Spoiler:

So like, yeah we get these a lot lately, and despite what some people may think, I think it says a lot that people are kind of divided about her music right now, and that it's not something that should just be ignored and just cast aside.

I agree with you. I think her music now is nowhere near where her music used to be, but, I think that doesn't mean that it isn't good, or that, it isn't likable. (we seem to have similar tastes though, as far as ayu music)

I think for people like us, we've come to an impasse here. One road, is to just leave, and take a break from Ayu, and maybe come back later, and the other is to change your perspective a little bit, and choose to support her anyway.

I had to tell another friend just yesterday actually lol, that Ayu's old music isn't ever going to come back (and as much as people want to be like "BUT LAST ANGEL?!" No. Last Angel is great, but it's still not the same.

But anyway, when you get to this point, where you've loved an artist for such a long time, and they start producing....this "stuff"...I think you have to start seeing the music in it's context, and not for yourself.


Did anyone see the interview with Oprah and JK Rowling? lol They brought up the Michael Jackson interview, where he said that he never knew how big his success was, and that he was always trying and trying to top what he had done before...but he was just constantly failing to himself. And both Oprah and JK addressed the question, do they feel like they have to top what they did before.

And both of them said no. That they feel comfortable now, where they are, and they're happy doing whatever they want to do. And I think, this is true for Ayu too.

And I think it says a lot that, while Ayu is always enthusiastic about her music, that she's happy with she's releasing. I always tell people how stubborn and difficult Ayu is, but they never listen to me. She wouldn't release something that she wasnt okay with, and that to me is a big deal.

Because it says that this is the music that she wants to put out, and it's the parts of her she wants to express.

So, in the end, you know these songs, really are just Ayu, and not her music.


My recommendation is to go out, and find other artists that can give you music you can love, and just, try to enjoy what ayu puts out, even if you don't really like it.
