I'd call it stubborn.
I should explain rather than just accusing. I dislike this, "people will hate it anyway" mentality that she used as her justification for doing this new type of set list. Rather than basing her reasons on solid facts and situations Ayu appears to have based it on an idea that has no groundings outside what she perceives to happen. Yes, there was a risk of people not liking something she could put together so quickly, but doing something AYU found fun for her surely seems like more of a risk? I don't quite understand WHY. It seems like a bit of self gratification...?
Of course, if I had liked this new set list, I wouldn't be saying this. However, her reactions to such heavy criticism is not what I expected, whether I like it or not. Power of Music had reasons for the change - a theme, an idea, a concept - a message she wanted to portray. Something to stand her ground on in the face of criticism. Not simply "well you'd hate what I was going to do before anyway, so I'll just do this 'cause whatever really". It seems like an excuse for covering up a risky decision that hasn't paid off...
...or that Avex asked her to promote Naoya and she won't outright say it beyond hints of annoyance at management. At least, that is the impression I got from the "they said this or nothing" comment posted a while back. Or maybe Ayu wanted to help? Idk. This is all so dodgey, and not just the bad (imo) choice of songs and Ayu attitude drama. :/
