Ok. I don't agree with the first part. Some people (maybe it's not the case anymore) made brand new things in the past. I don't think it's always a matter of taking old things to create new ones. But yeah, it may be the case nowadays.
For ayu, you're probably right. I didn't really get what you meant by taking old stuff.
I usually make a distinction between "taking inspiration" and "recycling". If she's taking inspiration I really don't mind, that's what an artist do. But for example I don't want a Kiss o' Kill part 2 (like Fairyland = BLUE BIRD and glitter IMO).

For "mircophone" I really don't have any opinion. I don't want to make one before a better preview comes out. I don't feel it is necessarily a Kiss o' Kill part 2 (that was an example above) just because there is organs.
