so like, I'm not really gonna read everything or reply to everyone...cause...all this stuff has been hashed to death...
I'm just gonna say Secret, because that's when I feel she first started to develop this...formula, style whatever, that defines the way she makes music now...Although, I have come to believe that a lot of it has to do with the people around her...and the fact that, she loves to keep her people around for far too long a time, and no, I'm not just talking about Kazu.
In any case, I have also come to believe, after much convincing from someone else, that her music started losing it's complexity in its technical aspects around MY STORY...but I personally like that style, and I think she had a nice balance for (miss) understood...perhaps the best balance...so I'm gonna say Secret.
While I like her songs now, I do miss how her older music had really interesting arrangements that were kind of unique in their time. I remember when I first heard them, I didn't know music could sound like that....and well, after all this time drifting and dabbling in different styles of music, I still haven't found anything that quite sounds just like the old Ayu, say LOVEppears-I am......which I find interesting in an industry that...well...likes to "mass produce" sounds.
I mean come on...how many morning musume sounding female groups are there out there.
