I can also be sometimes called a sourpuss or and Ayu snob, as I detest some of Ayumi's most popular work like "Dearest", "Endless Sorrow", and "No way to say".

I do miss Ayu's tracks that had rockier feel to them, like "1 LOVE", "About You", "is this LOVE?", "Microphone", "my name's WOMEN", "GAME", and "I am". When I first heard "talkin' 2 myself", it was slightly off-putting. Now it is one of by favorite tracks from GUILTY. "Naturally" was one of the first Ayu songs I've ever heard, and it really cannot get more perfect.

I can see how this can be your least favorite Ayu album. With all these medium ballads, it's like Love songs II. I wish she threw a track that sounded like "About You" in here.

That being said, how could you dislike "sending mail" and "Last angel"?

Well I do enjoy Love songs now. I mean I totally love it and I think I disliked every song on that album at one point or another (except blossom, I liked blossom right away). Sending mail I had a problem with the chorus at first, but I warmed up to it. And Last angel, again with the chorus. It's kinda awkward but I've gotten used to it. I love LOVEppears though and I enjoy songs off of A Song For XX. I never had a problem with her voice really, lol.

In short, I miss the songs by Ayu that make you feel like you've just stepped onto a rollercoaster; thrilling, heart-racing, super exciting. If you've ever been on that Aerosmith Rock'n'Rollercoaster at Disneyworld that goes from 0 to 57 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds, that's what Ayu's music used to feel like to me. Now it's more comparable to stepping onto a gondola and floating down the water at a much slower pace.
