I really dont have probs with ayu's latest releases. The songs that I don't care for as much are scattered throughout her career.
Lucky me.
I can understand fans have trouble giving up. But they sure can complain a lot in their lack of being impressed lol. So I think that's why the general reaction for those of us who like her sometimes tends to be "well, just leave then".

reminds me has that absolutely devestating intro - it was enough to move you to tears. That is a prime example of how emotion can be portrayed through a song. The lyrics for reminds me are heart-wrenching and you can totally feel that in the composition of this piece of work.
As far as (don't) Leave me alone, the reason why I loved it is because it had that "fierce, in your face" power to it that my name's WOMEN had and I love that most about her POWER tracks.
Days, I will always worship that song. I had given up hope on a somewhat cheesy, all-out "winter" ballad similar to No way to say. Together when... wasn't full out "WINTER" ballad. But, here comes Days with such a simple melody, and nothing seemed FORCED in this song. It was as if it all came together so easily - both composition and arrangement. That song was born to be that way, and Ayu herself felt the same way (I remember her talking about a song 'from God' prior to release). I love it when a song comes off effortlessly, rather than falling short of being the best that it can be.
