This is a really fantastic thread. I am also sick of people´s critism to every new release Ayu does recently. Of course her music and the songs are different to what they were a couple of years ago, because she evolves, like every one of us do. We all change frequently, get new jobs, listen to new artists, change our clothing style, change our taste in food, get a new pet, play new online games, get new friends, get a new love. Some of things are big change, some of them are only small. So how can we fans take the right to "forbid" Ayu to change, to evolve, to grow. (I know forbid is a hard word, but I really have the feeling some ppl act like that)
I also don ´t like some of her newer songs, but I also don´t like some of her older ones. I am also a bit tiered of all the ballads, but it´s Ayu´s choice. I love Ayu because of her music, but I love her even more for her personality, I dunno, I just like the way she is, how she impresses her feelings, how she is so sweet to her fans, that´s the reason I will always like her, even if my taste in music may someday make me not liking her songs that much anymore.
