The so called scandals haven't affected how much I listen to her, but the mini-album mess has.
Normally when an artist I follow puts out a single, I listen to it once and then ignore it till the next album comes out so I don't get bored of it. Call me naive, but when "LOVE" came out, I expected her to release 4 minis and a compilation album for the 5 releases, so I listened to that and "again" constantly, thinking that I'd skip the compilation if that's what she released at the end. But then "LOVE again" came out, and as much as I loved the minis there wasn't enough decent new material for me to enjoy, so I kinda lost interest in her. I still come back to her every so often, but right now Namie and Kuu are giving me just what I want instead
