When I think of pop, I think of madonna, cher, britney spears, koda kumi, namie amuro, perfume, etc. and I couldn't imagine any of them releasing such songs as talkin' 2 myself, game, or microphone. I feel like ayu is venturing farther away from pop as the years go on. Slowly but surely.

We need startin'/sexy little things part 2. XD or at least a video like that. Everything she has so far is emotional, or angry. we need fun!
Ayu has never been the one to follow typical pop formula. She's not a cookie-cutter pop star who churns out dance tunes 24/7. Her brand of pop has ALWAYS been different. And you're right, what makes Ayu Ayu is the simple fact that few of those people you mentioned could release the music she does with such a perfect blend of pop and rock and such emotion. Rock has been incorporated in her music almost from the beginning.

Also, when Ayu did make music with a similar atmosphere of those artists you mentioned - i.e. NEXT LEVEL, she was bashed for it. She had dance music, generic pop ballads, sassy pop-rock and apparently it wasn't good enough at the time It wasn't "polished" as some would say. So she went "back to her roots" as she says and we got Rock'n'Roll Circus. We get rock ballads like MOON and summer pop rock like blossom. POP+ROCK = Ayu. And I don't mean to sound rude when I say this, I honestly don't; but if you're so fed up with it, I don't know why you continue to listen to her music anyway because it's never going to change...

And if it does, I'm sure it'll be a problem for fans because some (not you babe ^^) are not satisfied with anything and they should go back to the cookie-cutters like Britney Spears for generic pop music with no music range what-so-ever.
