But I do feel somehow, and please don't take this the wrong way, if you really dislike BRILLANTE that much I don't know what you're looking for in Ayu's music anymore. I'm not really saying that the song is perfection and if you hate it you have no taste but... It just seems to have kind of classic Ayu feel but new at the same time. I thought that's what most people wanted but maybe that's not how people feel about the song. FIVE is an album full of new things Ayu hasn't tried before and it seems to be very poorly received by fans here. What kind of music do you want Ayu to do? What kind of direction do you want her to go in? I might make a thread on this topic... or there might be one in existence xD; Too lazy to check, too lazy to make it lol.
That's not really accurate; I became addicted to ayu's music after I heard all of her uplifting and happy pop and encouraging rock songs, and that is what I want from her. BRILLANTE doesn't contain any of that, instead ayu gives me something I am not familiar with. (speaking for myself of course)

It really is fascinating how there is a big crowd who are supporting the song, a smaller crowd disliking the song and a LOT of people who think that BRILLANTE is ayu's masterpiece.

And I agree, maybe someone should open an thread to discuss BRILLANTE, I'm sure many people will express their mixed feelings about that song there. It's also nice to read what other people think about it.
