:/ It's because the music is epic. Jolting, and exciting. Starts soft, and builds up into something incredible that leaves you stunned.
"more emotional" is really a...bad statement for people to say...cause it could mean a whole slew of things.
Her ballads these days are more soft, more reflective sounding. More "pretty", less raw, but still very heartfelt, emotional, and still very Ayu.
Two different styles. It's obvious that people who fell in love with the style of these new ballads are going to like them better, and vice versa for those who fell in love with her old sound.
Maybe her older stuff is overrated. I mean, I can't even think of a bad song she has before MY STORY, not counting a song for xx. That's the mind set I'm used to. People with similar styles I'm used to being around.
The dearest hate just leaves me X_X here. Because, it's more about how you felt when the songs came out, and you saw her singing it, and it was amazing...did you know that such emotion could exist in a person...
People who werent around for that, wouldn't understand it.
Another thing, is that, a lot of people have really personal ties to her older music. It's gonna be hard for her to top stuff that literally changed peoples lives.
It's just, a matter of understanding perspective...from each individual person. It's not easy...but I think we're all doing fine.
Anyway...crossroad is <3. I'm really happy with the pitch of her vocals in the studio version. It's just exactly what I wanted for the song.
Seven days war...will take time to get used to. It's like MY ALL part 2 or sometihng...one of those songs.
Clockwork yellow remix is
^thx for the inside pic identity~ Loving her in the glasses <3
