She changed it even more by composing music herself with I am... 2001. She went back to her more poppish music root for RAINBOW 2002. (when sales started to drop). Then she doing almost the same thing with Memorial address 2003. She had a new taste for more rockish music with MY STORY 2004. She did experimental type of music with (miss)understood 2005. Then she just isn't heading anywhere anymore with Secret, Guilty and NEXT LEVEL 2006~2009 |
I kinda have to agree with you....imo each of her albums have something unique that makes them different from one another till Guilty...coz its like Secret part 2. Although I really appreciate ayu trying something different with NEXT LEVEL, the more I listen to the album, the more I feel it lacks something. Not that the songs are bad, I enjoyed them all. I think ayu should take control again and not rely on 'professionals' that aren't really professionals...coz nowadays its not just her music...her pvs and even photoshoots are not that great....thanks to shitmomura. I think she's at her best when she's in control. I would love to see ayu compose again and spend even more time on her music...even if it means we'll get simple tours...which I don't mind coz I love pcdl. I think I'm enjoying the live cd more than the album...coz of the songs.
