I don't really watch Ayu's performances on TV shows or her concerts, so I can't really talk about those. I do own the Power of Music DVD but I have no desire to watch it, lol.
Music-wise, Ayu's 2012 has been very hit or miss for me, especially when compared to other artists I listen to.
I found Party Queen to be such a disappointment. It's one of my least favorite albums, down there with ASfXX, LOVEppears, and Duty. I only listen to Call and Reminds Me nowadays (used to listen to NaNaNa, but I think I'm over it and I might just end up deleting it). PQ is one of the few albums in my J-Pop collection that I regret buying.
You & Me didn't really click with me. I only like maybe the first minute or so. I don't care about the rest of the song.
As for LOVE, while I adore Song 4 u, I don't care for Missing, and Melody is a snoozefest.
again is the only decent thing she put out this year. It makes up for LOVE and A SUMMER BEST, and almost makes up for Party Queen. Love Wake Me Up, Snowy Kiss and Ivy. Sweet Scar is the weak link and I don't care for that song too much.
All in all, not too happy. I'm hoping 2013 will be better.
