^That's true. I think at this point in her career, she's free to take more risks since (I hate to say it, but...) she's on a downward slope in popularity, anyway. I was pleasantly suprised to find that she returned to a darker/rock-edge sound with the GUILTY album...so it'll be interesting to see what she does next. I'm not disappointed in her in the least. I'm actually more proud of her now than ever. People put a lot of weight and worth in setting/breaking records, being #1, and selling millions. Well...with Ayu, I feel like the issue is kind of "been there, done that." She's already achieved all those things, and now she's still going strong. She's got lasting power, our Ayu. And the fact that she's still putting forth so much effort and passion in her career after losing her hearing in her left ear and everything...it motivates me as a person to do the same thing when I face adversity.
