, it got a little repetitive; but to an extent she should stay away from songs like that... she could be rapping next -.-()

and who composed Memorial Address???

She rapped already! On "Nothing from Nothing"! I don't want to hear something like that ever again! lol!

And You think ANGEL'S SONG and Greatful days are rock songs?! Really?!

I like Real me, ourselves, Because of You.... (especially the last two which are my favs) and I want her to keep making songs like that...

However... it doesn't matter what song she'll release! I know it'll be good! I was really enjoying ALL her releases in 2003! From "R[A]INBOW" from [A BALLADS] to "Because of You" from [Memorial address]

no Shiso I never said Greatful Days or ANgels Song were rock, I said the "I am..." album was mostly rock...

yea, and I don't like it, I heard BOUNCEBACK is not responsible for ANGEL'S SONG, but that song is just annoying and so is ourselves. I wish Ayu'd go back to HAL and DAI =(

imo Greatful days sucks.
the state of mind im in recently despises songs like that.
i quite like ANGEL'S SONG even though its horrendously corny, i was just pleased it wasnt a ballad because i was sure it would be, cos of the title.
ourselves is pretty cool, i hated BoY 2 begin with, but its really grown on me.
i HATE [forgiveness] but HANABI~episode II~ is nice, but its very kanashii ne :-/
[Memorial address] makes me feel like slitting my wrists, its so damn depressing, i wish i didnt understand the lyrics, then at least id like the tune

DAI must stay, he stayed with ayumi from the beginning, and should stay with her till the end

Bounceback has made like two songs. I can name several remixers who have made more, so what? That doesn't mean they completely dominated all of Ayumi's remixes.

it's just a phase ayu's music is going through

I actually like this...and you have to think about who bounceback is. he does a fair amount of avex stuff, including boa or all people, so his music style is pretty drastically different...

not to sound like a crazed ayu fan, but I like it when Crea (H.A. herself) has input on the song...the lyrics flow better, and it's jsut a better tune...

I think that DAI is going to leave the business. I heard somewhere that he's sick of composing for EVERYONE. Maybe he's going to take a break?

P.S. II - What the hell is IMO??

isn't DAI has been retired?
i don't really used to his compose
i love bounceback more than him

I like DAI more than BOUNCEBACK.

Umm... they're both good in their own ways?

I prefer DAI... CREA + DAI are the best...

both are amazing. actually i love all the bounceback songs.
