^I didn't mean anything by it hun, I just thought it was funny
I think you're right about Ayu's lyrics, however, I think, sometimes maybe a mature Ayu is perhaps boring for some?
In her old lyrics, it seems like she was always some how unsure or looking for something, but now she most definitely more sure. And we see that a lot on her interviews and her blog posts, mag stuff. Ayu has matured in a way that to me is very special because a lot of people don't really get to "see the light" as she sees it. Ayu is sort of a different person for me now...and sometimes I'm not sure if people are able to connect with her lyrics as much anymore because they are so static.
I think Ayu's lyrics are still beautiful...but...I can connect with them. Maybe some people don't like them? Or the new Ayu. A lot of people see her just recycling stuff, and she does, but it's always different and tweaked. The reason why she does, is because it's important to her.
I think Hikki is a very deep lyricist. She just has different tastes. Hikki is very well read, and extremely smart when it comes to people I think, the difference between her lyrics and perhaps Ayu's is that, as they've grown, they've matured in different ways. Ayu has sort of matured through herself, and she still see's things very much for herself. Hikki I think has a knowledge that is more secular and she doesn't show the deepness inside herself because...well I think that part of her is very private. They sort of talk about the same things in different ways, and their lyrics alone make them extremely different artists, add in the music styles and you have two people who have figured out life and themselves in very different ways.
You know as I think about your comparison to Sylvia Plath a bit more...before i thought it was just funny...although extreme...I think it's just another product of how well Ayu knows herself, and maybe doesn't know everything...but Ayu...is quite the interesting character. And not just for her career lol
