I honestly don't think LOVE & again were releases that considered as a joke as I admit that the material for both contains some of her best stuff in recent times
It's just that I really disliked the way this whole 15th anniversary campaign was going towards , direction wise . At 1st no doubt about it when this was announced , I was excited but along the way , somehow or another , things got lost if not screwed up very badly
Didn't helped matters that Maro was dragged into all this & isn't it way too concidence he starred in You & Me , Wake Me Up & snowy kiss which coincides with the release of again (and A SUMMER BEST) ? It's the same when Mannie also starred in Virgin Road , Last angel & Love song prior to the release of Love songs which's like deja vu all over
She didn't need any form of unwanted publicity to sell records back then (especially when she was with Nagase for such a long time prior to their breakup) , I don't know why in recent times this has happened . I don't need that coming from her at all which makes her look a bit desperate & somehow or another even though the quality of her music to me is still there , professional wise ... it's a different thing altogether
