Well, ayufan11....its like u and a gazillion people. I don't know where u get any idea that ur somehow alone in not liking ayu for like the past several years.
On another note. I like ayus recent ballads so I see no problem with her releasing them. If ayu wouldve released (as random examples of ballads I like) RAINBOW, still alone, Hanabi ~episode II~, and forgiveness or something right after each other, I wouldntve have minded them because I love them
I mean, I feel like its asking much of an artist if I LOVE the songs but they're not the genre I wanted. I never understand fans that dismiss a song cuz its not the genre they wanted. Although I'm not sure if this is you.
As I've said sometime before. I'm not going to ask ayu to do things she's not in the mood for making. Me, I Love rock. I would love ayu to do another rock song. But if ayu herself doesn't want to, I'd rather not she force herself to doing something she's not in the mood for making or writing lyrics too
I view all of these ballads and the different things she's been trying to express through her lyrics as what she wants to do. But is that fact? No. Just my views. And as far as what I mentioned find it fitting enough for the occasion. Assuming ayu is doing what she wants to do and not being controlled like a robot
Everyone has their own views of music. Everyone has the music they like and dislike. When someone dislikes something they may feel its just because the artist is uninspired or being lazy, and stupid. When someone likes something someone may think the artist may be totally inspired, hard working and genius etc.
Neither is necessarily true. Because none of us actually know ayus insides, her thoughts, or how she works, is she's inspried or uninspired. What people think are usually just assumptions and explanations for why they don't like or do like something.
At least we know some things about ayu herself, but not everything
So me, I'm happy while I'm liking ayus songs. Very happy. Because one of my favorite bands, their latest songs I don't like, and for me personally since I don't mind the genre, I just don't like the songs. There is nothing conrete I could say about their work ethic or inspiration, etc. I just don't like it
Now if one didn't like ayus rock songs because they don't like rock anyway, I say that makes a bit more sense
As far as previous ayu works, compared to now, its honestly hard for me to compare, because of how much ayu changes comparing one thing with another is like comparing another artist with another. I get different thinmgs emotionally from different songs so that doesn't help either lol. So I don't know what to say on that whole dilema of yours.
Not sure if all of what I said releates directly to your post or the posts of everyone elses here. It may just relate to this thread and things I've seen as of late in general.
