[Ayumiko]

Experimenting new things is a good thing and like I said before I really appreciate it...it was a refreshing change but ayu needs to know what is good change and what is not and also find the balance of new and old and not just stick to certain things....like not just use ishii and shitmomura and totally ditched leslie kee and wataru...shitmomura should really disappear. Thanks to him, I didn't buy the latest Vivi coz of the ugly cover.

I think one of the reasons the sales are the way they are has something to do with how she's been managing her career in recent years. Ayu needs to do something about it or she'll be like Otsuka Ai...keep falling. Ayu will always be my fav artist and I want her to rise again.

v3lun420: yea I feel ayu trusts/rely on her staff too much now coz they've been with her for a long time and stuff. It feels like she's not using her own judgment. I do like ayu being appreciative towards her staff, letting them be included in many things as if she's scared they'll lose their jobs...but its kinda getting a bit much now like its a ayu value pack.
