It's just the reality of things now-a-days. In the past, her music was just so EPIC. Now, it seems like she is struggling to find her place. If people don't like it, let them. Don't get mad - they are only feeling frustration because they love her. I admit I have felt the frustration many o' times because I listen to my favorite material from her and it's just SO DAMN GOOD. It's heartbreaking... and very nostalgic. Just because someone isn't praising Ayu's works left and right and puking rainbows over everything she releases does not make them mean or a bad fan. Negative is just as much of an opinion as positive.
I totally agree with you.


For me, I love her vocals in all albuns (not all performances though), but I love her vocals the most in Memorial address/MY STORY era. It was not too much high pitched, but not really deep too, it was just perfect for her <3
