You can definitely take advantage of your situation (like ayu's) to pull amazing songs, but i feel ayu used the same formula in this album a little too much. To make a strong song you DONT have to use rock guitars to make it powerful, the feeling i have is that ayu tried to fill the emotion of the song with the melody & guitars instead of with her voice
exactly. Lots of people came out with amazing material. This "rough" time is nonexistent. Albums sales are on par with the economy. It doesn't have to sell 1 million to be good. But this album is simply disappointing. Like I said, I appreciate some people like it. But me personally, I just don't.

That doesn't mean I don't want it to sell well. I do. God I hope it does. So Ayu can make her next album better.
