whether before that...no Which is a really big deal, to like literally everything, and I know that's not plausible, and probably shouldn't have ever been...so I don't really look to love everything...but I would like her songs to be, good...entertaining at least.

And they have been...but they don't beat stuff she's done...but that's okay. I'm really at a place where I don't really mind...but I don't think that we should just discount all her older music either, just because the new stuff has a style people like better...

Ayu is ayu. Her music shows all parts of her. We're at a forum lol We can debate about what we think is better or worse, or whatever~

Sometimes people freak...but meh lol


About her delivering...I think that's gonna be different with each person. Sometimes she'll deliver, sometimes she won't.

She never fails to be herself though. And that's good.
I totally understand and agree with what you are saying. I don't think any of her music should be discounted as it is a representation of who she is at the time. I love her old style and I love her new style, I think both have a lot to offer. And considering the sheer amount of music she release I think it's fairly normal to start being more picky about songs, or seeing faults. Especially since her style changed. But I'm glad you still get things out of the music she gives us fans.
And about having good pop songs: yes, I think she does deliver. In terms of pop music Ayu has a generally high standard. Even if you don't like them, imo, they are still good pop songs.
